《論語》、《孟子》，舊各為帙。《大學》、《中庸》，舊《禮記》之二篇。其編為《四書》，自宋淳熙始。其懸為令甲，則自元延祐科舉始。古來無是名也。然二戴所錄《麯禮》、《檀弓》諸篇，非一人之書，迨立名曰《禮記》，《禮記》遂為一。即王逸所錄屈原、宋玉諸篇，《漢志》均謂之賦，迨立名曰《楚辭》，《楚辭》亦遂為一。元邱葵《周禮補亡序》稱聖朝以“六經”取士，則當時固以《四書》為一經。前創因，久則為律，是固難以一說拘矣。今從《明史·藝文志》例，立《四書》一門，亦所謂禮以義起也。彝尊《經義考》於《四書》之前仍立《論語》、《孟子》二類；黃虞稷《頃堂書目》，凡說《大學》、《中庸》者，皆附於禮類，蓋欲以不去餼羊，略存古義。然子書行五百載矣，趙岐、何晏以下，古籍存者寥寥；梁武帝《義疏》以下，且散佚盡弃盡力；元、明以來之所解，皆自《四書》分出者耳。《明史》入《四書》，蓋循其實。今亦不強析其名焉。
