On 6 November 2016 starting at 2 PM we had a New York Qin Society meeting in Weehawken (10 minutes by bus fro Port Authority). The meeting included at presentation by Bill Mak. Bill, an Associate professor at Kyoto University, was a visiting research scholar at the Institute for the Study of the Ancient World (ISAW), New York University. Previously he studied Linguistics and Sanskrit at McGill University, then Buddhist Philology at Peking University.

Bill, an accomplished qin player with interesting insights on guqin aesthetics, has published research on Pu’an Zhou, and he talked about this. He said, “I can send out a version of the English paper which gives some general idea, but more specifically I can talk about the interesting philological details of the work which I described in my Japanese paper.”
