Features: Shinto is the indigenous religion of Japan. Tengen Shinto is one of the major schools in the history of modern Japanese Shinto, whose doctrines were deeply influenced by the thought of the Song Dynasty philosopher Zhu Xi in China. This book systematically compares and analyzes the doctrines of Tengen Shinto and the teachings of Neo-Confucianism, seeking points of convergence to explain the process by which Shinto, as a uniquely Japanese cultural form, absorbed foreign cultures. This book fills a gap in the study of Eastern thought history in China.
