Professor Jao Tsung-i (1917–2018), renowned for his profound erudition in both the artistic and humanistic spheres East and West, had pioneered numerous research innovations. To commemorate the 110th anniversary of his birth, the “Lecture Series in Honour of Professor Jao Tsung-i” is co-organized by the Institute of Chinese Studies at The Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK), Jao Tsung-I Petite Ecole at the University of Hong Kong (HKU), Jao Tsung-I Academy of Sinology at Hong Kong Baptist University, Fung Ping Shan Library at HKU, and Hok Hoi Library.

The three upcoming lectures, themed “Reflection and Truth in Jao’s Scholarship” and hosted by the Institute of Chinese Studies, bring together leading scholars with expertise in Professor Jao’s life and academic achievements. Approaching Professor Jao’s pioneering work from the perspectives of religious history, archaeology, and art of painting and calligraphy, this lecture series revisits his academic contributions and his intellectual insights, serving not just as a tribute to a preeminent scholar, but also as a prime opportunity to discuss, reflect, and build on Professor Jao’s remarkable scholarly legacy. This endeavour hopes to inspire a new generation of researchers to broaden their academic horizon and continue to chart new ground in the studies of Chinese culture.
