The Study Of Zhoulishu’s Citation By Jia Gongyan

Jia Gongyan’s Zhoulishu is an important book of the ritual study,which interprets Zhouli and Zheng Xuan’s annotations.It is also a well-preserved book of Zhouli study and a work of Yi Shu Ti from the Southern and Northern Dynasties to the Tang Dynasty.Jia Gongyan’s Zhoulishu cites a lot of literature for unchoking the confucian classics and annotations or proving his own theories,which is the cornerstone of Jia’s theories.In Zhou Lishu,Jia’s quotations are abundant,with a total of 6,254 ancient documents,covering the fields of Confucian classics,History,Zi and Ji.As far as the times are concerned,the documents from Pre-Qin to Wei,Jin,Southern and Northern Dynasties are all involved,among which the works of confucian classics and annotations in the Han Dynasty are more inclined.As far as the types of classics are concerned,they are more inclined to Thirteen confucian classics and their annotated works.On this basis,they are more inclined to "ritual" and "Zhou li",which are closely related to the purpose and content of Jia’s citation.In terms of citation methods,it is mainly analyzed from two aspects: the content of citation whether to rewrite and the form of citation.As far as the content of citations is concerned,Jia adopts the more common methods of "original citation" and "rewriting citation".Among them,the number of documents cited in "original text citation" and the rewritten literature are comparable,while the literature of "rewritten citation" mainly adopts "deletion","addition","change" and "transfer",these four rewriting methods are less single,mainly reflected in different types of comprehensive use.In addition,there are more short words that Jia uses to summarize the cited literature according to his own wishes.As far as the form of citation is concerned,it is mainly classified according to the type of source of the document,which can be roughly divided into four forms,namely,"the title of the classic and the article are indicated","only the title of the article is noted,the name of the classic book is not noted","only the title of the classic book,the title of the article is not noted","the title of the classic book and the title of the article are not noted".Among the cited documents,the first form of citation is less used and is mainly reflected in the citation of the scriptures of the Li Ji and Shang Shu,while the citation form adopted by Jia’s citation literature is mainly reflected in the latter three.As for the purpose of citation,unchoking the confucian classics and annotations is the main purpose of Jia Gongyan’s citation,which focuses on unchoking the meaning of confucian classics and Zheng.It can be divided into the explanation of names and things,ritual system and words,as well as the clarification of doubts such as "the same scripture but different annotations" and "the same names but different officials ".On the basis of "unchoking the confucian classics and annotations",Jia also quote the contents of other scripture for comparison with the related contents of Zheng’s annotations,and also quote the literature to "summarize ritual examples",which can have the effect of highlighting the outline.In addition,there are the four purposes of "citing his theories","pointing out the shortcomings of Zheng’s ideas","demonstrating the purpose of Zheng Xuan’s quotations","refuting others’ theories and affirming Zheng’s theories".On the characteristics of citation,there are four characteristics: attach importance to quoting the three ritual and the annotations of the three ritual,attach importance to quoting the confucian classics and annotations together,giving priority to Zheng Xuan,quoting the same confucian classics many times.Among them,"attach importance to quoting the three ritual and the annotations of the three ritual" is mainly manifested in quoting the three ritual and the annotations of the three ritual to supplement the details of etiquette and ritual system,or quote the same type of "ritual" for analogy,or explain the connotation of the ritual."Attach importance to quoting the confucian classics and annotations together" refers to quoting the Thirteen Classics and more annotations of the Thirteen Classics together.In the quoting techniques,quoting the confucian classics and annotations together more reflected,combination of confucian classics and annotations can supply the contents explained in a timely manner,and it means progressive,interlocking and supporting Jia’s theories."Quoting the same confucian classics many times" is used to interpret what has something in common.In terms of citation value and deficiency,the literature cited by Jia’s Zhou Lishu has the collation value of "error correction" and "version reference",which can not only correct the existing literature,but also help future generations to revise error and compare the versions.For the lost documents,it is of great value to preserve and supplement some of them.However,most of Jia Gongyan’s quotations have been compiled by editors,and there are still a few documents that have not yet been compiled,which are still worthy of textual research and discussion by later scholars.However,the source of the cited documents in Jia Gongyan is unknown or the cited documents are wrong,the value of the cited documents will be reduced,but the defects will not hide the jade.Generally speaking,the value of collating,preserving and supplementing the cited documents in Jia Gongyan is great,which is worthy of recognition.Therefore,the cited documents in Zhou lishu by Jia Gongyan are also worth studying.
