《易经》意义的来源

<易经>文本的零散性使其表面上看来并没有什么意义,但是,易学史上所诠释出来的<易经>意义却丰富多彩,那么<易经>的这许多意义究竟是从哪里来的呢?<易经>意义的来源有三个方面,即(一)天地赋予<易经>以意义,这就是<易经>的天地意义;(二)<易经>符号(卦爻符号和文字符号)之间的逻辑关系会产生意义,这就是<易经>的逻辑意义;(三)人类将自己的认识投射到<易经>上而形成<易经>的投射意义.<易经>的这三大意义及其来源有着中国式的独特学理,即使是专门研究文本意义的西方解释学对之亦不能完全加以解释.

The origin of the meanings of Yi jing

The fragmentariness of the contents of the Text of Yi jing (Book of Change) makes it superficially have no (logical) meanings. But itsmeanings explicated in thehistory of the Yi studies are abundant. Where are they from? Actually the meanings of Yi jing originate from three aspects: one, the meanings granted from the heaven and earth, called heaven-earth meanings; two, meanings derived from the logical correlations between the hexagrams, lines and remarks affiliated to them, called logical meanings; three, meanings that man shed their cognition on Yi jing. These three kinds of meanings and origins are characteristic of unique Chinese academic approaches. Even the western hermeneutics particularly studying the meanings of text cannot completely interpret them.
