康有為「三世說」的各種模式，學界諸多論述，皆聚焦在康有為「三世說」具象描繪的社會項目上。鑑於前人論述已詳，有關康有為「三世說」之品項，並非本文討論之目的；本文從《公羊》學傳統的解經脈絡，分析《公羊傳》、董、何三者對於「三世」這一論題的看法，從而確定康有為「三世」觀點所論之「文明進化」、「時勢遞演」等特質，其「核心價值」歸本於孔子所論之「仁」，康有為以「仁」的履行層次，作為判讀「三世」層級的標準，既呼應清中葉以降，今文學家秉持《論語》為群經解釋基礎的學術現象，又開擘出康有為獨特創新的《公羊》學主張，終而使康氏所論之「三世」強調「口說」，擺脫《公羊》學傳統，成為「不著文本」的「微言型態」。順此發展，在無須顧慮文本用詞的情況下，康氏之「三世」觀點，最後演變成一種「思緒推演」，既架構出康氏學說「推陳出新」的特質，也使得康氏立論，呈現不斷變異的現象；本文在對應於公羊學傳統的同時，藉由康氏「三世」觀點的掌握，試圖對康有為「三世模式」為何難以定說，提供一種與其人學術特質更為相應的詮解方式。

The academic circle has a lot of discussions on every patterns for the “Three Epitomes of Times” of Kang You-wei (康有為), especially focuses on its concrete description for the social item. Because the predecessors have been discussed in detail, this article will not concentrate on the items of the “Three Epitomes of Times”. It would be written from the traditional context of interpretation of Gong-Yang Studies to analyze the views for the subjects in writings of Gong-Yang, Dong Zhong-Shu (董仲舒) and He-Xiu's (何休), from their opinions to deduce the “Evolution of Civilization” , “Gradually Evolution of Current Situation” and others characteristics. Its “core value” belongs to the “Jen” (仁)which Confucius have discussed, and Kang You-wei took its fulfilling level as the standard to interpret the level of “Three Epitomes of Times”, because in this way he could not only respond to the academic phenomenon of using “the Analects of Confucius” to be the various classics'explaining basis which the Present Characters Confucianists upheld from mid Qing Dynasty, but also develop Kang You-wei's unique and innovative standpoint of Gong-Yang Studies, and finally make his “Three Epitomes of Times” to emphasize on the part of “Oral Discussion” and separate from its tradition to be the “Few Words Type” of “No Text”. According to this, in the case of no worry about using words of text, the perspective of subjects about Kang's “Three Epitomes of Times” evolved to be a kind of “Thought Dedution” in the final. It not only organized Kang's theory to have the characteristics of “weeding through the old to bring forth the new”, but also made his viewpoints always change their tune, even show the contradictory phenomenon before and after. This article tries to provide a more corresponding interpreted mode about Kang's academic characteristics to explain why his “Three Epitomes of Times Pattern” was so difficult to be said through the great comprehension of the standpoint of Kang's “Three Epitomes of Times” while comparing to the traditional Gong-Yang Studies.
