The Study Of Chu Bamboo And Liji

With the excavation of Guodian Chu bamboo in the city of Jingmen in 1993 and the Chu bamboo of the Warring States which were bought by ShangHai Museum in 1994, there raised an upsurge on the research of bamboo. There are many similar parts in words and chapters between bamboo and current version LiJi, especially, there's few difference between Ziyi that exists in current version and bamboo respectively. In addition, there are many similarities between current version Confucius Xianju and ShangHai Museum bamboo People's Parents, and there's great relationship between Zhongyong and XingZiMingChu.Expect a few differences in some chapters and words, there's no difference in Ziyi that exists in current version and bamboo respectively. According to the three versions, we could judge that current version Ziyi was written before the mid age of the Warring States and written by ZiSi. On the base of some scholars'inference of the writing time, we make a further added explanation. Lastly, we contrast their advantages and disadvantages of the three versions.There has the content of"Wuzhi"and"Sanwu"in current version Confucius Xianju and ShangHai Museum bamboo MinZhiFuMu. By careful comparing, we find that Confucius Xianju should be written earlier than MengZi, and current version Confucius Xianju was modified by the later scholars.Between Zhongyong and Xingzimingchu, there're also many similarities. The word"Human nature comes from the Mandate, and Mandate is descended from the Heaven"exists in the chapter of the latter, there's also"What Heaven has conferred is called The Nature", which lying at the starting of Zhongyong. By contrasting, we sure that it was written by Zisi in the early stage of the mid of the Warring States.The content of current version JiaoTeXing and LiuDe is consistent, and LiuDe made a supplement for the explaining on"Yiyuzhiqi". It proved that this statement had been popular in Pre-Qin. We will make a simple narration and comparative study on the newly Chu bamboo which also lies in LIji.
