Wang Tingxin, president of the Feng Youlan Research Association of Henan Province, pointed out in his speech that Mr. Feng Youlan is a well-known chinese and foreign philosopher who went out from Qiyi Town, Tanghe County, Henan Province. Mr. Feng Youlan has made significant contributions to the history of Chinese philosophy and many other fields, leaving valuable spiritual wealth in today's society. The noble spirit formed by Mr. Feng Youlan's inspirational life is expressed in the academic exploration and academic creation of his lifelong hard work. First, the spirit of having great ambitions, being diligent and learning, and being loyal to the country. Feng Youlan has had dreams since childhood and has studied Chinese classics diligently. Feng Youlan began to enter the family school at the age of six, first reading the Three Character Classic, then reading the Analects, Mencius, The University, and the Zhongyong, and then reading the Book of Poetry in the Five Classics, and then reading the Main Classics of the Five Classics and the Thirteen Classics at the age of twelve. Feng Youlan achieved excellent results in studying Chinese classics and Chinese and Western philosophies, laying a cultural foundation for Mr. Feng Youlan to become a famous philosopher. Second, self-improvement and struggle are not only the spirit of pursuing philosophical innovation. Mr. Feng Youlan is a great scholar who constantly explores and has the courage to innovate, and he never follows the song ming science, but continues to talk, and constantly innovates the song ming science. In order to fill the gaps in the history of Chinese philosophy, Mr. Feng Youlan used the new realism to create the first and second volumes of the History of Chinese Philosophy from 1927 to 1935, establishing Feng Youlan's status as a historian of Chinese philosophy. For the victory of China's War of Resistance Against Japan, Feng Youlan used logical analysis to create the "Six Books of Zhenyuan" in 1937-1945, which laid the foundation for Feng Youlan's status as a philosopher. In order to meet the needs of the construction of new China, Feng Youlan used Marxist theory as the guide in the last decade from 1985 to 1995 to create a new compilation of the history of Chinese philosophy, realizing the greater transformation and development of Feng Youlan's philosophy and completing Mr. Feng Youlan's lifelong long-cherished wish. It fully proves that Feng Youlan is a great scholar who strives for self-improvement in the pursuit of philosophical truth. Third, the spirit of loyal patriotism and nationalism. Feng Youlan proposed to "explain the old state to supplement the new life", referred to as "the new life of the old state". Feng Youlan's explanation of the new life of the old state is: carry forward the excellent traditional Chinese culture, aiming to promote China's modernization construction and the new mission of the rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. Mr. Feng Youlan transformed the cultural concept of "old state and new destiny" into a political concept as the fundamental purpose of his life inspiration, so as to closely link his own destiny with the fate of the motherland and the fate of the Chinese nation, and always breathe with the country, the nation and the people. Therefore, Mr. Feng Youlan's interpretation and practice of "the new life of the old state" not only reflects that Mr. Feng Youlan is a great philosopher of loyalty and nationalism, but also reflects the fundamental driving force and source of Mr. Feng Youlan's lifelong engagement in philosophical academic creation and continuous pursuit of philosophical truth. Fourth, adhere to the spirit of Chinese high morality and seek happiness for the people. Feng Youlan pointed out that it is different to provide people with positive knowledge with science, and the fundamental task of philosophy is to make people "settle down" and give people a noble spiritual realm, so as to embark on a happy life. Feng Youlan's "New World Training" stipulates ten moral principles for the treatment of life in the world; in the "New Matters" it proposes to take the road of industrialization for China's prosperity and strength and the happiness of the people; in "New Original People", it puts forward four spiritual realms of life: the natural realm, the utilitarian realm, the moral realm and the heaven and earth realm, and points out that the moral realm and the heaven and earth realm are the higher and highest spiritual realms. People need a moral realm in their lives, and the lofty ideal of life is the realm of heaven and earth, so as to find the meaning and value of happiness for life.
Mr. Feng Youlan's inspirational life and the process of academic creation, most of the time is the Chinese nation is in danger, the people live in the depths of the water, Feng Youlan with the feeling of home and country worried about the country and the people and the ardent expectation of seeking national prosperity and strength and national rejuvenation, completed a series of philosophical creation of the historical mission. Therefore, in commemorating and studying Feng Youlan's philosophical and academic thinking, we must integrate it with the reality of socialism with Chinese characteristics, with China's excellent traditional culture, and with the economic and cultural construction of Feng Youlan's hometown, and strive to build a beautiful socialist homeland. First, continue to strengthen the study, research and promotion of Feng Youlan's philosophical and academic thought. We strive to implement the philosophical spirit of Mr. Feng Youlan in our practical work to promote the development and revitalization of local economy and culture. Second, continue to strengthen the cultural construction of Youlan's hometown and expand the influence of Feng Youlan's thought. Regarding the cultural construction of Feng Youlan's hometown, Tanghe County's actions have achieved results early and quickly, and the results are more remarkable, and Mr. Feng Youlan has become a shining business card for the construction and development of Tanghe County. In recent years, the cultural construction of Youlan in Qiyi Town, Tanghe County, has also made great progress, and some cultural construction projects marked by Feng Youlan have been landed. It is suggested that in the future, we should continue to strengthen the cultural construction of Youlan's hometown, focus on accelerating the restoration of Youlan's former residence, enrich and improve follow-up projects such as Feng Youlan Cultural Park and Feng Youlan Bronze Statue, and strive to build a more beautiful Youlan hometown with the goal of building a town with Feng Youlan cultural characteristics. Third, strengthen the construction of the Feng Youlan Education Fund and give play to the important role of the Feng Youlan Education Fund in motivating teachers and students. Since its establishment more than five years ago, Feng Youlan Education Foundation has played a good role in Tanghe County and the pilot school Youlan Junior High School in Qiyi Town, Tanghe County. In the future, we will further expand and strengthen the Feng Youlan Education Fund, take Mr. Feng Youlan's noble spirit of inspiring life as an example, and encourage the students in Youlan's hometown to realize the educational task of building people with virtue and aspiring to become talents as soon as possible, and make greater contributions to the cause of education in their hometown!
