顾炎武:开启清代朴学思潮第一人

Gu Yanwu: the First Pioneer Who Initiated the Trend of Thought of PUXUE, a School That Advocated a Simple Style of Writing in the Qing Dynasty

清初,朴学取代理学成为学坛主流,顾炎武是开启这一思潮的先导大师,他标帜“行已有耻”、“博学于文”,把为人为学统一起来,具备了充任学坛领军人物的素质;他站在时代潮流的最前沿,政治上反抗异族统治,思想上高扬反理学大旗,敢为天下先;他引领经学走出哲学化域地,力开朴实学风;他奠定了朴学的学问基础,影响卓著,光照后人,被后世公认为是“清初三大儒”中奠定清代朴学思潮的第一人。

In the early Qing Dynasty, PUXUE replaced Neo-Confucianism and developed into the dominant trend in the sphere of learning. Gu Yanwu, the leading master who pioneered the trend of thought, advocated the integration of scholars' personality with their scholarship, which shows that he possessed the qualities of a scholar who was capable of leading the learned circle. Standing at the foremost front of the tide of the times, politically, he opposed domination by foreign races; ideologically, he upheld the banner of combating Neo - Confucianism, daring to do what had never been done; he led the study of Confucian classics out of the philosophized sphere and made great effort to start a simple style of scholarship; he laid the academic foundation for PUXUE, exerting extraordinary influence on the succeeding generations and lighting their paths to success. Therefore, he is acknowledged by the subsequent scholars as the first leading scholar of the Three Major Confucian Scholars in the early Qing Dynasty who brought about the trend of thought of PUXUE in the Qing Dynasty.
