| Summary: | 碩士 === 臺北市立教育大學 === 中國語文學系碩士班 === 96 === “Mencius” has played a very important role in Confucia traditions and scholarship, which further enhances all ranges of Confucianism, such as its theory and morality philosophy, and accordingly adds depth and enrichedness to the ideology of Confucianism. Before Song dynasty, Mencius was considered a hidden study. However, with the full support and advocacy from Song scholars, Mencuis had then based itself in Chinese scholarship history. Different sects were thus prevailingly developed from Mencius. Having gone through trials from Song, Yan to Ming dynasties, Mencius reached its peak in Ching dynasty. This study is to discuss the accomplishments and researches on Mencius and to analyze the value and symbol of Mencius, and then observe the influences it had brought to the study of Jing Xue during Ming and Ching dynasty
There are three sections in this study to generalize the past studies on Mencius: First on the discussion of whether the change of scholarship tendency between late Ming and early Ching affected the study of Mencius. The second section concludes and generalizes the perspectives and principles of different works written about Mencius by scholars in early Ching dynasty. The third section summarizes the results gathered in the second part to point out the influence Mencius had brought to Chinese scholarship history and to identify the value and significance of its existence.
