“实事求是者”:乾嘉汉学的阐释主体

Truth Seekers:Exegetes of the Han School During Qianjia Period of Qing Dynasty

乾嘉时期,"实事求是"主要展现为一个经学阐释性命题。乾嘉汉学家作为阐释主体,其实就是"实事求是者",就是经学所蕴含之真理的"辩护人"。以知行问题为探究视角,可发现由于这一辩护人秉持汉宋分治(为学尊汉、为行尊宋)之理念,从而引发出对"实事求是"之精神的背离倾向。

In Qianjia Era,'seeking truth from fact' was mainly an interpretative issue.As the exegetes,the Han Scholars were those truth seekers and the defenders to protect the truth of Confucian classics.By analyzing the question of 'Zhixing',we can understand that the Han Scholars respected the Song Learning in moral behavior and complied with the Han Learning in doing scholarly research.Therefore,they departed from 'seeking truth from fact'.
