About the author
Sun Yirang (1848–1908), courtesy name Zhongrong and style name Zhouqing, was a native of Rui'an, Zhejiang, and a late Qing scholar of classical studies and philology. A prolific author, he wrote more than thirty works, including The Correct Meaning of the Rites of Zhou, Supplementary Commentary on Mozi, Examples of Oracle Bone Script, and The Origin of Names. The Correct Meaning of the Rites of Zhou synthesizes Qing scholarship on the Rites of Zhou, while Examples of Oracle Bone Script is China's earliest monograph on oracle bone studies, marking a pioneering contribution to philology and the study of ancient texts. His Supplementary Commentary on Mozi offers meticulous collation and annotation of the early Mohist text and remains a reliable basis for later readers; the several works listed here belong to this series. Sun Yirang's scholarship spanned the classics, history, philology, and the various schools of thought, with connections to folk literature and Eastern philosophy, and his plain, rigorous approach exerted a lasting influence on modern scholarship.
