The main topic of my research is ‘Confucianism’s translation and interaction from past to modern times in East Asia’. I am focusing on the movement of knowledge in modern times, and examining the changes and translations of that time and era with cultural interaction’s view point. Culture interaction is not only interchanging between several cultures but through also translation, cultural mergers, collision, and new formation when the cultures meet. Studying these methods, I believe that we can understand how East Asian culture and thought changed with Confucianism from past to contemporary form.
I am focusing especially on three main fields; Confucianism, academism, and education. The education and academic research of modern East Asia was influenced by political and social situations. Confucianism is an important segment of Asian mentality and politics. Therefore it is also an important key in order to understand the East Asian society. My aim is to determine how the education and research in East Asia were composed and how it influenced modern and contemporary Asian society.
