Etiquette is Zheng Xue: a Manuscript on the History of Changes in Interpretation of Classics between Han and Tang Dynasties (classics and Civilization)
by Hua Zhe
About This Novel
The theory that "rituals are Zheng Xue" comes from Kong Yingda Shu in "Book of Rites and Justice". The author uses this as a basic method to understand the classics and analyze the classics. He reorganizes the development of the interpretation of classics in Han and Tang Dynasties, and proposes that the tradition of classics in Han and Tang Dynasties was built around how to understand Zheng and Xuan. This book uses clear language to lead readers into the thinking world of ancient Confucian scholars, tracing back the development of Confucian classics in the past five hundred years from the founding of Zheng Xuan's study to the compilation of the "Five Classics of Justice" in the Tang Dynasty. The book focuses on Zheng Xuan's theory and later scholars' questioning, criticism, adjustment, distortion, and return of Zheng Xuan. It explores the evolutionary relationship and academic features from the content of the scripture itself, and puts forward many refreshing conclusions for readers.
