Extract

The following article is the first part of a translation of Dentō Chūgoku hō – hinagatasetsu ni taisuru ichishiron by Nakamura Shigeo, which was published in 1979 in the Hōsei riron 12:1 (Niigata University). The second part will appear in the next issue of the International Journal of Asian Studies.
