明代易学在理学、心学、佛学三者相互碰撞与交融之学术背景下形成,反映了此一时期学术文化发展的理路与特色。明代定理学于一尊,易学以程朱之说为正宗。然程朱易学在明代盛行之时,又出现了完全不同于程朱易学乃至反对程朱易学的势力:一是心学视域下的易学,一是以恢复汉学考辨传统为宗旨的象学。明代易学经历了由独尊程朱到修正批判程朱即以心学和佛学解《易》,继而转向调和理学与心学、融通儒学与佛学的演进历程,故其易学往往表现出融合象数与义理、心学与理学、道家与儒学的鲜明特点。明代易学的价值在于确立了程朱易学在明清时期的法定权威地位,承传整合了以程朱为主流的宋代易学,在某些方面修正了宋代易学的缺陷,并形成了自己的易学观,推动了易学的发展,是易学史上不可缺少的重要环节。尽管清人对明代经学水平多有非议,我们仍不宜一味抹杀明代易学的学术贡献。
<<The Ming’s Yi Culture is formed in the collision and blending of science,the philosophy of mind and Buddhism and it reflects to the Idea and characteristics of academic and cultural development in this period. The set of Ming Dynasty is limited to one standard and the Yi culture made the Cheng Zhu school’s learning as the authentic theory. However,in the Ming Dynasty at the time of prevalence of Cheng Zhu School,there was another school completely different and even opposed to Cheng Zhu:one is the Yi culture in the field of philosophy of mind and another one is the agro meteorology that aimed to restore the textual research tradition in the Han Dynasty. The Ming’s Yi Culture experienced from the Cheng Zhu School’s Domination,to the correction and critics of Cheng Zhu,that is to interpret “Yi” with the philosophy of mind and Buddhist,then turned to reconcile the science and philosophy of mind and the intermediation of Confucianism and Buddhism. This makes “Yi” in this period with the characters of fusion of agrometeorology and argumentation philosophy of mind and science,Taoism and Confucianism. The value of Ming’s Yi is to establish the legal authority of Cheng Zhu’s learning in the Ming and Qing Dynasties,integrate the Song’s Yi that made the Cheng Zhu’s learning as the mainstream,and fix its flaws in some respects,them form its own concepts of Yi. It greatly promoted the development of Yi and is an important and indispensable step in the history. Although in the Qing Dynasty it received some criticism,we should not totally deny the Ming Dynasty’s academic contribution to Yi.
