Research Outline
I am studying the history of ancient Chinese thought (Qin-Han). My specialist area is the thought trends around the time of Emperor Wu of the Western Han Dynasty (the conflict between Huang-lao thought and Confucianism). An example of work I analyze is Huainanzi. I am also doing research on the Japanese scholars of the Chinese classics during Bakumatsu and Meiji periods.
