| Abstract | There is abundant research on the examination system, and to a lesser degree, some research on the lower level of the educational system in late imperial China. The extant sources are predominantly written from above—that is, administrators and officials setting the aims of schooling in counties and villages—but the voices of the pupils/students and their teachers are absent. Therefore, compared with earlier sources, the book Cunxue jiuyu 村學究語 [Words of a Village Schoolteacher], written by Liu Hengdian 劉恆典 (1809–1884) and published in 1864, gives us unique insight and a different perspective. Here, Liu describes his own experiences of teaching, and comments on other teachers, attitudes of parents, and dynamism of students. Furthermore, he develops his philosophy of pedagogy. The text shows that he rests on a long tradition of how to read the classics and that this method is intertwined with the aims of self-cultivation. It also shows that he follows the Neo-Confucian tradition of both Zhu Xi and Wang Yangming, and that he is searching for an authoritative teaching style rather than an authoritarian one. |
