Keito - Keito

A Chinese scholar of the early Qing dynasty. His pen name was Dingyu and his pen name was Songya. He was from Yuanhe County (Wu County), Jiangsu Province. He was the third generation of a family of scholars, with his grandfather Zhou Shu and his father Shiqi (1671-1741), and his studies are known as those of the Hui clan of Wu and the Sanhui. He was passionate about studying ancient teachings from the Han dynasty, and built the foundation for Qing dynasty classics to be known as Qing dynasty Sinology, earning the respect of Qian Daxin, Dai Zhen and others. In 1750 (the 15th year of Qianlong), an imperial decree was issued calling for scholars with a penchant for classical Chinese study. The Governor-General recommended Huidong in a memorial that stated, "He is well versed in the classics and history, and his learning has its roots in history," which is known to be a good expression of the basic characteristics of Qing dynasty textual research. Although he accepted the recommendation, he immediately returned home to devote himself to writing, and died on May 22, 1758. In his work, "Shui Shu Shu," he expresses dissatisfaction with the commentaries on the Yi by Wang Bi of the Wei dynasty, which were based on the study of Laozi and Zhuangzi, and sheds light on the study of the Yi in the Han dynasty. His work, "Kobun Shangshu Ko," presents, phrase by phrase, the sources of the fake classical texts that Yan Ruoying had demonstrated in the early Qing dynasty. His works include "Ancient Meanings of the Nine Classics," "Commentary on the Book of the Later Han," "Commentary on the Taishang Ganying Chapter," and "Annotated Compendium of the Essence of the Gyoyo Mountain Ren," which is an annotated version of Wang Shizhen's poetry.

中国、清(しん)朝前期の学者。字(あざな)は定宇(ていう)、号は松崖(しょうがい)。江蘇(こうそ)省元和(げんな)県（呉(ご)県）の人。祖父の周惕(しゅうてき)、父の士奇(しき)（1671―1741）と、学者の続いた家の3代目に生まれ、呉郡恵氏の学、三恵の学とよばれる。漢代の古訓の探究に熱心で、清朝経学が清朝漢学ともよばれる基盤を築き、銭大昕(せんたいきん)・戴震(たいしん)らの敬意を集める。1750年（乾隆15）経明行修の士を求めるとの詔(みことのり)で、総督が恵棟を推挙した上奏文にあった「博(ひろ)く経史に通じ、学に淵源(えんげん)あり」の句は、いわゆる清朝考証学の基本的性格をよく表現したものとして知られる。推挙には応じたが、すぐ帰郷して著述に専念し、1758年5月22日に卒(しゅっ)した。その著『周易述』は、魏(ぎ)の王弼(おうひつ)の易注が老荘の学にたつのを不満とし、漢代の易学を明らかにする。『古文尚書考』は清初に閻若璩(えんじゃくきょ)が論証した偽(ぎ)古文の典拠を句ごとに示す。『九経古義』『後漢書(ごかんじょ)補注』『太上(だいじょう)感応篇(へん)注』、王士禎(おうしてい)の詩に注した『漁洋山人精華録訓纂(くんさん)』などがある。
