han dynasty
traditionally, it was thought that confucius himself had compiled or edited the texts of the five classics. the scholar yao hsin-chung allows that there are good reasons to believe that confucian classics took shape in the hands of confucius, but that “nothing can be taken for granted in the matter of the early versions of the classics.” from the time of the western han dynasty, yao continues, most confucian scholars believed that confucius re-collected and edited the prior works, thereby “fixing” the versions of the ancient writings which became the classics. in the twentieth century, many chinese scholars still held to this tradition. the new confucian scholar, xiong shili (1885–1968), for instance, held that the six classics were the final versions "fixed up" by confucius in his old age. other scholars had and have different views. the old text school, for instance, relied on versions found in the han dynasty which supposedly survived the qin dynasty burning of the books but many of them held that these works had not been edited by confucius but survived directly from the zhou dynasty.
