Hsü Fu-kuan (1903–82), Chinese intellectual and historian who served directly under Chiang Kai-shek at one time, but became a critic of the Nationalist government after it moved to Taiwan in 1949. He founded Democratic Review, the influential magazine that spread the ideas of contemporary New Confucians. He also started the Department of Chinese at Tunghai University in 1955 and invited Mou Tsung-san to join the staff to form another center of New Confucianism other than New Asia College in Hong Kong. He characterized his own position as between academic studies and politics, and between historical scholarship and philosophical understanding. His magnum opus was the three-volume History of Han Thought; his works on Chinese literature and art were also widely quoted. See also CH ‘ IEN MU , HSIUNG SHIH – LI , T ‘ ANG CHÜN – . S.-h.L.
