Mao Gong's "Mao Shi GuXun Zhuan" and Zheng Xuan's "Mao Shi Jian" have been called the origin of Shi Jing in Han Dynasty; Zhu Xi's "Shiji Zhuan" has been regarded as congregated the essence of Shi Jing in Song Dynasty. The influence of those works to the sinology has been prolonging for several ages. There are much in common in their intention on annotating, approaches to noting when the three writers explained "Shi Jing "and the annotation were closely related to one another. However, due to the different time of those works, there are still some difference from the focus on annotation and the soundness of those works.
