哲学视域中战国楚竹书《周易》的文献价值

上海博物馆所藏楚竹书<周易>见证了数字式爻题的早已存在,与其他传本的<周易>爻题一样,充分蕴示了卦所潜涵的繁复无尽的变动不居之流变情状及卦与卦间所潜涵的同样繁复无尽的流变互通情状,由此而充分符示了宇宙人生中两大类势力互动格局繁复无尽的变动不居之流变图景与诸格局间同样繁复无尽的流变互通图景.楚竹书<周易>的卦爻画已是完全符号化了的卦爻画,但符号化的卦爻画于西周时期<周易>古经成书时当已存在,这种卦爻画乃是易学成为具有自身特有话语系统的高度哲学性的天人之学的根基.残存的楚竹书<周易>卦名后与上爻之辞终了后的奇特符号标识,昭示了卦与物事的极而必反、覆而相通之理,但尚难解读出经文分篇方面的信息.

Documentary value of Zhouyi inscribed on the bamboo slips of Chu by philosophical vision

Zhouyiinscribed on the bamboo slips of Chu collected in Shanghai Museum witnessed the existence of the marks of line by numbers of six (symbolizing Yinlines) and nine (symbolizing Yanglines). As the same as the marks in other transmitted versions of Zhouyi, these marks adequately revealed the most complicated circumstances of transformation without any fixed rules conceived in the hexagrams, and the same complicated circumstances of the transformations between the hexagrams, by which the prospect for the complicated cases of interaction and transformation without unchangeable regulations between the two forces (of Yinand Yang) and that for the same complicated transformations between the cases were adequately symbolized. The lines of the hexagrams in Zhouyion the bamboo slips of Chu had been fully symbolized. But the symbolized lines ought to have come into being in the Western Zhou Dynasty, when the Text of Zhouyihad been completed. These signs were indeed the foundation for Zhouyito possess its unique language system conceived with highly philosophical correlations between heaven and earth. The special (red or black) square marks after a hexagram and the remarks affiliated to the top line revealed the principle of that things will develop in the opposite direction when they become extreme, under the circumstance of which new transformations will begin. But the regulations for the division of chapters are still difficult to be interpreted.
