The Spread Of Japanese Historical Materialism Historical Works In China In The 1930s

After 1919,a large number of Japanese scholars’ works on Marxist philosophy,especially the content of the materialistic view of history,were translated into China,which promoted the spread of the materialistic view of history in China and laid a solid theoretical foundation for the Chineseization of Marxism.Around the 1920 s,Japanese scholars began to use the materialistic view of history to study Chinese history.In the 1930 s,the discussions on Chinese slavery,Asian modes of production,and Chinese feudal society were directly related to three works: "The Social and Economic History of China" written by Katsumi Moritani,"A Reader on the History of China" written by Kesami Sano,and "Ancient Social History" written by JirōHayakawa,which had an important academic impact on the domestic academic community.Therefore,this paper intends to focus on the three translations mentioned above and examine the dissemination and acceptance of the study of the materialistic view of history by the Japanese academy in China.The paper is divided into three parts: introduction,main body,and conclusion.The introduction introduces the significance of this study and previous research.The main body of this article has four sections.The first section briefly describes the overall situation of the dissemination of Japanese historical materialism writings in China,so that the academic community can understand the basic overview of the introduction of Marxist historical materialism into China through Japanese channels;The second to fourth sections respectively discuss the dissemination and influence of "Chinese Socio Economic History","Chinese History Reader",and "Ancient Social History" in China.The conclusion explores the characteristics of the dissemination and influence of the three translated works in China.
