从海关洋员到汉学家——德国人穆麟德的汉学之路及其汉学思想

From Foreign Staff in the Chinese Maritime Customs Service to a Sinologist:Paul Georg von Mollendorff's Way to Sinology and His Sinological Works

德国人穆麟德曾先后在中国海关和德国驻华领事馆任职,为李鸿章洋幕僚。在华工作引起了穆麟德对汉学的兴趣,他发表了《汉籍目录便览》《满文文学杂论》等汉学作品,一度在汉学界颇有影响。现有文献基本都是从历史学和政治学角度探讨穆麟德在华以及在朝鲜的政治作为。近年来,国内学界已逐渐关注穆麟德的学术成果,但对穆麟德的生平以及汉学成就的认识仍较模糊,全面论述其汉学成果的著述迄今未见。本文利用历史文献,厘清穆麟德的汉学之路,全面梳理其学术成果并进行评价,介绍其汉学思想概貌。
