The commentaries to the Classics in the Han dynasty are voluminous, and are entitled differently, such as ku, chiian, shuo, chang-chii, wei, t'ung, t'iao-li, chu, etc. Although not many chang-chii commentaries are extant, they are important to the interpretative activities of the Han scholars and bear significant influence to the later yi-shu commentary. This article, based on pervious scholarship, explores in four sections issues in the chang-chii commentary. The four sections are: 1.The origins of the chang-chii commentary. 2.The sophistication and simplification of the chang-chii commentary. 3.The content of the chang-chii commentary. 4.The evaluation of the chang-chii commentary. It is hoped that we can reach a better understanding of the Han chang-chii commentary through the discussion in the four sections.
