皮锡瑞《王制》研究评析

Reviews on Pi Xi-rui's studies of Wangzhi

清儒尤其晚清今文学家重视《王制》研究,皮锡瑞承前人之绪,对《王制》的文字训诂与名物典制、《王制》郑注的是非得失、《王制》的成书时代及其性质、《王制》与《周礼》的异同优劣等问题作了反复探讨,最后撰成《王制笺》一书,将清代的《王制》研究推进到一个新的高度。通过检视皮锡瑞的《王制》研究及其对待郑注的态度,可以相当清晰地看出他从专守古文到兼宗今古最后独尊今文的治经历程,这也是清代经学演进的一个缩影。

The scholars in Qing Dynasty, especially those who advocated the new-text classical Confucianism in late Qing, paid more attentions to Wangzhi, one chapter of the Book of Rites. Pi Xi-rui, a very famous Confucian scholar, studied Wangzhi throughout his life and finished his final book of Wangzhi Jian in 1907, which carried the researches of Wangzhi in Qing Dynasty to a new stage. Viewing Pi＇s studies of Wangzhi and his attitudes to Zhen Xuan＇s annotations on Wangzhi from the beginning to the end, it can reveal the sharp differences of his standpoints from the old-text classical to the new-text classical Confucianism. Pi＇s studies of Wangzhi was the classical studies in Qing Dynasty in miniature.
