鄭玄 三禮注의 예학정신과 그 정치적 의미

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to get second thoughts about the assertion of Yoshihiro WATANABE, that is, Zheng Xuan’s the study of Confucian classics is ‘to prepare a new system to replace Han dynasty by a new force or empire’, I want to argue that Zheng Xuan’s the study of Confucian classics was rather made up as aim to further strengthen the justification of Han dynasty. The evidence which was the writer of this article presented is ‘the mind of lǐxué of Zheng Xuan’s San Li Zhu.’ According to this study, we was known that the mind of lǐxué of four typical kinds which was Zheng Xuan’s San Li Zhu oriented, was all concluded to the purpose of the feudal grade order(fēngjiàn děngjí zhìxù)’s reinforcement. For example, the ‘distinction’(別: bié) reveal soon it’s true character. Because it have originally a classical reason of distinction of social standing. About the ‘evasion of suspicion’, we can also say that it concern with the feudal grade order(fēngjiàn děngjí zhìxù). Because it has as its object block off misunderstanding which is a underling infringe on a elder's rights. And about the reverence and modesty, we can also say that it finally concern with useful logic for tighten the feudal grade order(fēngjiàn děngjí zhìxù). Because they aim that not only make the social and national venerable elder high, but also make me low. So I think that Zheng Xuan’s the study of Confucian classics and his San Li Zhu have powerful political orientation which has highly motivated to strengthen in those days of Dong-Han dynasty system. Because it reveal his powerful political orientation that Zheng Xuan judge only solution that a proprieties and the mind of lǐxué can rescue a most dangerous situation the late Dong-Han, and make greater efforts to strengthen them. And as Zheng Xuan claims Liu-Tian-Shuo(六天說) and Gan-Sheng-Di-Shuo(感生帝說), it is the same to strengthen the justification of Liu Han dynasty. Because itself the fact that Liu Han dynasty were formed by ancestors who was induced the vital force of Shou Ming Di(受命帝), that is Wu Tian Di(五天帝), is to protect a greater distinction of Liu Han dynasty. Therefore we can assert that Zheng Xuan’s the study of Confucian classics and his San Li Zhu is a constructional theory to rescue a most dangerous situation the late Dong-Han.
