Kangaku and sinology
In modern Japan, sinology (Chugokugaku, 中国学, or formerly Shinagaku, 支那學) refers to Western and modern Chinese studies, whereas kangaku refers to traditional or pre-modern studies.[2]
The Chinese term for sinology, 漢學, and Japanese kangaku are represented by the same Chinese characters, but in Japan a distinction is made between kangaku and sinology.
