许慎《说文解字》对东汉经学的贡献

Contribution of Xu Shen's Shuowenjiezi (《说文解字》)to Confucian Classics of the Eastern Han Dynasty

在东汉中期以前,今文经学由于受到统治者的重视而一直占据着主导地位,为了捍卫古文经学,许慎作《说文解字》,为古文经学最终压倒今文经学奠定坚实的基础,利用文字训诂的方法来探求古代流传下来的典籍本义,其实可靠,信而有证。

Before the middle period of Eastern Han Dynasty, the study of Confucian classics in current calligraphy as the result of the rulers＇ attention, has occupied the dominant position. In order to defend the study of Confucian classics in classical writing, Xu Shen wrote Shuowenjiezi （《说文解字》）, laid the solid foundation for the victory of the study of Confucian classics in classical writing finally. It is reliable to use the method of exegesis to study the original meanings of ancient books.
