- Abstract
The Chunqiu ... (Spring and Autumn Annals) documents in many places the flight from the country of the Emperor, seigneurs, and governmental officials. While the meaning and impact of the seigneurs fleeing the country has been addressed mainly in terms of historical and social changes, the question of how Confucian scholars have interpreted these flights, and whether they viewed them as righteous choices, has yet to be studied. This paper will compare the interpretations of such flights of seigneurs by three important Song Dynasty scholars—Sun Fu ..., Liu Chang ... and Sun Jue .... The explanations of the Chunqiu by these three scholars are similar in form but distinct in kind. This paper will not only investigate the meaning of the Confucian idea of righteousness in the Chunqiu, but will also illustrate the problems of interpretation associated with the Chunqiu.
