大谷光瑞与中国——以明治、大正时期为中心

■tani Kōzui and China:Focus on His Career during the Meiji and Taishō period

引言日本国内对真宗西本愿寺宗教领袖大谷光瑞(1876-1948)的纪念与评价,是一个很值得关注的话题。本来在二战以后很长时期,光瑞主要是被与其直接有关的教门势力所纪念。如1954年的《镜如上人年谱》,是宗门内部为纪念光瑞逝世七周年而编。1956年,大谷光瑞猊下记念会出版了《大谷光瑞师の生涯》。

There are many publications on studies of■tani Kōzui and his expedition teams mainly by the Japanese scholars in recent years.They provided a lot of new and specify information about■tani Kōzui himself and the historical background for his career.But it seems that there are few Chinese scholars pay enough attention to these Japanese publications yet.As Chinese scholars,we need to know what the Japanese scholars had found and what they want to express through the studies on■tani Kōzui.In fact,there are two mainly aspects for the new studies on■tani Kōzui.Firstly,Japanese scholars stress that the areas of■tani Expedition teams were not limited in the central Asia and the northwest of China,but in a wider range of Asia.Secondly,they praised■tani Kōzui was a historical giant who believed the Pan-Asianism.So that either■tani or his expedition teams deserved to be evaluated today.This paper is only a review and introduction of some contents of Japanese scholars’publications.I just want to remind Chinese scholars to concern for the new trends of Japanese studies,and wish more Chinese scholars to give more professional responses to it.
