宋朝建立之后,统治者针对五代以来许多文人学士急功近利、不顾名节、败坏士风的状况,重视改革学风与重建文化精神。宋代学风的转变始于北宋庆历年间对传统笺注经学的疑古思辨。当时,欧阳修撰《诗本义》,率先批评毛公、郑玄的《诗》序;又撰《易童子问》,认为《系辞》、《文言》非孔子言。还有,司马光撰《疑孟》,王安石撰《三经新义》等等,都以突破唐章句经学为特征。疑古是为了转变学风,因为,只有对传统文化采取批判继承态度,而不是全盘接受态度,才能使文人学士们提高理论思辨水 Since the establishment of the Song Dynasty, many rulers of the literary world have been making quick success and failing for fame since the Five Dynasties, ruining the status quo of the geniuses and attaching importance to reforming their style of study and rebuilding their cultural spirit. The change of style of study in the Song Dynasty began with the suspicion and doubt of the traditional Annotated Confucian classics in the Qing Dynasty during the Northern Song Dynasty. At that time, Ouyang Xiu wrote “The Original Meaning of Poetry” and took the lead in criticizing the preface of “Poems” by Mao Gong and Zheng Xuan. In addition, he wrote “Yi Tongzi asked” and considered non-Confucian words as “Ci speech” and “classical Chinese”. Also, Sima Guangzhi “suspect Meng”, Wang Anshi wrote “three classics new meaning” and so on, all to break the Tang chapter sentence by classics are characterized. Suspicion is to change the style of study, because only by adopting the attitude of critical inheritance to traditional culture rather than accepting the attitude in an entirely acceptable manner can literary scholars improve their theoretical thinking
