王夫之之礼与政治和合相契何以可能

摘要

王夫之作为明末清初有责任担当的大儒，他一生疲于奔波，政治和合是其毕生追求的理想与目标。王夫之毕生追求着和合政治梦，其基本路径为以礼坊民、以礼治政。王夫之认为礼与政治和合存在着内在的契合点。因为从和合之器上来说，礼乃治国之公器垂之后世，人修明于上而下皆则之。从和合之路来说，礼教正俗，因为礼先于刑则所为易从而能化。从和合之境来说，执政必以礼，礼宜政立而无不宜和。故此，礼与政治和合相契合。%Wang Fu-Zhi,as a great Confucianist with responsibility in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties,was busy run-ning around all his life and political concordance was his lifelong pursuit of ideals and goals.Wang Fu-zhi has pursued lifelong for the dream of political concordance and its basic path is to visit people with ritual and govern the country with ritual.Wang Fu-Zhi thought that there is a meeting point between the ritual and the political concordance.Because from the perspective of concordance,the ritual is the best approach to govern a country and the lower people will follow and imitate the upper people. From the perspective of concord road,the ethical codes may correct vulgar and because the ethical codes is prior to the punish-ment and easy to be accepted.From the perspective of the circumstance of concordance,the governing should have ethical codes,there is ritual there is harmony.Therefore,the ritual agreed with the political concordance.
