Over the past decades, in the discussion of the rise of Sinology, a few representative scholars have been mentioned and focused on, and the results of the discussion have frequently entered the general description. For these reasons, this study aims at the analysis of Wang Min-Sheng's (1722-1797) Shang Shu Hou An-Hong Fan, explores his core idea in depth, and further elaborates his description and interpretation of Hong Fan. The study will provide a new direction toward the analysis and discussion of Sinology. According to the present study, in order to conduct Hong Fan research, Wang attempted to collect scattered documents and writings and restore Zheng Xuan's Jia Fa, which was regarded as the absolute instruction and dominative position in Wang's theory. Therefore, the results of this study indicated that Wang followed Zheng Xuan's Jia Fa to make a textual research about Hong Fan; in addition, he would make textual research about the reality of history if there was a lack of data on Zheng Xuan's Jia Fa. The conclusion of this study shows that, because of insufficient collation and compilation of scattered documents and writing in Wang's works, and confusion between classics and history, the development of Sinology had not been complete and remained in the early stage. In fact, although many long-standing problems have remained and have not been dealt with effectively, Wang and his works, also called the forerunner of Sinology, can give a feasible direction for the followers who study Hong Fan to grope further and explore new studies in the future.
