法国汉学形成的历史 - 十八世纪法国学者对汉语的学习和研究

This article focusses on the period when French Sinology was officially established in the 18th century, and re-sorts out the Chinese learning and Chinese research of French scholars. France is not only the birthplace of Sinology, but also has led the world's research in the field of Sinology since the 19th century. However, the formation of any mature discipline is not achieved overnight, and the same is true for the study of Chinese in France. Before the establishment of the first Sinology faculty in the French Academy in 1814, the study of French Chinese and Chinese language and culture was in the budding stage of Sinology during the reign of Louis XIV. The academic community generally believes that this stage is the importance of missionary Sinology, especially the contribution of the King of France in 1685, which is an indisputable fact. This article hopes to explore the contribution and influence of French scholars on the formation of Sinology during this period by sorting out the historical materials of Chinese learning by French domestic scholars in the 18th century.
