Kandō Imamura's View of the Zhouyi and Its Influence on Classical Studies in Taiwan

本文的主要目的在於探討今村完道如何利用《周易》中的經傳哲思，實現他的政治理想。他認為《易》因卜筮而起，專為卜筮而用，所以《周易》是占筮之書，他也認為《周易》含有天下一切道理，所以也是義理之書，而這兩種不同性質的呈現，深深地牽動、影響著中國歷年來研究《周易》的動向。他認為從象數與義理兩方面作深入的研究，闡明《易》的哲學及中國民族思想，是古典的《周易》價值，而視能作為修身處世的訓言為今日的《周易》價值，認為應將此價值活用到政治上使君主與臣子有別、治者與民心相感、時運與政策配合，如此可以全民生。而治者要修得剛健、包容、從順、謙巽、中正之德，以全政治。This study primarily examines how Kandō Imamura utilizes philosophic thought recorded in the Zhouyi to realize his political ideals. He believes that Zhouyi began as a book on divination and was used specifically for such. He also believes that it contains all truths under heaven, thus also making it a philosophical book. This dual nature of the book deeply affected and influenced the orientation of research on the book throughout the history of China. He held that researching the xiang and shu, as well as its principles of truth, thus, expounding on Chinese thought, was the value that Zhouyi held in ancient times. However, in the modern era, its value is found in the philosophical sayings being able to aid in self-cultivation and conduct. Furthermore, he asserted that this value should be applied in politics to differentiate between ruler and official, to tie rulers to popular sentiment, and to have current events and government policy correspond. In doing so, the people will be greatly benefited. Rulers also need to learn the virtues of vigor, understanding, meekness, modesty, and equity, so as to perfect politics
