Paper Summary

The article discusses why WANG Chuan-shan criticized ZHU Xi's theory of Guoyuzhong in relation to QU Yuan. WANG Chuan-shan valued QU Yuan highly, but disagreed with ZHU Xi's views on cultural spirit. WANG Chuan-shan believed in promoting a robust cultural spirit for national salvation, while ZHU Xi advocated for a more gentle and elegant cultural approach. This clash of cultural ideals led to WANG Chuan-shan's criticism of ZHU Xi's theory in the General Explanation of Chuci.
