Abstract
In today's world, the state of a country's publishing industry can, to a certain extent, reflect its conditions across various sectors, including economy and culture. Chinese philosophical thought has long served as one of the foundational elements of Japanese culture. In early and premodern history, Japanese Confucianism and Kokugaku—both constructed on the basis of Chinese philosophy—formed the basis for understanding modern Japanese national character. The exchange of ideas in the universal and profound field of philosophy reflects not only the intellectual dialogue among academic elites in both countries but also the cultural and ideological interactions at the grassroots level. This study examines the publications related to Chinese philosophy in Japan from 1945 to 2023. It systematically collects and organizes relevant publication data, employing statistical methods for data cleaning, verification, and analysis. The overall research is divided into five stages, through which the changing trends and influencing factors in the publication of Chinese philosophy-related works in postwar Japan are elaborated and analyzed.
