日本第一部中国文学史探微
明治十五年（1882年）末松谦澄撰写了日本第一部中国文学史《支那古文学史略》，从此拉开了日本人撰写中国文学史的序幕，随后日本相继涌现了大批中国文学史著作。这些中国文学史著作的出现，一方面是由于日本受到西方现代史学的影响，对中国文学进行历史性的概括总结，以使日本的汉籍“导之有序、学之得要”；另一方面是因为日本文学自古以来深受中国文学的影响，编订中国文学史可以对日本本国文学起到辨章学术、考境源流的作用。中国学者受此启发也开始进行文学史的撰写、探索，并在体例编排和创作方式上受到日本学者的影响。作为日本第一部中国文学史，尽管《支那古文学史略》在体例上还受缚于清代的国学框架，在内容上有欠精细，但是末松谦诚的这一开拓性行为已经使他的研究具有了近代学术的意义。

A Study on Japan’s First History of Chinese Literature
In the 15th year of the Meiji Period (in 1882), the Japanese scholar Suematsu Kentyo wrote the first History of Chinese Literature, entitled Zhina gu wenxue shi lue. Since then Japanese scholars have been writing studies on the history of Chinese literature, and after that there appeared a great number of works and studies on the history of Chinese literature. The appearance of these works on the history of Chinese literature was possible because Japan was influenced by the modern historiography of the west and these scholars were thus able to make a historical summary of Chinese literature, so that the Chinese texts in Japan could be “listed up systematically and studied with a clear outline”. On the other hand, it was because Japanese literature was always deeply influenced by Chinese literature, and a systematic outline of the history of Chinese literature could also have the effect of academic clarifications and ascertaining the textual sources. Chinese scholars were inspired by these efforts and started also to write histories of literature or studies in this field. The Chinese scholars were influenced by the Japanese scholars with regard to the arrangement and structure of their works. Being the first work on the history of Chinese literature, the literary structure of the Zhina gu wenxue shi lue was still restricted by the framework of the national studies of the Qing Dynasty, and the contents are sometimes not elaborated enough, but the work of Suematsu Kentyo was ground-breaking and already had the significance of inaugurating modern scholarship in this field.
