Abstract |
Corresponding study of traditional classics has been the convention. In history, it was common for the scholars to interpret classics by classics or conduct corresponding study. Shi (The Book of Songs) and Yi (The Book of Changes) are the most ancient classics in modern China. As the times are close and the regions are mostly overlapping, while both two classics use “imagery” or “comparison” to imply the meanings of words with similar expressive techniques are similar, Shi is close to Yi among all six classics, and they are used for cross-examination and mutual interpretation. This paper observes the corresponding study of Shi Jing and Zhou Yi of Qing Dynasty for cross-examination and mutual interpretation, in order to probe into the classics and develop new research methods.
