Abstract：“Misreading” often happens in classical inheritance, which mainly includes misreading of language, of content, and of time and space. In general, we view misreading and misunderstanding as “prejudice”, but prejudice is not “ wrong reading”. Classical inheritance cannot do without the interpretation of classical texts. “Elaborating without creating (述而不作)” is the traditional Chinese approach of classical interpretation. In contrast, the interpretation approach of deconstructionism is just the other way around. For deconstructionism, misreading can be taken as innovation. But for those believing in “elaborating without creating”, “misreading” should be avoided. Though these two interpretation approaches are opposite to each other, they share the same goal: they both try to restore the true meaning so as to inherit classics and pass them on.
