本文嘗試從「明末考據學風」、「清初諸儒《說文》學之啟發」、「清初官定《康熙字典》」等原因，探索清初《說文》學之興起。關於清初《說文》學之發展，與考據學大盛有密切之關係，而清代考據學研究，學者多以為與明末學術風氣轉變有關。明中葉以後，學術風氣轉變，但對於《說文》研究，其實並不算重視。明代政權滅亡後，由明至清的遺老們，對於明代學術之流弊，更是深切檢討，其中又以顧炎武（1613-1682）最具代表性，被稱為清代學術的開山宗師，促進回歸漢學傳統之學術風潮。顧炎武《說文》學論述雖是不多，但其研究方法與精神，啟發了後學者之研究。再者，許慎《說文解字》成書於東漢，與漢代經學關係密切，因此清初諸家研究《說文》，最先關注《說文》之經學意義，而《說文》與經學最直接明顯之關連，是其引用經書之部分。其次，清初官方對於《說文》研究亦有所影響，康熙皇帝下詔編纂《康熙字典》，書中大量引用《說文》，加之《說文》的漢學背景，使得當時學者認識到《說文》的重要性，進而研究《說文》。
