The Collation On ShangShuZheng Yi Of Ruan’s Block-printed Edition

ShangShuZhengYi(the commentary and subcommentary of ShangShu), the edition was pressed by Ruan Yuan, is a part of ShiSanJingZhuShu(the commentary and subcommentary of the Thirteen Confuciuan Classics), which is recognized as the best version, and spreads very broadly. Ruan’s block-printed edition was published by Nanchang Government Edition of Jiangxi province in the 21st year of Jiaqing Period in Qing Dynasty. Through Zhu Hualin’s collation in the 6th year of Dao guang Period and the revision of Jiangxi Press in the 12th year of Tongzhi Period, this edition was greatly improved and became popular from then on. And during the process of spreading, Ruan’s edition developed into three different systems based on Nanchang Government Edition, collating edition of Dao Guang Period and revising edition of Jiangxi Press. Through the comprehensive comparison of the three spreading systems, it can be indicated that the edition of Jiangxi Press is the best. The versions without Ruan’s block-printed edition which benifited from printing of ancient books are circulating in the world. These not only provide many versions, such as the version of Imperial Household Agency, the Eight Line, Hall of Martial Valor and so on, to this collation, but also we can discover many more valuable different words. That’s a great help to collation on ShangShuZhengYi of Ruan’s block-printed edition.Based on ShangShuZhengYi published by China Press in 1980, the thesis completely collates the revising edition of Nanchang Government, Jiangxi Press, Imperial Household Agency, the Eight Line, Min, Siku, Jiaye Tang, and refers to the edition of Ten Line of Yuan Dynasty, Imperial College, Mao, Hall of Martial Valor, Guangdong Press, Zunjing Pavilion, and the available block-printed edition of Ruan. Then the notes of collation is classified and the important points are chosen to modify the inappropriate notation existed in ShangShuZhengYi published by China Press, and the types and reasons of the errors existed in the edition of China Press are preliminary summarized. Thus some reference is provided for the usage of Ruan’s edition and classical literature.
