Partnership between the Chinese Studies Library and the Taiwan Resource Center for Chinese Studies (TRCCS) of the National Central Library

In May 2021, the Collège de France and the Taiwan Resource Center for Chinese Studies (TRCCS) of the National Central Library 臺灣漢學資源中心 in Taiwan signed a scientific partnership agreement under the Chinese Studies Library.

In 2022, a conference was organized by Delphine Spicq, head of the Chinese Studies Library at the Collège de France, and held online on the TRCCS website :

• Marta Hanson (John Hopkins University), "Grasping Heaven and Earth (Qian Kun zai wo 乾坤在握) The Healer's Hand in Classical Chinese Medicine", 13 October 2022, 10  h - 12  h

A new conference is scheduled for late January 2023 :

• Vincent Goossaert (EPHE) "Living with the gods in late imperial China"

In June 2022, the library received a donation of 250 titles, including new works on the history, art and religions of imperial China and two superb facsimiles of ancient documents: a collection of poems by the Sushi scholar 蘇軾 (1037-1101) in a Song dynasty edition (960-1279) and the Chinese version of the Diamond Sutra dating from 1341.

All these works are catalogued, and a specific stamp indicating the origin of the donation is affixed on the title page of each of these documents, which will be available to readers as soon as the Institut des civilisations reopens in the^1st quarter of 2023.
