Utilizing over a decade of overseas study experience, the author uses a wealth of hand and images to depict the development of Sinology in both Eastern and Western regions. The publication of this book marks the completion of the author's plan for a comprehensive history of Sinology abroad and fills the research gap in domestic academia. Renowned international Sinologist and intellectual historian Yu Ying-shih personally wrote the preface, praising it as "a foundational study that is urgently needed in academia today. He categorizes Sinological studies into two major systems: the 'Confucian Cultural Circle' and the 'Christian Cultural Circle,' which he believes is a highly insightful and historically grounded approach. He hopes that this book will receive a warm response from Chinese readers after its publication!"
