China calls its own scholarship Chinese studies, while foreigners call China's scholarship Sinology.

sinology refers to China's cultural heritage and academic records, including China's ancient history, philosophy, geography, astrology and architecture.

Sinology refers to the study of classics, famous things and exegesis related to the Han nationality in China. Sinology, or Sinology, refers to a discipline in which scholars outside China study all aspects of China, including China's history, politics, society, literature, philosophy, and even overseas Chinese.

Only by having a dialogue between overseas Sinology and local academics in China can we understand the deep mystery of China culture; Only when China scholars open themselves to the world can they activate the ancient traditions and thoughts.

the origin of sinology in Europe:

1. The theory of "missionary sinology".

It is generally believed in academic circles that the study of Sinology by European missionaries in the 16th century should be regarded as the origin of Sinology. The birth of European Sinology in the 16th century was the result of many factors, such as the adventurous spirit of the Renaissance, the lucrative oriental trade and the realization of personal interests and honors.

2. the theory of "ancient Greek period".

The historical origin of Sinology in Europe may be even longer. Since the times of ancient Greece and Rome, the European civilized world and the East Asian civilized world represented by China have maintained indirect or direct interaction, which has created the basic impetus for the development and progress of human history. These communication trajectories contributed to the birth of China's early image in the West, which can be regarded as the initial beginning of Sinology.
