孔子以文自任,始对中国文化统绪进行系统建构与自觉反省。他上承六经,乃经学之鼻祖;下开九流,乃诸子之源。由孔子始,以传播知识为谋生手段的独立的士(文士)阶层开始走上历史舞台,开辟了中国学术文化独立传承、发展的统绪。没有孔子,就没有战国时代诸子并作、百家争鸣局面的出现。孔子以其全幅的生命撑开成就了“人伦之至”(圣人)的人格典范,可以说“去圣没有真孔子”。 As a self-serving writer, Confucius began to systematically construct and consciously reflect on the general conditions of Chinese culture. He inherited the six classics, is the originator of science; under the flow of nine, is the source of all the sons. From the beginning of Confucius, the independent taxi (scholarly) class which disseminated knowledge to make a living began to take the stage of history and opened up an independent tradition of Chinese academic and cultural inheritance and development. Without Confucius, there will be no Warring States era masters and for the emergence of a hundred schools of thought. Confucius, with his full breadth of life, has succeeded in creating a model of personality that is “the best of all human beings.” It can be said that “there is no true Confucius”.
