Dear colleagues and friends,
It is my great pleasure to welcome you to this 2021 EACS Leipzig Conference which, for reasons we
all know, had to be the 2020 EACS Leipzig Conference. I realize that we have tested your patience
and flexibility leading up to this conference, however, like all other organizers of workshops and
conferences, we too have had to constantly make decisions with the knowledge that was availa-
ble at a given time, in the hope that this summer it would be possible to organize a major ‘real life’
event. But as this proved impossible, we were forced to radically opt for a full digital conference. I
can only be enormously grateful to the Leipzig organizers for their endurance in this process. De-
spite the fact that we had to go fully digital, this conference promises to be a very rich one, with
over 600 presenting participants in over 150 panels. Despite that this is a fully digital event, the con-
ference organizers have also managed to arrange some online cultural activities.
After Glasgow 2018, we are now – virtually at least – in one of the oldest sinological institutes of
continental Europe. For the linguists among us, Leipzig will undoubtedly bring Georg von der Gabe-
lentz to mind, the author of the ‘Chinesische Grammatik. Mit Ausschluss des niederen Stiles und der
heutigen Umgangssprache,’ who was nominated as professor of Chinese Studies at the Leipzig Uni-
versity in 1878. This was the first chair of East Asian languages in Germany.
Sinology and Chinese studies have developed dramatically since the second half of the 19 th cen-
tury. The variety of topics addressed in the papers that will be presented on this conference testify
of this. When Eduard Erkes, one of the successors to Georg von der Gabelentz, took on him a sec-
ond unmodified print of the famous work of von der Gabelentz in 1953, he stated the following in
his foreword to this new edition: “Leipzig, the main place of activity of the eternal author, was al-
lowed to become the starting point for the new publication of his main works,” and, referring to
himself, “the current holder of his chair was given the honor to make this new edition reality.” In the
same way as Erkes was proud to uphold the memory of one of his predecessors and of the birth-
place of German academic sinology, I am, as President of the European Association for Chinese
Studies, thankful to the Leipzig organizers of this conference to inscribe themselves in the history of
EACS conferences with this major academic event, and I am proud that the academic field of Eu-
ropean sinology can, through this conference, once again renew itself for the current and future
members of this great Association.
I would like to conclude by thanking our generous sponsors: The Chiang Ching-Kuo Foundation for
International Scholarly Exchange, the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft, and the Universität Leip-
zig.
Bart Dessein
EACS President
3Dear participants of the 23rd biennial conference of the European Association for Chi-
nese Studies, ladies and gentlemen,
On behalf of Leipzig University, I welcome you to the opening of this conference. The University would
have loved to welcome you all in person to its campus in the heart of the historic city of Leipzig, either
at its original date in August 2020 or now, one year later. Alas, the Covid pandemic has made this im-
possible. On the upside, however, the pandemic has forced all of us into a steep learning curve in digi-
tal communications. Such a large conference, with over 600 participants and 150 panels in a com-
pletely digital setting, would have been unimaginable a little more than a year ago. Today it has be-
come a widely used form of scholarly communication. While we all hope to return to face-to-face set-
tings soon, virtual conferences are here to stay. May the format developed for the conference by the
Leipzig organizing team provide a fruitful setting for your four days of lectures, discussions, debates,
and exchange of ideas.
While many conferences take place at Leipzig University, we are particularly proud to host this
one, as Chinese Studies and Sinology have a long tradition in Leipzig. As Germany’s second-oldest uni-
versity, founded in 1409, Leipzig University was the first to establish a professorship in East Asian lan-
guages; its earliest incumbent in 1878 was Hans Georg Conon von der Gabelentz, author of the first
modern grammar of the Chinese language (the Chinesische Grammatik, published in 1881). The Uni-
versity’s Institute of East Asian Studies was founded in 1914 and can thus look back on a history of more
than one hundred years. It continues today to train students at the Bachelor’s, Master’s, and doctoral
levels.
This tradition of sinological scholarship accompanies Leipzig University’s long-standing relation-
ship with China, which has produced numerous alumni who have gone on to play major roles in their
homeland. Among the famous alumni I will just name two:
Cai Yuanpei 蔡元培 (1868–1940), who studied philosophy, psychology, and art history at Leipzig Uni-
versity from 1908 to 1911 before returning to China to become the newly-founded Republic’s
first Minister of Education; an educational reformer often called “China’s Humboldt,” Cai went
on to become president of Peking University and founding president of the Academia Sinica,
which carries on his vision to the present day in Taipei.
Lin Yutang 林語堂 (1895–1976), who studied here from 1921 to 1923, in which year he obtained a
doctorate with a dissertation on ancient Chinese phonology. Lin Yutang was one of the most
influential writers and public intellectuals of China in the twentieth century.
Leipzig University continues to maintain close relationships with universities in East Asia and seeks to de-
velop these ties even further. In addition to formal cooperation agreements with several Chinese-
speaking universities in East Asia, we maintain full-fledged university partnerships with Renmin University
of China (in Beijing) and with National Cheng-chi University (in Taipei). Together with Renmin University,
we founded in 2008 the Leipzig Confucius Institute as a cultural centre.
Leipzig University Library holds a large collection of pre-1912 Chinese print publications and
manuscripts, and cooperates with the National Central Library of Taiwan in continuously developing its
Chinese collections. For this purpose, a Taiwan Resource Center for Chinese Studies was established at
the University Library in 2013, which has served as basis for other scholarly collaborations as well, such
as a regularly held Taiwan Lecture series.
Thus, China scholars will surely feel at home at Leipzig University and we encourage you to fol-
low up your virtual visit with a real-life one in the near future. This conference will not be the last China-
related scholarly event at our school and I hope to be able to welcome many of you to our campus
soon! Thank you!
Prof. Dr. med. Beate A. Schücking
Rector of Leipzig University
4Dear friends and colleagues,
Our esteemed rector already pointed out the early establishment (in 1878) of a position
in East Asian Languages at Leipzig University. Honesty demands, however, to also point
out that this position ended again with Gabelentz’s move to Berlin University in 1889. Sta-
ble institutions for the study of China in Germany were first created elsewhere, such as
the Seminar for Oriental Languages in Berlin (1887) and the Chair in Chinese Studies at
Hamburg in 1910. However, Leipzig was not far behind and established its “East Asian
Seminar” (Ostasiatisches Seminar) in 1914, led by August Conrady, who used the schol-
arly Chinese name Kong Haogu 孔好古 (“Mr. Kong who loves antiquity”).
The East Asian Seminar is the direct predecessor of today’s Institute of East Asian
Studies (Ostasiatisches Institut), and has been in more or less continuous existence since
1914, with a hiatus in the 1960s and 1970s, when Socialist East Germany sought to con-
centrate the study of East Asia at the Humboldt University of Berlin. Today, the Institute
offers degree programmes in Chinese and Japanese Studies, and can draw on the ser-
vices of one of the better German collections of scholarly literature on and from East
Asia in the University’s beautiful Area Studies Library.
The Chinese (and Manchu) holdings of the Leipzig University Library contain more
than 2000 pre-1911 titles, which are included in the Chinese Rare Books Union Cata-
logue of the National Central Library in Taipei. Originally an exhibition of rare samples
from this historical collection of books and manuscripts was planned to run at the same
time as the EACS conference, but had to be cancelled owing to Covid restrictions
along with the 2020 conference. A somewhat scaled-down digital exhibition will go
online next month—please look out for it. A printed catalogue is available both in Eng-
lish and in German and available from Leipzig University Press. A link is also provided on
the conference website.
After this short advertising plug, let me extend the warmest welcome to all of you
on behalf of the Leipzig University Institute of East Asian Studies, as a member of the
EACS 2021 organizing committee, and as vice-president of the EACS.
Having to move from a real to a virtual format is both regrettable and exciting.
Regrettable because you are not able to visit beautiful Leipzig, sample its food and
drink, and take in its sights, but exciting because the virtual conference is still a fairly
novel event format whose features allow for new ways of scholarly communication and
for a larger number of especially junior participants, for whom otherwise the cost of trav-
elling to Leipzig might have presented an insurmountable obstacle. Let us experiment
with these features over the next four days. The Leipzig University Institute of East Asian
Studies is proud to host the 23rd EACS biennial conference in Leipzig and I wish you all an
inspiring and successful meeting!

university
Leipzig University, founded in 1409, is among the oldest universities in Europe. It is
a full university with 446 professorships, 5,300 employees and over 31,000 students.
As a member of the German U15 network, Leipzig University is one of the largest
research-intensive and leading medical universities in Germany.
The university consists of 14 faculties with over 130 institutes and centres as well as
17 central facilities. With 158 degree programmes, Leipzig University offers a
unique variety of subjects. Committed to diversity, the proportion of female stu-
dents is an above-average 60 percent, the proportion of students from abroad is
around 12 percent.
6the institute of east
asian studies at
leipzig university
Founded in 1914 as the “East Asian Seminar” by Au-
gust Conrady (1864–1925), Leipzig University’s Institute
of East Asian Studies can look back on more than
one hundred years of almost continuous existence,
with a brief hiatus from the late 1960s to the early
1980s, when East Germany concentrated its East
Asian Studies resources at the Humboldt-University in
Berlin. Under the leadership of Ralf Moritz (*1941), Chi-
nese Studies was reestablished at Leipzig University in
1984, and the Institute was expanded in the 1990s to
(once again) include Japanese Studies.
Leipzig is the original home of the journal Asia
Major, founded in 1923 by Conrady’s student Bruno
Schindler (1882–1964), which is now hosted in its third
series by Academia Sinica. Today, the Institute pub-
lishes two monograph series: Leipziger Ostasien-
Studien and Leipziger Sinologische Studien/萊比錫漢學 August Conrady (1864–1925)
研究叢書.
The Institute’s Chinese Studies section offers a three-year BA-degree pro-
gramme (in German), a two-year MA degree programme (in English), and a doc-
toral programme. It maintains academic cooperation and exchange with a num-
ber of institutions in the Chinese-speaking world including Renmin University of Chi-
na, National Cheng-chi University, Baptist University of Hong Kong, National Chung-
hsing University, and Wenzao Ursuline University of Languages.
The academic environment is enhanced by Leipzig’s membership in the
CrossAsia consortium, the events organized by and through the Leipzig Confucius
Institute, and the Taiwan Resource Center for Chinese Studies at Leipzig University
Library.
7the city
of leipzig
Leipzig University is located in Leipzig, the largest city in the German federal
state of Saxony, with a population of almost 600,000. Leipzig’s landmarks docu-
ment its long history as a trade-fair centre and a city of music due to its intrinsic
connection to the lives and work of Bach, Mendelssohn, Wagner, and other
composers and musicians.
