Summary of the ancient roads

Books written by Hirata Atsutane. 2 volumes. In 1804 (Bunka 1), he became independent under the name Masugenoya and gave lectures to his disciples, which he had his disciples transcribing in the 11th year. These are "The Summary of the Ancient Ways," "The Summary of Popular Shintoism," "A Summary of the Western Lands," "Shutsujo Shogo," "The Stonework of Shizu," "Ibuki Oroshi," and "The Summary of the Way of Poetry." This book explains how the imperial line has continued since the beginning of the world, and how our country is superior to other nations in terms of things and practices, but it owes much to Motoori Norinaga's "Naobi no Mitama," and although Atsutane's original ideas can be seen, it is known that in this early stage the work was strongly influenced by Norinaga's work.

平田篤胤(あつたね)の著書。2巻。1804年（文化1）真菅乃屋(ますげのや)と称して自立してから門人に対して講説したものを、11年門人に筆記させた。「古道大意」「俗神道大意(ぞくしんとうたいい)」「西籍慨論(せいせきがいろん)」「出定笑語(しゅつじょうしょうご)」「志都(しづ)の石屋(いわや)」「気吹於呂志(いぶきおろし)」「歌道大意」である。本書は、天地の初発(はじめ)以来皇統が続き、物も事(わざ)もわが国は万国に優れていることなどについて説いたものであるが、多くを本居宣長(もとおりのりなが)の『直毘霊(なおびのみたま)』に負うており、篤胤独自の考えもうかがわれるものの、この初期の段階では宣長の著書の強い影響下にあることが知られる。
