論文對1950年至2005年的50多年來大陸荀學研究的概況進行了綜述，認為梁啟雄的《荀子簡釋》盛名之下，其實難副。而《荀子》版本學研究最突出的當數高正的《〈荀子〉版本源流考》，箚記類補正校釋專著成績最好的是駱瑞鶴的《荀子補正》和李中生的《荀子校詁叢稿》，高亨、金德建、包遵信、王天海諸位在《荀子》校勘考釋箚記方面也頗有成果。今天，深入研究《荀子》，我們迫切需要一部全面超過《荀子集解》的《荀子》新注。

The paper made a summary of the studies of xunzi in the Mainland, and considered that the achievement of Liangqixiong's xunzijianshi was not consistent with its reputation. It also suggested that Gaozheng's xunzibanbenyuanliukao was outstanding on the edition study; Luoruihe's xunzibuzheng and lizhongsheng's xunzijiaoguconggao were the accomplished works in supplements and corrects; Gaoheng, Jindejian, Baozunxin, Wangtianhai etc. had many accomplishments in co11ation and textual criticism. Today we urgent need a new annotating work which can surpass the xunzijijie for thorough research in xunzi.
