History Of Shi-jing Learning From Late Ming To Early Qing Dynasty

This paper studies the profiles of Shi Jing Learning(???)during Wanli thirty-three years(1605) of Ming dynasty to Yongzheng five yeas(1727) of Qing dynasty. My study seek to reveal the stylistic changes of Shi Jing books and the relationship of scholars, based on that I can further to show the philologia perennis and academic features. I wish to explain how and why that the interests of Kaoju Xue (evidential research studies???)and Han Learning happened. The dissertation is constructed in five parts.Chapter I analyses the background of Shi Jing Learning from late Ming to early Qing dynasty and shows that the scholars constantly discussed Zhu Zi Learning (? ??) in Ming dynasty. With the development of society and economy, especially the growth of Wang Yangming (???)'s theory, academic research appeared significant change that more and more scholars no longer believed Zhu Xi's theory but began to follow Maoshi Xu(???) in the late Ming dynasty. In Jiangsu and other provinces, scholars had flourished in the library and publishing which also promoted the spread and communication of academic. After Qing dynasty, the government strengthened the control of education and ideology. On one hand, it had trained many official scholars that represented the government, on the other hand, it made the scholar lost the rights to explain the classic.In Chapter III choice Hao Jing(??),Feng Fujing(???),He Kai (? ?), Shen Wanke(???) and Cao Xuequan(???) as the representative scholar in late Ming dynasty. Hao Jing returned to the classic text in order to better research the Confucian classics argumentation. He claimed that Maoshi Xu, especially the frist sentences is the oldest classic interpretation. He used the method which named Bi (?) to explain the meaning of Shi Jing. Through studied the name and description of things in the Shi Jing, Feng Fujing found the values of evidential research studies. Based on the previous results, He Kai quoted many materials from Mao Zhuan(??), Zheng Jian (??) and Kong Shu (??) in Shi Jing Shi Ben Gu Yi(??????)that made his book exhibit the characteristics of traditional hermeneutics, and had a profound impact.Chapter III focuses on Qian Chengzhi(???), Zhu Heling(???) and Chen Qiyuan(???)'s Shi Jing Learning. My study shows that Qian Chengzhi and Zhu Heling's academic theories originated from Song dynasty, which made them to interpret Shi Jing with great respect for Zhu Xi. Zhu Heling realized that Zhu Xi's theory of Shi Jing Learning had irreconcilable conflict which must be explained and supplement by quoting viewpoints of Cheng Yi(??),Lv Zuqian(???),Huang Zhen(??),Yan Can(??),Xu Qian(??)and other scholars. However, the purpose of Zhu Heling's book is to explain the meaning of Maoshi Xu which has many contradictions with Zhu Xi. So he had to criticize Zhu Xi's theory. Chen Qiyuan, who was Zhu Heling's best friend, had written a new book to explain Mao Zhuan, Through analysed stylistic rules and deep features of Mao Zhuan, Chen Qiyuan completed a significant study of linguistics and textualism which also has a great impact. Under the recognition of scholars such as Hui Dong (??), Qian Daxin (? ??), Wang Chang (??) and Jiang Sheng (??) during Qianlong years, this book became a typical work on evidential research studies and contributed to profound implications for the growth of Han Learning.Chapter IV discusses argumentation books of Shi Jing Learning in early Qing dynasty. Through systematic analyses on Sun Chengze (???) and Ran Jinzu (? ??)'s research I show that these books which in order to explain and obey the theory of Zhu Xi's Shi Jing Learning had faced difficulties on classic interpretation. On one hand, they had been unable to put forward new theories and meanings. On the other hand, their explanation inevitably used the circular way that made their research was not to be trusted. In the remaining discussion, Wang Fuzh (???) i and Yao Jiheng(???)have been selected for their sublimity and their representative nature. Wang Fuzhi's argumentation of Shi Jing came from an oldest tradition of classic interpretation which had been widely used in Li Ji (??) and Xun Zi (??). And my further study shows that Yao Jiheng had put forward many new explainations of the meaning of Shi Jing by using evidential research methods.Through investigating and analyzing compilers, contents and features, and spreading of books, Chapter V studies on Qin Ding Shi Jing Zhuan Shuo Hui Zuan(??????)in Kangxi years. My studies verify the completion time of Shi Jing Hui Zuan, and research the compilers of this book. My paper shows that as the chief editor, Nalan Kuixu(????)had a close relatonshio with Suzhou scholars. Through analyzing and comparing the contents of Shi Jing Hui Zuan, the paper finds that these were ten comments of this book actually from Fang Bao (??)'s Zhu Zi Shi Yi Bu Zheng(??????)And it also points out that Li Guangdi(???)was an important scholar behind the scenes. At last, by discussing the spread and influence of Shi Jing Hui Zuan in Qing dynasty, my study shows that Fang Yurun(???)'s famous book Shi Jing Yuan Shi(????)had copied many researches from Shi Jing Hui Zuan which reveals anther side of ancient classic studies.
