《论语》中多次简略地记载了孔子以“仁”为核心、不避贵贱亲疏的举贤禅让思想,并以圣君举贤,且在年迈而“嗣子”不肖时禅让之以天下,为尚贤的至高境界;他同时主张“唐虞禅,夏后殷周继,其义一也”。孔子的上述思想,开启了战国时期诸子热烈探讨举禅问题的先河。汉以后改朝换代,多经历过所谓禅让典仪,而其禅让诏令文书所用话语,每每可追溯到孔孟之书,足见孔门举贤禅让思想理论历史影响之深远。 “The Analects of Confucius” has repeatedly stated that Confucius took “Ren ” as the core, did not avoid the expensive decency and decency to raise Yin to make thought, In the world, as the noble highest level; he also advocated “Tang Yu Chan, Xia Yin week, the meaning of a”. The above thought of Confucius opened the precedent for the philosophers in the Warring States Period to discuss the issue of raising the Zen enthusiastically. After the Han dynasty, many experienced the so-called Zen dictation, while the words used in his meditation and dictation instruments can often be traced back to Confucius and Mencius. It shows that Confucius held Yin meditation to make the ideological and historical impact far-reaching.
