At the end of the Qing Dynasty, there was a very influential Enlightenment thinker, he was one of the advanced Chinese people in China's modern history who searched for truth from the West, he broke through the traditional knowledge system and cognition, was famous for his profound academic attainments, and established his own Enlightenment ideological system, he was Yan Fu. Today, let's enjoy Yan Fu's eight aphorisms together, deeply understand his thoughts, and feel the advancedness of his thoughts.
Due to the change of the times, many intellectuals have emerged in our country, who have changed their thinking, from Lin Zexu and Wei Yuan's "Shiyi's Long Skills to Control Yi" to "Shi Yi's Long Skills to Strengthen Themselves" put forward by the "Foreign Affairs Movement", and they hope to use the science and technology of Western powers to safeguard the transformation of the Chinese nation. In this special period, as the leader of the "Western Learning from the East" movement, Yan Fu's political ideology had a tremendous impact on our country.
The times have produced the emergence of a group of thinkers, and Yan Fu is one of them. Looking back on Yan Fu's life, he showed a "keen" mind after he was forty-three years old. Until his death, in the 26 years, China is a period of ups and downs, the movement is continuous, the Chinese and Western cultures are arguing endlessly, and the social transformation is not smooth, in this context, Yan Fu used extraordinary thinking to insight into society, so that he suddenly stepped onto the historical stage and became one of the most active figures at that time, and one of the most influential figures.
Of course, his ideas did not happen overnight, but after continuous learning and reflection, he became one of the people who "opened his eyes to the world", put forward his own views and propositions, and became one of the most influential people at that time. Therefore, from the perspective of China's modern and contemporary history, Yan Fu's influence is not only enormous, but also leads the People of China to look forward and reject decay, and people evaluate him as "an Enlightened thinker who shocks deafness and feedback".
Because of Yan Fu's personal experience, he read a large number of Western masterpieces in his lifetime, had a deep understanding of Western civilization and culture, and directly accepted and understood the theoretical knowledge of British social phenomena and humanities and social sciences. According to records, in the first half of his life, he often used English to talk with foreigners, talk about ideas, talk about civilization, inquire about science and technology, etc., and later went to England to study, which made him deeply understand, which became the resources of his later thinking.
Yan Fu's ideas and ideas are all condensed in the "Heavenly Speech", he adheres to freedom and democracy, adheres to the transformation of national nature, and advocates the rule of law in modern China. His thinking was put forward in the midst of great changes in the national conditions and the world situation, and had obvious characteristics of the times, leading the Chinese people to wake up at that time, playing a positive role in promoting, and at the same time playing a positive historical role in the Chinese nation's march toward prosperity and strength.
The complex social foundation, personal education experience, coupled with extraordinary talent, make him a great thinker who integrates China and the West, and integrates ancient and modern. He attacked the eight-strand system, believing that it was divorced from reality, that the old learning was a scourge, and hoped to find the crux of social problems from modern science, and eliminate them one by one, and over time established his own ideological system.
The emergence of Yan Fu is an inevitable product of history and a "hero" created by the times. He died on 27 October 1921 at the age of 67. Today, let's enjoy Yan Fu's most classic eight aphorisms and experience the ideological realm behind the words.
