For a long time, the academic community has lacked research on Utuma, which has led to the fact that Huang Rangaowen, who was studied by Kong Si, was completely unwilling to be heard of. This article systematically evaluates the achievements of Wotuma in Chinese and Chinese studies, discusses the source and important content of the “Guidelines”, and analyzes the writing characteristics and academic impacts of the book. This has certain academic value for expanding the format of Confucius’ research and clarifying the Westernization of Confucius civilization.

Author Introduction: Wang Yan, female, born in 1973, from Shandong Cheng, is currently a professor at the Chinese Academy of Literature and doctoral supervisor. Her important research areas are Chinese modern literature and Chinese studies in mainland China.
In 1879, British leader Thomas Watters (1840-1901) published the “A Guide to the Tablets in a Temple of Confucius” in Shanghai. This is the first Confucius Sacrificial Work written by Orientals, which has a milestone in the history of international communication in the Confucius civilization. In the Preface, the author said: Song Weiton took his pace, hesitated for half a minute, put down his suitcase, and looked for “In the book, he aims to saut the names of those who worshipped Confucius, he should briefly discuss the environment of their lives and careers, as well as their respective works.” [1] This book records the lives and works of 177 famous names who were able to worship the literary house during the Tongguang period of the Qing Dynasty. The main names, place names, works, etc. are marked in Chinese in the brackets, becoming rare Chinese and English works at that time. They are printed by the Shanghai Meihua Library, which has advanced modern printing equipment.
Watuma has been in China for 30 years. He is not only a leader and a Han scholar, but also the favorite and donor to join Dongya Cultural Relics. He has learned to learn about blogs, works, and his diligence in the research and development of Chinese Confucian Taoism is touching. For a long time, the academic community lacked research on his work, which led to the fact that Huang Rangao Wenyan, who was discussed by Kong Yi, was silent, and this provided the writing of this article for the work. This article system evaluates the experience of Wotuma in China andThe Han study results have studied the source and important content of the “Guide to the Literary Sacrificial Positions”, and analyzed the writing characteristics and academic impact of the book. This has certain academic value for expanding the format of Confucius’ research and clarifying the Westernization of Confucius civilization.
1. The life and achievements of Wotuma were from Han.
Wotuma, and Han’s famous names were also called Wats, Domain, Waters, etc. Born on February 9, 1840 in County Down, Irland, he entered Queen’s College (Belfast) in 1857. He became outstanding and had a promising academic performance. He obtained a bachelor’s degree in 1861 and the following year he obtained a master’s degree. In December of the same year, he passed the China Leadership Examination. The following year he was sent to Beijing as a translator and worked in many leaders including Tianjin, Niuzhuang, Luhu, Yichang, Fuzhou, Shantou, Guangzhou, etc. On April 1, 1895, he retired due to poor health. After retirement, he lived in Ealing in western London. As a member of the Royal Asian Society, he actively participated in academic activities until his reign on January 10, 1901.
Regarding the life and works of Wootton, the source of this article is importantly based on the following two articles: First, the Wootton Bushell (1844-1908), written by the British Han scholar Stephen Wootton Bushell (1844-1908). The first published in the Journal of the Royal Asian Society of Great British and Ireland in 1901, and the “On Tang Dynasty Western Regions” translated by Wootton English in 1904 Yuan Chwang’s Travels in India). [2] The second is a personal introduction written by French Han scholar Henri Cordier (1849-1925) in 1901 in T’oung Pao. Gaudi said: “If it weren’t for his poor health, Utoma could have been recorded as a Han school in Drama or Oxford after his death. He had studied Confucianism in China.” [3] These are first-hand information on studying Utoma’s life and works.
Watuma developed a strong interest in Chinese civilization during his tenure as a Chinese leader. He read extensively, did not farm, and wrote extensively, including the Chinese Review, The Chinese Recorder and Missionary Journal, and the Royal Asian Cultural Association NorthThe Journal of the North China Branch of the Royal Asian Society and other famous publications have published many articles. Many articles were later compiled and published independently. They published 5 books in succession, covering various aspects of Chinese civilization such as Chinese language, daily life, Confucianism and Taoism [4].
In the history of natural sciences, the name of Utoma was once named a skylark. The information comes from Taiwan’s “Takao Club” website. The website created a special lyric for Utoma. From 1865-1866, 1876-1877, and 1880-1883, he served in Taiwan Prefecture, Kaohsiung, Haishui and other places [5]. Before him, his subsequent leadership of the Taiwan Prefecture was the famous naturalist Xunhe (Robert Swinhoe, 1836-1877). The convenience of applying the job actually assessed the natural ecology of southern China, especially Taiwan, and became the earliest systematic and serious figure in the history of natural sciences in the world.6. After Xunhe left his post, Utuma continued to provide him with bird samples on Taiwan. In order to thank him for his support, Xunhe named the “Little Skylark” of the Boling family with the “Alauda gulgula wattorsi”. This kind of skylark can still be found in the “A Field Guide to the Birds of Taiwan” written by modern scholar Zhang Wanfu [7].
Watuma’s observation of Taiwanese birds gave birth to his female works. In 1868, Utuma published his first academic essay in the “North China Branch of the Royal Asian Cultural Association”, titled “Chinese Notions about Pigeons and Doves” [8]. When talking about Xunhe the next time in the article, it is obviously influenced by him. But at the beginning of the study, Utuma did not rely too much on country surveys like Xunhe. He took a different approach and showed a unique civilization literacy that humanists had. His articles combine Chinese and English, quote the dictionary and analyze the meaning of characters. The facts in classics such as “Lya”, “Penyi”, “Xunzi”, and “Zuoyu” are readily readily, and their use is free and easy, the richness of literature and the strictness of reasoning are awesome.
The Chinese Myth of the Chinese (Chinese) published by Wotuma in a unified publication in 1873 Fox-Myths) has the same effect. What he cares about is not to code and learn Chinese fox jars from the perspective of oriental species, but to combine “Material Herbal Elements” and “Purple Category Letters” to understand the meaning of fox jars and minus. At the same time, based on his observation of the worship of the local “Fox Immortals” in Fuzhou, as well as the “Fox Immortals” stories in verbal novels such as “Chengpinghua” and “Chattinghua”China’s “concepts and speeches about fox slaughter”.

In 1870, Wotuma published his first book, Lao-Tzǔ, A Study in Chinese Philosophy, and made literary analysis and theoretical discussions on Lao Tzu’s life and “My Characters”. He knew that this was a small group of people, and he was “scared and profound”. This difficult-to-understa
