Features: Pan Guangdan (1899-1967) was a renowned modern scholar in China, who taught at institutions such as Tsinghua University, Southwest Associated University, and the Central Institute for Nationalities during his lifetime. He was erudite, knowledgeable, and bridged Eastern and Western scholarship, making outstanding contributions in fields such as sociology, eugenics, sex psychology, pedagogy, and ethnic history. The Collected Works of Pan Guangdan, published by Peking University Press, includes the main writings of Pan Guangdan from various periods of his life, such as books, essays, diaries, travelogues, and translations, covering disciplines like sociology, eugenics, genealogy, sex psychology, pedagogy, and ethnology. The compilation and publication of Pan Guangdan's works is a task of significant cultural heritage value. Due to the turmoil of the War of Resistance and the Cultural Revolution, many of Pan Guangdan's writings were lost, making their reassembly extremely challenging. After more than two decades of collection and organization by Pan Guangdan's children, the Collected Works of Pan Guangdan has finally been made available to the public. Its publication holds positive significance for the academic community to understand and study the development of disciplines such as sociology in China, to inherit and promote the fine academic traditions of predecessors, and to draw upon important scholarly achievements of the past. The publication of this collection not only facilitates domestic and international readers in understanding and researching Pan Guangdan's academic thoughts and achievements but also helps scholars study the historical context of the development of Chinese sociology, build upon previous research, and make new contributions. For academic research purposes, the Collected Works preserves the original content and text of the works without alteration.
