Personality assessment

1, giving lectures abroad for many years, has made Zong I Rao "famous" and highly respected. 1962 won the "Scholar Award" of Sinology at the French Academy, which is known as the Nobel Prize in Sinology. But it seems that fewer and fewer people in China know about him, and of course he never cares. Someone praised him as a "master" to his face, and Zong I smiled and said, "Master? I am a big pig (in Chaoshan dialect,' master' is homophonic with' big pig'). There are too many' master' hats flying all over the sky now. In fact, Master used to be called a monk, but I dare not. "

2. Zong Qinghou's talk shows that this well-read person always has a awe of the "national foundation". In 1959, Oracle Bone Inscriptions's book A General Examination of Characters in Yinzhenbu, he put forward the view that the examination of history is equivalent to the study of economics and society, and that "history" is the foundation of facts and "classics" is an idea refined from facts; From "history" to "classics" is a process from practice to theory.

The ancients in China not only studied history, but also read classics, because classics are a theoretical summary of history, which is universal and therefore more instructive. The main body of China's culture is Confucian classics, so he has deep respect for the ancient history of our nation. The study of Chinese studies should not blaspheme the "foundation of Chinese studies", but should cherish and respect the "ancient meaning" and explain the history of Confucian studies along the original meaning of Chinese culture.
