The School of Literature, Nankai University, established in 2000, is a multidisciplinary comprehensive physical college reorganized from the original Department of Chinese Language and Literature and the Department of Oriental Art at Nankai University.[1]
History
The School of Literature was re-established in 2000 through the integration of the former Department of Chinese Language and Literature and the Department of Oriental Arts. The origins of Chinese-language studies at Nankai University date to the university’s founding period. After the university resumed operations in 1946, the Department of Chinese Language and Literature was formally established. Its academic development was shaped in part by scholarly traditions associated with the National Southwestern Associated University, including research undertaken by the Borderland Humanities Research Office.[2]
