"In antiquity, those who studied the Classics did not drown in etymological glosses. They did not wind up in farfetched explanations. Neither were they deluded by debates and theories, nor did they get stuck in airy and distant [irrelevancies]. In this way, they knew the constant Tao of the sages and thus were outstanding scholars.

The study of etymology became prominent in the Hah and was completed in the T'ang. Study of theory began in the T'ang and became prominent in the Sung. Both [traditions] went a little too far, however. Etymologists, if they reach farfetched explanations, and theorists, if they wind up in airy and distant studies, must both be criticized."

В открытом доступе лежит Classicism, Politics, and Kinship: The Ch'ang-chou School of New Text Confucianism in Late Imperial China Элмана. Силища! логическая и словарная жилистость. Единственное неудобство - плохо отсканенный китайский глоссарий.

Единственный фактор, который я не могу оценить - это тотальность библиографии. Приходится верить.
