Controversial Study Challenges Authorship of Confucius' Sayings in Ancient Texts
OU Yang xiu's Questions Asked by the Lad Learning Yi criticizes flaws in the Commentaries of Zhouyi, suggesting they were not written by Confucius. The paper argues that only parts of Tuan Zhuan contain the true essence of Zhouyi, while other chapters are unrelated to Confucius. It dismisses the idea that Shuo gua Zhuan was authored by Confucius and questions the compatibility of different methods for forming hexagrams. Ultimately, the paper emphasizes the importance of distinguishing authentic Confucian teachings within the text.
