| Abstract:A thought unit is a meaningful mental context, including three levels: context construction, context clarification, and context consolidation. This paper uses the thought unit research method to examine Xue Er, the first chapter of the Analects pointed out three types of thought unit questions: what is there?, what will happen?, and what is it? This chapter also implies reflection about what should be? but it lacks the context clarification of reasons (suo yi ran 所以然). This paper compares the multilevel context clarification of reasons and thought units developed by various schools in the process of interpreting Xue Er by examining He Yan's Collected Explanations of Analects, Huang Kan's The Commentary of Collected Explanations of Analects, Xing Bing's The Commentary on Analects, Zhu Xi's Annotations in the Analects, and Jian Chaoliang's Supplementary notes of Zhu Xi's Annotations in the Analects. This article compares the degree of fertility between the interpretations of various schools based on the criteria of clarity, relevance, consistency, explanatory power, ability to predict, practicality, suitability, and value and then goes on to explain the necessary characteristics of a paradigmatic textual interpretation. |
