摘要

漢帝國以儒為尊，儒學是為政治倫理之學說依據。其以政治策略抬高儒學身價，儒學又雜揉了陰陽家、道家等的若干觀點，使得在政治與學術之問，產生微妙的聯繫。儒生一方面尊經守儒、通經致用；另方面，由於政途管道增加，發展已極，在西漢、東漢更迭之際，王莽假以儒生形象，蓄意實行其「方士化」的政治實驗，本文將透過「漢儒方士化」中的王莽，說明並評述他在當時政治資源與若干儒生的協助下，如何結合政治與學術的操弄，達到轉移政權的目的與其影響。

Confucianism provided the principles for political ethics during the Han Dynasty. Most Confucian scholars would raise their social status by engaging in political strategy. Confucianism integrated the viewpoints of Yin & Yang philosophy as well as Taoism into both politics and academia, and made a subtle connection between these two arenas. Many Confucian scholars had become politicians after implementing the ”Comprehensive Mastery of the Classics for Practical Ends”. In the period of West and East Han Dynasty, Wang Mang had begun the political experiment of transforming Confucian scholars into Taoists. The study aims at evaluating his experiment based on the transformation of the Confucian scholars. It explains his ideas and techniques for integrating society and the activity of Confucian scholars into both politics and academia, as well as the inheritance, transformation and influence in theory for transforming Confucian scholars into Taoists.
