朱熹易學在中國易學史的分量和地位，正如其理學在中國思想史上的地位，都是集大成性的。大陸學界對朱熹易學的研究，經過近幾十年的積累沉澱，無論是研究內容還是研究方法，都已發展到一定的階段，取得了不少有分量的研究成果。根據研究領域的不同，大致劃分為五個方面：其一，對朱熹整個易學體系和易學基本特徵的理解和討論，這是學界共同思考的根本性話題；其二，從史學和文獻考據的角度，對朱熹易學作出的思考和討論；其三，專門以朱熹易學中象數部分為角度展開的討論；其四，專門以朱熹易學中義理部分為角度展開的討論；其五，以朱熹易學詮釋學、朱熹易學之影響及其它相關領域為研究對象的討論。從研究內容看，涉及到朱熹易學的各個領域；從研究方法看，開始借鑒解釋學、語言學、訓詁學、歷史學等學科領域所取得的相關理論成果，於朱熹易學多層面思考、多視點切入。但總體看，大陸學界對朱熹易學的研究，綜合性、系統性的研究成果不多；從朱熹易學研究的歷史與現狀看，現代學者多從哲學思維的角度抽繹，而對朱熹《易》著的文本研究顯得相對薄弱。

The weight and the status of Zhu Xi’s Yi-ology in the history of China’s Yi-ology are as comprehensive as his Neo-Confucianism in Chinese ideological history. The study did by the mainland academic circle toward Zhu Xi’s Yi-ology has developed through decades’ accumulation and endeavor. Both the study content and study methods have been developed to a certain stage, and some great study results have also been achieved. According to the differences of study areas, it can be roughly divided into five aspects: The first is the understanding and discussion of Zhu Xi’s entire Yi-ology system and the basic features of Yi-ology; The second is the thinking and discussion about Yi-ology from the aspect of historical research and textual research of literature; The third is the discussion from the view of the images and numbers in Zhu Xi’s Yi-ology; The fourth is the discussion from the view of the philosophical connotations in Zhu Xi’s Yi-ology; The fifth is the discussion about Zhu Xi’s Yi-ology hermeneutics, the influence of Zhu Xi’s Yi-ology and its relevant discussion. Looking into the study content, the study about Zhu Xi’s Yi-ology in recent years of Chinese mainland has referred to all areas of Zhu Xi’s Yi-ology; and from the study methods, it started to use relevant theoretical achievements in hermeneutics, Linguistics, exegetics, history and other fields of study for reference, in order to have multidimensional thinking and different views toward Zhu Xi’s Yi-ology. However, in general, few study achievements about Zhu Xi’s Yi-ology in mainland China are comprehensively and systematically. From the history and current situation of Zhu Xi’s Yi-ology study, it can be concluded that modern scholars more likely to conduct their study from philosophical thinking. In contrast, the text study of Zhu Xi’s Yi-ology is relatively weak.
