The Influence of the Chinese National Culture's Western Origin Theory on the Interpretation of The Legend of Mu Tianzi in the Late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China Period
During the period of the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China,Lacouperie's theory that the Chinese national culture originated from the West,was introduced into China through Japan and was widely spread in the Chinese academic community,which had a profound impact on the study of the traffic geography in The Legend of Mu Tianzi and the legends of the Queen Mother of the West.Lacouperie's novel interpretations on the West Expedition of King Mu and the legends of the Queen Mother of the West had also directly affected the research trend of the traffic geography in The Legend of Mu Tianzi and the legends of the Queen Mother of the West in the Chinese academic community of the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China.The"authenticity"of the West Expe-dition of King Mu and the legends of the Queen Mother of the West that was carried forward by the Chinese Culture-Quintessence School had been questioned and criticized by the academic community constantly.The theory of the Chinese national culture's Western Origin had a positive influence on the research of the traffic geography in The Legend of Mu Tianzi,but at the same time also added many errors and confusions to it.
