"'A Prince of Martial Splendour' is a rich and remarkable work that will surely inspire future research on this little understood and critically understudied period in Chinese history. In sum, Dominik Declercq has done us a great service with his new book, and I will return to it again and again."
— Stephanie Balkwill, Journal of Chinese History

*New Publication*

On Western Influences and the Transformation of Chinese Academic Thought (章
清,会通中西:近代中国知识转型的基调及其变奏,北京:社会科学文献出版) by Zhang Qing, translated by Liang Yuan, Jia Wenfeng, and Hailong Li.

This book analyses the growth of disciplinary knowledge in modern China through Sino-foreign cultural exchange. It examines Western influences and the transformation of Chinese academic thought through "modern scientific disciplines" rather than mere westernization based on the "nationality" of knowledge. Historically, this transformation is not the unidirectional "eastward dissemination of Western learning," but the "introduction of West learning into China" with more active participation and choice by Chinese scholars. This understanding of the historical process focuses more on the innovation of the medium of knowledge, emphasizing the material and technological background of the dissemination of Western learning.

*New Publication*
Religion of the Han Empire

By examining the tomb images and artifacts from a religious perspective, combined with a cognitive approach that strives to uncover the essentials of the Han belief system, the author convincingly shows how Han belief represented the dimension of faith in the national power structure while reconstructing the history of religious Daoism at the time. This is the first historical study on the subject using this new methodology.
