Mao Qiling (毛奇龄 Máo Qílíng; 1623–1716) was a Chinese scholar and philologist of the early
Qing Dynasty. A native of Xiaoshan in Zhejiang province, he became a licentiate at the age of fifteen
sui. After the fall of the
Ming Dynasty in 1644, he refused to serve the
Qing. In 1679, however, he took part in and passed a special honorary examination held by the
Kangxi Emperor to attract scholars who had not yet announced their allegiance to the new dynasty. He was then appointed to the compilation of the official
History of Ming. After retiring from office in 1687, he went to live in Hangzhou (Zhejiang), where he taught many disciples.
A scholar of wide learning, Mao compiled works on the Confucian Classics and on phonetics, music, history, and geography. After Mao's death his writings were collected and published as an eighty-volume work, The Collected Works of Xihe ("Xihe" was a popular pseudonym of Mao's). He was famous for vehemently opposing the orthodox commentaries on the Classics by Song-dynasty Neo-Confucians like Zhu Xi. He also unsuccessfully attacked Yan Ruoju's demonstration that the Old Text chapters of the Book of Documents (one of the Five Classics) were Han-dynasty forgeries.
In the Shang shu guangting fu (Record of a broad understanding of the documents), Mao presented criticism of the earlier association between the early nonary cosmographic schemes and the Luoshu.

生平
他是毛万龄之弟。少时聪颖过人，十三岁应明末童子试，主考官陈子龙见他年幼，玩笑说：「黄毛未退，亦来应试？」毛奇龄答道：「鹄飞有待，此振先声。」对仗颇工，众人皆惊。清兵南下，与沈禹锡、蔡仲光、包秉德避兵于深山，筑土室读书，曾谓：「元明以来无学人，学人之绝斯三百年矣。」康熙十八年（1679年）举博学鸿儒二等，授翰林院检讨，充史馆纂修。康熙二十四年（1685年），任会试同考官，康熙二十六年（1687年），后因两膝肿胀，关节僵硬，辞职归隐，居杭州竹竿巷兄长万龄家。专心著述。康熙五十五年（1716年）病逝。葬于萧山北干后浦摊。
毛奇龄之文章，「纵横博辨，傲睨一世」，他反对朱子学，他的弟子收集其旧文编撰《四书改错》以攻击朱熹《四书章句集注》。他还写了一部《仲氏易》，把宋人讲的《易经》推倒了。毛奇龄认为周敦颐的《太极图》是来自道教的文献。全祖望平生最恶毛奇龄之书，攻击最力。又著有《湘湖水利志》3卷、《萧山县县志刊误》3卷等。清初《四库全书》收录其著作二十八种，见于《存目》的三十五种，为《四库全书》中个人著作被收录最多的一位。
毛氏其先出自「注经世业」的《毛诗》注释者。
生年
陈子龙崇祯十年进士也，当1637年。外放学政，必不早于次年。清人有不敢言者。1642年以后则寇警至近，岂有此闲心。李元度所言为是。康熙五十二年，以多事之秋，八十五岁卒于家。
著作
