张惠言是晚清今文学兴起中的关键人物,他的学问介于朴学与晚清今文学的交界点上,他做的汉《易》学上承惠栋。然而根据现有材料,以考证的方法来复原虞翻《易》学,只能是破碎的。张氏不取考证学的方法,而是抽绎出虞翻《易》学的精义,再加入自己的体会,建构出虞翻卦象的结构体系,再凭借这个体系来笺释虞翻《易》注。这种方法富有创造性,也算是今文经学的一个重要特点。同时,张惠言的礼学,也非考证礼学,而是与公羊家的礼学相通。他会通《易》与礼,其实也蕴含着公羊学在其中。张惠言的方法传给刘逢禄,同时对黄以周、曹元弼等也有影响。 Zhang Huiyan was a critical figure in the rising of Jinwen xue (New Text classicism), whose learning
stood in the interface between puxue (plain learning) and Jinwen xue in the late Qing Dynasty. His study of I Ch⁃ing learning of the Han Dynasty inherited Hui Dong. However, the textual research, with the current materials, which were used to restore Yu Fan’s I Ching learning, were only broken. Rather than following the textual research, Zhang Huiyan constructed the structural system in Yu Fan’s Gua (hexagrams) through expounding the essence in Yu Fan’s I Ching learning mingled with his own understandings, which was further employed to make commentaries on Yu Fan’s annotations of I Ching. This creative explanation was one of the most important characteristics in the New Text classicism. Moreover, Zhang’s study of rituals was not the rituals of textual research, but in harmony with that of the Gongyang Scholars in the Spring and Autumn period. Actually, Zhang Huiyan’s mastery of I Ching and ritual learning also implied the learning of Gongyang School. Methods adopted by Zhang Hui⁃yan were handed down to Liu Fenglu, and further affected Huang Yizhou, Cao Yuanbi and the others.
