十三經 the Confucian Classics
The Confucian Classics is a canon of important writings reflecting the teachings of the philosopher Confucius (Kongzi 孔子, 551-479 BCE). Authorship was partially attributed to Confucius himself, especially concerning the so-called Five Classics (wu jing 五經). In fact, only a small part of the whole canon dates from the time in which Confucius lived, which was called the late Spring and Autumn period 春秋 (770-5th cent. BCE). Parts of the "Book of Documents", the "Book of Songs", the "Book of Changes" and the "Spring and Autumn Annals" existed already before the time of Confucius and must be deemed "ancient classical texts" which Confucians often referred to. Yet the main part of the corpus was written or at least compiled during the Han period 漢 (206 BCE-220 CE) when Confucianism became the official state philosophy and thinking.
The books of the canon are divided into the Wujing 五經 "Five Canonical Works", including 易經 the Yijing "Book of Changes", 尚書 the Shangshu (also known as 書經 Shujing) "Book of Documents", 詩經 the Shijing (or 毛詩 Maoshi) "Book of Poetry", 禮記 the Liji "Records of Rites" and 春秋the Chunqiu "Spring and Autumn Annals" (the Chunqiu is in most cases combined with the so-called "Commentary" by 左丘明Zuo Qiuming, 左傳the Zuozhuan), and 四書 the Sishu "Four Books", including the teachings of the four philosophers 孔子 Kongzi (論語 the Lunyu "Confucian Analects"), his disciple 曾參 Zeng Shen (505-436, 大學 the Daxue "Great Learning"), 孔伋 Kong Ji (483-402 BCE), a grandson of Confucius (中庸 the Zhongyong "Doctrine of the Mean"), and 孟子the book Mengzi that includes the teachings of the philosopher 孟軻 Meng Ke (385-304 or 372-289 BCE).
後來經書的內涵不斷擴大。《後漢書·趙典傳》和《三國志·秦宓傳》中都有「七經」的記載,但未記載是哪七部典籍。後人有六經加上紀錄孔子言行的《論語》;東漢將五經加上《論語》、《孝經》;五經加上《周禮》、《禮記》三種說法。唐代時有「九經」的記載,後人認為是五經加上《論語》、《孝經》、《周禮》、《禮記》或是五經加上《周禮》、《禮記》並用春秋三傳即《春秋左傳》、《春秋公羊傳》、《春秋穀梁傳》代替《春秋》。九經也立於學官,用於開科取士。宋代的晁公武說唐文宗開成年間,在國子學刻石,將五經中《春秋》改為春秋三傳,再加上《周禮》、《禮記》、《論語》、《孝經》、《爾雅》為「十二經」。
南宋著名理學家朱熹提倡《孟子》之書。取《禮記》中的《中庸》、《大學》兩篇單獨成書,與《論語》、《孟子》合為「四書」,於是本為子部書的《孟子》也升格成為經書的一部分,合稱十三經。
明代李元陽刻十三經註疏,十三經之名完全確定。
清朝乾隆帝鐫刻《十三經》經文於石,1815年學者阮元刻《十三經註疏》,從此,「十三經」在儒學典籍中的地位更加鞏固。
