The prohibition of false education

Japanese: 偽学の禁 - ぎがくのきん

This incident occurred during the Qingyuan era (1195-1200) in the Southern Song Dynasty of China, when Zhu Xi (the son) and his school were oppressed. It is also called the Qingyuan Party Ban. It began in 1194 (the 5th year of the Shaoxi era, when Zhu Xi was 65 years old), when Zhu Xi, who had been promoted from a local official to a political advisor to the emperor, criticized the tyranny of Han Lai-chu, a relative of the empress. Han Lai-chu and his followers denigrated Zhu Xi's new learning, which was then called Taoism, as "fake learning," and called the group a "fake party" and even a "reverse party," creating a blacklist (fake learning and reverse party membership), blocking their path to government office and banning their writings and the circulation of the Six Classics and Four Books.

中国南宋の慶元年間(1195‐1200)，朱熹（しゆき）(子)とその学派に加えられた弾圧事件。〈慶元の党禁〉ともいう。1194年(紹熙5，朱熹65歳)，地方官から皇帝の政治顧問官に昇進した朱熹が，外戚(皇后の親族)の韓侂冑（かんたくちゆう）の専横を批判したのが事の起こりである。韓侂冑とその一派は，当時〈道学〉と呼ばれていた朱熹の新しい学問を〈偽学〉と貶称し，そのグループを〈偽党〉さらには〈逆党〉と呼んでそのブラック･リスト(偽学逆党籍)を作り，かれらの任官の道を閉ざし，その著述および六経･四書の流布を禁じた。
