Abstract This study considers Xunzi's criticism of Zisi, Confucius' grandson, providing a detailed analysis of some of the most famous but also difficult passages in the Xunzi. By drawing on the newly excavated text, “Wuxing” (The five conducts), the study shows that not only did Xunzi have an intimate knowledge of Zisi's teachings, but in fact he had available to him a certain version of the “Wuxing.” This understanding makes it possible to evaluate Xunzi's role as a reporter of Zisi's teachings, and to the extent that Xunzi reported these teachings fairly and accurately, the study offers specific suggestions for reimagining a period that has been little understood in Early Chinese intellectual history, or the transition from Confucius to Mencius. 摘要 本論文探討荀子在《解敝》、《不苟》、《非十二子》等幾段文字中，針對孔子孫亦即子思所作的評論。通過新出土《五行》與上述幾段文字的對讀，本文指出，荀子不僅相當熟悉子思的學說，他甚至接觸過《五行》的文本。這樣的理解可以幫助我們評估荀子評論的忠實性與可靠性，同時提供線索重新想像從孔子到孟子、先秦思想史十分模糊的一個過渡時期。
