This talk will look at how the Protestant and Catholic Churches positioned themselves with regard to history in the period of confessionalization. From the Reformation, church history presented a challenge to each confession in its own right. Protestants were compelled to invent particularly creative answers because, as Euan Cameron has noted, “the core message of the Reformation called for a shift in perceptions of the Christian past.” This is because Protestants, who aimed to revert to the pristine early state of the Church, were confronted with the key issue of explaining why error had come into the Church after apostolic times. The prevailing models for church history did not suit their view of the degeneration of the medieval Church, so that Protestant historians in the Reformation had to re-invent the discipline. Catholics, on the other hand, aimed to show that church institutions and doctrine from apostolic times had always been the same.
This talk builds on the recent studies such as “Sacred History: Uses of the Christian Past in the Renaissance World” (edited by Katherine Van Liere, Simon Ditchfield and Howard Louthan, Oxford 2012). It aims to add a further dimension to these by concentrating on the polemical interactions between Catholics and Protestants. It will also explore to which degree history and theology were fused together in the process and to which degree they could be separated.

The rapid spread of typography from the 1450s in Europe created new stakes, motives, and anxieties around making a book. I will examine how authors and printers of early printed books used paratexts, i.e. the front matter and back matter surrounding the text itself, to manage these concerns, notably by seeking to attract buyers, forestall criticism, and boost their reputation. I will offer examples from publications by Erasmus, Copernicus, and Conrad Gessner in conjunction with books in the collections at the CUHK to examine what the books tell us explicitly and what they seek to hide about authorship and book production in their time.

A selection of over 40 Chinese landscape paintings, ranging from the Yuan dynasty to the contemporary period, are on display in this exhibition. The phrase “Majestic Vistas” in the exhibition title conjures up the gigantic size or imposing composition of large-scale landscape paintings. Visitors can embrace the beauty of nature and arts when viewing the majestic vistas offered by the assorted landscape paintings.
Not only does the exhibition showcase large-scale works, it also provides various perspectives on understanding Chinese landscape paintings:
How painters learned the principles of landscape painting through copying ancient masters’ works and emulated their use of the brush; how painters established a delicate elusive relationship with ancient masters by assimilating and reinterpreting the principles and techniques of their predecessors and expressing them in their own way; how painters conveyed the inner landscape of their mind and expressed their values and personal feelings by means of the depiction of a visionary world; how painters remembered and learned from the natural beauty of the scenery they travelled through, expressed in their own artistic style; and how contemporary painters explore the possibilities of creating landscape paintings through new angles, with new techniques and materials.
This is the Art Museum’s first exhibition on Chinese landscapes in almost 20 years, and some of the paintings are revealed to the public for the first time. Apart from masterpieces by famous painters, this exhibition also showcases works by anonymous artists or pieces attributed to some of the biggest names in art history. Through this research exhibition, each of the collections can be re-examined for its own artistic and historical value.
In addition, by providing a source of materials and inspiration for Hong Kong artists, this exhibition ties in with the group show “Seon1: Cultural Symbols of Chinese Landscape Painting”* from the “Archaic Curator Series,” co-organised by the Art Museum, and the Oil Street Art Space (Oi!), displaying the natural charm that lingers forever in Chinese landscape paintings.
Open to public. Free Admission.

太子城遺址位於河北省張家口市崇禮區北京2022年冬奧會張家賽區核心位置，為做好遺址文物保護工作，2017-2020年，河北省文物考古研究院等單位對太子城遺址進行了連續四年的考古發掘，確認其為金代中後期皇家行宮，推測為金章宗夏捺鉢的泰和宮。它是第一座經考古發掘的金代行宮遺址，是僅次於金代都城的重要城址，是近年來發掘面積最大的金代高等級城址。
太子城遺址填補了金代皇家建築的空白，是金代建築考古的重大發現。遺物中「修內司」、「內」、「宮」款建築構件的出土，實證了皇家屬性；「尚食局」款定瓷、類汝窯青瓷、雁北地區化妝白瓷的用器組合，將極大推進金代供御體系、宮廷用瓷制度研究的深入。北京與張家口市跨越820年的再牽手，延續了金中都與泰和宮的密切關係，彰顯了中華優秀傳統文化的博大精深和一脈相承。

Propaganda Fide was established on January 6, 1622 by Pope Gregory XV, and the year 2022 is the commemoration of its 400th anniversary. Its founding opened the ways for the Holy See to govern the dioceses in the Far East directly rather than through states, such as Spain and Portugal. Its significance extends over the fields of evangelization, communication, science, and cultural exchange. Propaganda Fide was renamed the Congregation for the Evangelization of Peoples in 1967. In 2022, Pope Francis introduces the reform of the Roman Curia which has at its heart the conversion of the Church to being missionary. The newly restructured Dicastery for Evangelization will embrace the mission ad gentes (to nations) as well as the new evangelization of peoples who have already encountered the Gospel. To mark this significant anniversary, the Centre for Catholic Studies, CUHK, as a platform of academic exchanges among scholars of Catholic Studies, is co-organizing an international symposium with the Macau Ricci Institute to study the effects of this pivotal establishment in Church and world history, as well as lessons to sustain the Church’s missionary journey.

The Faculty of Arts is pleased to announce the results of the Research Grants Council’s General Research Fund (GRF) and Early Career Scheme (ECS) for 2022-23.
The GRF aims to supplement the eight UGC-funded universities’ own research support to researchers who have achieved or have the potential to achieve research excellence, while the ECS is intended to nurture junior academics and to prepare them for a career in education and research.
This year, a total of HK$10 million funding is awarded to 21 projects under the Faculty of Arts. Compared to last year, while the application success rate of GRF projects is more or less the same, the Faculty is delighted to note that there is an over 40% increase in the total funding amount for the GRF projects. It is believed such an increase fosters dissemination and quality of research and brings impact to academia and beyond. Professor Gladys Tang, Associate Dean of Arts (Research), congratulates the grant recipients of GRF & ECS of 2022-2023 and wishes them every success in their endeavours to push the frontiers of arts and humanities research for the benefit of society.
Among the awarded projects in the Faculty this year, Professor Andrew Kipnis’s project “Designs for the Dead in Hong Kong”, from the Department of Anthropology, is granted more than $1 million. This project investigates the reasons behind the public's preference for columbarium niches and explores alternative designs for memorializing the deceased. “My project involves comparing approaches to disposing of the final remains of the deceased in different large East Asian cities. The biggest challenge was how to frame my collaboration with two overseas research partners. I made the focus of the grant the HK research, but explained how the exchanges would enrich the HK research.” Professor Kipnis shared.
The Faculty pledges to facilitate the development of individual and collaborative research projects as well as programmes in order to extend their broad impact beyond academia.
An online international workshop on Naxi Manuscript Studies, co-organized by the Department of Translation of The Chinese University of Hong Kong and the Journal of Chinese Writing Systems Editorial Office of East China Normal University, will be held next Friday.
