Hailed in Hong Kong and internationally as one of the most influential Sinologists of modern times, Professor Jao Tsung-i had a broad range of academic interests, ranging from Chinese philosophy, history, paleography, epigraphy, archaeology, Buddhism, Dunhuang studies, to literature, calligraphy, music, and art. With his encyclopedic erudition regarding traditional China, his cosmopolitan outlook, and his inexhaustible creativity, Professor Jao transformed each field he touched.

Collected Works of Jao Tsung-i: XuanTang Anthology is one of the key initiatives of the Jao Tsung-I Academy of Sinology at Hong Kong Baptist University to promote the international dissemination of Jao's scholarship. The editors have selected some of the most important articles from Jao's career spanning eight decades. The articles have then been translated into English by experts in the respective fields so as to represent Jao's insights as faithfully as possible.

This is an Open Access book series supported by the Jao Studies Foundation and Simon Suen Foundation.
