Literature, history, philosophy, foreign languages, libraries and other disciplines have infiltrated each other academically for a long time, forming an academic exchange and cooperation relationship centered on the study of China's traditional culture, and forming certain advantages in the study of Chu culture and the study of Ming and Qing cultural history. In view of this situation, institute of chinese studies of Wuhan University was established in April, 1996. This is the predecessor of this reporting institution-China Traditional Culture Research Center of Wuhan University.

This center is an interdisciplinary research institution of China culture, involving history, philosophy, literature and other disciplines. It consists of China Social Change and Cultural Transformation Research Office, China Ideological and Cultural Research Office, Chu Culture and Chu Unearthed Documents Research Office, etc., and has a Collection of Characters. The center has full-time scientific research and teaching staff 15, including 9 professors, 5 associate professors and lecturers 1 person. There are 5 part-time staff in the school, including 3 professors and 2 associate professors. Among the full-time and part-time staff in the school, * * * has 16 people who have obtained doctoral degrees from Britain, Germany, Fudan University in China, Huazhong Normal University and Wuhan University respectively. The age structure of scientific research team is reasonable, mainly young and middle-aged, full of vigor and professionalism, with more people with high professional titles and high academic qualifications and strong scientific research ability. This team is smart and capable, good at going deep into the academic frontier and engaging in comprehensive innovation research. In terms of staffing, we should emphasize the advantages and complementarities of the comprehensive, interdisciplinary and marginal disciplines of China cultural studies. Our center has hired famous experts at home and abroad, such as Professor Chen Lai from Peking University, Professor Wang Zhenzhong from Fudan University, Professor Li Zonggui from Sun Yat-sen University, Researcher Peng Hao from Jingzhou Museum, and Professor Kudo Moto from Waseda University, as part-time professors. Professor Fu Xiao is a consultant of our center. We also hired more than a dozen well-known Chinese and foreign scholars as consultants. After four years of hard work, the hardware facilities of this center have reached a considerable scale. In this reorganization of the center, the school resolutely vacated all the fifth and seventh floors on the east side of the Humanities Museum (Yifu Building), and most of the ninth floor was vacated for our center to be used as an office and reference room, covering an area of more than 500 square meters. At present, the center has a computer desk and a researcher (both used at home), which shows the trend of office automation. The office has 32 computers, 2 fax machines, 4 printers, 3 scanners, 2 photocopiers, 2 servers, network switches 1 set, UPS 1 set, and all full-time and part-time employees are online, with per capita terminals1set. In addition to making full use of the books and materials in the school library and literature, history and philosophy reference rooms, the center has also purchased more than 6 100 kinds of professional books and materials, including 7/kloc-0 kinds of Chinese newspapers and 34 kinds of foreign newspapers and periodicals, which can basically meet the needs. The center has a unique advantage in using books and materials. The Humanities Museum (Yifu Building) has four quite rich, practical and centralized library databases, namely: (1) the Literature Information Center of Wuhan University of the Ministry of Education, with nearly 38,000 original books in western languages, more than 500 newspapers and periodicals, more than 4,000 books in liberal arts and more than 40 newspapers and periodicals in Hong Kong and Taiwan; (2) Reference Room of Philosophy Department, including 54,550 Chinese books and 7 140 foreign books; 677 Chinese periodicals; 224 foreign periodicals; (3) History Department Reference Room, with 80,000 Chinese and foreign books and 270 Chinese and foreign Hong Kong and Taiwan periodicals; (4) Reference room of Chinese Department, with 60,000 books in Chinese and foreign languages, bound periodicals 1000, and books from Hong Kong and Taiwan 1000. In addition, not far from the Museum of Humanities, there is a special collection department of the school library, which contains thread-bound books. All these make it very convenient for full-time and part-time researchers in our center to borrow books and materials. If the center can be approved as a national key scientific research base, it will make the research facilities of our center reach a higher level and reach the world-class level.
