SUMMARY:Father and Son: A Neglected Legacy of the Renaissance on Liang Qich
 ao and Liang Sicheng
DESCRIPTION:\n	Liu Chen (Assistant Professor\, School of Architecture\, Tsi
 nghua University\; HYI Visiting Scholar 2018-19)\n\n	Chair/discussant: Lin
 o Pertile (Harvard College Professor and Carl A. Pescosolido Professor of 
 Romance Languages and Literatures\, Emeritus\, Harvard University)\n\n\n	I
 n 1920\, Liang Qichao wrote his Intellectual Trends in the Ch’ing Period
 \, a work originally intended as a preface to A History of the European Re
 naissance by Jiang Fangzhen\, but published as an independent study due to
  its unexpected length equal to Jiang’s text. Three decades later\, in 1
 952\, Liang’s eldest son Liang Sicheng published an article on Leonardo 
 da Vinci to commemorate the Renaissance polymath’s 500th anniversary of 
 birth. While the elder Liang’s book was received with great enthusiasm\,
  the son’s article has been almost entirely forgotten. More perplexingly
 \, the discussion of the Renaissance\, an underlying theme in both Liangs
 ’ writings\, seems to have been either neglected intentionally or dismis
 sed as irrelevant by scholars of Chinese intellectual history as well as a
 rchitectural historians. A probe into the rationale behind such neglect re
 veals some persistent misinterpretations that have hindered our understand
 ing of the Liangs’ intellectual vision for modern China.
