Author: Huang Liuzhu, Wei Quanrui

Publishing Date: 2003-11-01
Features: As one of the academic journals published as books, despite various complex reasons, it cannot be indexed or cited like formally registered journals. However, we are pleased to see that it has gained considerable popularity and praise among academic peers. Some of its content has even been excerpted by authoritative abstract journals, generating positive social impact. These achievements are deeply gratifying to us as editors. A successful and influential academic journal primarily depends on its academic quality and distinctive characteristics. Its reputation should naturally emerge through practical publishing efforts. Artificially created or commercially hyped fame may rise to prominence for a time, but ultimately, it is like a rabbit's tail—short-lived. We publish the annual Journal of Zhou, Qin, Han, and Tang Culture neither for fame nor profit, but simply to contribute a small part to advancing academic development. Our goal is to use this journal as a focal point, gradually forming an academic community or school composed of sincere scholars who are unswayed by fame and dedicated to learning. Through their continuous academic activities, we aim to make Xi'an—the ancient capital of Zhou, Qin, Han, and Tang dynasties—not only a worthy academic research center in Western China but also a global academic hub for the study of these civilizations.
