The New Barwis-Holliday Award for Far Eastern Studies

摘要

Edward Barwis-Holliday instituted an annual monetary award for Far Eastern Studies in the early 1980s. His purpose was to promote research into the anthropology, art, history, literature or religion of Japan, China, Korea or the eastern regions of the then Soviet Union. British Universities with Oriental Faculties were informed of the initiative and the first award, of £100, was made in 1981 for a paper entitled, On the transmission of the Shen Tzu and the Yang-sheng yao-chi.
