明清四种注《孟》著作散论

On the Four Commentary Editions of Mencius during the Ming and Qing Dynasties

明清两代 ,有四部以“孟子”为书名前冠的著作 ,作者分别是黄宗羲、戴震、焦循、康有为。他们在《孟子师说》、《孟子字义疏证》、《孟子正义》、《孟子微》中 ,对《孟子》这一经典文本注入了自己有创意的见解。这些独创的观点 ,不仅较好地体现了这四位思想家不同于传统的启蒙风貌与近代意识 ,也体现了中国文化发展历史的规律与特点。

During the Ming and Qing Dynasties there were four works partly entitled Mencius, Written by Huang Zongxi, Dai Zhen, Jiao Xun, Kang Youwei. They have respectively expressed their original views on the classic Mencius in their works Mencius on Pedagogues, Mencius' Text Annotated, Mencius Annotated, Mencius Commentated. These creative views profusely show not only the four thinkers' different enlightening features and different consciousness of modern times from those of tradition, but also embody the rules and characteristics of the development of Chinese cultural history.
