摘　　要：最高政治权力如何转移,在古代传统文明的不同地域大多以世袭制为其基本方式。古代中国王权的转移也是采取这种制度,但与此同时还有一种所谓的"禅让制",这种说法不仅见之于传世的战国子学文献中,又见之于新出土的郭店楚简《唐虞之道》中。根据这一文献,并结合传世文献,称之为"禅让"的远古王权转移方式,同时还伴随着诸如咨询和推举、机会、退休等多重因素的影响。由此来看,"禅而不传"显然是简化和理想化的说法。The transfer of supreme power was realized by hereditary succession as the basic means in ancient traditional civilizations in different regions of the world. In ancient China, the transfer of royal power also followed this rule but a different rule, namely, the so-called demise rule, once occurred in history. The legend was recorded not only in existing classical works in times of the Warring Kingdoms but also in The Tangyu Way of the bamboo slips of the kingdom of Chu unearthed in Guodian. An investigation of this source with reference to other existing classics shows that the transfer of royal power in ancient times was accompanied with other multiple elements, such as consulting, electing, opportunity, retirement, etc. From this, it seems an obviously simplified and idealized legend that ＂the royal power was demised but not succeeded＂.
