Yano Jinichi - Yano Jinichi

A historian of oriental history, he particularly studied China's diplomatic history and modern history. He was born in Yamagata Prefecture. He graduated from the Department of Western History at the University of Tokyo, and in 1905 (Meiji 38) was invited by the Qing Dynasty Government Department to teach at the Jinshikan, where he provided new education to young people. During this time he wrote articles for the magazine "Yanjin," introducing historical sites in Beijing, and traveled to "Eastern Mongolia" with Kuwahara Jitsuzo and Mishima Kaiun. In 1919 (Taisho 1), he was appointed assistant professor at Kyoto University, and progressed to professorship until retirement. His two main works, "Research on China's Modern Foreign Relations" and "Modern Chinese Diplomatic History," are unparalleled in their mastery of Western and Chinese records and their use. However, his argument that Manchuria, Mongolia, Hui (Xinjiang), and Tibet were not inherent Chinese territory invited controversy both at home and abroad. He wrote more than 30 books, and his last one, "A History of the Chinese People's Revolution" (1966, not for sale), criticized the Cultural Revolution that was taking place at that time as an irrational act.

東洋史家、とくに中国の外交史、近代史を研究。山形県に生まれる。東京大学西洋史科を卒業し、1905年（明治38）清(しん)国政府学部より進士館教習として招聘(しょうへい)され、青年に新教育を行う。この間、雑誌『燕塵(えんじん)』に執筆し、北京(ぺキン)旧跡を紹介、また桑原隲蔵(じつぞう)、三島海雲と「東蒙古(もうこ)」を旅行した。12年（大正1）京都大学助教授に任ぜられ、教授に進み定年を迎えた。主著『支那(しな)近代外国関係研究』および『近世支那外交史』は、これほどよく欧文、漢文の記録を読みこなして利用したものはない。ただ、その満（満州）・蒙（蒙古）・回（新疆(しんきょう)）・蔵（チベット）は支那固有の領土ではないという論は、内外の物議を招いた。著書30余冊、その最後の『中国人民革命史論』（1966・非売品）は、当時起こっていた文化大革命が妄動であることを批判した。
