《华裔学志》的创办及其对中西文化交流的影响

The origination of Monumenta Serica and Fu Jen University

《华裔学志》是20世纪30年代中期,由西欧天主教人士在中国创办的面向西方的汉学杂志,至今这本杂志仍然位居当代国际汉学最重要的学术杂志之列。这份杂志发展的最初时期正值中西文化交流的重要阶段,在13年的前期历史中,尤其得益于辅仁大学一些著名学者如陈垣、沈兼士、张星、英千里等人的鼎力支持。《华裔学志》在其前期历史中为中西学术文化交流所做的一切,不仅具有时代意义,也有一定的现实意义。《华裔学志》试图继续利玛窦的传教策略,以其关注中国古老文化的"纯学术性"来获得中国知识分子的认同和支持,取得了令人瞩目的成就。

The origination of Monumenta Serica was closely related to the establishment and development of Fu Jen University in China's traditional political and cultural center Peking, where lived a constellation of preeminent Chinese and foreign scholars. The originators of Fu Jen University, namely the American Cassinese Congregation of the Benedictine Order and the Society of the Divine Word adapted to the tide of sinolization of the 20s of the 20th century and achieved much in academic research and publishing by steadfastly supporting the University's cultural development purport which was well embodied in the combination of the indraught of modern western academic cultures and the exploration of traditional Chinese culture. Monumenta Serica was more than an achievement in publishing but also promoted Fu Jen's studies of ancient Chinese culture and enhanced its influence in the international academia.
