Overview
Centering on Confucius as a cultural symbol, this book systematically traces the dissemination, reception, and evolution of his legacy in Japan. The author approaches the subject from two main dimensions: first, the realm of belief, offering a detailed examination of the historical transformations of Confucian temples in Japan (such as Yushima Seidō), statues of Confucius, and the Shikiten (Confucian memorial ceremonies); second, the realm of thought and literature, analyzing the portrayal of Confucius in Japanese poetry, Buddhist scriptures, schools of thought, and literary works from ancient to modern times. The book clearly presents the complete trajectory of Confucius in Japan-from veneration to criticism to renewed understanding-revealing how Confucianism merged with indigenous Japanese culture and profoundly influenced its politics, education, ethics, and social order. With meticulous historical sources and diverse perspectives, this work illuminates the deep interactions in Sino-Japanese cultural exchange. It stands as a significant contribution to the study of Confucianism's overseas transmission and offers a crucial pathway for understanding Japanese culture and intellectual history. 全书以孔子这一文化符号为核心,系统梳理其在日本的传播、接受与演变历程。作者从两大维度展开:一是信仰层面,详考日本孔庙(如汤岛圣堂)、孔子像、释奠祭典的历史变迁;二是思想与文学层面,剖析古代至近代日本诗歌、佛学典籍、学派学说及文学作品中的孔子形象。 书中清晰呈现了孔子在日本从被推崇、批判到重新认知的完整脉络,揭示儒学如何与日本本土文化融合,深刻影响其政治、教育、伦理与社会秩序。作品以详实史料与多元视角,展现中日文化交流的深层互动,既是儒学海外传播研究的力作,也为理解日本文化与思想史提供关键路径。
