在儒学发展史上，北宋程颢、程颐兄弟与南宋朱熹（合称 “程朱”）之所以极力凸显 “入德之门” 的重要性，绝非单纯的经典考据选择，而是关乎儒学生死存亡的 “道术重构”。其本质是回应两大核心挑战：在思想层面，重塑儒家义理的形上高度，与佛、道两教争夺中国人的精神主导权；在教育层面，重建由 “初学” 通往 “圣贤” 的道德阶梯，扭转汉唐以来章句训读脱离道德实践的学风。 In the history of Confucianism, the reason why the Northern Song brothers Cheng Hao and Cheng Yi together with the Southern Song’s Zhu Xi (collectively known as the “Cheng-Zhu” school) so vigorously highlighted the importance of the “Gateway to the Virtue Realm of Sagehood ” was by no means a simple choice of classical exegesis; rather, it concerned a “reconstruction of the Way and its arts” that would determine the very survival of Confucianism. Its essence lay in responding to two core challenges: at the intellectual level, to...

As a core theoretical proposition in the practical philosophy of Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism, “Gateway to the Virtue Realm of sagehood ” defines the fundamental starting point of Confucian moral cultivation. The Cheng Brothers regard The Great Learning as the essential entry for novice learners to pursue virtue. Inheriting this doctrinal judgment, Zhu Xi reconstructs the framework of the “Three Fundamental Principles and Eight Practical Articles” articulated in The Great Learning and formulates a hierarchical and progressive system of virtuous cultivation. This cultivation trajectory initiates from the investigation of things and extension of knowledge, advances through the sincerity of volition, rectification of the mind, self-cultivation, and familial regulation, and ultimately culminates in state governance and world pacification. Centered on the sagehood ideal and grounded in the canonical exegeses of The Great Learning by the ...

“入德之门” 是程朱理学工夫论的核心命题，标定了儒家学者道德修养进程的道德起点。二程将《大学》定性为 “初学入德之门”，朱熹承续这一学术判定，通过重构《大学》的 “三纲领八条目”，搭建起由格物致知起始、经由诚意正心与修身齐家、终达治国平天下的完整进德路径。本文以学为圣贤的理想目标为导向，以程朱《大学》诠释的原典为核心依据，结合相关学术研究成果，逐层解析 “入德之门” 的本体内涵、工夫方法及理论意义，阐明其贯通内圣外王的次第逻辑，揭示儒家下学而上达、由初学入门终至圣贤境界的道德修养进程。  The “Gateway to the Virtue Realm of Sagehood ” is a core proposition in the theory of self-cultivation (gongfu) of Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism, marking the virtue starting point of the Confucian process of moral cultivation. The Cheng brothers defined the Confucian Classic The Great Learning as “the gate for beginners to enter the Virtue Realm of Sagehood,” and Zhu Xi inherited this doctrinal judgment. By reconstructin...
