Abstract

Abstract

Philology is the common academic tradition in both China and the West.In the West,philology began in Greece as early as the third century BCE,which has been regarded as the origin of the various modern disciplines of the humanities.In China,philology encompasses paleography,phonology,exegetics,textual studies,bibliography,documentation,and evidential studies.It had been the academic foundation since the Han dynasty and reached a high peak in the Qianlong-Jiaqing scholarship of the Qing dynasty.Since the beginning of the twentieth century,with the rise of modern linguistics and the ramifications of other humanities disciplines,philology has declined in both the West and East.In recent decades,however,philology has presented a tendency of reviving and reforming.Various kinds of new philology have emerged and are developing into world philology.New philology/world philology emphasizes investigating socio-historical contexts and language-cultural implications by studying and interpreting primary literature(either textual or in other media).As a result,this new tendency can reintegrate the various disciplines of the humanities.As the common tradition of China and the West,new philology/world philology can throw away the endless disputes concerning the superiority of Chinese learning or Western learning.Because of its emphasis on the combination of evidential study and analytical research,new philology/world philology as a research approach can lead to greatly improved outcomes of solid documentation,profound interpretation,and international academic standards,eventually integrating Chinese humanities with world humanities.
