古代礼学文献的分类及其学术意义

由于学界对于礼学的概念存在分歧,礼学文献的分类难以取得一致意见。在总结前人的礼学文献分类法的基础上,可以将古代礼学文献按照其所在古籍类型分为十类：周礼类、仪礼类、礼记类、礼典与三礼总义及通礼杂礼类、其他经书之礼学文献、史部礼类文献、子部礼学文献、集部礼学文献、方外（佛教、道教）礼学文献、出土礼学文献与地方志族谱少数民族相关的礼类文献。相比以前的分类,此种分类基本囊括了所有的古代礼学文献,打破了以前礼学专属经学的惯性思维,体现出礼学文献资料遍布经史子集而存在的特点,同时这种分类法有助于当前礼学文献的全面整理与深入研究。

On the Classification of Ancient Ritual Literatures and its Academic Significance

Because of researchers hold jarringly different views to the concept of rite, they failed to reach agreement about the classification to the literatures of rite. Based on the previous research, the literatures of rite can be put into ten category: the Zhouli; the Yili; the Liji; the general etiquette theory; the literatures of rite in other confucian classics; the literatures of rite in the history; the literatures of rite in thinkers science; the literatures of rite in literary classics; The Buddhist and Taoist ritual texts; unearthed documents. This classification breaks through the previous confucian thinking, and reflects the ritual literature exists widely. At the same time, this kind of classification will contribute to the overall arrangement of the literatures of rite and promote the research of rite.
