被锁死的圆融——朱元璋的生产型政治哲学实践及其悲剧

Abstract

English Abstract:This paper reinterprets Ming Taizu (Zhu Yuanzhang) through the lens of the "Productive Political Philosophy" framework. Unlike conventional historiography that portrays him merely as a suspicious tyrant or a peasant-emperor, this paper argues that Zhu was the most capable political architect between 907 and 1911 AD. He was the only emperor after the 628 AD constitutional shift who genuinely attempted to reconstruct the Zhou Rites' trinitarian structure of "Emperor–Producers–Defenders." Through enfeoffing his sons as the "brain," establishing the Weisuo military-farming system as the "backbone," and relocating civilian settlers as the "flesh," he built a complete, self-consistent, and direct-control system bypassing the civil bureaucracy. However, his tragedy lies in his possessing only institutional intuition but lacking philosophical self-awareness. He could rebuild the forms of Zhou institutions but could not endow them with a transcendent sacred narrative. The 700 years of "ontological castration" since 628 AD had locked the separation of "Ritual" and "Warfare" into the collective subconscious of the literati. Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism was the sole available ideological resource, and the Imperial Examination System had become a complete "socio-ecological system" that monopolized the definition of talent. Zhu could kill uncooperative scholars, but could not replace the mindset of the entire elite stratum, nor establish a new alternative "talent production line" in the short term. He reached the limits of what "man" could achieve under agricultural civilization, yet was ultimately blocked by the iron wall of "kernel inheritability." He was a genius trapped by the "Confucian skin and Legalist bones," an unfulfilled Duke of Zhou.
