摘要:: 对《诗·周南·关雎》篇主旨的解读从先秦以来一直存在不同观点：早期儒家从情感与礼义之关系角度，以“以色喻于礼”评论《关雎》主旨；汉儒则认为《关雎》体现着“后妃之德”，具有“风天下而正夫妇”的教化典范意义，将上博简《孔子诗论》和帛书《五行》联系起来，对历史时期相关论述进行比较分析。研究认为，早期儒家和汉儒关于《关雎》主旨的评论看似颇有分歧，实际上则是内在一致的：“以色喻于礼”之论，是对《关雎》将生命意义上的男女恋情升华和规范为伦理意义上的夫妇之德的肯定；而汉儒对《关雎》具有“风天下而正夫妇”之政教意义的肯定，不仅与早期儒家夫妇伦理观念相一致，而且与早期儒家《诗》学观一脉相承；恰当理解《关雎》诗旨，才能有效解读其蕴涵的礼乐教化与美善之德意义。

Abstract:: The interpretation of the theme of Poem·Zhou Nan·Guan ju has always been different from the preQin Dynasty: early Confucianism comments the theme of Guan Ju to inform people of proper etiquette through poetry with reference to the theme of desire from the perspective of the relationship between emotion and ritual. Han Confucianism thinks that Guan Ju embodies the “virtue of empress and concubine” and has the enlightenment of exemplary significance to teach the world and correct the couples ways.This paper links up the Confucius poetics and Five elements to comparatively analyze the historical relevant discussion.The results show that on the subject of Guan Ju, the comments of the early Confucianism and the Han Confucianism seem to be quite different. In fact, they are inherently consistent: informing people of proper etiquette through poetry with reference to the theme of desire affirms the virtues of couple for the ethical sense, which is the sublimation and norms of men and women love for the life sense. Han Confucianism affirms political and religious significance of Guan Ju on the concept of teaching the world and correcting the couples ways, which is not only consistent with the couple ethical concept in early Confucianism, but also derives from the same origin with the view of poetry in early Confucianism. Appropriate understanding of Guan Ju can effectively interpret its implication of the ritual education and the virtues.
