There is such a school in China, which has trained a large number of outstanding students in just 8 years, and has trained two Nobel Prize winners, five Winners of China's National High-tech Award, eight winners of the "Two Bombs and One Star" Meritorious Medal, more than 170 academicians of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and academicians of the Chinese Academy of Engineering in 8 years, and has become a legendary school.
It is the Southwest United University, and the cultivation of these outstanding figures is inseparable from the heavy cultural heritage and spirit, and the cultural lessons learned by these outstanding figures are compiled in this course by master Feng Youlan and others will be collected into the "Southwest United University Cultural Class".
In the "Culture Lesson of Southwest United University", Feng Youlan, Tang Yongtong, Zhang Yinlin and others talked about the differences between Chinese culture and foreign cultures, and also talked about why China needs to take the initiative to learn and constantly absorb and accept foreign cultures in order to better disseminate excellent ideological culture.
Excellent culture is the root of talent
Speaking of the Southwest United Congress, we have to mention the achievements of Yang Zhenning, Deng Jiaxian, Xu Yuanchong, Wang Zengqi and other people that we can see for all to see, why can these people be so excellent? It actually has to do with the cultural education they received.
The school was known as the Southwest United University, but it only existed for eight years, and when it was first established, there were no classrooms, let alone dormitories and office buildings.
However, even in such a harsh environment, there are still many masters who have gathered the favor of many masters, such as Zhu Ziqing, Chen Yinge, Feng Youlan, etc., who have illuminated the way forward for those students with their rich spirit and free soul, as well as unique views and profound academic cultivation, and made contributions to the development of culture.
Xun Zi said: Classes are not contradictory, although the same reason has been the same for a long time.
This means that a class of things must be considered the same kind according to a certain principle, or that they have common characteristics. It can also be understood as individual things, with many categories and diversity.
It is precisely because different individuals carry forward and learn excellent culture, and many excellent talents have been produced, and these talents originate from excellent cultural inheritance.
It can also be understood that Southwest United University has a rich and profound cultural heritage, and in just eight years, a large number of outstanding talents have emerged.
Why China should learn and accept foreign cultures
In addition to China's long-standing culture, foreign culture is also worthy of our active learning and acceptance, which is not to exalt foreign charm, but to integrate Western culture and use it for our own use.
In the "Culture Class of Southwest United University", it is mentioned that Tang Yongtong said in "The Conflict and Reconciliation of Cultural Thought": Some people advocate using Chinese culture as the standard, and some people advocate total Westernization, which he believes is inappropriate.
Tang Yongtong believes that when foreign cultural ideas come into contact with the original culture, they should be discussed in two aspects:
On the one hand, should foreign cultures be accepted? This is a question of values, some people mention foreign culture, either think it is "poison" or blindly worship, this is not right, but we should learn from the excellent part of foreign culture, and abandon the part that is not suitable for us;
On the other hand, is it possible to accept foreign cultures? For China, it is necessary to consider the adaptability and usefulness of cultural transplantation.
Then we must pay attention to two elements: one is that foreign culture should be applied to local culture and adapt to the local cultural environment; the other is the introduction of foreign culture, and it is also necessary to adapt to local culture, the so-called survival of the fittest.
For example, Buddhism was originally introduced from India, but after great changes, it evolved into Chinese Buddhism, which was recognized by the Chinese people.
That is to say, when we absorb foreign cultures, we do not accept them in their entirety, but selectively accept them. Specifically, when we absorb foreign cultures, we actually go through conflict and reconciliation.
First, it is to see the same and reconcile the surface, that is, the things on the surface need to be consistent;
Second, conflict because of seeing differences. The reason why many things have conflicts is because the angle of viewing is different, and it is necessary to face it from multiple angles;
Finally, find the real situation to reconcile. This step is to integrate Chinese culture with foreign culture, so that it becomes the use of local culture.
In other words, when China absorbs foreign cultures, it has actually integrated foreign cultures into local cultures, which also means that foreign cultures have been assimilated by local cultures.
This is the characteristic of the cultural thinking of a country and a nation, which also requires that when Western culture comes to China, it must be changed and conform to the nature of another culture in order to have an effect.
The cultivation of outstanding talents is actually the inheritance of excellent culture
For Western culture, it is not about "morality" and "unification", but about understanding that foreign culture is a special culture, which has both advantages and disadvantages.
Excellent culture is the premise of cultivating outstanding talents, but also the attitude of a nation's life, but also the relationship between people and things, the relationship between people, and the relationship between people and nature.
The past of Chinese culture, from the beginning of the history of writing to Confucius, from Confucius to Zhuangzi, from Zhuangzi to Buddhism, and then from Buddhism to Western culture, these are accompanied by the increasing abundance of Chinese culture.
Derived from the agricultural system, this is the foundation of Chinese culture, so there are families, tribes, and later there are countries, and eventually developed into "self-cultivation, nourishment, governance, and peace in the world."
It can be said that both material civilization and spiritual civilization are inseparable from moral concepts, literature, philosophy and art. For example, literature, language, philosophy and art, which have national colors, are not empty talk, but a comprehensive revival from the inside out, from the mind to the soul.
From the perspective of changing thinking, it is to look at the different heights of the problem, in order to get different results, in order to have "magnificent righteousness", the so-called Tao and the Tao of Chaowen, that is, the understanding of life in the universe.
From the perspective of the inheritance of excellent culture, one is moral behavior, and Haoran Zhengqi must have enough understanding of cosmic life on the one hand, and on the other hand, moral obligations and responsibility.
As the saying goes, "self-reversal shrinks, although tens of millions of people are looking forward to it." When things come, it is not to see whether they are reasonable, if they are unreasonable, they will retreat, if they are reasonable, then although tens of millions of people are going to me, this is the courage.
If a person has the realm of the Tao and the realm of heaven, then this person must be excellent, and this excellent person is naturally nourished by excellent culture, which is the charm of Southwest United University and the charm of Southwest United University Culture Class.
This is the realm of life that Feng Youlan talked about, everyone has a different world, and culture brings everyone together tightly, just like the March of the Southwest United University: a thousand autumns and shames, and finally snow. ZTE, must be a master.
This is the charm of culture, and it is also the charm of the culture class of Southwest United University.
