Very sad news about the passing of Qiu Xigui, one of the most creative, meticulous and kind specialists in Chinese paleography, ancient history, pre-Qin philology and archaeology, a true giant of the Early China field. 大雅云亡, 絕學千秋. R.i.p! mp.weixin.qq.com/s/pc7bE3uwC_fg…

A great exhibition on Gandharan Buddhist art at the Art and Archeology Museum, Zhejiang University. I was especially happy to see one of the notebooks with manuscript fragments from the Otani expedition. Did not realize how big these notebooks were.

Nice Qiu Xigui obituary by Sarah Allen in the Guardian yesterday: tinyurl.com/3j6s7p9h. His own recollections of his life in paleography can be found here: thepaper.cn/newsDetail_for…

Just received a copy of my colleague Prof. Zhang Yongquan’s new work on piecing together manuscript fragments from Dunhuang. An amazing accomplishment, can’t wait to work myself through the two volumes.

Nearly one year on, all of the #ASilkRoadsOasis exhibition materials are now available in one place on the IDP website.​ The exhibition's legacy lives on as you can explore the virtual exhibition, blogs, and our symposium recordings here: bit.ly/46mBXE5
