明代方獻夫著有《古文周易傳義約說》一書。方氏曾從學於陽明，並與湛甘泉交遊，最終歸宗陽明良知學。然為官經歷及反省時風，深感王學不重讀書的不足。至於程、朱雖重讀書窮理，方氏認為不免有支離之弊。遂結合心學、理學兩家之長，而避其短，提出以博約法治經，透過深入研讀經典，凝鍊古聖智慧，接引後學。方氏鑒於程《傳》、《本義》不免有支離之弊，故折中以邵子《易》，博約眾說，輔以己意，藉由象數探求義理，以簡要文字表達見解，完成《古文周易傳義約說》這部傳注體論著，供後人讀《易》參考。唯有將這部《易》著，置於方氏整個學思脈絡，進行深入考察，方能真正見出該書的特色與價值。

In the Ming Dynasty, Fang Xian Fu authored the book on Yijing, Guwenzhouyich-uanyiyueshuo. He reflected on the shortcomings of the present doctrine and thought that the problem lay in the obscurity of learning. so he adopted Daxue and Zhongyong to mark the learning of sages, corrected the over-emphasis on the essence of conscience and conscience in Yangmingism, and advocated for the erudition of the text and the grimoire; he also corrected the problem of Cheng-Zhu school’s detachment, and proposed the importance of interpretation the scriptures by the method of erudition. In order to save the shortcomings of studying, he emphasizes the importance of studying the sages' scriptures, but is dissatisfied with the shortcomings of Cheng-Zhu school’s detachment in Chengchuan、Benyi, so he takes Shao Yong’s Yijing learning as a compromise, and uses the images to clarify the reasoning, and completes this biography-style treatise in a concise text for future generations to study Yijing. If we understand the purpose of Fang's work, we can establish a corresponding understanding through a dialogue with him with the intention against the will, which may lead to a more in-depth discussion and reflection, and also reveal the characteristics and value of the book.
