《四庫全書總目》中的帝王之學探析

A Probe into the Study of Emperors in ''The General Catalogue of Siku Quanshu''

乾隆執政時期所編纂的《四庫全書總目》，著者在寫作各書提要的同時，也懂得把握時機，適時的重新梳理聖人之學的傳承、內涵以及道統的承續等議題，其背後目的，在清帝王與漢人政權的共主同樣具備聖人身分之下，使外來的滿清政權也能接枝中原文化道統。清廷更藉執政之便，重新詮釋《四書》《五經》等經典，冀以取得對經典的詮釋權，企圖透過以「學統」證「道統」的方式，證明清室乃孟子之後道統的合理繼承者，清廷統治漢家天下實屬歷史潮流、順天應人。《總目》編纂者此舉就漂白清室血統而言，取得空前成功。

The ''Siku Quanshu General Catalogue'' compiled during the Qianlong reign, the author, while writing the summary of each book, also knows how to seize the opportunity to re-organize the inheritance, connotation and continuity of the sage's school in a timely manner. The Manchu Qing regime can also graft the Central Plains cultural traditions, and the Qing emperors and the co-lords of the Han regime also have the status of saints. Regarding the inheritance of the Central Plains cultural orthodoxy, the Qing court gained the right to interpret the classics by reinterpreting the Four Books and the Five Classics and other classics due to the convenience of its ruling power.
