| Research Abstract |
(1) I have ever suggested a historical law on the cross-cultural trades between East and West: they have exchanged special goods and know-hows each other over the long run of time, but they have been wise enough to avoid or reduce the social change caused by external stimulation, substituting something proper for anything alien, if possigle. As a general rule they have supplied each other's need only.
Among Chinese historians as well as Japanese scholars of Chinese history, Most are inclined to make little of foreign influence on Chinese historical development, because they are too much confident of the greatness and uniqueness of Chinese civilization: that is a China-centered view of history. My opinion is some different: through time, the cross-cultural trades have been the most source of change and development in art, science and technology. Ching was no execption in the world history.
(2) Jitsuzo Kuzabara published an article " The contrast between North and South in Chinese History " in 1915. He asid, " Chinese history, so to speak, is a history of the southern expansion of the great culture of Han people " . He nearly evidences of regional cultures in prehistoric China and their cross-cultural trades, in turn developing each culture, which have survived through historical age. At present, J. Kuwabara's opinion might be too nuch mono-centric view to understand Chinese history as it was.
