章学诚“浙东学术”新论

A New Study of Zhang Xuecheng’s Idea About "the East Zhejiang Scholarship"

章学诚撰《浙东学术》篇,非为构建与戴震抗衡之学统,其主旨与《朱陆》同,均为消弭当时愈演愈烈的门户之争。章氏以宗主为标尺区分浙东、西之学,以治学方式与风格的差异来分辨朱、陆之教,以对乡邦文献的继承为标准阐述浙东史学,体现了三种不同的叙学视角。据此以观章氏对自身位置之暗示:宗朱不宗陆,非'浙东学术'中人;对浙东文献不甚周详,亦非'浙东史学'之传人;赞赏朱子之教,欲以经世史学继之,可归于承朱子学者之列。

This paper examines Zhang Xuecheng’s idea about'the East Zhejiang Scholarship'.Zhang’s East Zhejiag Scholarship was not to compete against Dai Zhen,but had the same goal of quelling partisan controversies as Zhu And Lu.Zhang distinguished the east from the west scholarship based on idealist philosophy,separated Zhu Xi’s teaching from Lu Jiuyuan’s on academic style,and interpreted the east Zhejiang historiography by the standard of whether it inherited the local literature.These were Zhang’s three perspectives.According to the above analyses,it is clear that Zhang followed Zhu Xi’s teaching instead of that of Lu.He could not be included into the group of'the East Zhejiang Scholarship'.In addition,he was unfamiliar with the local literature and did not inherit'the East Zhejiang Historiography',either.In conclusion,Zhang should be considered a follower of Zhu Xi.
