This volume marks the 105th anniversary of the birth of Fei Xiaotong, the renowned Chinese sociologist and anthropologist. It is one of the outcomes of a four-day event, organized jointly by CCPN and other organizations at LSE, held in 2010, and includes not only pieces presented at that event but also a number of excellent articles that we have since received from scholars worldwide. Other will be published in collected volumes to promote China’s social sciences worldwide, to consider problems of globalization and to participate in the building of a global society. This first volume focuses on vocabulary, invention and the exploration of Chinese social sciences, in the hope of building a ‘palace’ of human knowledge out of ‘intellectual bricks’ created by words, phrases and ideas. It consists of five articles by authors from the UK, USA and Switzerland and four appendices, including the innovative ‘Chinese Social Science’ - a branch of ‘Chinese for Specific Purposes’ (CSP), written by UK-based Chinese teaching and translation experts.
