小学与经学:段、顾之争与校勘学的取径

Philology and Classics:The Contradiction and Collation Methodology between DuanYucai and Gu Qianli

段、顾之争的根源是小学与经学之争。段玉裁的研究方法是根基于小学的考据方法,顾千里的研究方法则是具有传统经学特色的方法。段氏关注字句、片段在其他文献中所呈现的不同,然后施展考据功夫以求形成统一的文本;顾氏则更重视对经学家法的遵守,保持在不同家法传承下经文的差异性。从这一点看,顾千里的校勘和解读更符合经学本身的特征。

The root of the contradiction between DuanYucai and Gu Qianli lies in the difference between philology and classics.DuanYucai's research method is based on philology,while Gu Qianli's is a method with traditional classical characteristics.DuanYucai pays attention to the different appearances of words,sentences and fragments in other documents,and then uses philology to pursue the formation of a unified text;Gu Qianli pays more attention to the observance of Chinese classical scholarship,and maintains the inheritance of different domestic laws.From this point of view,Gu Qianli's collation and interpretation are more in line with the characteristics of classics.
