The rise of National Socialism forced Dr. Schindler, who was Jewish, to leave Germany, thus ending the original series. In 1949, Schindler revived the journal in a "New Series" in England. The new series came to an end in 1975, the victim of economic difficulties. In 1988, Denis Twitchett revived the journal in its "Third Series" in the United States. It moved to the Institute of History and Philology, Academia Sinica, Taiwan in 1998, where it is currently based. In response to the growth of East Asian studies, the Third Series focuses solely on China, covering all periods of Chinese history, literature, ideas and culture. Included are the histories and cultures of other East and Central Asian peoples in their relations with China. The journal is issued semi-annually. Publisher Information The Institute of History and Philology (IHP), Academia Sinica is one of the most accomplished research institutions in the international Chinese studies community. Founded by Fu Ssu-nien in 1929 in Canton, it moved to Peking in 1929 and then on to Nan-ching in 1934. By the beginning of the Sino-Japanese War, IHP had won worldwide acclaim for its scholarly accomplishments. The archaeological excavation of Yin-hsü in An-yang, He-nan province, patently marked the beginning of a new era in the study of Chinese antiquity. IHP settled at its current location in Taipei in 1954. It now consists of four departments: history, archaeology, anthropology, and philology, and also holds a library and two museums. The publications of IHP includes The Bulletin of the Institute of History and Philology, Asia Major, Disquisitions on the Past and Present, and special topic monographs, archaeological reports, and collections of historical documents, totaling one thousand volumes.

JSTOR Collection. How did nomadic people affect China?Moreover, nomads presided over the Silk Roads, the vast network of trade routes that spanned the Asian continent. In fact, the Silk Roads began in trade between China and the steppe to supply China with horses. Throughout the history of overland trade, the nomads played a key role.
What was the relationship between nomadic peoples and settled societies?The relationship between nomads and the settled civilizations that surrounded this vast land was one of commerce as well as warfare. The nomads' trade was not based on gain but rather on providing themselves with goods they did not produce.
When did the nomads invade China?Hun Origin. No one knows exactly where the Huns came from. Some scholars believe they originated from the nomad Xiongnu people who entered the historical record in 318 B.C. and terrorized China during the Qin Dynasty and during the later Han Dynasty.
Why might nomads and settled communities have conflict?Being settled meant being tied to land and possessions; being nomadic meant having a mobile community with a mobile food supply. This allowed nomads to attack and plunder resources. They could gain access to agricultural products without having to farm or trade. Of course, this angered settled communities.
