第四届中古中国人文学术研讨会
Following the success of the previous three gatherings of Middle Period scholars in 2014 at Harvard, 2017 at Leiden, and 2023 at Yale, we are very pleased to announce that City University of Hong Kong will host the Fourth Middle Period China Humanities Conference.
The conference will take place in late May or early June of 2026, maintaining the regular three-year interval of this conference series. We welcome papers from all disciplines in the humanities (such as history, art history, literature, religious studies, and geography) that deal with China between 220 and 1600. We are especially interested in papers that address larger themes or use experimental approaches. To take full advantage of the gathering of scholars from different disciplines specializing in different dynastic periods, we plan to prioritize papers that discuss more than one dynastic period, study China in a broader geographical context, or use an interdisciplinary methodology.
We expect to launch a conference website and start the CFP in the summer of 2025. The deadline to submit a paper proposal will be around November 2025, and we will announce the results around January 2026. The deadline for full paper submissions will be around mid-April 2026.
The fourth conference will use the format of the third conference at Yale—each paper will be discussed twice, once in the context of a discipline-specific panel and once on an interdisciplinary panel. As a core tradition of this conference series, papers can be written and discussed in English and Chinese. Additionally, to continue a well-liked feature of the third conference, we plan to organize historical site visits and museum visits in Hong Kong, to give scholars more opportunities to interact outside the conference rooms.
Please stay tuned for our future announcements. We look forward to seeing many of you in Hong Kong in 2026!

繼2014年哈佛大學、2017年萊頓大學和2023年耶魯大學成功舉辦三屆中國中古學者的聚會之後，我們很高興地宣布香港城市大學將主辦第四屆中古中國人文學術研討會。
延續該系列會議每三年舉行一次的慣例，本次會議將於2026年5月下旬或6月初舉行。我們歡迎來自人文領域各個學科（例如歷史、藝術史、文學、宗教研究和地理學）的學者發表涉及公元220年至1600 年的中國研究。本次會議將促成不同學科背景與不同研究時段的學者齊聚一堂，為了充分利用這次難得的機會，我們計劃優先考慮跨時段或跨領域的中國研究論文。
我們預計在2025年夏季推出會議網站並啟動會議徵稿。籌委會將提交論文摘要的截止日期設定在2025年11月前後，並會在2026年1月前後公佈遴選結果。提交論文全文的截止日期大約是2026年4月。
第四屆中古中國人文會議將沿用第三屆會議的基本形式——對每篇論文都將進行兩次討論，一次在特定學科小組中，一次在跨學科小組中。本次會議也將延續該系列會議的傳統，用中英雙語進行，論文亦可選擇用中文或英文撰寫。此外，鑒於第三屆會議的諸項考察活動廣受好評，我們也計劃在香港組織各項歷史文化的考察活動，為學者們提供更多在會議室之外互動的機會。
請持續關注我們未來的公告。我們期待2026年在香港見到您！
