Abstract: “Li” is the common standard to judge a person and the state during the Spring and Autumn period. In Zuo Zhuan, it is embodied in the large use ofthe concluding words “Li Ye” and “Fei Li Ye”. Zuo Zhuan follows the principle of “no writing for common things” in judgment, whose scope focuses on people’s business affairs rather than ghosts. Wu and Chu states were put into the same value systems of the central states. The differences of “Li Yi” (morality” and “LI Yi”( etiquette) contained in “Li Ye” and “Fei Li Ye” effectively embodies the conscious exploration of the interior legitimacy and rationality of “Li” during the Spring and Autumn period and sends forth a strong rational color of political practice.

Key words: Li Ye, Fei Li Ye, Zuo Zhuan

摘要： “礼”为春秋时代评判个人、国家等行为主体的通行标准，在《左传》中即体现为“礼也”“非礼也”断语的大量使用。《左传》以“礼”进行评判时遵循“常事不书”的原则，评判范围以人事中的政事为主而鬼神之事较少，吴、楚等国已纳入与中原诸国相同的价值评判体系中。“礼也”“非礼也”中所包含的“礼义”与“礼仪”之分，体现了春秋时代对于“礼”内在正当性、合理性的自觉探索，散发着强烈的政治实践理性色彩。
