Jia Kui - Oyster

A thinker and scholar of exegesis in the Eastern Han Dynasty in ancient China. He was from Pingling (Xingping County, Shaanxi Province). He was the son of Emperor Hui. His courtesy name was Jingbo. He is said to have recited the Zuo Zhuan and the Five Classics from memory at a young age. He studied under Liu Xin, and during the reign of Emperor Ming (reigned 58-75), he completed 30 chapters of the Zuo Zhuan Exegesis and 21 chapters of the National Language Exegesis, which he presented to the Ming Emperor, who copied them and had them stored in the imperial library. Emperor Zhang (reigned 75-88) selected outstanding students and sent them to Jia Kui to study the Zuo Zhuan. From then on, the Zuo Zhuan became very popular. Jia Kui also compiled the "Office of the Minister of Ouyang," "Office of the Minister of Da Xia Hou," and "Office of the Minister of Little Xia Hou" which are similarities and differences between ancient writings, as well as the differences between the three poems of Qi, Lu, and Han and Mao's poems, and wrote the "Classic and Zhuan Yi Quan" and "Discourses on Difficulties," totaling over a million words, for which he was known as a Confucian scholar. He held the position of Minister during the reign of Emperor He (reigned 88-105). His biography appears in the "Book of the Later Han." There is a section titled "Questions about Jia Kui" in the "Mengqiu."

中国古代、後漢(ごかん)の思想家、訓詁(くんこ)学者。平陵(へいりょう)（陝西(せんせい)省興平県）の人。徽(き)の子。字(あざな)は景伯。幼少にして『左氏伝(さしでん)』および五経をそらんじていたという。劉歆(りゅうきん)に師事し、明帝（在位58～75）のとき、『左氏伝解詁』30篇(ぺん)、『国語解詁』21篇を完成して献上、明帝はこれを書写して宮中の図書館に所蔵させた。章帝（在位75～88）は優秀な学生を選抜して賈逵のもとに送り込み、『左氏伝』を習得させた。これから『左氏伝』は世に盛行するようになった。賈逵はまた『欧陽尚書(おうようしょうしょ)』『大夏侯(だいかこう)尚書』『小夏侯尚書』古文の同異および斉魯韓(せいろかん)三詩と毛詩との異同を撰(せん)して『経伝義詁』『論難』百余万言を著し、通儒と称された。官職は和帝（在位88～105）のとき侍中(じちゅう)に至る。『後漢書(ごかんじょ)』に伝記がある。『蒙求(もうぎゅう)』に「賈逵問事」の一段がある。
