众所周知,中国古代的文化知识群体的主体是“士大夫”阶层。这一阶层与现代的或其它民族历史上的文化知识群体,都有许多重大不同。在现代学术中,除了对历史现象做经验性描述外,还常常使用“模式”进行理论分析。每一种模式都不可能兼顾其它角度,但也由此能够导出某种独到的抽象认识。下面,本文就从某种“模式”出发,对士大夫阶层形成过程的一个方面,做一个概略的解说。 As we all know, the main body of cultural knowledge groups in ancient China is the “scholar-officials” class. There are many major differences between this class and the cultural knowledge groups in modern or other ethnic histories. In modern academic, besides the empirical description of historical phenomena, it is often used “model” for theoretical analysis. Each model can not take into account other angles, but also can derive some kind of unique abstraction. In the following, this article starts with some kind of “mode” and gives a sketchy explanation of one aspect of the formation process of scholar-officials.
