摘要
齐地方士公孙卿在元鼎四年为汉武帝讲述的黄帝故事,看似驳杂,却包含了明确的政治意图和颇具特色的宇宙—历史观念,在武帝封禅改制运动的谋划和展开中起到了关键作用。武帝的太初改历是对黄帝"迎日推策"的追模和再现,其封禅规划以"汉兴复当黄帝之时"的理论为重要基础,巡行和郊祀改革则分别受到黄帝通神于名山和"明廷"故事的推动。武帝追迹黄帝的种种荒诞行为,不应简单解释为其个人的痴迷盲目,而是政治、信仰和言说在权力顶端交织纠缠的结果。
In 113 BC,Gongsun Qing,a fangshi(man of technique)from the Qi area in the Western Han Dynasty,presented to Emperor Wu some stories about the Yellow Emperor,the legendary ruler of high antiquity.Those stories,though miscellaneous in content,in fact contained precise political intentions and unique ideas about the cosmos and history that would later play a pivotal role in Emperor Wu’s planning and implementation of the feng and shan sacrifices for worshiping Heaven and Earth as well as his ritual reforms.Emperor Wu’s Taichu(Grand Inception)calendar reform modelled on the Yellow Emperor’s act of"predicting days by reckoning with rods";his plan to enact the feng and shan sacrifices built upon the prophecy that"the rise of the Han Dynasty will match the time of the Yellow Emperor";his inspection tours and sacrificial reforms were likewise inspired by the Yellow Emperor’s contact with deities at famous mountains and the building of Ming Ting(Court of Brightness).Emperor Wu’s seemingly absurd imitation ofthe Yellow Emperor should not be interpreted as a blind,individual obsession;instead,it was the result of an entanglement of politics,faith,and discourses at the pinnacle of power.
