摘　　要：本文分析"三皇五帝"和"六帝"概念的内在意义。笔者一方面并不否定三皇五帝的传说是从深古往事的种子长出来的,隐含着源自远古的文化记忆,但在另一方面笔者认为,"三皇五帝"这一结构并不能代表古代历史,这是基于象数宇宙观而建构的帝国历史哲学,不宜将之视为历史叙述来读。此外,秦汉帝国以前流行的"六帝"概念与"三皇五帝"有源流关系。这些关系牵涉到象数思想中"尚六"与"尚三五"概念的传承及转变。The present paper examines the profound meanings embedded in the conceptual cluster consisting of Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors and Six Emperors.The concepts are,however,not genuine historical narratives but the products of the imperial philosophy of history that is based on the cosmic numerology.In addition,the present paper points out that the concept of Six Emperors prevailing in the pre-imperial China was actually one of intellectual origins of Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors rising to prominence in the Qin and the Han empires.Such a close relationship of the two concepts demonstrates there are both succession and transmutation between the cult of the Six and the veneration of the Three and Five in the cosmic numerology.
