錢穆《朱子新學案》對朱熹錢穆《朱子新學案》對朱熹

Supplementing and Revising Qian Mu’s Chronological Judgments on Zhu Xi’s Letters and Recorded Sayings in Zhu Zi Xin Xue An

錢穆的《朱子新學案》，乃是研究朱熹學術的重要作品，錢氏辨析資料，論理清晰，詳細闡述朱熹的義理思維。在《朱子新學案》中，以《朱子文集》和《朱子語類》為主要的探討文獻，不過，錢穆針對兩書的相關論述，如書信撰寫年分的推估、語料記錄時間的判斷等，實可利用其他典籍予以補充，有助於釐清這些材料的年分，同時，參酌各類語錄、宋人作品等，亦能修正《朱子新學案》對書信、語料的繫年論述。辨明這些資料的撰寫時間，有助於了解朱熹的學術活動、相關文獻的背景，以及朱門弟子的從學年分。

Qian mu’s Zhu Zi Xin Xue An is widely deemed as a seminal work for studying Zhu Xi. It has abundant citations, makes articulate arguments, and describes the gist of Zhu’s thoughts in painstaking detail. Zhu Zi Xin Xue An devotes much of its literature review to Zhu Zi Wen Ji and Zhu Zi Yu Lei, but some of Qian statements about these two works, such as his dating of texts and letters, should be scrutinized. Taking into account the works that Qian did not date, this paper reviews several other books to ascertain when these works were written, while proposing corrections to some of his statements.
