Alan has lived in China and Taiwan for extended periods, especially Nanjing, Beijing, and Taipei. He has traveled throughout many regions of China, following the traces of celebrated men of yore deep into the remote mountains they called home. He dabbles at playing the qin, and claims that his enthusiasm far exceeds his accomplishment; but his appreciation of the instrument is deep, and his interest longstanding. Alan’s primary research interests span Chinese culture, Han through Tang periods of the first eight centuries of our common era. He recently published Patterns of Disengagement: The Practice and Portrayal of Reclusion in Early Medieval China (Stanford, 2000), and is working on biography and hagiography in medieval China. He is also editor of a series of books on exemplary conduct in traditional Chinese culture and at work on a collaborative project concerning the German polymath G. W. Leibniz and his association with the French Jesuits at the Chinese court in the late 17th and 18th centuries. Alan is president of the Early Medieval China Group and is book review editor for the journal Early Medieval China; and he serves on the board of the T’ang Studies Society. 柏士隱先生是西雅圖華盛頓大學中國古典文學與中國語言博士 現任索思摩大學副教授 亞洲研究主席及 中文系主任 他住過中國及台灣一段時間 尤其在南京 北京及台北 他旅遊中國各地 跟著古人的腳步走入 他們稱為家的深山 他偶然彈琴 雖然熱情超過他的成就 但是愛琴之心深遠而長久 士隱目前主要對於中華 文化研究的範圍 是從漢朝到唐朝期間 曾出版Patterns of Disengagement: The Practice and Portrayal of Reclusion in Early Medieval China (Stanford, 2000) 並研究中國中古時代西方聖徒 言行錄 及編撰中國傳統模範經典系列 合作研究的項目是關於德國博學者G.
