The monographic study is a targeted and in-depth study of a specific theme. It is an important supplement to the macroscopic description of general history and the microscopic analysis of individual cases, and it serves as an entry point to push the research on the history of learning deeper and more comprehensive. The theory of Chinese character studies is of utmost importance in monographic research. It plays a role in laying the theoretical foundation and defining the disciplinary connotations for the construction of the history of Chinese Grammatology. When researching the theory of Chinese Grammatology, one should “pay more attention to the overall situation and the system, and at the same time, pay attention to the connections and communication with linguistics, as well as archaeology, history, philology, cultural studies, etc., further expand the breadth and depth of the research on character studies, and establish theoretical systems of Chinese character studies with different styles, so that Chinese character studies can have its own discourse system on a world-class platform.” Western research on the theory of Chinese Grammatology involves multiple topics such as “the nature of Chinese characters” “the origin of Chinese characters” “the evolution of Chinese characters” “the ‘liushu’ Chinese Characters” “the structure of Chinese characters” “the pronunciation of Chinese characters” “the classification of Chinese characters” “the dissemination of Chinese characters” “the relationship between characters and words” and “the relationship between Chinese characters and the Chinese language.” Conducting re-research on the relevant studies of Western scholars from the perspective of academic history helps to provide an “other” perspective and a global vision for the research on the theory of Chinese Grammatology in China. This article takes the materials related to the theme of “the dissemination of Chinese characters” in Western Chinese Grammatology as the research object. Through the combination of research overviews and case analyses, it aims to gain a more in-depth understanding and recognition of the focuses, research spots, and research trends that Western scholars pay attention to when studying the dissemination of Chinese characters.
