摘要
为了建立和发展幕府统治政权,日本在江户时代前期把儒教作为国家宗教,其代表人物是儒学家、军事家及古学家山鹿素行。他把儒教理论,特别是把儒家的“仁和礼”作为武士的道德规范,建立和完善武士道体系。从此以后,儒家思想在日本广为流传,并成为武士和一般国民所谈论的主要话题。到了明治时代儒教被废除,但是儒教思想早已深入人心,儒教精神仍然是日本国民的普遍伦理。本文通过儒教思想和武士道理论体系的比较,论证了儒教对江户前期武士道体系建立所起的影响。
Japan regarded the Confucianism as a national religion so as to establish and develop goevernmental powers to control the state in the early Edo period, and the typical representitive was Yamaga Soko. He was a Confueianist, militarist and archaeologist and applied the Confueianists＇ thought-morality and rites-to warriors＇ norms of their quality to form and perfect Bushido system. From then on, the Confucianists＇ thought spread and became popular topics among people and warriors. This paper discusses the fact that Confucianism was abolished by the MEIJI period, but Confueianists＇ thunght became a part of people＇ s life in Japan as popular belief and had a great effect on the forming of Bushido in the early EDO period.
