Abstract

Since the mid-Qing dynasty, many scholars have realized that Hui Dong might have compiled three commentaries on the Confucian Canons, namely Zuozhuan Jia Fu zhu, Lunyu Zheng zhu and Shangshu Zheng zhu, for the purpose of intentionally attributing these works to the South Song?scholar?Wang?Yinglin.?This?opinion?has?been generally?accepted?regarding?the?first?two?works.? As for Shangshu Zheng zhu, however, there has been a controversy whether it was directly linked to Hui Dong, since this book has only been noticed by very few modern scholars. Based on the evidence of his intentionally incorrect signatures, this article demonstrates that Shangshu Zheng zhu, which was compiled under the name of Wang Yinglin and collected in Shanghai Library and Notional Library of China, was exactly the same work complied by Hui Dong. The supportive evidence also comes from Hui Dong’s works and Duan Yucai’s commentaries on Hui Dong’s work. Moreover, this article demonstrates that the two versions of the book held in the Shanghai Library and Notional Library of China and another version, which was revised by Li Tiaoyuan and developed into Zhengshi Guwen Shangshu, are all of the same origin. Hui Dong’s Shangshu Zheng zhu was widely circulated among Qing scholars and Li Tiaoyuan made a great contribution to the revision and publication of the book.
