Cutting-edge academic research in politics, economics, philosophy, literature, historiography, poetry, religion, and art;
-
AI-driven interdisciplinary synthesis of Chan (Zen) Buddhism, Taoist thought, and traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) theories through experimental frameworks;
-
Innovative pathways for global Chinese script, calligraphy culture, and AI-era interdisciplinary experimentation with text-image integration.
Extended Domains and AI Collaboration
-
AI-enabled interdisciplinary practices rooted in scientific value, fostering human-machine collaboration to enhance mutual learning and scientific dialogues within knowledge systems;
-
Deepening multidimensional cognition of China studies and AI through inclusive intellectual paradigms, providing conceptual data and momentum for AI-driven thinking;
-
Establishing the "China Studies International Forum" as a flagship initiative to serve 21st-century AI advancements and global education.

CEO MESSAGE
會 長 致 詞
Greetings from Charlotte, North Carolina, United States of America.
As the founder and CEO of the World Association for Chinese Studies (WACS), I invite you to join our exceptional academic organization, and to interact with the many outstanding students, scholars, and friends who make our organization special. WACS is a professional, comprehensive Chinese Studies Association providing more than thirty-five academic areas of research that attracts students, professors, and scholars from around the world.
Our goal is not only to introduce China's past, present, and future, but also to explore the application of "Chinese Studies" in global education, using WACS to benefit the world and the people in it. We will use an interdisciplinary approach to combine the Chinese academic disciplines with other disciplines by collaborating with universities around the world. This will serve the local community, to meet global educational demands, and strive to bring the "Chinese Studies" into cultivation during the 21st century. We will focus on the traditional humanity studies in a new period of "content or philosophy"(“內容或哲學”) by implementing this strategy and employing "value innovation" or "value change." We will use keen and accurate critical thinking to discover the traditional culture which is used today by considering 5000 years of Eastern philosophy. This is expected to bring great value to all mankind. This "value change" is one of the important missions of WACS and it is my goal as president to enact these changes. This "value change" provides us with a new way to understand the humanities in the 21st century, and the direction of "value innovation," which would employ China’s foreign, social, political and ideological talent. Close attention will be paid to the research of academic theory. This will serve as the application of education to provide effective resources and innovation opportunities, with great attention to the phenomenon of mass community education, using John Dewey’s practical educational philosophy to reach an educational apex.
We will adhere to interdisciplinary research ideas and to 5000 years of Chinese history. This forms the basis of an in-depth study of the 21st century, the practicality of globalization, and lastly to promote the localization of the strategy of efficient Chinese studies. For example: the implementation of three languages; Chinese, English, and Spanish. In addition, Chinese and Western Studies, Art History Research, Literary Poetry, the new art of Interdisciplinary Studies, Calligraphy, STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering & Math), Chinese Language and Literature, Chinese Painting and Calligraphy, and Plasticity Research will also be promoted. These studies will be instituted by the end of 2017. We currently see increases in Chinese interests of religion and modern dance research, in addition to Chinese religious music [Chinese Buddha music, Tibetan music, Taoist music, and Ethnic music, etc] research. We will also focus on the field of Chinese studies and cognitive science research, as well as the use of literary theory, aesthetics, image theory and cultural anthropology to help increase our understanding of Chinese studies. The goal is that by understanding these myriads of topics in a new light we can truly understand "Value Innovation in Chinese Studies."
I am proud to have the best scholars in the world. They are the cornerstone of scholarly communication and innovation, the wealth we learn, and their dedication to global education.
We will also establish long-term strategic partners, resource sharing, and peer-to-peer academic research. This has world-wide implications for educational institutions, peers, museums, and multinational companies.
Thank you for visiting our website.
Join us in service.
John Morgan, CEO
大家好！請接受來自美國北卡羅來納州夏洛特市的真誠問候！我是约翰 • 摩根，世界中國學研究會會長。本研究會為全球最具學術價值，由世界頂尖研究中國學的專家所組成的世界中國學研究會。
世界中國學研究會，一個引領世界中國學研究與發展的非營利民間機構，作為會長，我深感責任重大！我們的目標不僅僅是通過中國學研究會瞭解中國的過去、今天和未來，而且更重要的是通過中國學研究會這一平臺來探索和推進“中國學”在全球教育中的應用，以造福世界人文學科。我們將以跨學科的理念，與人工智能肩並肩，將文化本體，藝術本體中的文本與圖像與各學科統整，特別與與美國21世紀教育戰略之一中的科學、技術、藝術、工程等結合起來，形成整體的研究體系並世界分享和推廣。
我們試圖探索，如何以波普思想為指導為大眾實用教育服務，將教育從傳統、高雅的學術象牙之塔中解放出來，注重本土社區和國際化的教育需求，將“中國學”引入21世紀國際競爭型人才戰略培養方案。
我們還將關注，如何在新的時期將傳統人文學科以一種新的“內容或哲學”進行解析 — 我稱之為“價值創新value innovation”或者“價值變革 value change”，從而為學術的變革提供支撐。
-
這樣的“價值變革value innovation”是我們中國學研究會的重要使命之一，也是我作為會長的发展目標。
-
這樣的“價值變革value innovation”將為我們在21世紀的今天，提供理解人文學科的一個全新的途徑。
-
這個“價值變革value innovation”的方向將使“中國學研究”始終與古今中外的社會、政治、意識形態與歷史緊密結合。
-
在註重學術理論研究的同時，我們也將保持對應用的關懷，力求為應用教育提供有效的資源和創新機遇。
-
我們將更多地關注大眾社區教育，將杜威的實用教育理念引入學術的“大雅之堂”。
-
我們要以敏銳、準確的批評性思維去發現傳統文化中的精華，並使之為今天所用。我們相信，5000年的東方哲學將為全人類帶來更大的價值。
-
我們還將注意力集中在中國學與認知科學領域的研究，運用文學理論、美學、影像理論和文化人類學等方法，研究中國學在今天這樣的大時代、高速變革中的現代性, 以創新性思維實施“中國學價值革新Value Innovation in Chinese Studies”的理念。
-
我們還將堅持跨學科研究思想，以5000年華夏文明為基礎，深入研究21世紀全球化教育的實用性，以高效的本土化戰略推廣中國學的研究成果，例如：
-
以三種語言(中、英和西班牙文)出版發行與“中國學”相關的系列學術期刊；
-
進行人文學科領域的教材與書籍翻譯與出版；
-
举辦年度國際學術論壇；
-
進行中西方美學研究、藝術史學研究、文學詩歌與新藝術跨學科研究；
-
進行漢字書法與STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) 研究；
-
建立漢字書法與腦神經可塑性「1」(Neuroplasticity) 研究, 探索中國書法對人類大腦癡呆和兒童多動症(ADHD)的科學研究；
-
舉辦《觀象 • 無形》全球書法巡迴演出；進行中國宗教與現代舞蹈研究、中國宗教音樂研究， 等等。
-
开发系列学术期刊。2017年底，由中國書法家趙宏教授擔任主編，第一部有關漢字研究與應用的英漢雙語學術期刊《漢字視界》將於全球發行。
-
我們將逐步建立多學科的研究中心，通過這些研究中心與世界各大學科研機構合作，激發和推動多學科發展，變革世界人文發展理念與模式，創新中國學研究。
-
“價值變革”的另一個思考即是21世紀數據信息與學術的整合的最優先戰略，從而走在世界中國學研究的前沿。
我為我們擁有全球最優秀的學者而驕傲，他們是學術傳播和創新的基石，是我們學會的財富，感謝他們對全球教育的奉獻精神。
我們還將與全世界的教育機構、漢學教育與研究機構、博物館和跨國公司的教育部門建立長期的戰略合作夥伴關係，資源共用、攜手同行，引領世界中國學研究。
感謝大家瀏覽我們的網站。
誠摯的，
约翰 • 摩根，首席執行官
