| dc.description.abstract | Duan, Yu-Cai (1735-1815) was really famous and had a lot of followers and his Shuo Wen Jie Zi Zhu was the representative work of Shuo Wen research in Ching dynasty. However, searching for the works about Shuo Wen of Duan’s followers, there was only Shen, Tao (1792-1861). Therefore, Shen, Tao Shuo Wen Gu Ben Kao has the academic historic meaning to longitudinally hand down Duan Zhu Shuo Wen. Shuo Wen Gu Ben Kao was not published before his death. Tao, Fang-Chi Hna Zi Shi Wen Chao said: “The drafts had been revised for seven times and never been finalized.”, and as a result, it was not spread widely. Shuo Wen Jie Zi Gu Lin also mentioned its spreading works were so few and hard to find. Hence, Shen, Tao Shuo Wen Gu Ben Kao was not as widespread as Wang, Yun (1784-1854) Shuo Wen Shi Li and Shuo Wen Ju Du. Furthermore, as the researcher knows, there are no particular work discusses about Shen, Tao Shuo Wen Gu Ben Kao so far. Owing to what mentioned above, whether in then or now, it has caused a period of blank of academic history research of Shuo Wen in Ching dynasty. The researcher chose Shen, Tao Shuo Wen Gu Ben Kao as researching subject and hopes to make up the blank.
The purpose Shen, Tao wrote Shuo Wen Gu Ben Kao was because the present version of Shuo Wen was revised by Xu, Xuan and Xu, Kai and there’s a lot of mistakes. At the time, the revisions of other version of Shuo Wen and the examples set up about Shuo Wen had reached a certain standard. The Shuo Wen Gu Ben Kao of Shen, Tao was different from other revised works of Shuo Wen; it named Gu Ben Kao and was through quoting Shuo Wen before Tang dynasty to compare the difference with present work and discussed its advantages and disadvantages. Besides, Shen’s Gu Ben Kao was different from previous scholars, such as Yan, Ke-Jun and Niu, Shu-Yu, who only listed out the data and didn’t conclude. Shen tried to make a conclusion through other works discussing about Shuo Wen and examples of Shuo Wen, and to restore a more clear feature of original version of Shuo Wen.
In this research, the researcher tries to use comparative study and reviews Shen, Tao research about Shuo Wen in the thread of history of academic, and hopes to see the advantages and disadvantages of Shen, Tao revision about Shuo Wen and the difference between other Ching dynasty researchers’ theories of Shuo Wen. Among the researchers of Shuo Wen in Ching dynasty, the researcher chose Duan, Yu-Cai, Wang, Yun, Gui, Fu, Yan, Ke-Jun and Niu, Shu-Yu as reference. Shen, Tao academic works passed down from Duan, Yu-Cai were compared with Duan which provided longitudinally handed-down meaning of academic history. Wang, Yun, who was about the same period with Shen, Tao, was one of the four masters of Shuo Wen in Ching dynasty. Wang, Yun Shuo Wen Ju Du was the specialized revised work of Shuo Wen and was admired of the best one. The work mentioned clearly that it could be established up because it referred to the works of Duan, Yu-Cai, Gui, Fu and Yan, Ke-Jun. Shen, Tao Shuo Wen Gu Ben Kao also quoted much from those scholars’ work at that time which revealed that both of them could imbibe the researching result of former scholars. Therefore, comparing Shen, Tao with Wang, Yun has horizontal and contrasted meaning in academic meaning. In addition, Gui, Fu, Yan, Ke-Jun and Niu, Shu-Yu were also the masters of Shuo Wen in Ching dynasty and comparing with their works interactively would concretely present the advantages and disadvantages of the revision of Shen, Tao Shuo Wen Gu Ben Kao; from this, there will be a more objective judgment aboutShuo Wen Gu Ben Kao in academic value and position.
