毛奇龄是明末清初学术转型的过程中颇有个性的人物,他批驳程朱理学,认为其所奉行的权威经典有极不妥帖之处,有的甚至篡改了经的最初含意。又极力推崇汉学,提出了治经的新方法,并对经学的很多内容加以解释。虽然他所提倡的一些观点有较为偏激之处,但是在正确的分辨其中的是非之后,应该对其在复兴汉学的过程中所应具有的地位作出客观的评价。毛奇龄对经重新的解释以及其提出的经学注释的方法,是具有可取性的,其对复兴汉学的推动力也是不可忽视的,毛奇龄可以称为清代“汉学”的启蒙性人物。 Mao Qi-ling was a rather personal figure in the process of academic transformation from the late Ming and early Qing dynasties. He criticized Cheng’s Neo-Confucianism theory for thinking that the authoritative classics it practiced had extremely improper features and that some even tampered with the original meaning of the Confucian classics. But also strongly advocated Sinology, put forward a new method of treatment, and explained a lot of content of Confucian classics. Although some of the ideas he advocates are rather radical, after correctly judging the right and wrong, we should make an objective assessment of his position in the process of reviving Sinology. Mao Qiling’s re-explanation and the proposed method of scholarly annotation are desirable, and his driving force for the revival of Sinology can not be ignored. Mao Qiling can be called the Enlightening Person of the Qing Dynasty.
