簡介
中華研究中心的目標是在弘立書院推廣、倡導中國傳統文化，拓展學生全球視野，承載學校「八德一智」的核心價值觀，成為學生與弘立社群整體成員進行中國文化學習和文化探究的有力載體。中華研究中心服務於學校的總體辦學理念和教學規劃，是對中、小學中文教學的延伸和補充，為學生提供一個中華人文和跨學科學習的場所，讓學校與弘立社群成員，加強內外學術文化交流與社交聯繫。
Overview
The Chinese Research Center (CRC) aims to promote traditional Chinese culture at the Academy, broaden students’ global horizon, uphold the school’s core values of The Eight Virtues + One, and act as a powerful bridge for students and all members of the ISF community to study and explore Chinese culture. In its operation, CRC is guided by the school’s overall philosophy, as well as its instructional planning and design. It is an extension of and supplement to Chinese teaching in the Primary and Secondary Schools. It is not only a place for students to study Chinese humanities and experience interdisciplinary learning, but also a platform for the Academy and ISF community members to engage in meaningful academic and cultural exchange, as well as strengthening social contacts both internally and externally.
總監的話
通過文化連接彼此
多年來負責書院中文經典項目，今年非常榮幸能同時肩負起中華研究中心的工作。這是一個自然的延伸：書院的中文經典課程多年耕耘，已培養出一群熱愛中華文化、具備一定古典素養的學生；中華研究中心面向更大的社群，將透過舉辦文化講座及活動，更緊密地聯繫起學生、教師和家長。
自古以來，中華文化就是凝聚這片土地上的人心的核心力量。「中國」或「中華」，其文化內涵遠超政治概念。無論身處何方，人們總能因共同的文化認同而走到一起。文化傳承如同基因，在人生的某個階段，或早或晚，終將顯現。有人認為文化和經典是高不可攀的陽春白雪，但其實，文化只是一群人在時間長河中沉澱的生活方式和審美品格，它早已融入我們的生命體驗。在弘立這個中西文化交融的社群，中華文化也能與西方及其他文化相互交流、碰撞，從而更好地認識自我，取長補短。
Message from the Director of Chinese Research Center
Connecting Through Culture
For years, I have been responsible for the Shuyuan Chinese Classics program, and this year, I am honored to also shoulder the responsibilities of the Chinese Research Centre (CRC). This is a natural extension. The Shuyuan Chinese Classics courses have, through years of dedicated work, cultivated a group of students who love Chinese culture and possess a certain level of classical literacy. The Chinese Research Centre, facing a broader community, will connect students, teachers, and parents more closely through cultural lectures and activities.
Since ancient times, Chinese culture has been a core force uniting hearts and minds. "China" or "Chinese," as concepts, are far richer in cultural connotations than political ones. Regardless of where they are, people are brought together by shared cultural identity. Cultural heritage is like a gene; sooner or later, it will manifest itself at some stage in life. Some believe that culture and classics are lofty and inaccessible, but in reality, culture is simply the lifestyle and aesthetic values accumulated by a group of people over time, and it is already deeply integrated into our life experiences. Within the ISF community, a place where Chinese and Western cultures blend, Chinese culture can also interact and engage with Western and other cultures, allowing us to better understand ourselves and learn from each other's strengths.
