随着清华简《繫年》等新材料的公布,多数学者认可“共和行政”中的“共和”是指共伯和。曹魏学者孟康指出共伯曾入为三公,其实此处“三公”指的是周、召二公与共伯和。“共和行政”期间,共伯和具有类似周王的地位和权势,曾一度掌控王政大权,但仅是摄政,并未称王。 With the announcement of Tsinghua University’s “Department Year” and other new materials, most scholars recognize that “Republic” in “Republican administration” means co-operation. Cao Wei scholar Meng Kang pointed out that Gong Bo had been a member of the Three Officials. Actually, here, “three official” refers to Zhou and Gong Er and Gong Bo. During the “Republican administration,” Bo Bo enjoyed similar status and power as the King of the Week, once in charge of the power of Wang Zheng, but it was not a regent but a regent.
