Kong Yingda’s Woven Commentary
Résumé
This paper shows how Kong Yingda 孔穎達 (574-648) builds on Zheng Xuan and Mao's commentaries of the Shijing 詩經 (Classic of Poetry) to produce a new type of commentary as a means to promote an epistemological culture based on solid and identified references. To reach such aims, Kong Yingda's commentary is easy to read thanks to a rhetoric strategy based on the use of narratives to explain poems. This choice may look like a natural development of Mao's prefaces. Its expansion is most probably due to its author's pedagogical pursuit.
