What is Mao Kongjian Shu?

Mao Zhuan is Mao Heng's annotation to The Book of Songs in Han Dynasty. They are called Biography of Mao Poems, which means to clarify Confucian classics. During the Eastern Han Dynasty, Zheng Xuan also wrote an annotation for Mao's poems, which was named Biography of Mao's Poems, which was called Zheng Annotation for short. Annotation means supplement and revision.

Confucius Shu is the interpretation of the Five Classics by Confucius in the early years of Tang Dynasty, which includes both the interpretation of the text and the interpretation of predecessors' notes.

From this, we can spy out the development track of exegetical terms from random to standard and from single to system during the 800 years of Han and Tang Dynasties, which is helpful for us to clearly see the development level of exegetical discipline in each stage: the early Western Han Dynasty was in an important development stage, the middle and late Eastern Han Dynasty had developed to a prosperous stage, and the Tang Dynasty was a further development stage.
