Fu Guang, pen name Hanqing and pseudonym Qian'an, also known as Mr. Chuanyi, was apprenticed to Lu Zuqian at the beginning of his academic life and then studied under Zhu Xi. His work was listed right after that of Huang Gan's in the Song Yuan Xue'an, which indicated his high ranking among Zhu Xi's disciples. Fu Guang's understanding of and opinions on the Analects of Confucius, the Mencius, the Great Learning and the Doctrine of the Mean, were recorded in the Encyclopedia of the Four Books (Sishu daquan, the Encyclopedia) in the Ming Dynasty. The Encyclopedia included 440 explanations of the Analects of Confucius, 391 explanations of the Mencius, and few explanations of the Great Learning and the Doctrine of the Mean by Fu Guang, making him the most quoted for the Four Books among Zhu Xi's disciples. His works became the most important materials for interpreting Zhu's assertions. Fu Guang came from the Zhe School and therefore was well grounded in the doctrines of different schools of thoughts. Furthermore, he fearlessly defied the Prohibition of Court Factions during the Qingyuan Reign. His conviction helped him and other Zhu's disciples to remain steadfast in their scholarly endeavors to follow Zhu's teaching, which also proved that Zhu's Confucian philosophy was worthy of lifelong devotion by Confucian scholars. Consequently, Fu Guang, the resolute follower of Zhu Xi, became the key person to ensure the continuity of Zhu's scholarship despite chaotic political and social conditions. Furthermore, he explored sages' thoughts deeply, gained insights into the sages, self-cultivation (gongfu), nature and principle, and Zhu's exegesis, and then made them integral parts of his own academic achievement. Fu corrected erroneous ways of understanding of the relationship between the essence of the classics and Zhu's exegesis. At the same time, Fu's views on nature and principle differed from those of Zhu's, which caused him to think on deeper levels and helped to facilitate the completion of Zhu Xi's system of Confucian philosophy. |
