摘要
在今天许多学者笔下,《吕氏春秋》的思想就是吕不韦的思想似乎已成了不证自明的前提,并由此前提出发探讨与之相关的问题。这个看法在一定程度上克服了宋代以来读书界普遍存在的因人废书倾向,但能否说就没有受到其他成见的荫蔽呢?从《史记》等现有材料来看,《吕氏春秋》是由吕不韦授意编撰的,他个人的一些想法、主张,也应在书中有所反映,但具体的编撰工作,则由其门下积学之士担任。吕不韦对《吕氏春秋》思想的形成有着重要的影响,但《吕氏春秋》绝非其为政指南。就《史记》、《战国策》等对吕不韦生平行事及其当政期间秦国国政的记述来看,吕不韦是一个精于权谋的“闻者”,而非励精图志的改革家。吕不韦与秦王政的政见或有冲突,但吕不韦与秦王政之间的矛盾,应主要还是雄心勃勃的君主与把持朝政的权相之间的矛盾。
Liishichunqiu is a famous ancient book totaled by Lü Buwei, who was once an intelligent and capable merchant, and subsequently became the Prime Minister of the Qin kingdom. Did Lü Buwei really participate in the practical work of compiling Lü shichunqiu? Did he contribute his thinking or learning, besides aids of money or power, to this book? Quite a number of scholars doubt it. LüBuwei was not a strong-hearted reformer who aroused his all efforts to make the Qin kingdom prosperous. He, as many ancient writers had revealed in their works, was a worldly-wise minister who strengthened by all means his own power and influence. Lüshichunqi, in accordance, could not be the demarche which LüBuwei followed to reform the Qin's traditional policies.
