How to revive Chinese studies?

Sinology or "sinology heritage" refers to the inherent knowledge of a country. China's inherent knowledge is China's traditional China culture, including philosophy, history, literature and linguistics. From generation to generation, hundred schools of thought began to contend, and after the dispute between Han Dynasty and modern ancient prose, the talk of Wei and Jin Dynasties, the interpretation of Confucian classics in the Sui and Tang Dynasties in the Southern and Northern Dynasties, the translation and introduction of Buddhist scriptures, the textual research of Neo-Confucianism in the Song and Ming Dynasties, and the study of modern hundred schools of thought, it inherited and merged into one line of Chinese studies. First, the content of the revival of Sinology is determined by the nature of Sinology itself and the needs of the real society. Nowadays, many people in society equate Chinese studies with Confucianism or Confucianism. In fact, the scope of Chinese studies is very wide, including philosophy, history, literature, linguistics and many other disciplines and schools. Confucianism or Confucianism is just a branch of Chinese studies. Of course, it is an indisputable fact that Confucianism or Confucianism has gradually become the main vein of traditional culture since the Han Dynasty "ousted hundreds of schools and respected Confucianism alone", but when it comes to reviving Chinese studies, other non-Confucian schools can not be ignored, and reviving non-Confucian schools is extremely important in Chinese studies. On the whole, many disciplines in Sinology and their inheritance and development are very complicated, among which the philosophical thought of a hundred schools of thought contending and its later research are the core and link to bypass other branches, and also the essence of Sinology. The primary task of the revival of Chinese studies is to revive the traditional contention of a hundred schools of thought and his later philosophical thoughts in cosmology, epistemology, ethics, education, politics and religion. In these respects, the pre-Qin philosophers and Laozi have their own advantages and disadvantages. It is the attitude of Confucianism that is not mofei Confucianism, the view that Confucianism worships or respects Xun, and the practice of rejecting Confucius and advocating philosophers in modern times, which made the Han and Song Dynasties only respect Confucianism and reject Confucianism. Since Confucianism, Mohism, Taoism, France and military have their own advantages and disadvantages, they should learn from each other's strengths. Of course, it may be much more complicated and controversial, but this general direction and principle must be adhered to. In addition, just as in the New Culture Movement, when many people talked about "overthrowing Confucius' shops", they completely abandoned Confucianism or Confucianism. When it comes to reviving Chinese studies, it is not advisable to turn out all the belongings of our ancestors for reuse. During the "New Culture Movement", Chen Duxiu once said, "The advantages of Confucianism will never fail my servant. "What he wants to criticize is the imprisonment of Confucianism on people's thoughts. Its purpose is to make people break through the shackles of feudal thought, truly reflect on the truth of saving the country independently and thoroughly, and find ways and methods suitable for China's independence, democracy and prosperity. This criticism is not to completely abandon Confucianism or Confucianism, let alone to deny all the traditional academic cultures in China. Today, when we revive Chinese studies, in turn, we must realize that Chinese studies need to be discarded. We should dare to admit its shortcomings and explore remedies. For example, it is necessary to break the Confucian or Confucian "national heritage" such as the supremacy of blood and patriarchal hierarchy. Otherwise, how can we develop social welfare, equality and freedom? Second, the choice of ways and methods for the revival of Chinese studies should be based on the characteristics of the inheritance of Chinese studies and the changes of the times and the world. We are reviving Chinese studies now, not to return to the old paper pile, nor to simply restate the views of ancient sages and sages. Instead, we should pay attention to the contemporary era and the world when sorting out and studying Chinese studies, and inherit and develop theoretical viewpoints that can promote the progress of the times, better guide life and point to a better future. From the basic point of view, it is necessary to revive the classics of Chinese studies. Because popularization is the premise and condition of improvement, table tennis can illustrate this point. At present, some achievements have been made in this regard, which is generally worthy of recognition. However, at present, the scope of reading Confucian classics is still more concerned with Confucianism or Confucianism, and what we read is mainly Confucianism or Confucian "classics". In the future, it is necessary to broaden the field, not just Confucian classics such as three-character classics, four books and five classics. We should take the classic works of a hundred schools of thought as the scope of reading classics, and choose the classics we want to read according to the actual situation. At the same time, it is right to read classics from children, but it is not only a problem for children to read classics, but we adults should also practice it in the process of learning China classics. At present, people over the age of 25 and under the age of 50 do not read many classics of traditional culture, but most of them are in the field of literature; Ordinary college students, even graduate students, often don't know much about traditional culture if they are not from Chinese Department, History Department and Philosophy Department. Even in the field of history and philosophy, if they study and study foreign history and western philosophers, they may not have a deep understanding of Chinese studies. At the same time, the revival of Chinese studies must draw lessons from and learn from western learning. When I say to learn western learning, I'm afraid some people think I'm preaching that western learning is superior to middle school, but it's not. In my opinion, the more advanced people and advanced theories, the more they will learn from others. I mention learning western learning because the study of eastern and western cultures can confirm each other and make use of each other to deepen our understanding and grasp. No matter China people or foreigners, their sensory psychology is roughly the same, and there are many similarities or at least similarities between schools that deal with various problems under similar circumstances, such as Mozi and Aristotle. One party has everything and the other party has nothing, which is often caused by different situations and times. Western learning is not necessarily inferior to Chinese learning, and Chinese learning should not be arrogant or pretentious. In fact, the revival of Chinese studies needs western learning to explain and elaborate. At the same time, because most of China's ancient academic works are parallel prose-so are general articles such as Tianxiapian in Zhuangzi and Yiwenzhi in Hanshu-rarely handed down systematically. Until modern times, Hu Shi and others took western learning as a reference and pioneered a systematic study of Chinese studies, which cannot but be carried forward today. Contemporary China is in a world of increasingly open, increasingly close contact and increasingly developed technical means such as network. At the beginning of the in-depth spread of western learning and the revival of Chinese studies, it is the general trend to create a new philosophy and new scholarship in contemporary China that conforms to Chinese and foreign thoughts. I'm afraid the theory of comprehensive cultural innovation put forward by Mr. Zhang Dainian in his early years will be verified in contemporary China, and the real revival of Chinese studies is also the revival of this comprehensive innovation and development ...
