This exciting third volume of David M. Honey's comprehensive
history of Chinese thought begins with China after nomadic invaders
overran the northern regions of the historic kingdom. The
differentiation between scholarly emphases-northern focus on the
traditional pedagogical commentary, and southern classical school's
more innovative commentary-led to an emphasis on the interpretation
of the overall message of a text, not a close reading of smaller
sections. As Honey explains, serious attention to the phonological
nature of Chinese characters also began during in this long era.
Based on the work of earlier Sui dynasty classicists, Kong Yinga
and his committee produced the Correct Meaning commentary to the
Five Classics during the early Tang Dynasty, which is still largely
normative today. The book demonstrates that the brooding presence
of Zheng Xuan, the great textual critic from the Eastern Han
dynasty, still exerted enormous influence during this period, as
his ritualized approach to the classics inspired intellectual
followers to expand on his work or impelled opponents to break off
in new directions.
