The Evolution Of "Zuo School" Between Han And Ji

"Zuo Zhuan" is one of the important classics of Confucianism.To some extent,"Zuo Zhuan" gradually formed a special study of classics--"Zuo’s Theory" during its long spread from its completion to the end of the Western Han Dynasty.With the succession of dynasties,"Zuo’s Theory" also spread and changed,especially in the special historical stage between Han and Jin dynasties,"Zuo’s Theory" highlights the characteristics different from the previous dynasties and even the descendants.Between Han and Jin dynasties,namely Emperor Ling of Han ascended the throne to the end of the Western Jin Dynasty.In this period of history,"Zuo Zhuan",as a study of ancient literature and classics,was more and more applied to politics,which was mainly manifested in the political aspects of imperial edicts,inscriptions,dialogues between Kings and ministers and words between ministers.In the official school,the imperial school established "Zuo Zhuan" doctor,standing in the imperial school Zhengshi stone engraved "Zuo Zhuan" content.With the establishment of the official academic status of "Zuo Zhuan" and the widespread political references,"Zuo Zhuan" has more and more influence in the political society,and its position in the official school is more and more stable.More importantly,"Zuo’s Theory" between Han and Jin dynasties is stronger than that of the two Han Dynasties before Emperor Ling ascended the throne.The study of "Zuo Zhuan" by scholars in the Han and Jin dynasties has broken the situation of the study of the Jingwen classics attached to the Han and Han Dynasties,but based on "Zuo Zhuan" itself,to elucidate its meaning or explain the meaning of "Chun Qiu",and further explore the implied meaning of "Zuo Zhuan".At the same time,more explanatory notes and writings appeared in this period to explain "Zuo Zhuan".With the increasing influence of Zuo Zhuan’s political citation and the further advancement of academic research,it was not only passed on by scholars to study classics;The supreme rulers of the country,civil officials at all levels,military commanders and even ordinary people have appeared to study "Zuo Zhuan",or even in daily life there is a phenomenon of quoting "Zuo Zhuan"."Zuo Zhuan" can be said to be widely spread to all levels of society between the Han and Jin dynasties.Between Han and Jin dynasties,the study of "Zuo Zhuan" broke through the tradition of adhering to the teacher’s method,but did not form a clear and systematic system of transmission.The important reason is that in the late Han Dynasty,the emerging power of big families emerged.In Wei and Jin dynasties,big families prospered,and the emerging power brought cultural changes.The transmission of "Zuo Zhuan" between Han and Jin Dynasties thus showed the characteristics of family,some influential families,such as Zhong’s family in Changshe,Zhuge’s family in Langya,Wang’s family in Donghai,Du’s family in Jingzhao,Xun’s family in Yingchuan,Yuan’s family in Runan and Yin’s family in Zitong,all inherited "Zuo Zhuan".The evolution of "Zuo’s Theory" between the Han and Jin dynasties was characterized by more and more political references,more and more popular inheritance of scholars,gradually moving down to the civil society,more stable status of official learning,stronger academic research,and more and more common family,which deeply influenced the later generations of "Zuo’s Theory".Its academic achievements have a certain impact on the study of later generations of "Zuo Zhuan",which is mainly reflected in the official study,that is,the establishment and consolidation of the official study status of Wei and Jin Dynasties laid the tone for the position of later generations of "Zuo Zhuan" in the pattern of "Chun Qiu".
