AI 摘要

Introduced the 30-year development history of the International Sinology magazine. Since its establishment by Mr. Ren Jiyu in 1995, the magazine has adhered to the pure academic and high-quality publishing philosophy, growing from a folk publication to a CSSCI source journal and enjoying a high reputation in the academic community at home and abroad. The magazine responds to the needs of the times, guides new trends in academic research, promotes international Sinology (Chinese studies) research from niche to prominent, cultivates a group of young scholars, and carries the academic ideals and aspirations of researchers.

1、 Organize a discussion on the nature and methods of "Sinology" and "Chinese Studies"

The nature, methods, and fundamental issues of "Sinology" and "Chinese Studies" were discussed with the aim of guiding academic discussions and debates, exploring the essence, clarifying the purpose, analyzing concepts, discussing methods, and promoting research. The International Journal of Sinology has established a column called "A Discourse on Sinology" to solicit the opinions of renowned scholars, experts, and young scholars from home and abroad, with the aim of analyzing problems, expanding horizons, and expanding fields. Through discussion, the integrated form and research path of international Sinology (Sinology) have been confirmed, abandoning narrow concepts and expanding the perspective of "Sinology", incorporating Tibetan studies, Mongolian studies, and other fields into the research field. At the same time, it advocates that Chinese scholars understand the differences in knowledge systems between the East and the West with a scientific and equal mindset, engage in equal academic dialogue with Western sinologists, and create an international academic platform for equal dialogue between Chinese and foreign researchers.

2、 Consolidate the foundation of sinologist research

The core position of Sinologists in international Sinology (Sinology) research was discussed, emphasizing the importance of studying Sinologists and their achievements. The International Sinology magazine has established "Sinology Interview Record" and "Sinologist Special Page" columns to conduct in-depth interviews and specialized research on Sinologists, covering over a hundred Sinologists. The article points out that the neglect of sinologists from minority language countries in current research has led to uneven research and difficulty in fully reflecting the overseas dissemination of Chinese culture. To make up for this deficiency, International Sinology has strengthened its research on sinologists from minority language countries, published multiple interviews and research articles, and promoted cultural diversity and academic balance. In addition, the chapter also explores the cross-cultural dual identity of Chinese Sinologists and their important role in international Sinology research, emphasizing the importance of Chinese Sinologist research. A column titled "Chinese Sinologists and Sinology of Various Countries" has been established to publish relevant articles and research papers, advocating for a fair and objective evaluation of the achievements and contributions of overseas Chinese Sinologists.

3、 Pay attention to the study of early missionary Sinology and the history of national Sinology

Emphasizing that the early history of overseas Sinology originated from missionaries who came to China and played a bridging role in cultural exchanges between the East and the West. The International Sinology magazine has promoted the organization of missionary literature and character research through columns such as "Research on Missionaries Entering China" and "Early Western Sinology", becoming a forefront of domestic research. The magazine also established a column on "National Sinology Research", covering the study of Sinology history in multiple countries, broadening the research perspective, accumulating rich literature and materials, and laying the foundation for the study of national Sinology history and even world Sinology history.

4、 Strengthening the research on the translation and overseas dissemination of Chinese classics

Emphasizing the importance of the translation and overseas dissemination of Chinese cultural classics, it is pointed out that the International Sinology magazine promotes the translation, dissemination, and research of Chinese classics through the establishment of relevant columns. The article mentions the study of overseas translation and dissemination of Confucian classics such as the Analects and literary works such as Dream of the Red Chamber, demonstrating the influence of Chinese classics overseas. At the same time, emphasis was placed on the discussion of the translation characteristics of "Western to Chinese" and "Chinese to Western", advocating the combination of Chinese translation traditions and theories to pave the way for the establishment of a translation theory with Chinese characteristics. In addition, it also mentioned the importance of Sinology literature and the advocacy of research on the history of world Chinese language education in International Sinology.

5、 The significance of international Sinology research in the study of local Chinese culture

Explored the importance of international Sinology in the study of local Chinese culture. International Sinology and local Chinese studies together form an international academic community for the study of Chinese culture, with internal and external interactions complementing each other, promoting global awareness and international dialogue of Chinese culture. International Sinology provides an otherworldly perspective for the study of Chinese culture, which helps with self-awareness and reflection, stimulates cultural creativity, and enhances cultural confidence. At the same time, the knowledge system, thinking mode, and theoretical methods of sinologists from outside the country provide useful references for local research, promoting innovation and development in Chinese academia. The emergence and development of modern Chinese academia are closely related to the study of Sinology outside of China, such as the influence of international Sinology on the research of Sinology at the School of Chinese Studies at Tsinghua University. Since the 1980s, Chinese academia has widely absorbed Western ideas, theories, and methods, and exchanges with overseas sinologists have become increasingly frequent. The research achievements of Western sinologists have caused a response and discussion in the Chinese academic community. While respecting and absorbing them, Chinese scholars have also engaged in dialogue, discussion, and even criticism. The International Sinology magazine has played an important role in promoting foreign Sinology, promoting dialogue and exchange between Chinese studies and Sinology, and assisting in the development of modern Chinese academia. The establishment of modern Chinese academia is based on scholars' cultural consciousness and academic independence, absorbing Western academic methods and achievements in Sinology from outside with an open mind, promoting self-renewal and development of academic research. After several generations of scholars' efforts, the study of Chinese culture has entered the world academic community. As a carrier of academic richness and diversity, International Sinology provides a platform for cross-cultural academic dialogue and exchange. It adheres to academic concepts and positions in a commercialized and utilitarian environment, and looks forward to making greater contributions to China's academic globalization.
