Chronology of paul pelliot's characters

Born in Paris on May 28th, 1878. Studied at Stannis College in Paris. After graduation, he entered the French Academy and studied under the sinologist Sha Sha (&; Eacute; Douard Chavannes) and the Indian scientist Sylvain Levi.

In p>1899, he was selected as a boarder of the zhina Antiquities Survey.

In p>19, in order to expand French scholars' research on the cultures of the Far East countries, the French Academy of France reorganized the original French Annam Archaeological Group into the French National Far East Institute, headquartered in Hanoi, which studied all kinds of knowledge from India, Central Asia, Northeast Asia, Southeast Asia to East Asia. In 1956, the Institute moved to Paris. Pelliot works in this college.

In p>191, pelliot, who was only 22 years old, was employed as a professor in Far East School. While focusing on the historical geography of zhina, India and even the whole Southeast Asia, he devoted himself to the review of the Chinese catalogue version. He began to try to use the comparative textual research method of historical phonetics to study the names and places of foreigners transliterated in Chinese, and paid attention to foreign religions and pagan factions in China. Later, he studied the relationship between the origin of Buddhism in China and Taoism, thus noticing the connection between China and India and the Western Regions. Its achievements quickly attracted the attention of sinologists.

in p>192, pelliot visited China for the third time and collected a large number of books and carved works of art.

In p>193, pelliot translated The Records of True Wax and Local Customs written by Da Guan in Yuan and Zhou Dynasties into French and published it in Paris with annotations.

During p>19-193, pelliot was sent by the school to China for three times, and collected a large number of ancient antiquities, and made contact with collectors such as Zuo Zongtang's descendants.

He left Vietnam for home in p>194. In the same year, he published "Two Texts of Jiaoguang India" in Paris.

in p>195, after the news of the new archaeological discovery of Central Asia by Sir Aurel stein spread to Europe, in 196, pelliot was appointed by the French Academy of Epigraphy and Ancient Chinese Characters and the Asiatic Society to make an investigation in Central Asia.

On June 15th, 196, pelliot set out from Paris to explore Central Asia with Louis Vaillant, a military doctor, and Charles Nouette, a photographer. Three people entered China's territory of Xinjiang by train via Moscow and Tashkent. The expedition arrived in Kashgar at the end of August and stayed at the Russian Consulate General for a while. China officials were surprised by pelliot's fluent Chinese and provided various conveniences for the expedition. The expedition left Kashgar, the first stop was Tumushuk village, and then it went to Kuqa.

In p>197, the expedition found a long-lost language document written in Brahmi script in Kuqa. These lost languages were later translated by pelliot's teacher, Levi, into a second Toxophone language. The expedition first arrived in Urumqi in September of the same year, pelliot went to Yanqi for investigation, and arrived in Urumqi in October. In Urumqi, pelliot received a volume of writing about the Thousand Buddha Cave in Shazhou presented by Lord Lan.

in February, 198, in order to consult the ancient manuscripts of Hokkekyo unearthed in Dunhuang, the expedition team arrived in Dunhuang. The British explorer Stein had stolen about 7, volumes of ancient books from the Mogao Grottoes in Dunhuang the year before (197). Pelliot negotiated with Taoist Wang who protected the Mogao Grottoes about entering the Tibetan Sutra Cave. Here pelliot's fluent Chinese once again played a role. After three weeks' investigation, pelliot selected about 2, volumes of the most valuable documents. Pelliot negotiated with Taoist Wang, who planned to rebuild the Mogao Grottoes, and finally agreed to sell these cultural relics to pelliot for 5 taels of silver (about 9 pounds). Because Stein didn't know Chinese, there were many worthless things in the documents he took away. On the contrary, all the documents selected by pelliot, who was familiar with 13 languages including Chinese, were excellent, including the newly discovered biography to the Five Tianzhu Countries written by Hui Chao, a Silla monk in the Tang Dynasty. In the same year, pelliot published "An Interview with the Cave of Tibetan Scriptures in Dunhuang" in the Journal of the French Far East Institute.

In p>199, pelliot presented several rare Dunhuang books to Duan Fang, the governor of Zhili, and some scholars such as Luo Zhenyu and Wang Guowei, which immediately attracted the attention of China academic circles. Pelliot published "New Horizon of Art and Archaeology in China" to introduce the research results of Luo Zhenyu and Wang Guowei to Europe.

The expedition returned to Paris on October 24th, 199. However, pelliot was unexpectedly severely criticized by his colleagues in Far East College, saying that the expedition wasted public funds and brought back forged documents. They think that Stein in England has taken away all the documents in Dunhuang. Later, Stein published Adventure Travels in 1912, and announced that a large number of documents were left in Dunhuang, which dispelled the doubts about pelliot. Since then, pelliot has published many papers, such as Thousand Buddha Cave in Dunhuang, which has a great influence on Sinology.
