　Humanities disciplines—Chinese, foreign languages, philosophy, music, drama, literature, arts, and linguistics—each has its own specialty and mastery but at the same time shares commonalities. Aside from the spirit of humanities, cross-cultural context is one of the quintessential characteristics. For instance, even though foreign literature’s primary sources originate overseas, local languages and thought paradigms are employed to absorb and transform the thoughts. The knowledge of Chinese studies is derived from the ancient time, but Western thought paradigm inscribed in modern languages and concepts is adopted to rethink the knowledge. The same happens in disciplines of philosophy, music, and drama. As such, the overseas paradigm and the knowledge of the ancient time both collide “here and now.” National Sun-Yat sen University is located in Cizi Bay where the land and the ocean meet, which implies that it is at once unstable but dynamic and stimulating. One of the tasks of the humanities is to celebrate the local culture in the contemporary society and engage with foreign cultures and cultural heritages through cross-cultural references, in hope of enriching our own culture. Thus, College of Liberal Arts and Center of Humanities of National Sun-Yat sen University invite international and nation-wide scholars to join 2017 international conference on “Cross-Cultural Studies and the Humanities.” The topics include, but not limited to: Working languages of the conference: Chinese and English.
