魏源《诗古微》论《诗经·小雅》

Wei Yuan's Study on Xiaoya in the Book of Songs in his Work of Shiguwei

《诗古微》是晚清今文《诗经》学最具影响力的一部著作。书中有关《诗经·小雅》的论述,援采齐、鲁、韩三家《诗》说考证《小雅》之篇第世次,否定《郑笺》"豳雅"之说,为东都之雅立新说,考据方面虽然存在着失实之处,但作者从《诗》乐关系与作品篇第世次两方面入手拓展《小雅》诠释的思想路径,所述观点新颖独特,体现了魏源"达性情于政事,融政事于性情"的《诗》学旨趣。

Shiguwei was the most influential classic on the study of The Book ot songs m the late Qing Dynasty. the discussions of Xiaoya in Shiguwei referred to three schools of Qi, Lu and Han, but refuted the views of Binya in The Zheng＇s Book, and put forth new ideas for Xiaoya of the eastern Zhou Dynasty. Although there were some inaccuracies in textual research, the author＇s train of thought on explaining Xiaoya was unique from two major grounds, including the relationship between The Book of Songs and music, and poems＇ sequence and chronology. These demonstrated Wet Yuan＇s poetic interests on the study of The Book of Songs-----the thoughts and feelings in The Book of Songs can influence the business of governing, and we can find some methods of governing the country from the thought and the feelings in The Book of Songs.
