Who are the famous cultural celebrities in China today?

When I say this, I don't mean that there are no masters of Chinese studies. True masters of Chinese studies will not spread the so-called China culture among the people. Those who spread Chinese studies among the people are all dealers in Chinese studies, and no one can be called a master.

A scholar who can really be called a master must be based on the contemporary era, see through the tradition and become a master who does not ignore the present and fall into the trap of the ancients.

It should be noted that even the heroic and wise predecessors are always limited by the times, and the greatest achievement he can achieve is nothing more than standing at the academic peak of his time. However, future generations can stand on a higher hill and have a broader vision and pattern. If they can't surpass what the ancients saw, then they must be irrefutable mediocrities, far from the "masters".

For example, Zhang Taiyan is not satisfied with the textual research of specific scholars, writings and thoughts, but "the whole history is in his chest", integrating old knowledge with new knowledge, penetrating the evolution of three thousand years of scholarship and building the foundation of modern scholarship. Some even call it "the first attempt of China's academic history".

One of Mr. Taiyan's representative works is called On the Balance of National Heritage. There can be a faint sense of domineering from the title. Those who are "on the scale" can tell right from wrong. They don't have the big picture. How dare they be so arrogant?

All the old knowledge is just a national heritage. Let me weigh it. I really don't know how high it is compared with the moth crawling at the foot of "Chinese studies" now.

Some people still call Liang Qichao, Lu Xun, Hu Shi and other enlightenment thinkers of the Republic of China "masters of Chinese studies". I wonder how they would feel if they had knowledge underground. Of course, it is no problem to single out a star of Chinese studies that stifles the present, but calling them "masters of Chinese studies" really belittles them.

Learn from the east and the west, make the past serve the present, have vision and boldness of vision. Can the words "master of Chinese studies" be bound?

Liang Qichao:

The sky wears its gray and the earth wears its yellow. Even if there were years, there were eight famines. The future is like the sea, and there is plenty of time. Yes, I'm a young China native, and I'm not old! Zhuang Zi, China teenager, borderless! Lu Xun:

Anyway, we must take it with us. We want to use it, store it, or destroy it. Then, if the owner is a new owner, the house becomes a new one. However, first of all, this person should be calm, brave, discerning and not selfish. Without it, you can't be a newcomer. Without it, literature and art can't become new literature and art Hu Shi:

How many of the current quintessence parties are not so ignorant? How can such a person deserve to talk about the quintessence of Chinese culture? If you want to know what is the quintessence of the nation and what is the dross of the country, you must first do some work to sort out the national heritage with a critical attitude and a scientific spirit. Now, those who lick "Chinese studies" blindly, compare your brain and see if your pattern has been opened by old friends nearly a century ago.

To be a modern person, the first thing is to get through modern academic and modern concepts. If you learn something, your mind will be clear, and then you will learn ancient studies and ancient ideas dialectically to avoid sticking to the rules and ruining your life.

The so-called "Chinese studies" are nothing more than "old learning" and "Chinese studies". Among them, mud and sand are mixed, and the fish are mixed, and the indiscriminate worship is what Lu Xun called "waste."

Traditional culture is in our hands, just like accepting an old house. But we are the owners of the house, not the slaves of the house. We can't give up the cobweb dust as a treasure. We should use modern concepts and scientific spirit to examine and criticize, take it useful and seal it useless. Anything toxic or harmful must be discarded without pity.

But with the help of an unknown atmosphere, all kinds of evil spirits, Tom, dick and Harry, suddenly became the "masters of Chinese studies".

We should know that these so-called "masters of Chinese studies" are actually nothing more than traffickers selling "traditions" among the people for fame and fortune. "Chinese studies" is just a commodity in their hands. As long as it can sell at a good price, it doesn't matter what "essence" or "dross", as long as it can fool the public, it will be toxic and harmful. One by one, covered with painted skins, looks like a road and can make a lot of money.

Why not do such a good thing?

However, please remember that real scholarship has always been detached and difficult to get close to the public. Any so-called "master" who blindly touts "Chinese studies" enjoys a high reputation among the public, but is worthless in academic circles, please keep your eyes open. Without exception, he is either a trafficker or a liar.
