As Bernhard Karlgren has pointed out, Confucian commentators frequently argued that a work identified as part of the canon was really a later forgery on the grounds that its contents are “shallow and vulgar” (Karlgren 1929: 166). ” One way of asserting the profundity and primacy of the Analects was simply to present it as the essence and summation of the Sages’ teaching and the master key to the classics as a whole. According to the prominent Qing 清 historian of classical studies CHEN Li 陳澧 (1810–1882), “the essentials of classical studies are all in the 3 The Commentarial Tradition 43 Analects” (L.
