摘　　要：古今学者在注疏"礼乐不兴,则刑罚不中"章之际着墨不多,分歧也不显著,然而通常的解释让人颇觉难以理解。联系孔子此言的具体语境以及相关文字在春秋时期的用法进行深入考察可知,"礼乐不兴,则刑罚不中"章实际上指一国之君得位不正以后很可能要出现的以其为核心的礼乐秩序无法建立,故而滥用刑罚以维护其统治的状态。孔子这段话不仅符合卫国当时的情形,也有助于人们从一个侧面洞悉古代王朝衰亡之规律。Ancient and modern scholars rarely comment on 'Ritual system can not rise, the penalty can not be properly', diff erences are not signifi cant. However, the common interpretation is confused. Connect the specific context and vocabulary using during the Spring and Autumn Period, 'Ritual system can not rise, the penalty can not be properly' reflected the situation which the ritual system couldn't set up after the throne was unsuccessful.Therefore, they abused the penalty to maintain the status of the rule. Confucius' s remarks not only confi rmed Wei Country's situation of that time, but also helped people from the side to see the law of dynasty decline.
