Chinrei

A scholar from the late Qing Dynasty in China. His pen name was Lanfu and he was known by the pen name Tojuku. He was from Panyu, Guangdong Province. At first he was devoted to poetry, but after failing the Kaishi (examination for Jinshi) seven times in a row, he devoted himself to his studies. He served as a lecturer at the Xuehaitang (a school founded by Ruan Yuan in 1820) and other schools, and wrote over 60 books on a wide range of subjects, including astronomy, geography, calendar calculation, phonology, and music theory. His academic style is well conveyed in the 7 volumes of "Hanjutsu Tsugi" (The Meaning of Confucianism) and the 25 volumes of "Tojuku Readings," in which he believed in the so-called "seeking truth from facts" of Sinology and respected the learning of Zheng Xuan, but at the same time he placed importance on the so-called "applying the law of the world" of Song Dynasty learning and also valued the learning of Zhu Xi (Zhu Xi). This impartial and non-partisan attitude was probably due to the fact that the situation of the times, which was filled with internal and external troubles since the Opium Wars, no longer allowed conflict between Sinology and Song Dynasty learning. There are 6 volumes of "Tojuku Shu."

中国、清(しん)代末期の学者。字(あざな)は蘭甫(らんぽ)、号して東塾(とうじゅく)。広東(カントン)省番禺(ばんぐ)の人。初め詩作に腐心していたが、会試（進士の試験）に連続して七度応じて落第するに及んで、学問に専念した。学海堂（阮元(げんげん)が1820年に創建した学舎）などの主講を務め、かたわら天文、地理、暦算、音韻(おんいん)、楽律など多方面にわたる著書60余種を残している。その学風は『漢儒通義』7巻、『東塾読書記』25巻によく伝えられていて、漢学のいわゆる実事求是(じつじきゅうぜ)を信奉して鄭玄(じょうげん)の学を尊重するが、同時に宋学(そうがく)のいわゆる経世致用(けいせいちよう)を重視して朱熹(しゅき)（朱子）の学問をも重んじる、という風であった。この不偏不党の態度はけだし、アヘン戦争以来の内憂外患の時代情況がもはや漢学・宋学の対立を許さなくなったことに由来しよう。『東塾集』6巻がある。
