Research On Guo Moruo And Sino-Japanese Historical Exchang

Guo Moruo(1896-1978)was a prominent figure in the field of Chinese history.From the 1920 s onwards,he devoted himself to the study of Chinese historiography and achieved remarkable success in this field.Starting from Guo Moruo’s academic career and historical achievements,and the exchanges he carried out in the field of Chinese and Japanese historiography during his stay in Japan and during the New China period,the principles and historical significance of Guo Moruo’s promotion of Sino-Japanese historical exchanges can be explored in depth,which is of great academic significance and value for a better understanding of the study of Guo Moruo and Sino-Japanese historical exchanges.In terms of Guo’s academic career,a good education during his youth profoundly influenced his thinking and academic pursuits,his schooling during his study in Japan provided him with rigorous academic training,and his special life encounters during his exile in Japan inspired his interest in historical research.As a result,Guo Moruo was able to achieve certain achievements in the fields of historical research,such as the study of the pre-Qin plutocrats,the study of the staging of ancient Chinese history,the study of historical figures,and the revision and collation of ancient texts.During his stay in Japan,Guo Moruo was actively involved in the exchange of Chinese and Japanese historiography.Guided by a materialistic view of history,he carried out research on ancient Chinese history and collected a large number of historical materials from various sources.At the same time,he also actively absorbed the research findings of the Japanese historiography,drawing on the traditional sinologists,Lin Taisuke,and was influenced by the academic debates between the Tokyo and Kyoto schools.With the help of his Japanese friends,Guo’s historical research received a great deal of support and assistance.Among them,Keitaro Tanaka and his sons,Kosaku Hamada,as well as Uchiyama Wenzo and Uchiyama Shoten made important contributions to Guo’s historical research.Guo’s historical achievements were also translated and disseminated in Japanese Sinology,influencing the Japanese Sinology community of the time.These exchanges and collaborations laid a solid foundation for Guo’s historical research and made a positive contribution to Sino-Japanese historical exchanges.After the founding of New China,Guo Moruo actively promoted historical exchanges between China and Japan.Among other things,his academic visits to Japan had a profound impact on the historiography of both China and Japan.He had extensive academic contacts with Japanese historians such as Kiyoshi Inoue and others,and formed deep academic friendships.In addition to this,Guo Moruo also actively promoted visits to China by Japanese academic groups,and his views on the "division of China’s historical periods" were again the subject of intense debate between the Chinese and Japanese academics,all of which contributed to the exchange of history between the two countries.Guo Moruo was an important figure in the promotion of historical exchanges between China and Japan,and his promotion was based on two principles.Firstly,he was guided by the Marxist materialist view of history and focused on the objectivity and scientific nature of history.Secondly,he insisted on the subjectivity of Chinese historiography and actively disseminated Chinese historical achievements and Chinese historical research methods.These principles have played an important role in promoting exchanges between Chinese and Japanese historiography.In addition,Guo Moruo’s promotion of Sino-Japanese historiographical exchanges is also historically significant,not only in promoting exchanges and interchange between the historiography of the two countries,but also in helping to promote Sino-Japanese friendship and cultural exchanges.
