Title: Approving Zheng Xuan against Wang Su on the Arguments of Maoshi Refutation Written by Wang Ji
Abstract: Wang Ji was a famous scholar in studying Book of Songs during Wei and Jin Dynasties. The book Maoshi Refutation is one of his representatives. As a result of this book's disappearing, the academic circles' study on the book is not satisfactory. Based on related information and detailed research on the relationship between this book and that written by Zheng Xuan and Wang Su, it is concluded that approving Zheng Xuan against Wang Su is the basic academic tendency of Maoshi Refutation and proving poem with history as well as mutual prove between poem and history is Wang Ji's basic academic method. However, using some untenable arguments to expain poems and lacking detailed investigation to the related history records lead to inadequacy in counterarguing some points about poems.
