This paper re-examines historical sources concerning the circulation of“Classic-Prophecy”(經讖) texts and re-evaluates their chronological development by suggesting that their formation likely dates no earlier than the Jianwu period. To begin with, although Li Xun’s“Six Wei”is related to Confucian thought, it cannot be equated with the“Classic-Prophecy”tradition. While Zhang Ba’s Bailiang Pian has proven to be a forgery, it continued to be in circulation and should not be definitively regarded as the origin of beliefs associated with“Classic-Prophecy.”Meanwhile, the“Secret Records”passed down by the ancestors of the Yang family are considered to be the He-Luo texts of astronomical calculation of ephemerides. Next, the section on“Han Historical Charts and Apocrypha”in Huayang Guozhi was likely inserted during the Sui-Tang period. The claim that prophetic involvement was“formed during the Ai-Ping period,”as stated by Zhang Heng, can only be understood within a diachronic framework. Moreover, the statement in Hou Hanshu that Zhi Yun relied on“Classics and Prophecies”was likely embellished by Fan Ye, who also complemented several chapter titles by referencing texts within their corresponding historical contexts. As Su Jing’s assertion of Confucius’s“Secret Scripture”refers to the genealogy of the He-Luo systems that has been“hidden and stored,”it also correlates with Huan Tan’s critique that the ancient writings were forged and wrongly ascribed to Confucius’s prophetic records. Lastly, the“Western Hunt and Kylin Prophecy,”rejected by Emperor Guangwu, concerns the records of Han and belongs to imperial prophetic narratives; however, it is fundamentally distinct from the series of Classic-Prophecy texts included in“Charts and Prophecies”(圖讖). |
