The rectification of names (Chinese: 正名; pinyin: Zhèngmíng; Wade–Giles: Cheng-ming) is originally a doctrine of feudal Confucian designations and relationships, behaving accordingly to ensure social harmony. Without such accordance society would essentially crumble and "undertakings would not be completed." Mencius extended the doctrine to include questions of political legitimacy. When Confucius was asked what he would do if he was a governor, he said he would "rectify the names" to make words correspond to reality.

  • 正名,指對一個事物,採用正當合理的名稱。正名一詞源出於儒家經典《論語》之中。子曰:「名不正,則言不順;言不順則事不成」。意思就是說,要做成一件事情,必須先有一個正當合理的和,這樣事情才能講得通,才有辦法產生正面的號召,進而把事情做好。反之,如果名義不正當,就無法自圓其說,只能強詞奪理,事情都講不通了,當然也就辦不成了。原意是在勸告所有的人,做事情前要想清楚,要做符合禮法的事情,不要做背逆禮法的事情。 正名的基本含義,是讓事物的名和本來面目匹配,達到名實相符,做到符合正義。孔子明春秋大義,奉正朔,用周天子春秋而非諸侯春秋;正,吳、楚君自稱「王」,而春秋稱之曰「子」;齊、晉雖強,仍稱曰「侯」;宋、魯雖弱,仍稱曰「公」,這便是正名的原旨。 (zh)

dbp:text
  • A superior man, in regard to what he does not know, shows a cautious reserve. If names be not correct, language is not in accordance with the truth of things. If language be not in accordance with the truth of things, affairs cannot be carried on to success. When affairs cannot be carried on to success, proprieties and music do not flourish. When proprieties and music do not flourish, punishments will not be properly awarded. When punishments are not properly awarded, the people do not know how to move hand or foot. Therefore a superior man considers it necessary that the names he uses may be spoken appropriately, and also that what he speaks may be carried out appropriately. What the superior man requires is just that in his words there may be nothing incorrect. (en)
  • Nets are for catching fish; after one gets the fish, one forgets the net. Traps are for catching rabbits; after one gets the rabbit, one forgets the trap. Words are for getting meaning; after one gets the meaning, one forgets the words. Where can I find people who have forgotten words, and have a word with them? (en)
