Abstract
The debate between Han Learning and Song Learning was an important
scholarly issue in the mid-Qing Dynasty. Currently most scholars concur
that the Annotated Catalog, which was compiled and edited in the Qianlong
Period to accompany the Complete Library of the Four Treasuries, basically
supported the position of Han Learning in that debate, even taking the
direction of repressing Song Learning.
However, what has been less noticed is that, when the Qianlong
emperor decreed the editing of the Complete Library of the Four Treasuries
in the thirty-seventh year of his reign (1772), what mattered was not Han,
but Song Learning. The works which were decreed to be collected were to
be centered around the Song Learning works of the study of mind and nature,
2
as well as on government and humanity; and in addition there were to be
Han Learning works of annotations and evidential scholarship on
regulations and edicts, together with works of philosophers. These works
outside of Song Learning had to be in accord with useful purposes in order
to be considered for inclusion. From this standpoint, the Qianlong
emperor’s original request was for Song Learning, and most importantly
for something of practical value. Despite this, after the opening of the
office of the Complete Library of the Four Treasuries, the Annotated
Catalog as produced by its officials “in accord with the wishes of the
emperor,” instead criticized Song Learning and promoted the works of
evidential scholarship according to Han Learning. This clearly differed
from the original intent of the emperor. Why was this; and how would the
emperor have been able to accept this kind of change? This is definitely
a problem worth serious consideration. The goal of this study is to find
a reasonable explanation which might resolve this problem using reliable
literary materials. At the same time, this study will discuss the
Complete Library of the Four Treasuries itself, and how it stands in the
process of the ebb and flow of Han and Song Learning.
