Summary: | 碩士 === 世新大學 === 中國文學研究所 === 98 === This paper investigates Liu Shi-pei’s Han-Song academic discussion according to several major trends of thought in the academic history of Qing Dynasty. Only by inspecting Liu’s Han-Song academic discussion under the context of the entire academic history of Qing Dynasty for comparison could its meaning and the value be manifested.
This paper first introduces the background of the Han-Song dispute, and then compares Han Xue Shang Dui, which can indicate the content of Han-Song dispute, with Liu’s discourse. It aims to probe into the foundation and development of Liu’s Han-Song academic discussion upon previous perspectives through research in issues such as “Daosim”, “I-Li and scholium”, and “manner and logic”.
Moreover, Liu suggested that the Ru-Zhi and I-Li scholars of Qing Dynasty could be divided into two schools. This paper first investigates the representative figures of these two schools, and then explores the relationship between the “Fa-Wei Theory of Han and Han Ethics Study” and Chen Li’s Han Ru Tong Yi. It is found that Liu’s discourse of “the study of Song originates from the study of Han” was influenced by Chen Li’s “The study of Cheng and Chu is the study of Han Confucianism.” This paper further discusses Liu’s elucidation of “the study of Song originates from the study of Han” from the perspectives of “the study of ethics,” “the study of image-number”, and “the study of I-Li”.
In addition, this paper discusses Liu’s academic situation, and compares Liu’s criticism on “the mediator between Han and Song” with Chen’s mediation between Han and Song upon Liu’s theory, in order to demonstrate that Liu did not “support both Cheng and Chu” as Chen Li stated. Although Liu favored the study of Han, he also highly approved Lu-Wang’s theory of mind.
Finally, this paper discusses the influence of “the study of the West” on Liu’s Han-Song academic discussion, such as his support for Lu-Wang’s theory of mind and the study of image-number of Song Dynasty, and using “the study of the West” to inspect the advantages and disadvantages of the study of Han and Song. This paper finds that Liu had a unique viewpoint to evaluate the advantages and disadvantages of the old issues in the academic history during the alternation between the new and old cultures.
This paper is organized into 6 chapters, Chapter 1 is the “Introduction” and Chapter 6 is the “Conclusion,” Chapter 2-4 investigate Liu’s ideas from historical perspective, and Chapter 5 discusses them from the perspective of time and background. It is hoped that this study can provide a comprehensive description of Liu’s Han-Song academic discussion.
