Zhu Xi’s 朱熹Shi jizhuan (詩集傳 Commentary on the Shijing) is the most important work of Song dynasty Shijing (詩經 Classic of Poetry) studies. The form and corresponding rules of style and layout he employed in interpreting the Shijing marked the coming of age of a new paradigm for studying the Confucian classics. Han-Tang dynasty scholarship followed a commentary and subcommentary approach; Song dynasty scholar-officials’ response to this was to dedicate themselves to explaining the classics in completely new ways, while embarking upon a creative exploration of the literary form of such works. The jizhuan (集傳collected commentaries) and jizhu (集注 collected annotations) forms emerged from these explorations. Over nearly forty years of such explorations, Zhu Xi combined the zhuanzhu 傳注 and yishu 義疏 styles used from the Han to the Tang, with the jieyi 解義 and lunshuo 論說 styles of his own dynasty. In doing so, he combined the advantages of xungu (訓詁 exegesis) and yili (義理 philosophy) approaches in the stylistic rules he designed and employed in the Shi jizhuan. Zhu Xi’s Shi jizhuan adheres to three principles for interpreting the classics: the commentary is rooted in the text of the classics; the text-commentary structure is strictly laid out; and the explanation presented is unique. Zhu Xi’s emphasis lay in explaining the Shijing using the poems themselves, and in chanting and reciting the text. He produced a style and form of classics commentary that was concise and easy to read, while meticulously detailed. |
