Abstract

This paper provides a comprehensive review of the research and advancements in Jurchen language and literature since the 20th century. Recent discoveries of multiple Jurchen inscriptions and documents, including the inscription found in Shenmu County and the Arkhara River basin, have presented new sources for the study of Jurchen language and script. Progress in the study of Jurchen language and script has been relatively slow, with major accomplishments made in fields such as the Jurchen phonetic system, interpretation of individual words, and comparative analysis between Jurchen and Manchu languages. In addition, the digitalization of Jurchen script and documents has seen some advancement, including the development of Unicode encoding for Jurchen script and the creation of standard Jurchen characters.
