苏轼与经学

北宋学者对儒家经典的研究侧重于探讨义理，苏轼亦如此。他解经特别注重经典的原义并突出个人的见解，并以长于议论、言简义明、机智雄辩、曲为譬喻和联系时世的阐述方式深为学者叹服。他的经学思想具有民本思想的性质，所以不为封建统治者所赏识，以致理学成为中国统治思想后，苏学的学术价值被埋没了。现在，当我们重新审视宋学的文化意义时，不难发现苏轼经学思想的光辉。

Su Shi and the Study of Confucian Classics

The scholars in the Northern Song Dynasty prefered to probe into the significance of the Confucian classics. Su Shi, one of the scholars, paid much more attention to the original meaning of Confucian classics and stressed his own understanding while explaining them. He was lost in admiration by many scholars for being good at discussion, using simple words to express clear meanings, his quick - wit and convincing arguments and his using metaphors and connecting with the times. His thoughts about Confucian classics has the character of democratic thought, so it was not appreciated by the feudal rulers. As a result, the academic value of his study of Confucian Classics was overlooked after the Neo - Confucianism become the dominative thoughts in China. Now, we can easily find the brilliance of Su Shi' s thoughts on Confucian Classics when we look closely at the culture meaning of the scholars' works in the Northern Song Dynasty again.
