IAK Archive – Memory and Transmission
Editor's Note
Preserve memory for the past. Leave kindling for the future.
The classics remain timeless not because they belong to the past, but because they continue to speak to the questions of our time.
The IAK Archive is centered on the enduring questions shared by human civilization.

A Living Archive
This archive brings together classical texts, study guides, lecture transcripts, and research articles, developed through years of study, teaching, writing, and editorial work by Jian Geyang.
Many entries include selected passages from the original classics, accompanied by translations, editorial notes, and reflections that seek to make these works more accessible to contemporary readers.
May this archive help readers approach the classics with greater understanding and serve as a bridge between past and present, East and West.
As an ongoing personal editorial project, this living archive will continue to grow through study, research, translation, and editorial refinement. Existing entries may be revised, expanded, or updated over time.
