By 1750, however, the heirs of these fervent coteries of Neo-Confucian masters and disciples had become members of a secular academic community, which encouraged, and rewarded with livelihoods, orginal and rigorous critical scholarship. Ch'ing dynasty (1644-1911) scholarship represented a new and irreversible transition in traditional Chinese intellectual history. The tradition of evidential research (k'ao-cheng ), which seventeenth- and eighteenth-century textual scholars(' )(, ) created, initiated an intellectual crisis from which the imperial Neo-Confucian orthodoxy entrenched in official life never recovered. |
