First of all, pay attention to the relationship between the pronunciation and meaning of words.
Pre-Qin exegetics attached great importance to the relationship between glyphs, sounds and meanings. When exegetists interpret words, they will deeply discuss the relationship between glyphs and meanings, as well as the relationship between pronunciation and meanings. By comparing the evolution process of different glyphs, this paper analyzes the changing law of word sounds, so as to understand the meaning of words more accurately and provide strong support for the interpretation of ancient documents.
Secondly, it emphasizes the importance of context and pragmatics.
Pre-Qin exegetics attached great importance to the study of context and pragmatics. When exegetists interpret words in ancient documents, they will explore from the specific context and pragmatics to reveal the true meaning of words in the specific context.
Through the analysis of context, we can understand the position and function of words in sentences, so as to grasp their meanings more accurately. This emphasis on context and pragmatics enables pre-Qin exegetics to explain ancient documents more accurately.
Third, profound cultural background.
The research object of exegetics in pre-Qin dynasty is ancient literature, which contains rich ancient culture, history and thoughts. Therefore, the study of exegetics in the pre-Qin period needs a profound cultural background to better understand the deep meaning and thoughts in ancient documents.
Through in-depth study of ancient culture and dabbling in ancient history, philosophy and other disciplines, exegetists have formed a rich cultural accumulation, which has provided strong support for people's research.
Fourth, interdisciplinary research methods.
Pre-Qin exegetics not only involves philology, but also interpenetrates with history, philosophy and other disciplines. When exegetists interpret words in ancient documents, they will take into account historical background, philosophical thinking and other factors, so as to understand the meaning of words more accurately.
This interdisciplinary research method enables pre-Qin exegetics to examine ancient documents from multiple angles and reveal their deep meanings and thoughts more comprehensively.
Fifth, pay attention to textual research and empirical research.
Textual research is the main research method of pre-Qin exegetics. Exegetics scholars conduct empirical research through in-depth study of ancient documents in terms of glyphs, phonetics and semantics, so as to reveal the true face of ancient culture, history and thought.
By comparing different versions of ancient books, this paper analyzes their similarities and differences in order to draw more accurate conclusions. This emphasis on textual research and empirical research makes the research results of pre-Qin exegetics have high credibility and academic value.
