The"Zuoshi and Youshi"Theory in the Perspective of Academic History
The"Zuoshi ang Youshi"theory,as proposed in"Yu Zao"from Liji and elaborated in the"Yiwenzhi"from Hanshu,is a public case in the history of Chinese academic history.In the traditional context,scribes used the cross-textual interpretation of the Zuoshi and Youshi and the Taishi and Neishi to generally defend the Liji and to reject the Hanshu theory.However,apart from the influence of scripture and political teaching,the Hanshu's theory has become more popular,and the cultural phenome-non of taking the Hanshu under the name of the Liji is more commonly practiced.Along with the awakening of the consciousness of reflection on scripture and the development of modern academic trends,many scholars,represented by Zhang Xuecheng,raised various questions and criticisms on the existence of the official system of Zuoshi and Youshi and whether there was a di-chotomy between the record of words and the record of events,which seriously affected the rationality of this doctrine.Howev-er,these criticisms and questions have not attracted full attention and active responses from modern scholars,and there are still many people who insist on the old scripture doctrine and forcefully prove the"Zuoshi and Youshi".This situation is mainly due to the emergence of the discipline of the history of modern historiography and the development of other related humanities studies,which need the use of the"Zuoshi and Youshi"doctrine as a starting point for discipline construction and theoretical elaboration,and therefore conservatively acknowledging and even defending the"Zuoshi and Youshi"doctrine became the choice of some scholars.
