Construct Learning Orthodoxy:lv Zu-qian's Study Of Central Plains Literature

Through the unique perspective of "Inheritance of the Central Plains Literature",this article explores how Lv Zuqian reconstructs Confucianism under the consciousness of the era of "reconstructing the Internal Saint and External King".The important feature of Lv Zuqian's reconstruction of Confucianism is to combine the inheritance of traditional ideas with the changes of the times' thinking,and take a road of Confucian revival with Confucianism as the skeleton,Normative-Principle,Diction Art,textual research,and practical application as the bloodline.This path is not only different from Zhu Xi's cosmic ontology construction with "Theory of Tian Li" as the core,but also from the meaning world constructed by Lu Wang's upright mind ontology.Lv Zuqian used the "Golden Mean" as the methodology that penetrates the ontological world and the world of meaning,and also used the theory of "Tao contains body and function" to bridge the gap between the inner sage and the outer king,making Confucianism return to the pattern of "inner sage and outer king" This way of constructing Confucianism had an important influence on Confucianism in Song,Yuan,Ming and Qing Dynasties,especially in Qing Dynasty.First of all,through the evolution of Lv Zuqian's academic status,it is found that the development of Confucianism in the Song,Yuan,Ming and Qing Dynasties has experienced an evolution process from Learning Orthodoxy to Orthodox theory and then returning to Learning Orthodoxy.Zhu Xi's "Orthodox theory" is the core,and the Neo-Confucianism constructed with the "Four Books" as the classic system has been officially recognized and become the dominant thought,dominating the entire Yuan,Ming and Qing academic development.However,Lv Zuqian took the Confucianism as the core,returned to the Five Classics,integrated Confucius and Mencius,and the construction of the Han and Tang Confucianism became an undercurrent that cannot be ignored in the development history of Confucianism.Competing with Orthodox theory and passed down to the Qing Dynasty and revived.Secondly,the exact meaning of "Inheritance of the Central Plains Literature" obtained by Lv Zuqian is "Learning Orthodoxy of Confucianism",and his academic system revolves around Confucianism.The theory of Tao contains body and function the general outline of the Central Plains Literature;The reconstruction of Cultural Tradition is the key to the study of the Central Plains Literature;The study of truth-seeking textual research is the cornerstone of the study of the Central Plains Literature;The economics that manages the world for practical use is the home of the Central Plains Literature;Together they constitute the whole of Lv Zuqian's learning.These four aspects are not independent of each other,but an organic whole,in which the theory of justice represents the orthodoxy,the language and rhetoric represents the literary tradition,and the science of economics represents the rule.Lv Zuqian put the reconstruction of Song Confucianism in the overall perspective of the development of Confucianism.He neither cuts off the continuity of the development of Confucianism,but also pays attention to the innovation of the times.The construction of the present takes a different look from the contemporaries.Finally,through Lv Zuqian's reconstruction of Song Confucianism based on Confucianism,we can re-examine Lv Zuqian's position in the history of thought,academic history,and cultural history.Internal Saint and External King are important characteristics of Confucianism,and they are also distinguishing features of Confucianism from Taoism and Buddhism.The Central Plains philology,which cultivates oneself and governs others,becomes oneself and becomes a thing,is the core of Lv Zuqian's academy.Under the background that Confucianism in Song Dynasty turned to internal,reconstructing the way of Internal Saint and External King Confucianism is the academic purport of of the Central Plains literature.In the history of Confucianism,Lv Zuqian was not only the southern spreader of Northern studies in Song Dynasty,but also the pioneer of southern studies,and he was also the builder of Confucianism,and the master of Song studies.He played an important role in the entire history of Confucianism.The Eastern Zhe jiang Practical School of Song Dynasty,practical learning of Ming and Qing Dynasty,Textual Criticism of Qing Dynasty,and Eastern Zhe jiang Historiography were all deeply influenced by it.All in all,the Central Plains Literature shows the system behind Lv Zuqian's miscellaneous thoughts and his great contribution to the development of Confucianism in the Song,Yuan,Ming and Qing Dynasties.
