The following quotation is from Mr. Ren.
There is no purely academic social science in the world. Learning without paying attention to people and society is fake learning.
Effective life can make people happy.
China has a history of 5,000 years. Say 5000 years when it is not needed, and say 60 years when it is not needed. Five thousand years is five thousand years!
Culture is a diversified form, which should be constantly enriched and developed. It has been suggested that China culture has four basic spirits: harmony between man and nature, people-oriented, self-improvement and harmony. My point is: in every period of social change, China culture welcomes this change, not resists it; Digest and absorb it later and continue to develop and progress. The great influence of Confucius is also the result of his continuous explanation, enrichment and development by later generations.
If a diagnosis is given to the society, it shows that people know a lot about the outside world and little about themselves, so it is not enough to improve themselves. Natural science and social science generally look like human legs, but natural science legs are long and social science legs are short. One leg is long and the other is short, so walking will naturally be uncoordinated.
With the knowledge base of China's culture and history, patriotism has taken root. Zhang has a saying that "the country destroys the people and goes to its history first." The greatness of the Chinese nation lies in the cultural tradition, and the most important thing to inherit the tradition is to rely on historical education. Ren Yuji
There is too little idealism among young people nowadays. There should be more ideals, even fantasy is worth encouraging, even fantasy. Don't be too realistic and utilitarian.
China has many traditional virtues, saying "Don't do to others what you don't want others to do to you". Can it be changed to "Don't do to others what you don't want others to do to you"? You love Chili, and you can't let others eat Chili. You should treat your friends like this, and you should treat your family like this. This is true between people and between countries. Therefore, classic things are very valuable and can stand scrutiny.
● Cultivating talents cannot be the same as steaming steamed buns. For example, a musician is far from mathematics, so some talented young people can't go to school, and finally the specialty of music can't be brought into play. This is the case with liberal arts and science and engineering. Historian Wu Han and literary historian Qian Zhongshu did not do well in mathematics in those years, but this did not affect them to become experts and experts.
● The ultimate goal of education is to educate people. You can't just look at the report, but also look at the number of doctoral students and master students. The key is to see if there are talents.
People spend a lot of energy to conquer the earth and the world, and then change the living environment of human beings. Now it is close to plunder and extraction. However, people's research on human and social development is not enough. For example, questions about morality, humanity and how people can improve themselves. How much have we enriched and deepened our thinking 2,500 years ago?
● Quantization should have a certain limit. Product specifications can be quantified, but not everything can be quantified. For example, in A Dream of Red Mansions, a woman's appearance cannot be described by how many centimeters her eyes are, how high her nose is and how thick her waist is. Training talents cannot be measured by quantitative standards. When I take graduate students, I let them read the assigned books, write reading notes, and then check them regularly. I never force them to publish articles.
