Welcome to the Forum on Chinese Poetic Culture (FCPC) at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign!

The Forum’s primary mission is to establish an open platform for promoting the learning and teaching of Chinese poetry and poetic culture.  The Forum strives to provide a broad range of services for students, scholars, and all Chinese poetry lovers.  In particular, it shall assist with information sharing, publicity, publication, collaboration as a translator/re-writer, and price discounts.

A co-sponsor of Journal of Chinese Literature and Culture (with Peking Univ. in collaboration with Duke Univ. Press), the Forum gladly extends the above-mentioned services to all other sub-fields of Chinese literature and culture.

I would be most grateful if you could take a close look at these proposed services and offer your valuable suggestions for improvement. I sincerely hope that you will endorse the mission of FCPC and decide to join us in our various endeavors.
