What is Sinology and what are the Sinology in China?

"Zhou Li Chun Guan Zongbo III" says: "Musicians master Chinese studies." "Tang Yao Hui" also said: "In the five years of Zhenguan, Emperor Taizong was lucky to learn Chinese studies and imperial academy, so he built 1,200 more learning halls." The concept of Chinese studies in the modern sense was formed in the late Qing Dynasty and early Ming Dynasty. Its definition caused controversy several times at the beginning of last century. Strictly speaking, the academic circles have not given us a unified and clear definition of Chinese studies so far. Famous experts have different opinions, but they can't agree. Generally speaking, Deng Shi, the quintessence of Chinese culture, wrote in 1906: "What is a China scholar? A country's learning is also. Life with land is on it, because there is a country, and people with a country have their own knowledge. Learning to be excellent is an official, learning to be excellent is an official, and governing the country is safe. " Lecture on Chinese Studies, Chinese Cooking Magazine. 19) Mr. Deng's concept of Chinese studies is very broad, but he mainly emphasizes the practicality of Chinese studies. The representative's opinion is that new learning refers to old learning and western learning refers to middle school. By extension, it is China's traditional knowledge. Generally speaking, Sinology refers to the traditional culture and scholarship of China with Confucianism as the main body. Since Sinology is a traditional culture and academic in China, it undoubtedly includes medicine, drama, calligraphy and painting, astrology, mathematics, etc. It certainly belongs to the category of Sinology, but it can also be said to be an extension of Sinology. Chinese studies should be divided into philosophy, history, religion, literature, customs, textual research, ethics, edition and so on. , with Confucian philosophy as the mainstream; Ideologically, it should be divided into three schools: pre-Qin philosophers, Confucianism, Taoism and Buddhism. Confucianism runs through and dominates the history of China's thoughts, and everything else is subordinate. Sinology is divided into four parts: classics, history, philosophy and history, but the classics and philosophers are the main ones, especially the classics. Today, what we call "Chinese studies" generally refers to the traditional culture of China, especially the excellent traditional culture accumulated in the historical process and still valuable to contemporary society. Li Zhouguan Pure Musician: "Musicians are in charge of Chinese studies and teach China children small dances." Sun Yirang's Justice in Zhou Li: "China scholar, in Guoyi, Gongzuo Primary School." The "national studies" in the Zhou Dynasty was only a state-run "school for aristocratic children". At present, "Sinology" refers to the traditional culture of China, and there is no fixed definition of "Sinology" in academic sense.
