在宣长看来，日本真正的精神不在于中国的道德理论，而在于对事物的哀伤与美的敏感，这一点见于其最古老的诗歌。

约三十五年的文献学工作，研究日本最古老的史书，并将其读作中国影响之前日本本来之道的记录。

立场

Norinaga sought in Japan’s oldest texts an “ancient Way” untouched by Chinese learning. In poetry and the Tale of Genji he found mono no aware – the capacity to be deeply moved by things – and held that literature must not be judged by Confucian or Buddhist morals. The moralising “Chinese heart” (karagokoro) had distorted this native sensibility. In his Kojiki commentary, using a philology akin to Ogyū Sorai’s, he took the myths as literal truth, including the imperial line’s descent from the sun goddess, and inferred Japan’s superiority. Via Hirata Atsutane he fed 19th-century Shintō nationalism – a reception scholars distinguish from his philological and aesthetic achievement.

生平与背景

Motoori Norinaga was born in 1730 in Matsusaka in Ise province into a family of cotton merchants. Unsuited to trade, he studied medicine and Confucian learning in Kyoto from 1752. From 1757 he practised as a physician in Matsusaka for the rest of his life. A single meeting with Kamo no Mabuchi in 1763 made him Mabuchi’s pupil. He taught hundreds of students; he died in 1801.
