The HKBU Jao Tsung-I Academy of Sinology is dedicated to the communication between the academic communities between the East and the West and facilitation of innovative development of Sinology. The Academy is pleased to form a partnership with the Institute of Oriental Studies (IOS), Russian Academy of Sciences and devise a five-year plan together. This collaboration aims to forge a stronger bond between the two institutions, and by extension the two sinological communities, in terms of teaching and research while developing exchange and cooperation opportunities in these areas.
Beginning in October 2021, JAS and IOS, together with the Research Centre for History and Culture (Beijing Normal University - Beijing Normal University-Hong Kong Baptist University United International College), will co-organize an online monthly seminar series titled “New Perspectives on the Old World.” Speakers from the three institutes will take turn as keynote speakers and give online lectures. Through this initiative, we will leverage the competitive advantages of the three distinct sinological communities and engage in a series of high-end, cutting-edge discussions in key academic issues in Sinology.
No registration is required for this lecture series. All are welcome to attend each lecture with the following Zoom meeting details:

Summary(Recorded by Pang Kun): 《竹書紀年》的年代問題是夏含夷教授近年來十分關注的話題。王國維曾斥今本《竹書紀年》為明人偽作,此後似成定讞,但夏教授對此種說法進行了反駁。在前人將《竹書紀年》區分為今、古版本的基礎上,夏教授提出了「墓本」的概念,即西晉時汲冢出土的原始版本,他認為今本《竹書紀年》並不像王國維和當今大多數學者所認為的那樣,是後人按一定的體例抄撮古籍而成。通過對比多種史料,尤其是近年來發現的清華簡《繫年》,他指出,今本的年代記錄嚴謹合符,並且在一些與古本相左的記錄上,反而與《繫年》等早期文獻一致,這絕不是一個明代的偽造者可以做到的。而古本《竹書紀年》本身有著古代抄手只按大意引用的問題,因此今本可能比古本更加接近墓本的原貌。《史記》、墓本和今本分別使用了不同的紀年體系,但是所記錄的歷史事件卻有相同的絕對年代,這是今本非偽的又一證據。不過,儘管今本可能直接繼承自墓本,但今本不能等同於墓本,因為後者是以戰國古文字寫就的出土版本,而前者則是西晉學者依據當時的史學慣例進行整理後的版本,前者對後者進行了有限的體例改編。
