摘要
战国中后期,许多学者将探索天地万物所具有的特定数字表现形式,当作探索宇宙、人生、政治的根本途径来看待。《吕氏春秋》承继了这种探讨,并力图将各家之说统合起来。此书所采用的数字化结构形式,利用数字的神秘寓意来表现其编撰意图。十二纪之12×5形式,意在表明所论是蕴含天地之奥秘,体现了"道"之根本的天子之制;八览之8×8形式,隐寓地道、臣道、治术;六论之6×6形式,既象六合,又寓"人道六制,"而偏重于人(士)的视角。《吕氏春秋》的神秘数字体系,是以历数为主,兼用《易》筮之数,来统合已成常识的神秘数字。这表现了此书编撰者试图超越当时的学派之争,从古老的传统和普遍的常识中寻求智慧,破解天、地、人奥秘的意图。
In the middle and late periods of the Warring States, many scholars tried to explore the numeral forms of things in the universe as a fundamental way to study the universe, life and politics. L ti shichunqiu, combining opinions of different schools, carries on the exploration. The compilers tried to express their intention through the numeral structure and the mystical numbers. The form 12 × 5 of the Almanacs implies that they tried to constitute an ideal reign ruled by heaven, that is, Tao by the agency of the uppermost earthborn ruler, ＂Tianzi＂. The form 8 × 8 of the Examinations implies that they were talking about earth, officialdom, and statecraft. The form 6 × 6 of the Discourses, then, indicates what they cared about is human beings. The mystical numeral structure of L ü shichunqiu uses mainly the almanac numbers and integrates the common numbers with the numbers in Yi. It shows the compilers of the book, going beyond the conflicts of different schools, tried to find out wisdom out of ancient tradition and common sense to interpret the mystery of heaven, earth and mankind.
