A study of Tokugawa intellectual history about the foreign understanding

我研究了德川日本的思想史，特别是外国对中国和朝鲜的了解。在这些研究中，我与日本、韩国和中国学者一起组织了一个研究组织，命名为KEI-SHISOU KENKYUKAI。通过我们的研究，我可以给出对德川日本的外国理解的展望。例如，在17世纪后半叶，日本的民族中心主义是由于中国政权的更迭而建立的，在韩国也是如此。18世纪下半叶，在西方的影响下，日本产生了近代自私自利的民族主义者民族主义(KOKUGAKU)，从这些外来的理解中，我们可以了解到日本德川儒学等思潮的倾向和特点。另一方面，我们可以从这些外来的理解来解释17世纪到19世纪的东亚思想的特点。今后，我想研究18世纪的日本儒学，以显示外国理解的转折点。

I reserched into the intellectual history of Tokugawa Japan, especially into the foreign understanding to China and Korea.For these reserches I organized study organization with Japanese and Korean and Chinese scholars named KAI-SHISOU KENKYUKAI.As a result of our reserches, I could give the outlook of foreign understanding in Tokugawa Japan. For example in the latter half of the 17th century Japanese ethnocentrism was established because of Chinese political power change, same as in Korea. In the latter half of the 18th century Japanese modern selfish nationalism as Nativisin(KOKUGAKU) was created because of Western Impact.We can understand the tendency and the characteristic of Japanese Confucianism and other thoughts in Tokugawa Japan from these foreign understandings. On the other hand, we can explain the characteristic of Eastern Asian thoughts from the 17th century to the 19th century from these foreign understandings.In future I like to reserch Japanese Confucianism in the 18th century in order to show the change point of the foreign understanding.
