摘要
"阳九百六"原本是一种基于天文历法推算的灾期,在公元前12年时已经兴起。由于《三统历》推算的阳九百六灾期刚好与王莽当权并篡位的时间重合,于是有了主弱臣强、王权衰落、王朝易代的象征意义。魏晋南北朝时期,由于中国社会和政局持续动荡不安,一方面,当时的学者开始用新的方法推算阳九百六周期,以便解释历史,预测将来;另一方面,每当政局动荡的时候,时人便以"阳九百六"灾期来比喻所处的时代,而且这种比喻一直持续到唐初,正是在这种背景下,道教的上清派和灵宝派在吸收魏晋历学阳九百六推算结果的基础上,重新构建了富有道教特色的劫运说和终末论。同时,阳九百六灾期逐渐成为方术的一种,唐王希明整顿《太一式》时,确立了新的阳九百六推算法,力图证明唐开元期间是盛世,不会出现灾期。王希明的推算法一直影响到五代宋元。
Originally, ＂yangjiu bai liu＂ was a disaster period calculated on the basis of astronomical calendar, which was formed in 12 B.E.C., and was considered to have a sign of the change of dynasties. During Wei-Jin and the Southern and Northern Dynasties, the Chinese society and politics was in continuous turmoil. On the one hand, the scholars then began to apply new methods to calculate ＂yang jiu bai liu＂ for interpreting history and predicting the future. On the other hand the people then saw it as a disaster time in which they lived. Such an analogy continued until the early years of Tang Dynasty, and had become a kind of Taoist practice. Wang Ximing of Tang Dynasty re-established a new way of calculation, trying to justify that the Kaiyuan period was a thriving one and would not bring about any disaster. His way of calculation has an influence till the Five Dynasties and Song and Yuan Dynasties.
