An...interesting translation of Chunqiu Gongyang jingzhuan tongyi 春秋公羊經傳通義 (lit. Comprehensive Meanings of the Classic and Tradition of the Gongyang Commentary to the Annals) by Kong Guangsen 孔廣森 (1753-1786). #chineseclassics #confucianism #china #chinese #philosophy

My presentation on "Tradition as a Buzz of Individual Voices" engaged opinion writings on the #Chunqiu traditions from late #HanChina. These highlight two competing approaches to the #ChineseClassics: a purist selection of traditional authority, and a synoptic consolidation of different texts. (1)

My talk is done! It traced how commentarial interpolation modifies the reading, even in subtly, thus setting paradigms of interpretation. Even #ZhuXi 朱熹 (1130-1200) still picks up on Zheng Xuan's 鄭玄 glosses. #chinesehistory #earlychina #commentary #chineseclassics #confucianism #historyofphilosophy
