文本于经:清人惠周惕经解的文学在场

Text in the Classics: The Literary Presence of the Interpretation of the classics by Hui Zhouti in the Qing Dynasty

东吴惠氏是清代学术史上,声名最为显赫的汉学家族之一,惠周惕则被认作惠氏家族的奠基人。通过钩沉惠周惕的诗文可以发现,其诗文创作强调“文本于经”的方法、“会通变化”的态度,与之经学考证“以经解经”的手段、“无所专主”的立场,高度一致。他考证《诗经》所作的《诗说》,采用了诸多文学话语,用诗人的文学思维解读《诗经》,显示其构建辞章之学与经史考证之学内在联系的愿望。惠周惕究竟应当被定义为经师还是文人,仍值得借助多元视角重新审视。

In the academic history of the Qing Dynasty, the Hui family of Dongwu was one of the most famous families in Sinology, and Hui Zhouti was regarded as the founder of the Hui family.By presenting Hui Zhouti’s poetry, we can know that his poetry creation emphasizes the method of “text in the classics” and the attitude of “integrating changes”,which was consistent with his method of “interpreting classics with classics” and “unfocused stance” in his textual research.After researching the Book of Songs he created Shi Shuo,which adopted many literary discourses and interpreted the Book of Songs from in a poet’s view, showing that he wanted to build the inner connection between the study of rhetoric and the study of historical textual research.We still need to re-exam through multiple perspectives whether Hui Zhouti should be regarded as a scholar of classics or a literati.
