Xue-Guanhua: A Ryukyuan Source of Language Education

Dániel Z. Kádár

5/5 ( ratings)

The Sino-Japonic manuscript Xue-guanhua/Gaku-kanwa , compiled for students from the Ryukyu Kingdom, is a noteworthy historical Chinese educational source. It represents historical cross-cultural interactions between Okinawan residents in China and the locals in a wide variety of speech situations, and as such it is one of the few historical cross-cultural sources available on Chinese communication and social behaviour. Along with revealing norms of historical Chinese communication, Xue-guanhua provides a vivid description of Chinese social and cultural customs. The present volume, which provides a detailed introduction and annotated translation of Xue-guanhua, is relevant not only to researchers but also to readers with interest in Chinese and Okinawan language and culture.
