Our Aim
The Academy of Chinese Studies (ACS) is dedicated to the promotion of Chinese culture. Through sharing knowledge on China’s history and culture with the people of Hong Kong, particularly youngsters, as well as Chinese and non-Chinese people around the world, we hope it will foster a more comprehensive understanding of China.
Logo
The logo consists of two parts: the top part, a silhouette of the roof of a Chinese pavilion, symbolizes protection and blessing; the bottom part, which is the Chinese character “ren” (people) is spelled out in ribbon text, symbolizing the continuity and vibrance of the Chinese culture. Together, the two parts form the character “wen” (literature) and conveys ACS’s firm commitment to promoting Chinese culture.
Mission
To cater to our ever-changing society and its needs, we strive to introduce China’s history and her latest developments in a concise, graphic-rich and systematic approach to help enhance readers’ knowledge of China’s past and present.
