On the philosophical implications of the seating plan contained in The Meaning of Community Wine-drinking Ceremony and its composition date
摘要 Abstract
《儀禮·鄉飲酒禮》記述諸侯鄉大夫每三年在鄉學（庠序）舉行選舉賢能之禮，而《禮記·鄉飲酒義》則解說經文包含的“尊賢養老”之意及坐位背後的意蘊，二篇又構成事義相應的關係。《鄉飲酒義》以“象”說解賓、主、介、僎、三賓坐位的象徵意義。本文將記文放在《易傳》及《荀子》、《中庸》的思想脈絡中作考察，闡明與禮諸人的坐位之義，及其與天文、四時、仁義的對應關係，以及當中體現的將人道與天道融為一體的觀念。《鄉飲酒義》談及仁義、聖、禮、德等德目，以及仁氣、義氣說，實有自來，可與《孟子》及郭店楚簡《五行篇》等文獻聯繫起來。然則，《鄉飲酒義》既以儒為主，又摻雜了不少如陰陽五行思想，融各家於一體而翻出新貌。凡此，無不反映篇中展現的晚周以後儒者的特點，其成書年代自可據以推知。
The Meaning of the Community Wine-drinking Ceremony aims to make interpretations of the Community Wine-drinking Ceremony. According to the traditional account, The Meaning of the Community Wine-drinking Ceremony was written by Confucian scholars from the Chunqiu period through early the Han period and was subsequently edited by Dai Sheng 戴聖. However, some modern scholars claim that there are allegedly primitive and mysterious thoughts contained in the text, which suggests that it was composed much earlier. Through careful contextualization, this paper seeks to reveal the relationship between the philosophical implications of the seating plan of the community wine-drinking ceremony with both transmitted and unearthed materials such as the Mencius 孟子 and Yizhuan 易傳. The result strongly suggests that The Meaning of the Community Wine-drinking Ceremony could not predate the Warring States period.
