英文摘要 |
The aim of this paper is to investigate the continuation, innovation, and influence of scholarship during the Meiji and Taishō periods on the history of the Book of Odes learning as seen through Tetsuji Morohashi's view of the Odes. Primary to this study is Morohashi's Shikyō kenkyū, with references made to his other writings on the Odes found in his collected works. Specific attention is given to what he wrote on the six meanings, the ''Zhounan'' and ''Shaonan'' chapters, original and variant versions, the minor and greater odes of the kingdom, the four beginnings, the preface to the Odes, the arrangement of the anthology, the table of contents, deleted poems, the four versions, and the commentaries and subcommentaries on the Odes.
Findings in this paper include: Morohashi used new learning to explain the six meanings; he did not emphasize the importance of the ''Zhounan'' and ''Shaonan'' chapters, nor did he think the difference among variant versions or the minor and grater odes had any deep significance; he mentioned the four beginnings but did not elaborate on them; he felt the preface to the Odes had holes in it; the true meaning behind the arrangement and the table of contents cannot be known; the issue of Confucius deleting poems is very nuanced and does not lend itself to quick and absolute denial; the transmission of the four versions did not depend on length; he also accepted many historical views expressed in commentary on the Odes. |
