Reform and opening up ushered in the spring of China’s foreign cultural exchanges。In the context of policy support，The exchanges between nj bet365 and Western philologists are getting closer，The travels of some famous Sinologists to China have become a legend in the academic circles。British philologist Ji Dewei (D. N. Keightley) participated in the "Yinxu Pen Conference" held in Anyang in 1984，With Hu Houxuan、Zhang Zhengxang and other scholars communicated；American scholar F. Coulmas visited China in April 1989 at the invitation of Beijing Normal University，At Beijing Normal University、Peking University、The Institute of Ethnology, nj bet365 Academy of Social Sciences gave an academic lecture；French scholar Wang Demai (L. Vandermeersch) studied under Jao Tsung-i and other academic masters，Has visited nj bet365 universities for academic exchanges many times。Meanwhile，nj bet365 scholars are also actively carrying out study abroad work。Li Xueqin went to the UK as a visiting scholar in 1981，Established good academic cooperation with Alan and other philologists at the University of London。Qiu Xigui has participated in overseas academic exchanges many times since 1982，And as a visiting scholar, he taught ancient nj bet365 courses at the University of Washington in the United States from 1982 to 1983。nj bet365 academic theories were translated and introduced into the West by Western scholars，For example, Ma Jidao in 2000 (G. L. Mattos) and Jerry Roger (J. The English version of Qiu Xigui's "nj bet365 Writing" translated by Norman was published in the United States。Exploring the academic history of exchanges between nj bet365 and Western philology in the new era，Very significant。

Yao Xiaosui pointed out in "History of nj bet365 Philology Preface": "Engage in research in any discipline，Everyone must understand its entire development process。Only on the basis of inheriting and developing previous research work，Accumulate experience，Learn a lesson，Capture the essence，Remove the dross，It is possible to understand the crux of the problem，Continuously innovate，Promote the development of this discipline。”However，At present, there are few systematic reviews of the achievements of Western philology in China。

The West has a long history of research on nj bet365 characters，Since missionaries entered China，The study of nj bet365 characters begins。Since the 1980s，Western scholars have made great progress in the research of nj bet365 character theory。For example, De Fanke (J. DeFrancis）、Ange (J. M. Unger) and other scholars have discussed the nature of nj bet365 characters，Overturned the so-called "conclusive conclusion" in Western academic circles that "nj bet365 characters are words that express concepts"。However，Currently, domestic scholars have only written about specific persons、Articles discussed in special books，As Jiang Xiuruo said in "Research on the Context of Overseas nj bet365 Character Studies Needs Strengthening": "The context of the history of overseas nj bet365 character studies is not very clear，Theoretical discussion seems insufficient。There is far less attention to the research methods used by foreign scholars and the evolution of theoretical concepts than to the study of written materials。For foreign academic circles on the nature of nj bet365 characters、Font、Configuration、Word relationship、System level、Discussion on theoretical issues such as development laws，There is still a lack of systematic review and in-depth discussion of topics。”

The same problem exists in the organization of general philology results，The West already had preliminary discussions at the end of the 19th century，General philology nj bet365 in the 1980s has become systematic、Characteristics of scientific methods。Sudden resurrection (G. Sampson's Writing System: A Linguistic Introduction (1985)，De Fanck’s Visible Speech: The Diverse Oneness of Writing Systems (1989) and other works have great influence in the world，However, there is little history of common Western philology in China、An article describing and introducing the development and evolution of the history of comparative philology。Comparative philology was born in China at the end of the 20th century，Zhou Youguang's "A Preliminary Study on Comparative Philology" (1998) and Wang Yuanlu's "Comparative Philology" (2001) were published successively，marks the establishment of the discipline of comparative philology。It’s worth noting，Although the West has not formed the specialized discipline of comparative philology，Some scholars have mastered the knowledge of multiple languages，Writing a treatise，Also consciously or unconsciously compare different writing systems。The nj bet365 methods involved、nj bet365 perspectives are worthy of attention。such as W. Chiang’s A Comparison of Maya and Oracle Bone Scripts, etc.。

The background of academic research in China and the West is different，There are often differences in the emphasis when studying a certain issue。Absorb the advantages of Western philology research，Can provide a new perspective for theoretical research related to China。The study of nj bet365 character studies is based on traditional primary schools，Attach importance to text research using documents as the carrier，Not as much attention to spoken language as in the West。Western traditional philosophy，That is, Western rationalism in the name of "logocentrism" has a profound influence on the study of philology。“Logoscentrism” focuses on spoken pronunciation，Put the status of spoken pronunciation above other attributes of text。Aristotle said in "Explanation": "Spoken language is the symbol of spiritual experience，Writing is the symbol of spoken language。Just as all people’s calligraphy is not the same，Same，Not all people have the same speaking voice；But the spiritual experience directly marked by these sounds，It is the same for everyone，As our experience reflects these things are the same for all people。”Like Coulmas，When he studies text problems, he pays more attention to the research perspective of oral language。For example, when analyzing the writing systems of Japan and Korea，Coulmas focused on analyzing how the two writing systems transformed nj bet365 characters to adapt to the spoken language of the country；When interpreting literal definitions，He used a lot of pen and ink to analyze the relationship between spoken language and written words，Considering that all writing, including nj bet365 characters, was not developed as a tool for recording spoken language，On the contrary, it is a model of spoken language。Such thinking related to nj bet365 characters is relatively new。And，Western scholars attach great importance to the analogy between different writing systems，Often by analyzing a certain writing system and inferring other writing systems，This is different from the way nj bet365 scholars discuss the origin of writing based on archaeological materials。For example, on the early development of writing，Because Sumerian writing is the only writing system whose complete early development history can be known，Western scholars often use Sumerian writing as an analogy to the development of nj bet365 characters。Bao Zeyue (W. G. The Origin and Early Development of the nj bet365 Writing System by Boltz，This is true of De Fanck’s Visible Speech: The Diverse Oneness of Writing Systems。

Since the reform and opening up，The academic exchanges between China and the West are getting closer。By studying Western philological theories since the 1980s，We can explore the research theories of nj bet365 and Western philology、Interaction in research methods。This can not only make up for the shortcomings in academic history research，It can also promote the rapid development of philological theories on both sides，Profound significance。
