China and Japan are major countries of the Chinese ideograph cultural sphere; whose languages experienced profound changes as western studies approach the east in modern history. Such a change found full expression in the amount of modern technical terms in Chinese ideograph translated from the west. Modern Chinese terminology evolved in the interaction of Chinese and Japanese language. From late 16th century to mid 19th century, Jesuits, protestant missionaries, and Chinese statesmen collaborative created a group of Japan, they were absorbed and constituted the vocabulary in the Dutch Studies (RANGAKU) and Western studies in Japan. As going to Japan for studies and translating Japanese works into Chinese became popular since 1896, the new Chinese words created in the late BAKUFU (tent government) and Meiji period spread to China and contributed to the major source of Chinese new words in the late Qing Dynasty and early Republic of China. The study intends to explore the following aspects of Chinese terminology: its origin in ancient Chinese language and its formation in China and Japan between the 16th and 20th century, the focus is on the interaction of Chinese and Japanese terminology in modern times and the huge impact it made on the modern culture of both countries. A Comprehensive Study of the Culture of Modern Northeast China (the Former Manchuria) Organizer: LIU Jianhui, Associate Professor Northeast China, the former Manchuria, is a critical place in modern Japanese history. All the wars fought for overseas rights and interests, which determined the destiny of Japan, were fought on Manchurian soil. In a certain sense, it is possible to see Japanese modernity as having developed with Manchuria at the center of things. Although its influence was critical on the course of modern Japan, the former Manchuria has not been adequately studied. There have been studies devoted to the political, economic and military history of the area but very few concerning the spiritual, social and cultural life of the people who lived there. This team research project will focus on social and cultural issues, taking into consideration the history and activities of Japanese residents in the former Manchuria.
