论中日两国传统蒙学读物的差异

The Comparison between Chinese and Japanese Traditional Initiatory Textbooks

蒙学读物是传统文化的重要载体。中国的启蒙教育开展得很早,蒙学读物历史悠久。日本自平安时代后期开始也出现了本土的蒙学读物。由于它们是在不断引进和借鉴中国蒙学读物的过程中发展的,所以中日两国的传统蒙学读物具有一定的相似点。但是,由于两国的社会结构、民族传统等都有所不同,它们又体现出极大的差异,这些都反映出中日两国在近代之前教育文化的不同发展特点。

Initiatory textbooks are important vehicles of traditional culture. Chinese initiatory educahon was carried out very eany, anu Chinese initiatory textbooks have a long history. Japanese indigenous initiatory textbook came into being in the late period of the Heian age. Since Japanese initiatory textbooks developed during the process of introducing and absorbing Chinese initiatory textbooks, Chinese and Japanese traditional initiatory textbooks share a lot of similarities. However, many dissimilarities are embodied in them because of the differences in the social structure and national tradition in both countries.
