Features: In the history of Confucianism, the Changzhou school of Confucian classics is a noteworthy yet little-studied faction. The author conducts an interactive analysis of the "internal logic" and "external environment" that led to the emergence and rise of the Changzhou school of Confucian classics, arguing that the 18th-century Confucian classics movement was deeply rooted in regional social activities. This book delves into the origins of "thought" and the reasons behind its transformation. It is a powerful work that bridges the gap between "intellectual history" and "social history."
