For example, the term 'shakai' (society, '社会' in kanji) was the one which had originally appeared in "Kinshiroku" (a book of Chinese thought) (edited by CHU Hsi and RYO Soken), a book of Southern Sung Dynasty, so that it may be said that it was reimported to the continent with a new meaning.
「社会」などは元々南宋の書『近思録』（朱子・呂祖謙共同編集）に登場する語彙であるから、装いも新たに大陸に逆輸入されたといってよい。
