Title: An account and comments on QIAN Zheng-Shu's views on Yi Lin
Abstract: Mr. QIAN Zhong-shu, venerated as the Mont Kunlun of culture by modern literary scholars, had highly praised Lin written by JIAO Yan-shou of the Han Dynasty in the sense of poetry: It could almost be respected, like the Book of Poetry, as a model formulating the four-character poem rules. In his writing of Guan Zui Bian, Mr. QIAN arranged a special subject of JIAOs Lin and accounted 30 sets of the 64 hexagrams, relating hundreds of four-character lines of verses. Departing from the aspects of creating circumstances with metaphors, proposing and transforming images, wonderfulness of word-choice, and comparing vertically and horizontally, Mr. QIAN made a painstaking analysis on its literary value, making Lin's literary sense outstanding on the literary background of the Han Dynasty. But Mr. QIAN, viewing Yi Lin from textual self-sufficiency, held that it was unnecessary to clarify whether the author of Lin was JIAO Yan-shou or CUI Tuan. To this, this paper raised an objection.
