Journal overview

Monumenta Serica: Journal of Oriental Studies is mainly dedicated to Chinese culture, but its Chinese title, Huayi xuezhi ( Scholarly Journal on China and Neighbouring Countries), points to the fact that contributions concerning subjects such as Japanese, Mongol, Manchu, Tibetan, or Korean studies may also be published, if closely related to China.

The journal promotes intercultural communication in cooperation and dialogue with Chinese and Western scholars. The contributions published in the journal cover all relevant fields of Sinology, including: Chinese history, language, literature, philosophy, Chinese religions and their history, mission history, art, etc. They may be published either in English, German, French, and exceptionally in Chinese.

The journal is published for the Monumenta Serica Institute, an institute which testifies to the vivid interest of the Society of the Divine Word (S.V.D.) in the Chinese people, their culture, languages, and religions.
