The imperialist examinations system of Vietnam was abolished in 1919 by the French administration during their colonization, and therefore put an end to the traditional education system. This is a hallmark in the demarcation between Vietnamese Sinology and Confucianism, which had a huge impact on the Vietnamese intellectuals as this was closely related to them as well as to the future development of Vietnam. They started discussions about Vietnamese Sinology published in Nam Phong Tap Chi, together with the analysis of the reasons for the decline of Sinology, a general view about the development of Sinology, borrowing from traditional Chinese thought to teach lessons, and/or the transformation of sinology. These various issues not only preceded the debate about Vietnamese Confucianism in the mid-1920s, there were also socio-culturally important and historically significant. Moreover, the original purpose of the Nam Phong Tap Chi was to promote political propaganda and introduce French culture to the Vietnamese people, hence this active and open-minded interaction made the Sinology somewhat even more interesting. The purpose of this study is to explore the Vietnamese intellectuals in the early twentieth century, as well as their differences, as situated in the structure and ideology of knowledge to better understand the role of Sinology in shaping modern East Asia. |
