Jiaoxue Tongyi is one of the most important works in Kang Youwei’s (1858-1927) early years. It was written in 1886 based on Kang’s Wo shi. Though this statement has been accepted in academia, it seems doubtful if we compare Jiaoxue Tongyi with Kang’s other writings. According to Min gong pian, the written statement to high authorities, the letters to the ministers, the extant diary of Kang’s, and “Yu Shen xingbu Zipei shu,” Kang might draw inspiration from Zhang Xuecheng (1738-1801) and started to write Jiaoxue Tongyi in late 1888. At first, Kang advocated Zhang’s idea of “guanshi heyi” (officials and teachers are identical) with special attention to Zhou li (Rites of Zhou). While getting disappointed about the political situation, he turned his opinion into “guanshi fenli” (officials and teachers cease to be identical). He then adopted the doctrine in Liao Ping’s Jing gu xue kao and declared that Confucius reformed the political system by writing Chunqiu (Spring and Autumn Annals). This article will contribute to clarifying Kang’s changes of thoughts. |
