Abstract:
As the real founder of the science of historical data of Chinese hilosophy history, Mr. Zhu Qianzhi completed The Science of Historical Data of Chinese Philosophy History as the first such dissertation in Chinese history. He contributed considerably to the science of historical data of Chinese philosophy history mainly in six ways. First of all, style rules and layout were to be designed by taking the key works as topics. Next, a science of historical data of Chinese philosophy history was to be defined through steady development. Still next, historical data about philosophy in the Yin and the Shang Dynasty were to be interpreted by triple-evidence approach. Even next, the course of evolution of study of change was to be described by dividing it into three periods. Then, historical data of Zhuangzi’s philosophy were to be carded by three-school analysis. Finally, historical data of modern thoughts were to be arranged by “rejecting the dross and assimilating the essential”. Generally, Zhu’s studies in historical data of Chinese philosophy history were of clear academic concept, firm academic stand and self-conscious methodology.
