w88 casino News Network (Reporter Li Fengjiao Photography Le Haonan)From the Aegean Sea to the Yellow River, from the Qin and Han Dynasties to the Ming and Qing Dynasties,12month19日18:30, Yu Qiuyu, a famous cultural scholar, was a guest at the General Education Lecture Hall of the University of w88 and Economics, interpreting the Chinese context that has been flowing for thousands of years in the long river of literature and history for the students in the library lecture hall.
The event was packed with seats
This lecture was hosted by the female section of the w88 casino student union. Although they had purchased tickets in advance, many people still arrived early. Students who came to listen to the lecture were standing in the bright library lecture hall and even in the aisle. There was a burst of thunderous applause, and the energetic Yu Qiuyu walked onto the stage and began to speak in a gentle voice with a touch of Wu Nong's accent.
“We are like giants coming to a street market, desperately trying to tell everyone that we have a strong body, but the more we flex our muscles, the more scared others become.” Yu Qiuyu used this metaphor to illustrate the current dilemma that China’s economy is strong enough, but its culture is not understood. How to get out of confusion? He answered that what we need is a "person" who can tell everyone the temper and character of the "giant", and this "person" is culture. The definition of culture should be neither empty nor narrow. Yu Qiuyu believes that culture is a spiritual value and lifestyle that has formed habits, and they will eventually settle into the personality of an individual or even a group.
Yu Qiuyu
Speaking of context, Yu Qiuyu is more talkative. His smooth narrative is interspersed with abundant quotations, and historical nodes and characters are readily available. As for the starting point of the context, he gave this incisive summary, "European thinkers are thinking about the relationship between man and nature by the Aegean Sea, Indian thinkers are thinking about the relationship between man and God by the Ganges River, and Chinese thinkers are thinking about the relationship between people by the Yellow River. Together, they are a symbol of the maturity of human culture."
As for the specific development process of Chinese cultural context, Yu Qiuyu also elaborated on the historical trajectory of Xia, Qin and Han, Tang, Northern Wei, Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties.He praised the imperial glory of the Qin and Han Dynasties, and lamented the grandeur of the Northern Wei Dynasty with both inclusiveness and action. He recounted the cultural context of the Tang Dynasty and described the "eternal pride of Chinese cultural context." But he also pointed out that in such a bad era when the Chinese nation was so humiliated by foreign powers, it burst out with a "sudden determination to change", and the Chinese culture has never been broken!
Answer students’ questions
During the on-site question and answer session, some students asked how they viewed the usefulness and uselessness of thinking. In this regard, Yu Qiuyu believed that thinking should not be simply divided into usefulness and uselessness, but should consider its value in depth. He advised the students present that many things lose their value once they happen, and what is useful now may become useless in the future. "When the waves of information Sweeping you, you think you have the waves, but in fact the waves have you." Regarding another student's question "Can we usher in a new cultural renaissance?", Yu Qiuyu's answer is that because there are no indicators for cultural development, there is a lack of leading figures, and there is a lack of publicity, we can only place our hope on the group, touching the surrounding groups through the individual's personality charm, and promoting the culture through the group.
“We are an amazing nation,” Yu Qiuyu emphasized. The Chinese nation has been able to overcome obstacles and live with blood and tears for thousands of years and still remain vibrant. It has become an irreplaceable line of human civilization. He appealed, "If we can protect this lineage well, it will mean that one of the most lasting miracles of human existence on this planet happened on this land and happened to us."
