Features: The research objects of Sinology include all fields related to Chinese thought and culture, such as Chinese language, literature, history, philosophy, art, and religion. It emphasizes traditional classic texts while also focusing on international extension and transmission. It has the nature of diversified, marginal, and comparative cultural studies, requiring a broader vision, knowledge structure, and language skills beyond national and cultural research. Linguistics is a cutting-edge discipline in the contemporary era, and the study of Chinese linguistics is naturally the foundation of Sinology. The computational application of Chinese writing systems should also be paid attention to. Teaching and research on Chinese as a second language for foreigners are the future and hope of Sinology, as well as the need for building bases for teaching Chinese to foreigners. They are also one of the key research focuses of Sinology.
