李瀷《诗经疾书》研究

A Study of Shi Jing Ji Shu( 诗经疾书) by Yi Ik

朝鲜儒者李瀷以湛深之实学思想蜚声学坛,在《诗经》学方面亦有突出之成就,相关研究成果结集为《诗经疾书》问世。在研究方法上,李瀷勇于突越前人束缚,大胆怀疑昔贤成说,同时运用实证手段,批讹订谬,创立新见。《诗经疾书》之主要特色为继承《诗经》风教传统,在疏解诗篇时,贯注求贤治国之道,立身处世之方。训诂方面亦时有创获之功。但亦有不足之处,主要表现为过分强调经世致用,以致出现附会之失;抽离诗篇产生之历史背景,去历史而释诗,常有苛求前人、立论不稳之弊。对于一些具体诗篇的阐释,也有值得商榷之处。然瑕不掩瑜,《诗经疾书》确为朝鲜时代《诗经》学研究要籍,有必要对其作一番研究探讨。

Yi Ik was a famous practical thinker in Chosun Period. He also had prominent achievements on The Book of Songs. The systematically published works of Shi Jing Ji Shu by Yi - IK reflected his academic per- spectives and achievements. Firstly, in research methodology, he suspected the old interpretation and put for- ward new explanations. Apart from that, he applied empirical means to rid of the erroneous views and created new ones. Secondly, the main features of Shi .ling Ji Shu by Yi - IK were to inherit the enlightenment tradition in The Book of Songs. When explaining the passages, he proclaimed the thought of pursuing the talented to gov- ern the country and trying to find out the way of developing oneself rationally. Thirdly, on the explanations of the words about The Book of Songs, Yi -Ik could put forward his new view; yet, Shi .ling Ji Shu is embodied with some inadequacies, for example, Yi - Ik overemphasized the function of statecraft, so that there appeared many attached explanations. Sometimes, he explained the historical passages without basing them on the situation at that time. Consequently, he set so high standards for the predecessors that his comments veered off acceptability. To some specific passages, his interpretation needed discussion. However, Shi Jing Ji Shu was indeed an impor- tant book in Chosun Period, which is worthy of a careful study.
