荀子是先秦集诸子大成的儒家大师,清代以前从事荀子其人及其学说研究的学者却是凤毛麟角。近代以来“诸子学”研究可谓是成果丰硕,“荀学”研究自然也不例外。本文针对20世纪20-40年代的“荀学”研究进行分析,认为大致可以分为五个流派。这些流派又分别影响了20世纪后半期的“荀学”研究。 Xunzi is a master of Confucianism in the early Qin Dynasty. Before the Qing Dynasty, scholars engaged in the research of Xunzi’s people and their theories were rare. Since modern times, the study of “philosophers” can be described as fruitful, and “Xun Xue” research is no exception. This paper analyzes the research of “Xun Xue” in 1920s and 1940s in the 20th century, and thinks that it can be divided into five schools. Each of these genres also influenced the study of “Xun Xue” in the second half of the 20th century.
