Some teachers of the School of Economics and Management and more than 300 professional master's students in the class of 2017 listened to the academic report.
Professor Cao Tinghua first discussed"What is Chinese Studies?" was discussed with the students. He said that Chinese studies are universal, and any country with a certain historical and cultural inheritance will naturally have academics, theories and doctrines that the country believes in and inherits. China's traditional Chinese studies emerged in the context of the late Ming and early Qing dynasties when "Western learning spread eastward" and the promotion of "organizing the national heritage and promoting the quintessence of the country" was advocated. He further elaborated that Chinese studies emphasize "academic theory", "academics" and "knowledge". "Principle" seeks "the way of all things", "academic science" seeks "the law of all things", and "knowledge" seeks the "solution of all things".
Afterwards, Professor Cao"Where does Chinese studies exist?" An in-depth analysis was conducted to the students. Professor Cao said that Chinese studies are widely found in various classics that have been handed down, especially the classics in the classics, such as the Four Books, the Five Classics, the writings of hundreds of schools of thought, the Twenty-Four Histories, Han Fu, Tang poetry, Song lyrics, Yuan opera, as well as "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic", "The Complete Book of Nongzheng", "Mengxi Bi Tan", etc. In particular, he explained the "Sikuquanshu" and interpreted the classics, histories, chapters and collections. He believes that classics are the soul of Chinese studies, history is the vein of Chinese studies, Zi is the bones of Chinese studies, and collection is the muscles of Chinese studies.
When discussing self-cultivation through Chinese classical studies, Professor Cao reminded the students that Chinese classical studies are not "Metaphysics" is deeply rooted in our lives. Personality cultivation in Chinese studies is fundamentally about learning to be a good person. To learn how to be a good person, you must cultivate the "Five Hearts". He asked the students to be "people of integrity", "diligent people" and "responsible people"; they must learn to "establish themselves", "determine", "establish their family" and "establish their career". Professor Cao asked students to learn to cherish: cherish their years, cherish learning opportunities, cherish their job positions, cherish the relationship between teachers and students, and cherish the friendship between classmates; they should pay attention to the creation of a learning atmosphere, expand their own experience, pay attention to extensive reading and professional research, and at the same time, pay attention to obtaining nutrition from a high-level tutor team. Professor Cao warned the students that the cultivation of excellent personality is to "pay attention to knowledge everywhere and practice it all the time". To this end, he enthusiastically called on the students: In life, take a stroll and taste the scenery you have seen along the way, observe it carefully, and read every mountain, water, plant and tree as a book.
Mr. Cao, who is very knowledgeable, knows Chinese studies theories and allusions, poems and songs, and collections of classics and history at his fingertips. Professor Cao’s speech style is friendly, humorous, and eloquent. From beginning to end, the lecture’s beautiful language expressions flowed like flowing water, and Professor Cao’s unique personality charm deeply infected and moved the students present.
