Professional Endeavors 🌍

In 2022, Dr. Li furthered her expertise by becoming a postdoctoral researcher at the Department of South Asian Studies at Peking University. Under the guidance of her co-tutor Zhan Ru, Dr. Li expanded her research to explore South Asian influences on Chinese history, particularly focusing on the cultural and religious exchanges that shaped medieval Chinese society.

Contributions and Research Focus 🔍

Dr. Li has made notable contributions to the understanding of Chinese Buddhist rituals and gender dynamics in historical practices. One of her key publications, "Buddhist Ritual of Offering During the Tang: An Approach Based on the Colophons of Fangshan Stone Scriptures" (Wen Shi, 2019), investigates the rituals associated with Buddhist offerings during the Tang Dynasty, providing new insights into religious practices of the time. Her research on the Bon-odori festival, titled "To Save Father or Mother—A review upon the medieval Bon-odori Festival from the perspective of gender" (Journal of Chinese Literature and History, 2019), offers a gendered perspective on this traditional festival, shedding light on societal views of familial roles in medieval China. Additionally, her 2022 paper "Discussion on the change of the story of King Ajātaśatru's murder of his father and imprison of his mother" (Mt Wutai Researches) delves into the evolution of an ancient narrative and its significance in both Buddhist and historical contexts.

Accolades and Recognition 🏆

Dr. Li has garnered significant academic recognition for her work, particularly her contributions to Chinese history and Buddhist studies. Her articles, which have been published in reputable journals such as Wen Shi and Journal of Chinese Literature and History, are considered valuable resources for scholars in these fields. Her research has also been acknowledged by institutions such as Tsinghua University and Peking University, reflecting her growing influence in her specialized areas of study.

Impact and Influence 🌟

Through her research, Dr. Li has had a profound impact on the field of Chinese history, especially regarding the intersections of religion, gender, and social structures.
