Shishou Xinyu has been a work of great importance to scholars interested in Wuei-Jin intellectualism. In the past, most studies have focused on qing-tan literature, thus neglecting the possibility of giving different perspectives from which to interpret Wuei-Jin’s intellectualism. In the light of this, the present author attempts to examine “shiluen” by paying attention to the past commentaries on it and situating the researcher in a hermeneutic pursuit for the multilevel meanings and value judgment. It is hoped that such an approach will lead to laying bare the intricacy of the reasoning behind Wuei-Jin intellectualism. This approach will be adopted in order to investigate the meaning of the tenth story in the Shi-Jian Chapter and to propose a perspective involving fangnei-vis-à-vis-fangwuei. Then it will analyze the eleventh story in Ren-Dan Chapter and suggest a dialectics of “shiyi and jianji”. In this way, this study hopes to open a new door to studies on Shishou Xinyu. By conducting a dialogic interpretation between what has happened in the stories and appeal to “shiluen” – by deriving thought from happenings and revealing social manifestations based on practices, this study aims to liberate Shishou Xinyu from Wuei-Jin, connect it to the world, and make it step out of an abstract discourse to offering insights into the embodied thoughts of Wei-Jin people and culture and into the universe for the human world.
