《礼记》中的丧礼与孝道思想探赜

An Exploration of Funeral and Filial Piety in The Book of Rites

摘要: 《礼记》之孝道思想是丰富而全面的，在中国儒学发展史上，完成了孝道的理论创造并达到其顶峰。《礼记》将“丧礼”与“孝”相结合，以“礼”为载体，用“礼”的外在形式来体现“孝”的思想内容。也就是说，孝，凭借丧礼来表达，丧礼本身则体现孝，并有孝道的教化作用，以此来探赜丧礼与孝相互凭借、相伴而生，爱中有敬、尊卑有序，互为表里、内情外行的关系。

Abstract: The thought of filial piety in The Book of Rites is rich and comprehensive. In the history of the development of Chinese Confucianism, the theory of filial piety has been created and reached its peak. The Book of Rites combines “funeral rites” with “filial piety” and uses “rites” as the carrier to express the ideological content of “filial piety” in the external form of “rites”. In other words, filial piety is expressed through the funeral, and the funeral itself embodies the filial piety and its teaching function. In this way, the study explores the relationship between filial piety and mourning, that is, respect and seniority in love, the relationship between the inside and the outside.
