What is the real Chinese studies?

Sinology is based on pre-Qin classics and a hundred schools of thought, covering the cultural essence of each historical period. In the history of China, Sinology refers to Sinology headed by imperial academy, which generally refers to China's traditional ideological and cultural scholarship relative to Western learning since the introduction of Western learning to the east. In addition to the basic definition, there is no unified and clear definition of the specific definition of Chinese studies in academic circles.

Generally speaking, Sinology, also known as Sinology or China Studies, refers to the traditional culture and scholarship of China. Chinese studies include China's ancient philosophy, history, religion, literature, customs, textual research, ethics, traditional Chinese medicine, agriculture, martial arts, geography, politics, economy, painting and calligraphy, music, architecture and many other aspects. The concept of "Chinese studies" came into being in the 1920s. When was it? The reform trend of "western learning spreading to the east" is in full swing. Zhang Zhidong, Wei Yuan and others put forward the concept of "middle school" (Chinese studies) in order to oppose western learning. "Middle school is the body and western learning is the use"? On the one hand, we learn from western civilization, and at the same time restore the Confucian classics in Han Dynasty.
