He was called "Southern Rao Northern Qian" together with Qian Zhongshu and "Southern Rao Northern Season" with Ji Xianlin. He has learned from the past to the present, learned things through things, and in the world of learning, he has achieved fruitful results. He is the famous Guoxue taidou Rao Zongyi.
Someone said, "He has three hearts, the first is called curiosity, the second is called the child's heart, the third is called the free heart, and one is higher than the other." Holding these three hearts, Jao Zongyi clings to the quest for wisdom and is not burdened by attachment.
For the name Of Jao Zongyi, I believe that many people are not unfamiliar, especially under those dazzling titles, there seems to be a well-known meaning, and under the fame, what does Jao Zongyi mean to Chinese culture?
As a well-known contemporary historian, archaeologist, writer, scribe, translator, educator and calligrapher, he is familiar with english, French, Japanese, German and other Chinese scripts, and is also proficient in Sanskrit, Babylonian ancient cuneiform and other "heavenly books". His academic research involves various fields of literature, history, philosophy and art, and his achievements in poetry, books, paintings and music are also extremely advanced, and he has studied both Chinese and Western.
Mr. Rao Zongyi's academic masterpiece "Orthodoxy in Chinese Historiography", which is a 500-page book, sorts out the core issue of "orthodoxy", which is actually derived from Ramology, with an unprecedented volume and system, and is still a must-read masterpiece for researchers of Chinese political history and intellectual history. Mr. Zhu Weizheng commented on the book: "As far as little is concerned, the monographs on the history of historical concepts in recent decades in China are rare, and the monographs on the topic of orthodoxy for comprehensive and systematic investigation have not been found. What I have seen and recognized by my peers is the author of this part, Mr. Rao. ”
Qian Zhongshu said that he was a "prodigy of the world", Ji Xianlin said that "the master in his mind is Jao Zongyi", Jin Yong said that "with Rao Zongyi, Hong Kong is not a cultural desert", foreign countries praised him as "Dongzhou Hongru", "Sinology Taidou", "Oriental Da Vinci", and domestically called him "Master of Traditional Chinese Studies".
For all kinds of aura, the ninety-year-old Rao smiled indifferently, "Oh, master? I am a big pig (in the Chaoshan dialect, 'master' and 'big pig' are consonant). Now the 'master' top hat is flying all over the place, too much. In fact, the master originally called the monk, and I didn't dare to be. ”
Mr. Jao Zongyi was interviewed by "Confucian Everyone" at the University of Hong Kong (December 2000)
White hair, white eyebrows, clean face, but as interesting as an old naughty boy. No matter what kind of occasion he is in, when it comes to emotional places, he always has his eyebrows outstretched, and his laughter is lyrical and meaningful, "I don't bring apprentices, why should I make people work hard?" It is enough to torture myself myself, I don't want others to work hard, and it is really hard to do learning. ”
Despite his hard work, he still insisted on doing learning, and he did it for more than eighty years. Rao Zongyi's life, in his own words, was "with divine power to help." Since childhood, Jao Zongyi has been known as a "prodigy", although the family is the richest man in the local area, but his father has always been obsessed with the pursuit of learning, which also influenced Jao Zongyi to later embark on the way of learning.
"My family used to have four money houses, and I was the richest man in Chaozhou, so it seemed that I could create a plaything and lose my mind, but my fate was destined to do learning, and I finally became a scholar." I was very lonely as a child, my mother died of illness when I was two years old, and my father lived in a dull life, but he had a great influence on me. I have five foundations from home studies, one is that my family has trained me to write poetry, fill in words, and write poems and essays; second, to write calligraphy and painting; third, to bibliography; fourth, Confucianism, Interpretation, and Tao; and fifth, the Qianjia School's methods of governance. ”
Rao Zongyi said that home learning is a convenient way to do learning. To become a scholar, "enlightenment" is very important, to let children have a wide world in their hearts, let them be full of fantasies, create their own world, and pay attention to guiding them to take fewer detours.
"Learning is a major cultural matter, learning from the wisdom of the ancients." Rao Zongyi immersed himself in his father's hundreds of thousands of books in the ocean of books "Tianxiao Lou", accompanied by books every day, and coupled with poetry, at the age of 16, he inherited his father's legacy and continued to edit his father Rao's "Chaozhou Art and Literature", which became his first step into the academic community.
Regarding the philosophy of life, Rao Zongyi once proposed the "Settling Theory". He believes that "how a person in the world properly settles himself is very important." To this end, we should do three things well: one is "heaven and man benefit each other"; the second is "things and not things"; and the third is "compassion and joy".
There is a tourist attraction on Lantau Island in Hong Kong, where 38 giant trees are engraved with the full text of Dou Da's Heart Sutra. This is the world's largest outdoor woodcut heart sutra Jianlin, created by Jao Zongyi in 2002, he said, to open up wisdom for Hong Kong.

Rao Zongyi's handwritten "Heart Sutra" on Lantau Island
"The obstacle in the absence of obstacles refers to obstacles created by oneself. Today's people are too trapped in materialism, but they actually made it themselves. ”
Jao Zongyi once wrote a well-known poem, "Eternal without grinding, flowing freely" to show his attitude and pursuit of life. "I play the guqin. Once, my students and I were playing the piano at sea and composing two poems. Immortality is immortality that Chinese talks about, and Chinese talk about three immortals, that is, morality, meritorious service, and speech. ”
This freedom is the buddhist word. When I wrote a brief introduction to the Heart Sutra, the first sentence was "Contemplating oneself as a bodhisattva," which is like Guanyin. The middle stream, in the middle of the water, indicates that there is concentration, wisdom, patience, and the six paramitas (i.e., generosity, taking vows, forbearance, perseverance, meditation, wisdom, buddhism believes that the supreme dharma for the practitioner to reach the other shore) is to maintain a free mind, a state. ”
In front of the Jao Tsung-yi Academic Hall of the University of Hong Kong stands four big characters "Compassion and Joy House", which also contains a piece of his compassion for the human world.

"I'm pessimistic about the future of humanity. Human beings themselves create all kinds of hatred, create terror, pursue all kinds of things, become material prisoners, plunder the resources of the earth is not enough, but also go to Mars, and finally destroy themselves, human beings may have to return to the Jurassic, back to the age of dinosaurs. Globalization also means energy consumption, environmental degradation, and nature is punishing the consequences of human destruction. ”
Ji Xianlin once advocated "the unity of heaven and man", and Rao Zongyi went further and put forward a new concept of "mutual benefit between heaven and man": "All undertakings should start from and end from the principle of benefiting people rather than harming others." ”
"When I mention the mutual benefit of heaven and man, I take the benefit of the I Ching as the theoretical basis. If we want to make a big show, we should not just talk about it, but we should carry out great deeds, and perhaps we can reach the realm of "heaven and man fighting for retention" as Su Shi said.
We must learn wisdom from the culture of the ancients, do not harm each other, but create an environment of "mutual benefit between heaven and man", and work hard in the direction of "mutual benefit between heaven and man" is the right way in the world. ”
When it comes to promoting Chinese culture, Rao Gong once gave us a few words in an interview with "Confucian Style Everyone": "Seek truth, seek truth, and seek righteousness." In particular, he said, it was necessary to be "positive." "Righteousness" means not to bend over backwards, but to carry forward righteousness, uphold integrity, and uphold justice. Unrighteous people may have their own unique ideas, but a person, only by seeking "righteousness", can he always stand in the world. Chinese since ancient times, he is the most righteous, and after Wen Tianxiang was caught by the Mongols, he was indomitable and firmly believed that there was righteousness between heaven and earth, and it was more respectable to be sad and weeping. The I Ching itself is also about "righteousness", and The Buddhists also emphasize "righteousness".
Rao Gong inscription: Seeking truth and seeking truth
"Dr. Toynbee of the United Kingdom once said that the only thing that saves mankind in the 21st century is Chinese Confucianism and Mahayana Buddhism, and I agree with him." Rao Gong said, "As an Englishman, Toynbee speaks in this way, which is fairer and more just. Our Chinese Confucianism, especially with its spirit of tolerance, can take the initiative to absorb the excellent achievements of different civilizations. ”
Rao Zongyi published the article "Maritime Silk Road" in 1974 and was the first scholar to propose the "Maritime Silk Road". He said that China is a very "strange" country, which has been constantly accepting foreign cultures since ancient times. In the western region to the northwest, there is a "Silk Road", which is a bridge and link for cultural exchanges between China and foreign countries. At sea, there is also a "Silk Road", that is, the "Maritime Silk Road". In terms of time, the "Silk Road" on the sea may be earlier. "When I say this, we are all speaking from the perspective of examination evidence, and we pay attention to the evidence and advocate letting the facts speak."
