Why is money a shameless scholar?

Qian Mu is a famous historian and thinker in modern China. His academic achievements and thoughts had a wide influence on the intellectual circles in China at that time. But some people think that Qian Mu is a shameless scholar, and this evaluation may come from the following aspects:

First of all, Qian Mu is controversial in academic research. Some of his views and theories have been criticized as "pseudoscience". For example, he thinks that there is a law of "circular theory" in the history of China, that is, historical development is cyclical according to a certain period, which is criticized as inconsistent with historical facts. In addition, some of Qian Mu's research methods are also accused of being too subjective and lacking in scientificity and objectivity.

Secondly, Qian Mu's political stance has also been criticized by some people. He held a conservative position in China's modern politics, opposed radical political reform and revolution, and was regarded by some as one of the representatives of reactionary forces. Culturally, he advocated the revival of traditional Confucian culture and thought that China should return to traditional culture, which was also considered exclusive by some people.

Finally, Qian Mu's character and morality have also been questioned by some people. Some of his actions and remarks were accused of hypocrisy and contradiction. For example, he once criticized other scholars for praising Chiang Kai-shek, but he also defended Chiang Kai-shek himself, which was considered hypocritical and immoral by some people.

It should be noted that evaluating whether a person is a shameless scholar is a subjective judgment, and different people may have different views and evaluations. In any case, we should treat Qian Mu's academic achievements and thoughts objectively, and evaluate and reflect on them.
