Thoughts on Reading Ji Xianlin's Talks on Chinese Studies

Ji Xianlin, a linguist, is an expert on oriental culture. Known as "academic leader", there are his articles in the primary school Chinese textbook.

Engaged in education, very interested in this book. The book is divided into many aspects: rambling on Chinese studies, cultural connotation of China, macroscopic view of China culture, China's classic introduction to the West, China's fine arts introduction to the West, China's traditional culture and its characteristics, China's surname culture, European Laozi, elegant culture and popular culture, and Memorial College.

What is the content of this book? ,? Ji xian? In other words, it is "rambling". It can be seen that Mr. Ji's reading intention and extensive knowledge.

Mr. Ji is a simple and sincere person. Can be seen in "Be True to Yourself" (preface). The language is plain and sincere, easy to understand.

"What a person's life is like, what it is like when he is young, what it is like in middle age, and what it is like when he is old, should be expressed truthfully."

Etymology says: "Chinese studies are the foundation of the country."

Mr. Ji believes that anything unique to China and different from foreign cultures can be included in Chinese studies; The culture created by 56 ethnic groups also belongs to the category of Chinese studies; China-oriented foreign culture also belongs to the category of China studies.

What is China culture?

Mr Ji thinks that China culture is composed of two parts. First, knowledge, understanding and appreciation belong to knowledge; First, discipline and ethics and social morality belong to the line.

The characteristics of China culture are most obviously reflected in its ethical color, its "three cardinal guides and six disciplines" and the spirit of solving the relationship between people.

Three cardinal principles: monarch and minister, father and son, husband and wife. Six disciplines: father, brother, clan, uncle, teacher and friend.

This rule has played a role in restraining and regulating all kinds of interpersonal relationships in the whole society at that time and even now. Other countries do not have such moral constraints.

For thousands of years, under the influence of traditional culture and traditional morality, China has maintained stable family relations and ethnic relations.

Looking around the world, no nation has been controlled by this mainstream culture for thousands of years. This is really important! For a long time, many countries want to learn from China or follow suit!

Mr. Ji Xianlin believes that "China's ethics and morality have two points worth promoting. The first point is to emphasize integrity and backbone. " "The second point is patriotism.

It is China who really advocates patriotism in the world. The theme of "patriotism education" can be found in primary and secondary education. That is to educate our next generation to be patriotic from an early age. Only when there is a country can there be a home. Only when the country is strong can our people have a bright future.

Moreover, China's traditional culture has a far-reaching influence on other countries in the world. The spread of China's classics to the West not only influenced European philosophy, but also influenced European politics.

Carrying forward Chinese studies is also carrying forward Chinese traditional culture, which is a cause that conforms to the people's hearts and the trend. China traditional culture is the mainstream of world culture!
