Tai Chen (1724–1777), a preeminent scholar of the Qing dynasty, offers a rigorous philological and philosophical examination of the Mencius. Through his critical analysis of the Mengzi ziyi shuzheng, Chen reconstructs the semantic foundations of Confucian ethics, challenging established interpretations by grounding his arguments in precise linguistic evidence and historical context.
