Abstract: Given that the Shanhaijing was introduced to Japan relatively early and had a profound, enduring impact, it serves as a typical text along the “Road of Books.” An analysis of its reception offers a vital lens to examine the dynamics of foreign cultural assimilation in ancient Japan. Confronted with the hegemonic influx of Chinese civilization, ancient Japan tended to disassemble and prune various texts into discrete “knowledge bundles,” which were then classified and reconfigured according to indigenous cultural logic to achieve internalization. This initial phase is analytically termed the stage of “subtractive accommodation.” Conversely, ancient Japanese intellectuals might also re-interpret and elaborate on these classics through its own cultural perspective, extracting salient thematic keywords to serve as a structural framework, which was then continually replenished with homologous local content, effectively transforming the classic into a dynamic “thematic aggregate.” This secondary phase is designated the stage of “additive integration.” It is the synergistic operation of these dual mechanisms of subtractive accommodation and additive integration that enables ancient Japan to achieve the Yǐ Jǐ Huà Tā (以己化他, “transforming the Other through the Self”) and solidify the foundation of its distinct cultural system.

Key words: knowledge production, knowledge transmission, Shanhaijing, knowledge bundles, thematic aggregate

摘要： 《山海经》传入日本年代较早,影响深远,可作为“书籍之路”上的典型文本,考察其接受情况有助于管窥古代日本的外来文化接受机制。在处理强势输入的中华文明时,古代日本倾向于将各类文本拆分、剪裁成“知识束”,并按自身的文化逻辑进行分类与重构,以此完成知识的内化,这可被视为“做减法”的阶段。另一方面,古代日本还以自身的文化思维重新解读、阐释典籍,提取出核心关键词并以之为结构框架,持续置入本土的同类内容,使得典籍文本转变为一个“主题集合”,这可被视为“做加法”的阶段。在“做减法”与“做加法”双重机制的共同作用下,古代日本完成了对中华文化的“以己化他”与本土文化体系的构建。
