诠释过度与诠释不足:重审中国经典解释学中的汉宋之争——以《论语》“颜渊问仁”章为例

This paper discusses the methodology of Chinese classical hermeneutics, taking one of the main Han-Song controversies, i.e. the different interpretations on Analects 12:1 between the Han school and the Song school. After comparing in detail the interpretations on keji (self-discipline) of both sides, the author holds that the interpretation of Han school is actually under-interpretation, though the Han school regards the interpretation of Song school as over-interpretation. This paper questions the traditional view, which believes the Han school is superior to the Song school on the classical interpretations.
