《吕氏家塾读诗记》宗毛倾向例说

"Poetry Reading at the Lus' Study" Followed the Examples of "Shi Xu" and "Mao Zhuan"

吕祖谦说:"学《诗》而不求《序》,犹欲入室而不由户也。"因此,《吕氏家塾读诗记》绝大多数的解说与《诗序》意见一致。有个别地方对《郑笺》有所订正,实际上并不是反对《郑笺》,而是《郑笺》尚不完善之处,仍按照《诗序》、《毛传》的思路加以补足,使之更趋完善。

Lu Zuqian said： ＂If we learn ＇The Book of Song＇ but do not follow ＇Shi Xu＇, it＇s just like entering the room but not from the door. ＂ Therefore, most of the explanations of ＂Poetry Reading at the Lus＇ Study＂ conformed to the the opinions of ＂Shi Xu＂. It modified some explainations of ＂Zheng Jian＂. But this modification was not to object to it, but to improve it according to the thoughts of ＂Shi Xu＂ and ＂Mao Zhuan＂.
