Features: Introduction This book is a compilation of some of Professor Huang Junjie's recent research findings—comprising thirteen essays. In terms of content, it can be broadly categorized into two major areas: one is the exploration of the interpretive tradition of Confucian classics in East Asia, and the other is the study of Chinese modes of thinking, particularly the research on "body" thinking. Structurally, it is divided into three parts. The first part, "New Perspectives on the History of Confucianism," consists of four essays. The second part, "Japanese Confucianism and Classical Interpretation," comprises five essays, primarily analyzing the interpretations of Chinese Confucian classics by representative Japanese Confucian scholars over the past three centuries. The third part, "Exploring Confucian Body Thinking," includes four essays that delve into the Chinese thinking tradition, which is highly characteristic of Eastern culture.
