Abstract
An important feature of Naitō Konan’s historiography is his progressive view of history. The development of this progressive view came not only from modern Western scholarship but also from early-modern Chinese and Japanese traditional scholarship. Examples of such Chinese scholarship are Du You’s Tong dian, Zhu Xi’s Zhuzi yu lei, Wang Yinglin’s Kunxue jiwen and Zhang Xuecheng’s Wen shi tong yi, which were all works that Naitō liked to read. This essay will show Naitō’s points of convergence with Zhang Xuecheng’s scholarship, in particular, his advocating that the Six Classics are all historical works, and will evaluate Naitō’s attempts to fi nd spiritual similarities between Chinese and Western scholarship.
Key words: Naitō Konan; Hu Shih; Zhang Ertian; Jin Xingxiang; Zhang Xuecheng; Du You; Tominaga Nakamoto; Wenshi tongyi
