This book is the first comprehensive study in a Western language of
Liu Tsung-yiian (773-819), a major literary and intellectual figure in
Chinese history. The main aspects of Liu's life and work are explored:
the social and cultural background of his family, his relationship with
the
ku-wen
prose reform and new canonical scholarship in the mid-T'ang,
his social and political criticism, his views on Confucian doctrine, and
his sentiments and reflections regarding the private realm of human life.
But the scope of this study goes beyond the "life and work" of this
principal intellectual figure. With his special emphasis on the connec-
tions between Liu's thought and mid-T'ang intellectual change, the
author offers a new interpretation of the origins of the T'ang-Sung
intellectual transition. Through a comparison of Liu's ideas with those of
other major Confucian thinkers, Jo-shui Chen modifies the conventional
view that the mid-T'ang Confucian revival led by Han Yii (768-824)
and Liu Tsung-yiian was a precursor of Sung Neo-Confucianism. He
suggests that the mid-T'ang Confucian movement was essentially a
revival of an old form of Confucianism and that Liu's was a powerful
voice expressing this sentiment. But some new elements, particularly
certain ideas held by Han Yii and his followers, emerged in this revival,
finally paving the way for the burgeoning of Neo-Confucian metaphysical
and moral philosophy.
