Abstract
The geographical distribution of Sichuan works on Confucian classics in Qing Dynasty was not balance.Of Confucian scholars or works,Chengdu,Chongqing and Zizhou were the top three,either economically or culturally.However,in these three areas,the development of Confucianism was not even.It is worth noting that some underdeveloped remote areas started to study Confucian Classics in late Qing Dynasty,such as Qiuyou State.Sichuan had made great progress in its Confucian classics research,though still lag far behind compared with Jiangsu、Zhejiang and Anhui provinces.Two reasons explain such situation: 1) Sichuan locates in remote western area,the new academic methods and hot spots academic information arrived later;2) Sichuan had no academic masters in Confucian research that could create a new Confucian research spirit.
