“儒道互补”为我国古代学术思想之一大特点,故历代史志目录在子部后均著录道家著作。然自《明史·艺文志》始,道家学术地位骤降。这不是一个偶然现象,它与当时的编纂者推崇经世致用之学、明清学风由虚妄转为质朴有着密切的联系。 “Confucianism and Taoism complement each other ” is one of the major characteristics of ancient Chinese academic thought, so the history of the Chronicles directory in the history of the dynasties are recorded in the Taoist books. However, since Ming Shi Yi Wen Zhi began, the Taoist academic status plummeted. This is not an accidental phenomenon. It is closely linked with the compilers of the time praising the lessons of the world and the study of the Ming and Qing dynasties, from vanity to simplicity.
