Résumé
本论文主要研究16-20世纪初汉字欧洲传播的简史,勾勒历史线索,划出历史分期,分析每个阶段汉字欧洲传播的性质和特点。
论文主要使用16-20世纪初欧洲传教士、汉学家等编写的汉西辞书、汉语教科书、与汉字有关的论文等材料进行研究。
结论:16-20世纪初汉字欧洲传播简史分为三个大的阶段:
第一阶段,1565年- 1684年:汉字向欧洲的介绍,欧洲人初识汉字。
第二阶段,1685年-1812年:欧洲本土出现了汉西辞书及汉语教科书,并出现一些对汉字的研究甚至论战。
第三阶段,1813年-1911年:汉西辞书和汉语教科书大量编纂。随着欧洲进入“专业汉学”阶段,汉字传播也进入欧洲教育体系。
Abstract
On the basis of bilingual Chinese–Occidental language dictionaries and Chinese textbooks compiled by European missionaries and sinologists from the 16th century to the early 20th century, we will present the dissemination of Chinese characters in Europe during this period. We propose that this process can be further divided into three stages:
Stage I –1565-1684: Chinese characters were introduced for the first time into Europe. Europeans began to learn about the special features of this writing system.
Stage II –1685-1812: Chinese dictionaries and textbooks began to be compiled in Europe. Some studies, even some controversy over the nature of Chinese characters appeared.
Stage III –1813-1911: Dictionaries of Chinese-Occidental languages and textbooks were compiled in abundance. Chinese characters spread into the European education system as Europe entered the ‘professional Sinology’ stage.
Finally, we also draw some conclusions about the different characteristics of each stage during this presentation.
