宋襄公在歷史上爭議頗多。本文結合宋襄公的時代背景與其自身的文化背景,揭示其遭後世費解乃至非議的行事皆與其“殷餘民”身份有關。宋襄公讓國於公子目夷,符合殷人相讓之傳統;葬夫人不明明器與祭器,極有可能是遠承殷俗。至於宋襄公一系列的爭霸舉措,則與其強烈的民族復興使命有關,“一會而虐二國之君”也符合“用人於社”的東夷舊俗。最後,通過分析春秋三傳、《史記》等基本史料對於宋、楚泓之戰這一歷史事件完全不同的評價,探究其原因,實際上是作者自身學術背景的不同所導致。宋襄公所處的春秋時代尚沒有完全禮崩樂壞,其所興“仁義之師”實則符合對於古之君子的要求。 Song Xianggong many controversies in history.
