The Academic Status Of Jixia Scholars' Writings In The Catalogue Of Each Dynasty

Qin dynasty is the childhood of Chinese philosophy, the scene of "contenting of a hundred schools of thought" come into being in the warring states period over 2,200 years ago bring the academic of Qin dynasty to its peak and became the herbal of Chinese academic development in the following dynasty. Scholars then after take this grander period of time as the ideal environments for philosophy to develop freely and the various schools of thought and their exponents such as Lao zi and Confucius about 2,400 years ago became the apotheosis of philosophy. If the vassal countries in the spring and autumn period 2,500 years ago formed a excellent platform for academic development, then the schools of Jixia scholars became the most important one of it. Different schools and thoughts unprecedented form a overwhelming hurricane of philosophy. The scholars of Jixia schools not only discuss national issues and supply consulted opinion, training talents, recommending officials and create political public opinions for government of vassal Qi, but also attract scholars of the whole country come to vassal Qi where they can publicize their thoughts by teaching and writing while at the same time contending it with other scholars. The scholar and philosophy of Jixia schools leave us a rare treasure of culture. It is on this consideration, special research of Jixia scholars and philosophy has come into being and made great achievements recently, which put the study on this aspect to a new height. But seldom has been done on how to look at Jixia scholars and philosophy from a philological angle. So I'd like to do some research on the scholars and philosophy of Jixia schools from this angle together with catalogue and edition research methods.
