The Min-Qing Transition in Tokugawa Intellectual History : Problems of Legitimacy in Politics and Academia.

本研究分析了18世纪和19世纪上半叶日本儒家思想中的中国王朝合法性，考察了明末清初发生的政治背景和思想变革。由于明初逃日学者等的影响，德川政府起初对承认清王朝的合法性持犹豫态度。随着清政府最终承认清朝统治，知识界对清学术合法性的评价也发生了巨大变化。众所周知，国学在日本西部知识分子中的兴起是对这一转变的回应之一。本研究以东德川府儒生为个案，勾勒出清籍输入史上各个阶段学术合法性的变迁与评价。

This research analyzed Chinese dynastic legitimacy in the eighteenth- and the first half of nineteenth-century Japanese Confucian Thought, examining the political backdrop and intellectual transformations that took place during the late Ming and early Qing periods. Owing to the influence of scholars and others from the Ming who had defected to Japan, the Tokugawa government was at first hesitant to recognize the legitimacy of Qing dynasty. Following the government's eventual recognition of Qing rule, the evaluation of the legitimacy of Qing as opposed to Ming scholarship drastically changed in the intellectual world as well. As it is well known, the rise of National Learning in Western Japanese intellectuals was one response for the transition. This study examined the Eastern Tokugawa governmental Confucians' case and shows the outline of transition and evaluation of scholarly legitimacy in each stage in the history of imported Qing's books.
