Journal of Cultural Interaction in East Asia Vol. 4 2013ography. Please do this only where helpful. It is not necessary to add East Asian
scripts for every Chinese or Japanese name or term. For Chinese, please use
pinyin. An exception is made for Sun Yat-sen (Sun Zhongshan), Chiang Kai-shek(Jiang Jieshi), Peking University, Tsinghua University, and Taiwan names familiarin the West (e.g., Ang Lee [Li An], Taipei). For ambiguous cases, give the pinyin,
followed by the common appellation: Song Jiashu (Charlie Soong), Shantou(Swatow), Guangzhou (Canton). It is usually not necessary to give Chinese characters for personal names, since these are easy to look up. For Japanese, please use
the Hepburn system as modified by Kenkyūsha (e.g., shinbun, not shimbun).
Indicate long vowels with a macron, and give names in their Japanese order, withfamily name first. For Korean, please use the the McCune-Reischauer system.
Again, the family name precedes the given name. Since the romanization indicatesthe Hangul, it is not necessary to indicate the Hangul of Korean terms. TheChinese characters for a Korean term may be added if helpful. Examples:
The Tale of Genji (Genji monogatari 源氏物語) [a translated work]
Zhangwu zhi (長物志 Treatise on superfluous things) [an untranslated work]collected statutes with model cases (huidian zeli 會典則例)
turtle ships (kŏbuksŏn 龜背船)
