吕留良 / Lu Liuliang

吕留良 / Lu Liuliang is the late Ming-early Qing scholar whose writings become the ideological center of the 曾静 case in 11.雍正王朝之大义觉迷:史景迁笔下的千古奇案. The episode says Zeng Jing and 张熙 absorbed anti-Qing and Hua-Yi arguments through Lu’s books, even though Lu himself was long dead when the case broke open.

The source treats Lu as both genuine influence and convenient target. 李卫’s search of the Lu household showed only a thin direct connection to Zeng Jing, yet 雍正 moved the case’s guilt toward Lu’s writings, descendants, students, and Zhejiang literati. Lu therefore becomes a key example of 清代文字狱 / Qing Literary Inquisition: writing, diaries, print circulation, and scholarly memory could be punished as political contagion.
