Master of Classical Scholarship

Description

Sun Yirang, courtesy name Zhongrong and sobriquet Zhouqin, was a native of Rui’an in Wenzhou, Zhejiang Province. He achieved outstanding accomplishments in the study of the Confucian classics, pre-Qin philosophers, paleography, and the compilation of local literature, and was also one of the pioneers of modern education in China. Zhang Taiyan praised him as „unsurpassed in three hundred years,“ while Guo Moruo called him „a great scholar who carried on the past and opened the way for the future.“

This book begins with Sun Yirang’s family scholarly heritage and his social interactions, tracing the development of his academic career. Against the backdrop of the late Qing dynasty, despite his grand aspirations and active involvement in industrial endeavors, Sun Yirang found himself constrained by reality. Ultimately, he devoted himself wholeheartedly to classical scholarship, becoming a master of evidential learning.
