List of sinologists
(Redirected from List of Sinologists)
Template:Short description Template:Use dmy dates A list of sinologists around the world, past and present. Sinology is commonly defined as the academic study of China primarily through Chinese language, literature, and history, and often refers to Western scholarship. Its origin "may be traced to the examination which Chinese scholars made of their own civilization."Template:Sfnb
The field of sinology was historically seen to be equivalent to the application of philology to China, and until the 20th century was generally seen as meaning "Chinese philology" (language and literature).Template:Sfnb Sinology has broadened in modern times to include Chinese history, epigraphy, and other subjects.
