Marcel Granet

French sinologist. A Durkheimian sociologist, he applied his sociology to the study of ancient Chinese society. He studied sinology under Chavannes and went to China to study. After that, he developed an innovative system as a professor at the École des Oriental Languages ​​and then at the University of Paris, where he was popular among young researchers. In his books such as "Ancient Chinese Rituals and Songs," "Religion of the Chinese," "Ancient Chinese Dances and Legends," "Chinese Civilization," and "Chinese Thought," he explains the existence of group marriages in ancient Chinese rural society, and the transformation from a matrilineal to a patrilineal society, all of which are original views. However, because his research relies mainly on translations, he has been criticized for not examining the original Chinese texts sufficiently and for only running with theory.

Japanese:

フランスの中国学者。デュルケーム派の社会学者にして、その社会学を古代中国社会研究に応用した。中国学をシャバンヌに学び、中国に留学したのち、東洋語学校、ついでパリ大学の教授として斬新(ざんしん)な体系を展開し、若手研究者の間に人気があった。『支那(しな)古代の祭礼と歌謡』『支那人の宗教』『古代シナの舞踊と伝説』『シナ文明』『シナ思想』などの著書により、古代中国の農村社会における集団婚の存在、母系社会より父系社会への変革などを説き、いずれも独創的な見解である。しかし、その研究はもっぱら翻訳に頼るため、漢文の原典に対する吟味が不十分であり、理論のみが独走するという批判が一方にある。
