Summary/Abstract: In spite of the fact that the scientific study of the achievements of the historical development of China over more than 5000 years of the development of a culture entirely different from that of the West, began only 50 years ago in Slovakia, it has achieved various very original results, thanks to which some of its representatives are regarded as leading personalities in world Sinology, and it can be considered the most important Orientalist discipline in Slovakia. This study endeavours to map in detail everything noteworthy that arose in the course of half a century of Slovak Sinology, and the achievements of its representatives, not only at home, but also abroad and especially in China.
