What are the manifestations of Chinese continuity in contemporary social studies in China?

The "continuation of literati" in contemporary social studies in China is characterized by low-level repetition, almost no empirical education, and scholars' stubborn rejection of science.

"Low-level repetition" refers to the lack of innovation and originality in contemporary social research in China, which often only refers to, interprets or criticizes existing theories or materials repeatedly, without putting forward new viewpoints, methods or discoveries.

"The education of empirical methods is almost blank" refers to the lack of education and cultivation of empirical scientific methods in contemporary social research in China, which leads to insufficient understanding and application of empirical methods by social researchers and makes it difficult to collect, analyze and verify effective data.

"Literati stubbornly refuse science" refers to the rejection and resistance to scientific rationality and scientific spirit in China's contemporary social research. They think that the scientific method can't reflect the particularity and complexity of China society, and only the traditional moral concepts and the cultural literacy of literati can reveal the essence of China society.

These manifestations reflect some problems and challenges existing in contemporary social studies in China, and remind us to strengthen the construction and innovation of sociology with China characteristics, so as to better respond to the demands of the times and people's livelihood.

Response measures:

1. It is necessary to improve the scientific literacy and innovative consciousness of social researchers, encourage them to learn and use scientific methods, and carry out valuable and influential research, rather than being satisfied with repetition and imitation.

2. It is necessary to strengthen the education and training of empirical methods of social research, improve the data ability and analytical ability of social researchers, and enable them to effectively collect, process, interpret and verify data, instead of relying on subjective assumptions and empty preaching.

3. We should respect scientific rationality and scientific spirit, acknowledge the universality and effectiveness of scientific methods, and at the same time pay attention to learning from and innovating localization theories suitable for China society, instead of blindly pursuing or rejecting western theories.

We should adhere to the people-centered development concept, pay attention to social problems and people's livelihood needs, and let social research serve national development and social progress, not for personal fame or political purposes.
