內田周平(1857-1944)堪稱近代日本崎門學派的代表學者之一。其實，內田不僅以崎門派朱子學者聞名於世，他是擅長德文而將德國文學、美學研究翻譯成漢文介紹給日本社會的主要橋樑人物，又因其深富文才，故受到明治文壇相當大的肯定。如此，內田周平在日本明治時代的文壇確實佔有一席之地，以及其在當時學界確實有其一定之影響力。然即便如此，依管見所及，歷來明治漢學相關之研究不僅沒有對之特別介紹，就連名字也從未提及。換言之，在現今學界，內田周平這位學者無非是一位幾乎被遺忘殆盡的漢學者，筆者認爲此乃是非常令人遺憾之事。有鑒於此，本文根據目前收集到的相關資料，擬在介紹內田之生平的同時，更試圖進一步探討、分析其學術思想。同時藉由此文，擬稍微補充、描摹出日本近代漢學研究史中，尤其是日本近代朱子學研究史中的些許空白之處。

This paper focuses on Syuhei Uchida's life and his thought. Syuhei Uchida (1857-1944) was one of the represent scholars of modern Japanese Kimon School. Actually he was not only a famous scholar of Kimon School but also a bridge between Japan and Germany literature and aesthetic. He translated Germany literature into Chinese to introduce these to Japan and was affirmed by literary circles in Meiji Period. Therefore, Syuhei Uchida had influence on literary and academic circles in Meiji Period. But today, regrettably he was almost forgotten by academic circles. We can complete the blank of the history of modern Japanese Sinology, especially the history of modern Japanese Syushigaku through the research on Syuhei Uchida.
