《福建宗教碑铭汇编·漳州府分册》荣获全国古籍出版社年度百佳图书(2018)一等奖

本书收录并点校福建漳州地区自唐代至民国时期内容或背景与宗教有关的碑铭1771通,涉及儒释道、名宦乡贤祭祀、忠孝节义祭祀等,切入传统中国政教和民俗生活的繁多截面,展示了地方社会变迁的广阔图景。全书按县分九卷,卷内按时间编排,设置碑铭分布地点索引和中英文目录。其中八成以上碑铭都是编者30多年来带领几代师生上山下乡、走村串庙访得的珍贵史料,其中不少实物已遭受破坏而陆续消亡。

郑振满和丁荷生合作编纂的《福建宗教碑铭汇编》是一部在国际学术界享有盛誉的碑铭资料汇编。该大型文献资料汇编,是编纂者积数十年艰辛努力的成果。三十多年来,编纂者亲自踏勘闽南乡村,搜寻、抄录、挖掘、拼凑散落在寺庙村野角落的宗教碑铭,同时利用各种历史文献,细心校勘辨正,辑录了四五千通碑铭。这些碑铭内容反映了闽南城乡社会生活的多种样貌和乡村的复杂关系,在某种意义上,是一部闽南乡村社会的百科全书。尤其值得称道的是,编纂者在收集、整理这些碑铭的同时,还在乡村社会进行了大量的田野调查和文献研究,对这些碑铭产生和流存的社会文化背景有非常深刻的了解;在这个基础上编纂的汇编,渗透着编者独到的学术眼光和深邃的学术见解,具有相当高的学术价值,堪称碑铭文献编纂的典范。

Congratulations to A/P Ong Chang Woei on receiving the NUS Annual Teaching Excellence Award (2017)

Congratulations to Assoc Prof Ong Chang Woei for receiving the NUS Annual Teaching Excellence Award (ATEA) 2017. The ATEA recognises achievements in teaching, including instruction, educational design, assessment and feedback, as well as wider adoption of good practices in these areas through leadership and support of other colleagues. The purpose of the award is to promote university teaching. The award seeks to recognize NUS colleagues, whether individuals or teams, whose teaching has positively contributed to students’ learning and a broader culture that values teaching. A subsidiary but equally important goal therefore is to encourage wider sharing and adoption of good teaching practices beyond a single module, i.e. within the department, programme, faculty, or the university more broadly.

Over the course of four years, Professor Dean and Dr Hue visited more than 400 locations to record, photography, analyse and translate these inscriptions into English.
