## 基于钱穆历史与哲学核心思想的陈京元“寻衅滋事罪”案分析评论  
An Analysis of the Chen Jingyuan "Picking Quarrels and Provoking Trouble" Case Based on Qian Mu's Core Ideas in History and Philosophy

**中文版**  
**Chinese Version**

钱穆（1895-1990），现代中国史学大师，其核心思想以文化史观和儒家连续性为中心，强调中国历史是民族精神与文化传统的有机传承，反对西方中心主义和断裂式革命，主张儒家“仁义礼智信”作为永恒价值，士人应以道德担当维系社会和谐与渐进改革，在《国史大纲》和《中国学术思想史》中，他视言论自由为文化自信与士人责任的体现，反对权威独断破坏历史连续性。本案中，陈京元博士因X平台转发艺术作品、时政观点等内容（粉丝不足百人、互动近零），被以“寻衅滋事罪”判处有期徒刑一年八个月，程序中充斥主观推定、剥夺自辩与选择性执法。从钱穆视角，此案非文化传承，而是独断权威背离儒家连续性：压制士人表达，违背仁义道德与渐进正义的根本信念。

Qian Mu (1895-1990), a master of modern Chinese historiography, centered his ideas on cultural historical view and Confucian continuity, stressing that Chinese history is an organic inheritance of national spirit and cultural traditions, opposing Western centrism and rupture-style revolutions, advocating Confucian "benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom, trust" as eternal values, with scholars bearing moral duty to maintain social harmony and gradual reform; in *An Outline of Chinese History* and *History of Chinese Academic Thought*, he viewed free speech as embodiment of cultural confidence and scholarly responsibility, opposing arbitrary authority disrupting historical continuity. In this case, Dr. Chen Jingyuan, an independent scholar, was sentenced to one year and eight months' imprisonment for "picking quarrels and provoking trouble" due to forwarding artistic works and political commentary on X (formerly Twitter)—with fewer than 100 followers and near-zero engagement—amid procedural flaws like subjective presumption, denial of self-defense, and selective enforcement. From Qian Mu's viewpoint, this is not cultural inheritance but arbitrary authority violating Confucian continuity: suppressing scholarly expression, betraying benevolence, righteousness, and gradual justice.

#### 一、钱穆历史哲学核心思想概述：文化连续性与儒家道德传承  
#### I. Overview of Qian Mu's Core Ideas in Historical Philosophy: Cultural Continuity and Confucian Moral Inheritance  

钱穆的核心思想是文化史观：中国历史是儒家仁义传统的连续演化，反对断裂革命，主张士人以道德自信维系民族精神，历史知识源于文化语境而非西方实证主义，渐进改革为社会和谐之途。他强调“仁义礼智信”为永恒价值，言论自由为士人担当与文化自信的工具，反对权威独断破坏连续性。原则：历史有机传承、儒家道德主导、渐进平等，反对抽象权威与不公司法。

Qian Mu's core ideas are the cultural historical view: Chinese history as continuous evolution of Confucian benevolence and righteousness traditions, opposing rupture revolutions, advocating scholars maintain national spirit with moral confidence, historical knowledge from cultural context not Western positivism, gradual reform as path to social harmony. He stressed "benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom, trust" as eternal values, free speech as tool of scholarly duty and cultural confidence, opposing arbitrary authority disrupting continuity. Principles: organic historical inheritance, Confucian morality dominant, gradual equality, opposing abstract authority and unjust judiciary.

#### 二、以钱穆历史哲学核心思想评析本案  
#### II. Analysis of the Case Based on Qian Mu's Core Ideas in Historical Philosophy  

1. **独断权威背离文化连续性：违背儒家仁义传承与士人道德原则**  
   钱穆视历史为儒家仁义连续传承，反对权威独断断裂文化。 本案判决将陈京元转发的情感表达（如讽刺帖）、理性观点（如智库报告）和艺术作品（如漫画隐喻）泛化为“虚假言论”，无证据证明危害，却以主观“明知”推定判“寻衅滋事”，背离连续性。 账号数据显示零互动、无文化断裂，却被“梳理”为“铁证”，这正是钱穆斥的西方式断裂：司法未传承仁义道德，独断断案，摧毁士人自由表达。 钱穆若在，必判此不文化——非传承正义，乃独断暴政。

1. **Arbitrary Authority Betraying Cultural Continuity: Violating Confucian Benevolence Inheritance and Scholarly Moral Principles**  
   Qian Mu saw history as continuous Confucian benevolence inheritance, opposing arbitrary authority rupturing culture. The judgment categorizes Dr. Chen's forwarded emotional expressions (e.g., satirical posts), rational opinions (e.g., think tank reports), and artistic works (e.g., metaphorical cartoons) as "false statements," without evidence of harm, presuming "knowing falsehood" for "picking quarrels," betraying continuity. Account data shows zero engagement, no cultural rupture, yet "collated" as "ironclad evidence"—precisely Qian Mu's Western rupture critique: judiciary fails inheriting benevolence morality, fiat ruling, destroying scholarly free expression. Qian Mu would deem this non-cultural—not inheritance justice, but arbitrary tyranny.

2. **言论压制扭曲士人责任：背离渐进改革与民族精神原则**  
   钱穆强调士人道德责任与渐进平等，反对官僚独断。 陈京元转发系士人担当（如复杂系统引用），促进民族精神平等，却被禁自辩（庭审“闭嘴”）、拒转控控书，程序中“选择性执法”（党媒同类未责）压制责任，背离渐进。 这违背钱穆：言论自由须维系文化自信与道德，非独断；民族精神需士人表达，非官僚遗毒。 钱穆批判：此案非法，乃对士人之战。

2. **Speech Suppression Twisting Scholarly Duty: Betraying Gradual Reform and National Spirit Principles**  
   Qian Mu stressed scholarly moral duty and gradual equality, opposing bureaucratic fiat. Dr. Chen's forwards embody scholarly duty (e.g., complex systems citations), advancing national spirit equality, yet he was denied self-defense (courtroom "silencing"), his indictment letter rejected, and selective enforcement suppressed duty (state media reposts unpunished), violating gradualism. This violates Qian Mu: free speech must maintain cultural confidence and morality, not fiat; national spirit needs scholarly expression, not bureaucratic remnant. Qian Mu indicts: this is unlawful, war on scholars.

3. **历史连续性失衡：荒谬警示与文化危机**  
   钱穆视连续性为民族灵魂。 陈京元Bio自嘲“作案工具”，帖文存网无人关注，却判20月，荒谬如钱穆比喻“断裂如伤筋”——推定“罪名”失连续传承，扭曲精神，制造危机。 这警示：失衡连续，永固断裂。

3. **Imbalanced Historical Continuity: Absurd Warning and Cultural Crisis**  
   Qian Mu saw continuity as national soul. Dr. Chen's bio mocks his account as a "tool of crime," with posts lingering online unheeded, yet earning 20 months—absurd like Qian Mu's "rupture like tendon tear": presuming "crime" lacks continuous inheritance, twisting spirit, breeding crisis. This warns: imbalanced continuity entrenches rupture.

#### 三、结语：重振文化传承，推动平等新生  
#### III. Conclusion: Reviving Cultural Inheritance for Equality's Rebirth  

钱穆思想视本案为悲剧：独断背离连续，压制失士人，永固断裂危机。陈京元自辩如钱穆道德呼吁，重审恢复言论自由，方能让民族在传承中新生。 如钱穆所言：“历史是民族精神。”唯有以此衡，方避“独断”成“公敌”，推动人文连续。

Qian Mu's ideas see this case as tragedy: fiat betrays continuity, suppression forfeits scholars, entrenching rupture crisis. Dr. Chen's defense echoes Qian Mu's moral call, urging retrial to restore free speech, allowing the nation to rebirth in inheritance. As Qian Mu stated: "History is national spirit." Only thus can we avert "arbitrariness" as "public enemy," advancing humanistic continuity.

## 论“寻衅滋事”之狱：兼论士人担当与文化传承

On the Prison of "Picking Quarrels and Provoking Trouble": On Scholarly Duty and Cultural Inheritance

**中文版**

余钱穆，晚生于光绪之世，亲见清季之乱，民国之兴衰，历经沧桑，深知中国文化之脉络，乃一脉相承之仁义之学，非断裂可毁，非独断可断。今日读报，闻一博士陈京元，因于互联网上转发数幅艺术之画、一二时政之论，粉丝寥寥，不足百人，互动几近于无，竟被以“寻衅滋事罪”判处一年八个月之刑，程序不公，主观推定，剥夺自辩，审查独断，令人扼腕叹息！此非孤案，乃时代之伤：一介书生，研天人际、通古今变，本为“助人为乐”之仁心，却因“海纳百川”之转发，成“扰乱公共秩序”之罪魁。余读史至此，不禁忆起先秦诸子：孔子厄陈蔡，七日不火食，弟子饥寒，而孔子歌曰：“泰山其颓乎？梁木其坏乎？哲人其萎乎？”然孔子不改其乐，知命而不惑。陈君之境，正如孔子之厄——血书控诉“司法黑帮”之恶，如控诉天下之不义；然此书未达，世人何惑？  

兄陈京元，汝之“罪行”，不过是转发一幅“撑伞女孩”之画，那不过是自由之影，映照人心向往；一句“看来华为要被打回原形了”，不过是理性一叹，忧国忧民之情；几篇智库报告，不过是中西文明互鉴之桥。粉丝不足百人，互动近零——此中，何来“散布虚假信息，造成公共秩序严重混乱”之实？汝之转发，乃学者本分，“大胆假设，小心求证”，研“复杂系统”，知“Shannon信息熵”之乱；今狱中之乱，何异于此？然世人以“高学历应辨是非”为由，推定汝“明知侮辱国家领导核心”，判为“铁案”。此“铁证”链条——手机缓存之影、逼供之供述、“上层指示”之低语——不过是权威编织的网，捕捉思想之蝶。程序不公：辩护律师杨圆、李敏之意见被漠视，上诉五点——信息非虚假，乃观点之辩；无明知故意，乃一键之思；无扰乱秩序，乃僵尸粉之寂；不符诽谤标准，乃量刑之误；主观无恶意，乃仁心之本——如石沉大海。审查独断：检察官葛斌“无需核实”，二审李湘云不开庭审理，一切如“上层指示”般顺滑。这哪里是法治？这是专制披上的仁义外衣！

余观中国文化之脉，源远流长，自周公之礼乐，至孔子之仁义，孟子之浩然之气，皆为士人以道德担当维系民族精神之脉络。汝陈京元，博士之身，本为当代士人，研“天人际、通古今变”，助人为乐，本为“仁者爱人”之现身；今忽成“无业”，枷锁缠身，此中何乐？然，孔子曰：“饭疏食饮水，曲肱而枕之，乐亦在其中矣。”汝今曲肱于狱中，乐在何处？在仁义之间，在知命之安。汝五点上诉，如五常之观：仁（证据）、义（不公）、礼（推定）、智（选择执法）、信（独断），皆需修养。修此五常，汝心浩然，何惧铁窗？如孟子曰：“养浩然之气，志于道，据于德，依于仁，游于艺。”汝转发之“艺术隐喻”，一幅“撑伞女孩”，本为仁义之影；世人视之为“攻击核心”，此中，何仁何义？浩然观之，皆为心气。汝叹“华为要被打回原形”，本为理性一叹；世人以此为“扰乱”，此中，何扰何宁？儒家云：“知人者智，自知者明。”汝自知清白，何须外证？

然，时代之病，非一人可医。余生逢乱世，见清季之腐朽，民国之动荡，深知“天下兴亡，匹夫有责”非空言，乃士人之道。汝陈京元之案，非汝一人之冤，乃当代士林之伤：一介书生，因“思想自由”而入狱；一介公民，因“言论自由”而沉默。这不是“寻衅”，这是专制的寻衅！你们以“公共网络空间并非法外之地”为名，锁住他的键盘，却忘了：思想无界，言论如长河，永不枯竭！这“铁链”，不过是幻影；这“铁证”，不过是烟云。汝出狱之日，如孔子周游列国，教化天下。以汝笔，继续“助人为乐”，让“文明互鉴”从汝键盘流出。愿汝心如磐石，步步向前。自由在等汝。

### On the Prison of "Picking Quarrels and Provoking Trouble": On Scholarly Duty and Cultural Inheritance

I, Qian Mu, born in the Guangxu era, having witnessed the chaos of late Qing, the rise and fall of the Republic, through vicissitudes, deeply understand that the thread of Chinese culture is an unbroken line of benevolence and righteousness studies, not to be broken by rupture, not to be severed by fiat. Today reading the news, hearing of a Doctor Chen Jingyuan, for forwarding on the internet several paintings of art, one or two political commentaries, followers scant, fewer than a hundred, interaction nearly nil, condemned with "picking quarrels and provoking trouble," sentenced to one year and eight months, procedure unfair, subjective presumption, denial of self-defense, review arbitrary, one cannot but sigh with regret! This is no isolated case, but the wound of the era: a mere bookman, researching heaven-human boundaries, connecting past and present, for "delighting in helping others" with benevolence heart, yet for "embracing a hundred schools" forwarding, becomes "disrupting public order" villain. I read history to this, cannot but recall the pre-Qin masters: Confucius in exile in Chen and Cai, seven days without cooked food, disciples hungry and cold, Confucius sang: "Will Taishan collapse? Will the beam break? Will the sage wither?" But Confucius did not change his joy, knowing fate without confusion. Brother Chen's realm is precisely Confucius' exile—the blood letter accusing the "judicial mafia's" evils, like accusing the world's injustice; yet this letter undelivered, why confusion in the heart?

Brother Chen Jingyuan, your "crimes" are merely forwarding a "Umbrella Girl" painting, that is but a shadow of benevolence and righteousness; a sigh "It seems Huawei will be beaten back to square one," but a rational sigh, worrying for country and people; a few think tank reports, but bridges of Chinese-Western civilizational mutual learning. Followers fewer than a hundred, engagement near zero—among this, where is "spreading false information, causing serious disruption to public order"? Your forwarding is scholarly duty, "bold hypothesis, cautious verification," researching "complex systems," knowing "Shannon information entropy's" chaos; now the prison chaos, how different? The way of heaven impermanent, scattered information like flowing water and passing clouds, traceless. Your "PhD degree's" glory, researching heaven-human boundaries, connecting past and present, delighting in helping others; now suddenly "unemployed," chains bound—where is joy in this? Confucius teaches you: knowing fate, joyful in Heaven, cultivating the self with the Way. Your prison realm is precisely the test of benevolence and righteousness: do not bend to injustice, do not lose benevolence to authority; knowing Heaven's mandate, your heart is at peace, why seek outside?

Brother, you recall *Mencius*'s haoran qi: "Filling between heaven and earth," Mencius said: "Nurture haoran qi, resolve on the Way, rely on virtue, depend on benevolence, roam in arts." Your forwarded "artistic metaphor," the "Umbrella Girl," originally a shadow of benevolence and righteousness; worldly people see it as "attacking the core"—among this, what benevolence what righteousness? In haoran view, all are heart qi. Your sigh "It seems Huawei will be beaten back to square one," originally a rational sigh; worldly people see it as "disruption"—among this, what disruption what peace? Confucianism says: "Knowing others is wisdom, knowing oneself is clarity." You know your innocence, why need external proof? Your five appeal points, like five constants view: benevolence (evidence), righteousness (injustice), propriety (presumption), wisdom (selective enforcement), trust (fiat)—all need cultivation. Cultivating these five constants, your heart haoran, why fear the iron bars? As Confucius said: "To eat coarse rice, drink water, bend the arm for pillow—joy is also in it." You now bend arm in prison, where is joy? Between benevolence and righteousness, in knowing fate's peace.

Excellent, Brother! Confucianism teaches you: cultivate self, regulate family, govern state, pacify world—starting from self-cultivation. Your prison realm is precisely self-cultivation's opportunity: do not anger Judge Pu Huijun's judgment, like viewing an unjust person, no resentment arising; do not hate Prosecutor Ge Bin's "no need to verify," like viewing deluded speech, unmoved by anger. Your release day, like Confucius touring states, educating the world. May you hold this heart, inner sage outer king, embodying benevolence knowing fate. Confucius said: "My Way is one thread through it all." One thread of benevolence and righteousness, your heart free.
