초록

So far, a lot of research reports regarding the Chinese eunuch have been published in the English academic field. Some of them successfully provided kinds of academically useful understandings. Although they expose limits in a certain degree, we are able to find distinct features of the English academic field. A key feature of the research results in the English area is the medical approach to the Chinese eunuch. This is one of the most striking features compared to other East Asian academia such as China, Japan, South Korea. Western medical doctors and government officials could individually meet and talk with the eunuch who served at the palace of the Qing dynasty in the late 19th century. They simultaneously obtained the in-depth information about the lifestyle and physical conditions of the eunuch. The second feature is that there had been emphasis on the objective view of understanding the eunuch from an early age. They first questioned the cause of the eunuch’s emergence and tried to establish its role in the management of the empire. Therefore, there is a strong tendency to understand the issues of the eunuch as a structural problem in the development of history. The third is that the research accomplishments of the English academic community have been disproportionately accumulated. Compared to the eunuch of Ming Dynasty, the research conditions of the Tang Dynasty are fairly small and the research results regarding the eunuch of the Han Dynasty are incredibly poor. The lack of syntactic access to the Chinese eunuch in the English academia is a clear indication of the unbalanced research work that was done at different time periods. So how can the research results of the English academia with these characteristics be used in the future? In the first place, it can be combined with the existing East Asian academic achievements to contribute to greater diversity in the study of the Chinese eunuch. In this respect, we can presume the possibility of a comparative analysis of eastern and western cultures for future events. This allows the consideration of the Chinese eunuch issues within the world history context. It can be seen either through analysis as part of a simultaneous phenomenon or by comparison of conditional similarities that differ from time to time. Next, it is likely to be used to expand the field of research on Chinese eunuch. We can overcome the problem that the existing East Asian academia maintained a politically biased view on the eunuch issues and develop new research perspectives. This approach could offer new possibilities for analyzing the eunuch problems from a social historic perspective, partly by transforming them from a political one.

Abstract

So far, a lot of research reports regarding the Chinese eunuch have been published in the English academic field. Some of them successfully provided kinds of academically useful understandings. Although they expose limits in a certain degree, we are able to find distinct features of the English academic field. A key feature of the research results in the English area is the medical approach to the Chinese eunuch. This is one of the most striking features compared to other East Asian academia such as China, Japan, South Korea. Western medical doctors and government officials could individually meet and talk with the eunuch who served at the palace of the Qing dynasty in the late 19th century. They simultaneously obtained the in-depth information about the lifestyle and physical conditions of the eunuch. The second feature is that there had been emphasis on the objective view of understanding the eunuch from an early age. They first questioned the cause of the eunuch’s emergence and tried to establish its role in the management of the empire. Therefore, there is a strong tendency to understand the issues of the eunuch as a structural problem in the development of history. The third is that the research accomplishments of the English academic community have been disproportionately accumulated. Compared to the eunuch of Ming Dynasty, the research conditions of the Tang Dynasty are fairly small and the research results regarding the eunuch of the Han Dynasty are incredibly poor. The lack of syntactic access to the Chinese eunuch in the English academia is a clear indication of the unbalanced research work that was done at different time periods. So how can the research results of the English academia with these characteristics be used in the future? In the first place, it can be combined with the existing East Asian academic achievements to contribute to greater diversity in the study of the Chinese eunuch. In this respect, we can presume the possibility of a comparative analysis of eastern and western cultures for future events. This allows the consideration of the Chinese eunuch issues within the world history context. It can be seen either through analysis as part of a simultaneous phenomenon or by comparison of conditional similarities that differ from time to time. Next, it is likely to be used to expand the field of research on Chinese eunuch. We can overcome the problem that the existing East Asian academia maintained a politically biased view on the eunuch issues and develop new research perspectives. This approach could offer new possibilities for analyzing the eunuch problems from a social historic perspective, partly by transforming them from a political one.
