Discussion and Consideration of Sinology (Zi Hai Essences)

Discussion and Consideration of Sinology is the representative and famous work of Fang Dongshu in Qing Dynasty. In his whole life, he respected Zhu Zi's knowledge and challenged Sinology, so he had Discussion and Consideration of Sinology, which can be said to be 'the great criticism of Sinology's pernicious disclosure'. Mr. Qi Yongxiang took Wang Sanyi Zhai's textbook as the base, referred to Daoguang's textbook, supplemented the complete edition and published the wrong edition. And according to Zihai series of collation standards, sorts out them. Discussion and Consideration of Sinology has always been controversial, with different opinions. After Fang Dongshu's criticism, the disadvantages of Sinology were all obvious, and it declined from then on. To a certain extent, it increased the struggle between Sinology and Song School. But what cannot be ignored is Fang Dongshu's deep family class and bad writing style. It is also one of the significance of the collation of this academic debate that modern people look back on this academic debate.
