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.

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.

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.
