Abstract
Abstract At the beginning of Qing Dynasty, due to the changes of politics, economy, society and academic environment, the Neo- Confucianism produced a new academic trend and the traditional lecture was over. The thesis focus on Xie-Wen-Jian(謝文洊), he experienced subjugation, failed to exam then he changed his ideology from Buddhism to the Wang-Yang-Ming school(陽明學) and insisted on lectures. After communicating with scholars, he finally returned to Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism(程朱理學) then set up the Cheng-Shan school(程山學派), became a lecture leader in Nang-Feng County of Jiang-Xi Province (江西南豐) in the late Ming and early Qing Dynasty. According to the relationship between Xie-Wen-Jian and the Cheng-Shan school, it tried to analyze the rise of Cheng-Shan school from the background of his birth, social conditions, school events, geographical environment, dogma and ideology. The school finally went down to the fate of declining because of no successors. This article explores the management, resources, personal networks, writings and sacrifices of a local school from the perspective of family history. It observed how the Nang-Feng Xies developed into the Cheng-Shan family from immigrants and how it developed into a lesser branch because of Xie-Wen-Jian's cultural industry. Xie-Ming-Qian(謝鳴謙) played an important role in Cheng-Shan Xies. Through the process of compiling his branch records, he helped readers understand how muh effort the family put into the sacrificial worship of the memorial shrine, Xiangxian Shrine and the academy after the school was over, making Xie-Wen-Jian become the important figure in the development of Nang-Feng Neo-Confucianism history. This work looks forward to the development of Xie-Wen-Jian and Cheng-Shan school so that we can understand the local Neo-Confucianism in the early Qing Dynasty. The interaction between the school and the family makes a new interpretation of the operation mode of local school.
