A brief introduction to Wu Zhen

Wu Xuan (about 1100-1154) was an ancient phonologist and exegetist in Song Dynasty. He was also known as a Confucian scholar. Jinshi in the eighth year of huizongzhenghe (1118 A.D.) [Song Yuan Xuean Volume II]. Yuelu Publishing House published in 2008 "four book chapters and sentences" in the appendix, it is called the sixth year of Xuanhe (1124) Jinshi. It's not easy to call and test the position of the library, but it's too late. In the 15th year of Shaoxing (1146 AD), Emperor Gaozong sentenced Quanzhou (volume 154 of the chronicles since Jianyan). Wu Qijing's theory of exegesis, including 13 volumes of biography of benefit, has been lost. Today's biography of yunbu has five volumes. It can be seen in volume 3 of "three records of Zhi" and volume 187 of "Fujian general annals" of Tongzhi in Qing Dynasty.

Historical achievements

Wu Yao is the first scholar to doubt the ancient book of history. The eighth volume of Yan Ruo Yao's Shuzheng of the ancient book of history says: "the doubt of the ancient book began when Wu CAI was old." He also wrote ten volumes of the Analects of Confucius and one volume of Shuo Li. Later, many of Zhu Xi's opinions on the book of songs and songs of Chu came from Wu Zhen. In Zhu Xi's quotation of four book chapters and sentences, the person of "Wu family" is Wu Zhen.

especially

(Hou Youtong) when he examined his poems carefully, the boundary of the upper nine parts was completely broken by himself, and the discussion of the characters was not in line with the ancient sound of the pre Qin period. He even cited the poems of Ouyang Xiu, Su Shi and Su Zhe as evidence, which was dissatisfied by later generations. However, his study of ancient Chinese sounds played a pioneering role.
