《宋史，藝文志》載《春秋》著作冠於各經，然而朱熹卻無《春秋》解經作品，在文集之中，也少有提到。學者多以為朱熹以內聖為主的理學思想，是造成他不重視《春秋》的原因。然而內聖的目標，最終仍在外王，朱熹並非不重視外王，這從朱熹仿效《春秋》而成的《資治通鑑綱目》創作意圖，便可看出朱熹對《春秋》並非不在意。只是為學有先後次序，由內聖而外王是朱熹一貫的主張，故探討朱熹的經學思想，不能因其無《春秋》解經作品，便以為朱熹輕忽《春秋》，反而更應藉由文集、語錄之記載，探討朱熹的政治思想，以明朱熹為學次第。本文指在探討朱熹對《春秋》之態度，分析解釋《春秋》的觀點，以期能對朱熹的經學研究提供更全面的詮釋。

The history of Sung, Yiwenzhi (Literary Annals) indicates that the works of Chunqiu (Spring and Autumn Annals) ranks No. 1 in various Chinese scriptures, however, Zhu Xi has no work that dedicated to the interpretation of Chunqiu, and seldom mentions in his corpuses neither. Most scholars believe the main reason for Zhu Xi does not care for Chunqiu is that he focuses on the Neo-Confucianism thought tthat emphasizes internal saintliness. However, the final goal of internal saintliness is external kingliness. It is not true that Zhu Xi does not concern about external kingliness, from his creation intention of imitating Chunqiu to write the Zi Zhi Tongjian Gangmu (Summary of the Comprehensive Mirror for Aid in government), we can note that he cares for Chunqiu. It is just because people have got priority in studies. "External kingliness comes after internal saintliness" is the consistent position of Zhu Xi. Hence when we are exploring Zhu Xi's thoughts on Chinese scriptures, we could not say Zhu Xi neglect Chunqiu just because he has no works dedicated to the interpretation of Chunqiu. On the contrary, we should study Zhu Xi's political thoughts and understand his priority of studies from the records of literary annals and quotations. This study aims at exploring Zhu Xi's attitudes towards Chunqiu and his viewpoints in interpreting Chunqiu, and expects to have thorough interpretation of Zhu Xi's manner in studying Chinese scriptures.
