The Study Of The History Of The Confucian Classics By Zhou Yutong During The Republic Of China

Zhou Yutong was the creator of the discipline of Chinese history of economics.After his May 4th Movement,he devoted himself to the study of the history of classics and his writings were quite rich.His works such as"Pi Xirui's"History of the Study of the History"and"The Classics of the Ancient Times"are all must-read books in the history of Chinese classics,and are also the intent of the study of the history of modern classics.It has an extraordinary topology and foundational significance for the study of the history of the Republic of China,the study of academic history and even the modern academic circles.Zhou Yutong's academic career has changed before and after the founding of New China,and most of the research results in the history of the history of the Confucian classics were concentrated in the Republic of China.Even the establishment of the discipline of Chinese classics after the founding of New China was based on the research results at this time.The foundation has evolved.Under the influence of the teacher Qian Xuantong,Zhou Yutong,a young man from the "May 4th",joined the new generation of scholars such as Gu Jiegang in the wave of the new cultural movement,and devoted himself to the wave of study of the history of the classics.Zhou Yutong determined to "eliminate the classics" and advocated that "the six classics are historical materials",hoping to replace the traditional and backward study of Confucian classics with the scientific study of the history of the classics,and finally achieve the academic turn of "turning the history into history".Zhou Yutong re-architected the study of Confucian classics with the concept of "new historiography".He studied the basic concepts of the history of the classics,the problems of staging,the problems of the school,the problems of the characters,and the relationship between thehistory and history,and made a prudent judgment based on history.During the period of the Republic of China,Zhou Yutong's study of the history of the study of science was based on education.The main method of "using the interpretation of the classics" was to try to describe the history of the classics and the relatively simple and popular way of modern history.Although it ignores the external influences in the development of the history of the classics,it still does not hide.Combined with the study of his history,Zhou Yutong and his study of the history of the classics are the monuments in the field of the study of the history of the classics.Investigating Zhou Yutong's study of the history of the Confucian classics during the Republic of China is not only a further excavation of Zhou Yutong's research,but also a trace of the roots of the study of the history of the Confucian classics.It is also a timely reflection of a series of traditional issues such as the modernization of the classics.
