试论《乐记》的作者及与子思学派的关系

摘要

有关今本《乐记》的作者问题一直是有争议的，从传统文献与出土文献两个角度进行考察，《乐记》最有可能的作者是战国时的公孙尼子。通过《乐记》与《性自命出》、《荀子·乐论》的对比研究，进一步肯定了《乐记》作于公孙尼予之说。公孙尼子的思想与子思学派接近，或说公孙尼子原本就属于子思一系。因此，研究子思学派可以把《乐记》纳入考察之范围。%As we know, there has been a heated dispute on the author of The record of music, the author of The record of music is probably GongSun Nizi in the warring states from the angle of both traditional literature and the unearthed literature. We are sure that The record of music is written by GongSun Nizi through the contrast research of it, and the research of Xing Zi Ming Chu and Music theory of XunZi. The thought of GongSun Nizi and ZISi school is similar or GongSun Nizi belongs to a branch of ZiSi school. Therefore, we can put The record of music into the category of the investigation of ZiSi school.
