“王道”与“霸道”这两个词汇,在今天用语习惯中,经常作为完全相反的价值指述,但如果我们仔细考察这两个词汇的历史,就会发现除了孟子外,在儒家传统中,无论孔子与荀子,都没有那么截然地把“王”与“霸”对举起来。相反的,荀子虽然也讲王道,但通常只把它当成是理想世界的陈述,而霸道恐怕才是王道在现实中的样态。本文并试图将这样的概念引申到对两岸关系的关照之中,希望借古人的智慧,可以提供我们在解决两岸问题时的一些参考。 The two terms “kingship” and “overbearing” are often used as diametrically opposed narratives in today’s language habits. However, if we examine carefully the history of these two terms, we find that in addition to Mencius, In the Confucian tradition, neither Confucius nor Xunzi lifted the “Wang” and the “Ba” altogether. On the contrary, although Xunzi also speaks of the kingly way, he usually only regards it as the statement of the ideal world, and hegemony probably is the state of kingship in reality. This article attempts to extend such concept to the consideration of the cross-Strait relations. I hope that by using the wisdom of the ancients, we can provide some references when we solve the cross-Strait issues.
