Dangyokusai - Dangyokusai

A scholar from the mid-late Qing Dynasty in China. His courtesy name was Ruoying and his title was Maotang. He was from Jintan County, Jiangsu Province. In 1760 (the 25th year of the Qianlong era), he was appointed as a juren (regent) and became the prefect of Wushan County, Sichuan Province, but soon resigned to devote himself to his studies. When he went to the capital for the first time, he met Dai Zhen and accepted him as his disciple. He composed the "Shijing Yunpu" and "Qunjing Yunpu," and following on from Gu Yanwu's ten ancient rhymes and Jiang Yong's thirteen, he divided the Shijing Yunpu into three parts, Zhi, Shi, and Zhi, and created a seventeen-part theory. In 1773, Dai Zhen, who did not approve of his work at first, sent him a letter of high praise, which bore fruit in the form of the Six Scripts Yinyun Table, which he published in 1815 as part of his lifelong endeavor to compile the 30-volume Shuowen Annotated Texts. The fruits of his research into ancient rhymes can be seen in his works such as Annotated Different Commentaries on Ancient Texts, Annotated Texts on Mao's Poetry, Annotated Texts on the Book of Songs, and Annotated Texts on the Book of Songs. One of his collections is the Jingyun Lou Anthology.

中国、清(しん)朝中葉後期の学者。字(あざな)は若膺(じゃくよう)、号は懋堂(もどう)。江蘇(こうそ)省金壇(きんだん)県の人。1760年（乾隆25）の挙人で、四川(しせん)省巫山(ふざん)県の知県となるが、まもなく辞し学問に専心した。初めて都に出たとき、戴震(たいしん)に会い、弟子の礼をとる。「詩経韵譜(いんぷ)」「群経韵譜」をつくり、顧炎武(こえんぶ)が古韻十部、江永(こうえい)が十三部をたてたのに継ぎ、支(し)・脂(し)・之(し)の三部を分け十七部説をたてた。初めは承認しなかった戴震から激賞の手紙を受け（1773）、これが「六書音韵(りくしょおんいん)表」として結実したのを、終生の努力を積んで成った『説文(せつもん)解字注』全30巻に付して刊刻した（1815）。その著『古文尚書撰異(せんい)』『毛詩詁訓(こくん)伝』『詩経小学』『周礼(しゅらい)漢読考』などにこの古韻研究の成果が一貫してみられる。集に『経韵楼集』がある。
