Morio - Doyo

Also read as "Toyo." A scholar and politician from the Jin Dynasty in China. Born in Duling (Shaanxi Province). His courtesy name was Yuan Kai. He served as the Governor of Henan and Governor of Qinzhou, and was the Grand General of the Southern Region. He was made the Marquis of Dangyang County for his achievement in subjugating Wu, but in his later years he devoted himself to learning. His works include "Shunju Jingchuan Jiji" and "Shunju Shakurei." "Shunju Jingchuan Jiji" brings together the classic texts of the "Shunju" and "Zuo Zhuan," which had been separate until then, into one book, separates the texts of "Zuo Zhuan" to correspond to the classic texts, establishes the theory of the Spring and Autumn Examples, and culminates Zuo Zhuan studies as the Spring and Autumn Studies. In the "Spring and Autumn Commentaries" (Shuiyushu), he concretely explained the examples in the "Spring and Autumn Annals," and also examined and illustrated place names, genealogies, calendar dates, etc. In terms of interpretation, he also collected the best annotations by Confucian scholars, and established the position of the "Zuo Zhuan" in the study of the Spring and Autumn Annals.

「とよ」とも読む。中国、晋(しん)代の学者、政治家。杜陵(どりょう)（陝西(せんせい)省）の人。字(あざな)は元凱(げんがい)。河南尹(かなんいん)、秦(しん)州刺史(しし)などを歴任し、鎮南大将軍となった。呉(ご)を平定した功により当陽県侯に封ぜられたが、晩年は学問に専注した。著書に『春秋経伝集解(しゅんじゅうけいでんしっかい)』『春秋釈例』などがある。『春秋経伝集解』は、従来『春秋』の経文と『左氏伝(さしでん)』とが別になっていたものを一書にまとめ、経文に対応するように『左氏伝』の文を分け、春秋義例説を確立し、春秋学としての左氏学を集大成した。『春秋釈例』（輯佚(しゅういつ)書）では、『春秋』の義例を具体的に説明するとともに、土地名、系譜、暦日などを考証・図解した。また訓詁(くんこ)面でも、先儒の注のよいものを集めて、春秋学における『左氏伝』の地位を位置づけた。
