Exploring the Forming Mechanism of Academic Network in the Song Dynasty Based on Triad Census and Visualization

Abstract

Abstract: The Song dynasty is an important era for the transformation of Chinese academic thoughts, and the neo-confucianism it produced is far-reaching. Sorting out the social relationships of academic figures in the Song dynasty is important for understanding the formation of the neo-confucianism. This study uses a triadic census to examine the structural features of Song dynasty academic networks and to explore the forming mechanism of academic networks of the period. It is found that the overall academic network has a significant distribution of structural hole-type triad than clustered triad, and 021U and 111D are the main types that make up the Song academic network when compared with random graphs with the same nodes and density. An analysis of the triad directly related to academic figures in the Song dynasty is found. The 021U of “Zhu Xi” is more significant than that of his contemporaries, with “for Y disciple” and “for Y student” being the most common side relationships. Using Hoyt Tillman’s historical staging as a criterion for detecting changes in 021U and 021D of Zhu Xi, Lu Zuqian and Lu Jiuyuan, Zhu Xi’s followers fluctuate more significantly and they were mostly Neo-Confucianists. The triadic census is able to analyze the structural features of the network from a micro perspective and to understand the interaction of characters in the network, providing a new perspective for
historiography.

Key words: Triad census, Song dynasty academic networks, Zhu Xi, Neo-confucianism
