Dr Shang Awarded China’s National Press and Publication Administration Funding for Publishing Ancient Japanese Annotations on Major Song Dynasty Poets (LCS)
Dr Haifeng Aaron Shang’s project, “Two Kinds of Shōmono-style Commentary of the Japanese Late Middle Ages on Poems of Su Shi and Huang Tingjian – Tenka haku & Chochuko,” received funding on August 26, 2025, from the National Press and Publication Administration of China.
The project was included in the approved list for “The 2025 National Funding Programme for the Compilation and Publication of Ancient Chinese Texts.”
The resulting scholarly book will be published by Shanghai Ancient Books Publishing House, an internationally renowned academic publisher based in Shanghai.
The publisher will receive a subsidy of RMB 400,000 from the National Press and Publication Administration.
This new project closely aligns with two other RGC-funded research initiatives led by Dr Shang:
GRF, 2021/22: A Japanese Zen Poet-monk’s Interpretation and Reimagining of Su Shi – A Study on Banri Shūkyū’s Shōmono-style Commentary Tenka haku [The Brightest of the World]; and
ECS, 2018/19: The Study on The Incense Burnt behind Curtains – Japanese Zen Master Banri Shūkyū’s Annotation of the Essential Poems of Huang Tingjian.
