This paper aims to conduct a philological study of Hang Shijun’s Xu Liji Jishuo by employing empirical methods, including the analysis of citation counts and comparison of commentaries on the Classics. While citation counts reflect Hang’s reception of Ritual Studies, comparison of Classics commentaries reveals his idea and understanding of ritual. Additionally, this study addresses various bibliographical issues concerning Xu Jishuo, ranging from the examination of its different editions, the reconstruction of lost passages, and the analysis of proofreading processes to the authentication of disputed anecdotes and the interpretations adopted by later generations. Hang participated in the compilation of Qinding Liji Yishu while serving at the Sanli Guan and was the lead author of several sections, including the initial drafts of“Xueji,”“Yueji,”“Zaji,”“Sang Da Ji,”“Jifa,”“Jiyi,”and“Jitong.”Since Hang privately wrote Xu Liji Jishuo after his dismissal from official service, both his position and his work reflect a dual identity: on the one hand, he was an official Sanli Guan scholar representing the state’s position on the ritual; on the other, he acted as a private intellectual articulating personal perspectives. Hang’s negotiation and transformation between his public and private stances are evident and can be seen in the editorial comments preserved in the manuscripts of Qinding Liji Yishu, the state ideology expressed in the finalized official editions, and the ancient and contemporary ritual interpretations collected in Xu Jishuo. Through a comparative analysis of the manuscripts of Qinding Liji Yishu, this paper argues that although Xu Jishuo claims to adopt a neutral position without explicit judgment, the work nonetheless contains a clearly traceable stance shaped by its historical and intellectual context. |
