"Kongshu" Interpretation Of "Kong Chuan" Interpretation Case Study

Mei Ze’s Kong Zhuan Gu Wen Shang Shu is accompanied by Kong Anguo’s Preface and the scripture commentary,namely "Kong Zhuan".Kong Zhuan Gu Wen Shang Shu was established by authority and became a classic biography of Shang Shu,and its influence was enormous.Since Tang generation,Kong Yingda and other scholars edited the Wu Jing Zheng Yi,in which Shang Shu Zheng Yi takes "Kong Zhuan" as the official commentary.Kong Yingda went deeply into the Shang Shu scriptures and "Kong Zhuan",namely "Kong Shu".In Shang Shu Zheng Yi,there are 2409 annotations by "Kong Zhuan" and 1478 "Kong Zhuan" by "Kong Shu".There is a great deal of content in the annotation of "Kong Zhuan" by "Kong Shu",which summarizes the "Yi Li" of Shang Shu and "Kong Zhuan".The traditional concept of "Yi Li" has two meanings:one refers to the instance of clarifying righteousness;the other refers to the theme and the stylistic rules and layout of authoring the book.The former is closely related to the interpretation of the Chun Qiu.The latter is a more abstract exposition and exegesis from the former.The case of "Kong Shu" and the interpretation of "Kong Zhuan" belong to the latter.There are many categories of "Yi Li" discussed in modern Critical Interpretation of Ancient Texts,but the "Yi Li" summarized in "Kong Shu" only cover three aspects:"the method of exegesis","the principle of exegesis",and "the format of writing",and they are parts of these three aspects.This incomplete summary reflects Kong Yingda’s clearer concept of annotation,and it also reflects the increasingly clear academic demands of the development of Critical Interpretation of Ancient Texts to the Tang Dynasty.As a classical interpretation text,it should have a fixed style and develop to a certain normative direction.In the method of Critical Interpretation of Ancient Texts,there are two conclusions about"Kong Shu":First,use the "以文证造立训解,为之作传,明不率尔",pointing out "Kong Zhuan" with the "Yin Shu" method of exegesis.212 of such dredging instruments indicate that 254 references to the "Kong Zhuan" situation.Through this summary,we can see that "Kong Shu" has made it clear that the "acquisition of a group of people" and "a practice of training" in the "Kong Zhuan"is considered as a method worthy of attention and emphasis."Kong Shu" is used to describe the absence of plaintext in the "Kong Zhuan"(that is,where the source of the literature cannot be found or proved).It is explained by such terms as "no training","according to legend" and"unknown book."Second,the "acoustic training method" in the "Kong Zhuan" was pointed out with "某声近某,故为某也”.The phonetic relationship between the interpreted words and the explanation words reflected in the 63 training sessions covers the following:"Sound and rhyme are the same","Sound and rhyme is near","Rhymes are near the same sound","Sound and rhyme are all changed","Two sounds" and "Rhyme" are included.On the other hand,almost all of the phonological relationships reflect the clearer view of the meaning of "Kong Zhuan" and "Kong Shu".In terms of the principle of exegesis,"Kong Shu" also summarized two aspects:First,the "Yue Wen" principle in the "Kong Zhuan" is pointed out after the "一训之后,重训者少”and "显见可知,则径言其义".Kong Anguo’s 2,409 essays consisted of 48,894 words,with an average of 20.30 words per clause and at least 1 word.The unique features of his"Simple words with abundant meanings" and "Important words with simple sayings" are unique,and they are due to the fact that Kong Anguo intends to pass on the exegetical principles of the"Yue Wen." What is commendable is that "Kong Shu" has not only summed up this principle,but also applied it to "Shu" to carry forward this principle.Second,the principle of "Zong Jing" in "Kong Zhuan" is pointed out in "从经为正".The titles of the first book of the Shang Shu are written in the small "Preface,and so on.When"Kong Zhuan" wants to explain such repeated words and sentences,it will not be passed under the "Preface" because of the first place of "Preface",but will be relayed in the following passage.This principle of enlightenment is what Kong Yingda summed up as "从经为正".Kong Yingda’s principle of "从经为正" is a manifestation of the idea of self-improvement in the Han Dynasty and the exegesis of the "respect classics".It shows the intrinsic relationship between Chinese ancient discipline studies and ancient Chinese economic studies,as well as distinctive national characteristics of ancient Chinese academics.In terms of format,there are still two conclusions about "Kong Shu":First,the "数字倶训,其末以一’也’结之",which points out the characteristics of the refined spirit of "Kong Zhuan".The format of this form of "Kong Zhuan" is derived from Er Ya,but according to the different emphasis,there are four different situations.It is precisely the development of "Kong Zhuan" that leads to "Kong Shu" defines it as a form of writing.Second,the“传之训字,或先或后”indicates that the character of "Kong Zhuan" is not mechanically stagnant.According to statistics,in general,most of the "Kong Zhuan" explained the meaning of the word firstly and then talked about the scripture,meaning that "the word which need to be annotated before other words" was the main interpretation model,but the situation of "words do not rely on before or after" was also pitched.In response to this situation,"Kong Shu" uses the word“传之训字,或先或后,无义例也" to indicate its attitude.It means that the instruction should be flexible according to the actual situation,and it is not necessary to adhere to a certain fixed order to bond.Observe the regulation if there is "Yi Li".If not,it is also appropriate.As is mentioned above,the interpretation of the "Kong Zhuan,explained by "Kong Shu"reveals not only the thoughts of the Confucian interpretation of "Kong Zhuan",but also reflects the era of "Kong Shu".The exegetical scholars have commented on the interpretation work with new and deeper understanding,they hope to get rid of the complex models of exegesis and hope to get rid of all the constraints brought about by the study of the classics and make the exegetical work more and more formal.Wu Jing Zheng Yi is taken as a model for future generations of exegesis,which is obviously connected to the "Kong Shu" summary of the "Kong Zhuan" and carried forward.
