博士 === 國立成功大學 === 中國文學系 === 104 === Summary Guweishu as China’s first Chenwei specialty collection is considerably influential to the later School of Chenwei collection. So far there have been few research results related to the study of Guweishu, hence Guweishu needs urgently to be investigated by scholars. This topic belongs to the interdisciplinary research, which contains throughout the study of Confucian classics, Chenwei, philology, text communication, text analysis, and the ancient Chinese astronomy and calendar, and has the development value. Therefore, the author selects Guweishu as the research objects, and applies the methods of literature review, textual research and analysis, book-writing style investigation, and textual acceptance criticism to carry out the discussion, in the hope of doing their part and contributing to the Chinese academic thinking through combining the interpretation of the teaching of justice and Chenwei, so as to fit it to the direction of future development of academic research. Keywords: Guweishu, Sun Jue, Chenwei, Views on Chenwei Introduction Guweishu is China’s first written work that focuses on Chenwei literature and carries out a comprehensive compilation and annotation. It holds a very special position in the history of the study of Chenwei and Chenwei development. Because the book does not cite the place of references from the original text of Chenwei, later scholars find it very inconvenient to cite hence all turn to compile Chenwei themselves and criticize the lack of Guweishu, thus even though the book is the origin of Chenwei compilation specialty but it is unable to get the equivalent historical evaluation. Via the author’s summaries of the views from the Chin Dynasty, it is discovered that Guweishu’s controversies are mainly problems such as “cited annotation but no citation from the original text of Chenwei”, “disorderly editing styles”, “more description but little original points, objectives unclear”, “ordering of Chenwei different from others”. To focus on the above described problems and to carryout in depth research is the issue this thesis wants to solve. Materials and Methods After reviewing the current Guweishu and Chenwei research results and considered the direction this thesis can take, focusing on Guweishu’s research, the author first selects His- Tso Chien’s Shoushange Books in Series which mainly focuses on Guweishu and uses the various Chenwei compilations written works from Chin Dynasty as complements. 　 This thesis aims to adapt the “literature compilation textual analysis method” to review the actual citations of Guweishu from the original text of Chenwei, and further adapts the “book editing style inquiry method” to analyze the reasons why Guweishu does not cite the references from the original text of Chenwei and other phenomena such as disorder editing styles. Secondly, adapting the “text analysis method” to review Guweishu’s compilation objectives and its themes of discussion, this is the main content for Guweishu text analysis. Finally, adapting “text acceptance research method” to explore Guweishu’s dissemination and accepted appearance in Chin Dynasty, and to restore the deserved value of Guweishu, such are the research method for this thesis. Result and Discussion Via the author’s research steps by “themes” to carry out discussions in different chapters, the several incomprehensible phenomena about Guweishu are now known, namely “unknown biography and works by Sun Jue”, “cited annotation but no citation from the original text of Chenwei”, “disorderly editing styles”, “inclusion of many non Chenwei texts”, “large reference of ancient text as annotation without explanation”, “ordering of Chenwei different from prior scholars”, “ordering of Chenwei different from other schools of studies”, “only listed the annotation but lacking an explanatory system” such issues, through this thesis’ chapters of discussion , various incomprehensive phenomena are discovered and all involve Sun Jue’s viewpoint on the meaning of Chenwei. Because of Sun Jue’s expectation on Chenwei compilation and interpretation many “Contigent” were produced in the compilation styles and interpretation content. Through the research of this thesis, five specific results are obtained, firstly “clarifying Guweishu’s sources of references from the Chenwei orginal, emphasizing the results of Chenwei compilation results in Ming Dynasty”, secondly, “ revealing Guweishu’s editing styles, clarifying the reasons for not citing Chenwei original”, thirdly “ comprehensive exploration of Guweishu’s content, elucidating Guweishu’s objectives”, fourthly “listing the acceptance condition by the Ching Dynasty, commenting on Guweishu’s influences in Ching Dynasty”. Conclusion This paper is the first attempt on conducting the comprehensive study aimed at the appearance of citation, compilation content, editing styles and dissemination acceptance such facets of Guweishu at home and abroad. With the aim to clear former negative and bias criticism about the book, hence via the discussion of this thesis in hope to carry out comprehensive review on Guweishu, enabling Guweishu to obtain its deserved objective evaluation in history of Chenwei development, so as to highlight (manifest) the value of Guweishu
