"Over the past three years, through the contact with the tutors of the National Academy of Sciences, I realized that to be a scholar should be a scholar of the world, and to be a scholar should be a scholar of the world, and recognized the necessity of interdisciplinary research and some necessary methods, and also tried to cultivate the habit of cultivating both human character and learning in governing and cultivating the body."

Employee Xuemei, who worked in cultural relics archaeology for eight years, entered the National Academy of Sciences three years ago as a doctor of archaeology and museology, with a research focus on Neolithic jade, and was involved in excavating and compiling data from the Donghulin site. By taking a wide range of courses in literature, history, and philosophy during her enrollment at the National Academy of Sciences, she was able to combine her fieldwork with interdisciplinary research: "My major direction is jade, which is itself a part of traditional culture. Through my study, I can carry out a comprehensive and multidisciplinary research on the unearthed jade from Yanzhao, Haidai and the Central Plains, and I believe that it is also an important reference value for the study of Chinese jade culture and even for the study of the origin of the Chinese civilization, which is inseparable from the cultivation of the tutors of the Institute on Chinese traditional culture. These are inseparable from the cultivation on Chinese traditional culture by the tutors of the institute." After graduation, Xuemei joined the China University of Geosciences as a teacher. Another graduate, Wang Wei, also joined the Guangdong Office of the Liaison Office of the Central People's Government of the People's Republic of China in Hong Kong and Macao to continue to work on the dissemination and exchange of traditional Chinese culture.
