本文探討錢榮國《詩經白話註》的形成與晚清教育思潮及癸卯學制的關聯性，並歸納分析此書的寫作宗旨、註解表現及其教學價值。考察此書的誕生背景，發現此書的編寫形式及內容大體上遵照癸卯學制規定，另外，當時流行的白話教科書影響了經典註解採用新式方式，此書不但使用白話，也可見用西學解釋《詩經》的註解。分析錢榮國的註解表現，其中，於註解時補充因果邏輯說明、歸納同類字詞解釋、對《詩經》做全詩、全書的整體性解釋等，種種方式皆可見《詩經白話註》一書對於「啟發童蒙，使無師可自通」所下的努力。錢榮國視《詩經》可「修身、齊家、治國」的傳統教化觀念，與其使用白話文註解《詩經》的開創之舉正好呈現強烈對比，反映晚清士人面對「西學東漸」時，所突顯的中學、西學的混融。
