According to the surging news on April 20, a number of students of the School of History and Culture of Central China Normal University reported to the surging news on the 19th that the school held a lecture on Sinology on the afternoon of the 18th, and the invited speaker An Deyi talked a lot about pseudo-Sinology such as "female morality", such as the appearance of remarks such as "women who love to complain about the three generations of bad" and other remarks, which are uncomfortable and cause many students to "fiercely discuss" on social platforms.
The relevant staff of the Propaganda Department of the Party Committee of Central China Normal University responded to this on the afternoon of the 19th, and the relevant departments are verifying the relevant matters, and the specific situation needs to be further understood. The next day, the official website of the university's undergraduate school announced that the college hosted the 196th liberal arts lecture on the 18th, entitled "traditional culture and personality cultivation", "considering Mr. An Deyi's experience in the popularization of traditional chinese culture education, invited him to give a lecture", "fulfilled the normal lecture management procedures"; the undergraduate school will continue to improve its work and further standardize the lecture management.

The circular did not mention the controversy caused by the content of the lecture among the students.
In the speech of the "Expert of Traditional Chinese Studies", "the woman who loves to complain is bad for three generations"
Tang Yi (pseudonym), a 2017 undergraduate student of the Central China Normal College of History and Culture, told the surging news that the lecture belonged to the series of activities of the "Liberal Arts Lecture Hall" of Central China Normal University, but the school has not announced the lecture speaker and theme on the official website in advance according to the previous process, and the counselor has repeatedly emphasized this matter since the announcement of the lecture on April 13, "Students who cannot provide proof of course time conflict must participate."
Screenshots of the chat obtained by the surging news show that a teacher posted a notice in the group saying that the relevant leaders "invited a Chinese studies expert to give a lecture at the Chinese Teacher", hoping that the School of History would undertake and "require the organization of about 100 students to participate"; because other grade students have classes, they are participated by the 2017 class, and if there is a self-selected course that cannot be visited, they need to "turn in the class schedule" certificate.
At 4 p.m. on April 18, the lecture officially began. Photos at the scene show that there was a banner at the venue with the words "Warmly welcome Professor Andeyi as a guest of the Boya Lecture Hall"; some students said that the theme of Andeyi's speech was "Traditional Culture and Personality Cultivation", and the outline of the speech was divided into six aspects, including "reading some classics, a little love, less resentment, more reflection, learning a little respect, and taking responsibility".
"[On the spot] listening to him (Andeyi) talk a few words, and there is no good feeling." Hu Qi (pseudonym), a student who participated in the lecture, told The Paper.
According to him, when Talking about "Good People Don't Complain -- Cultivation," Andeyi quoted the contents of Wang Fengyi's Records of Words and Deeds, such as "Good people do not complain about others, and complaining about people are evil people; wise people who are not angry and angry are fools; rich people do not take advantage of the advantage, and taking advantage of the poor is the poor; noble people do not play with temper, and temper play is a slut."
Hu Qi said that Wang Fengyi had openly defected to the Japanese puppet regime after the "918" incident, and many of the students of the History and Culture College present were "quite critical" about Andeyi's quotation of the above-mentioned "quotations." Another student, Bingwen (pseudonym), said that Ande-yi's claim in the lecture that "no one will talk about freedom and democracy in enterprises" and other content is contrary to the students' professional knowledge and values.
The Ministry of Education issued the Notice on Several Provisions Prohibiting the Obstruction of the Implementation of Compulsory Education issued on April 2, which clearly stipulates: "It is forbidden to teach 'three from four virtues' in the name of 'Chinese studies'. However, a number of interviewed students told the surging news that in the above lectures, "the greatest virtue of a woman is gentleness", "gentle women prosper for three generations, women who love to complain will be bad for three generations", "all the problems in a woman's whole body, all the problems of organs are because of resentment", "it is better to nourish the face than to nourish the body, it is better to nourish the body than to nourish the heart, and resentment is the source of all diseases" and other remarks appeared in Andeyi's speech.

The school responded: The normal lecture management procedures were fulfilled
Some students said that during the speech, Andeyi also repeatedly asked students to read the slide content, "everyone is very impatient and angry", feeling that as a student of the School of History and Culture, "insulted". "Most of the students think that what he is talking about is not Guoxue at all, but that he is distorting Guoxue and harming real researchers." Bingwen told The Paper.
The live video provided by Tang Yi to the surging news showed that during the interactive session, some students questioned that many of the content in Andeyi's lecture was "bad", believing that the school "must also have the ability to distinguish when inviting people to give lectures". Some students also expressed their support on the spot, saying, "I used to think that it (Sinology) was relatively ignorant and backward, but in fact, everyone may really have to put aside their prejudices, Sinology is not as we think (ignorance), there are still many things worth learning, and I agree with what Teacher An Deyi said today."
After the lecture, many students discussed the matter on QQ space, Zhihu and other platforms, questioning the qualifications, academic ability and ability of the main speaker, Andeyi, as well as the ability to manage the lectures. On April 19, the School of History and Culture of Central China Normal University held an explanatory meeting on this matter, and students volunteered to participate. A student who participated in the briefing said that a teacher from the Academic Affairs Office said that "academics are to be debated by a hundred schools of thought."
On the afternoon of April 19, a teacher from the Propaganda Department of the Party Committee of Central China Normal University responded to the surging news that the relevant departments are verifying the relevant matters, and the specific situation needs to be further understood. The next day, the official website of the university's undergraduate school announced that on the afternoon of April 18, the undergraduate school hosted the 196th liberal arts lecture, entitled "Traditional Culture and Personality Cultivation", "The undergraduate school considered Mr. An Deyi's experience in the popularization of traditional Chinese culture and invited him to give a lecture."
"This lecture fulfills the normal lecture management procedures." According to the above-mentioned circular, the School of History and Culture undertook and organized some students to participate, and invited relevant professional teachers to participate. President Zhao Lingyun did not invite the keynote speakers, nor did he put forward any work requirements for the organization of the lecture. "The Undergraduate School will continue to improve its work and further standardize the management of lectures."
In response to the above circular, some students believe that the school did not respond positively to the qualifications and academic ability of the keynote speaker Andeyi.
The speaker claimed to have "used traditional Chinese studies to help people quit Internet addiction"
Who is the controversial Andree? The surging news search found that the WeChat public account of Wuhan Lixinguan Cultural Communication Co., Ltd., of which Andeyi served as the "general counsel", introduced him as "linguistic expert, Confucian expert, education expert, industrialist", who had taught in colleges and universities for 15 years, wrote a lot of works, and was "the first person in China to apply traditional culture to modern management".
According to the information of "Tianyancha", Wuhan Lixinguan Cultural Communication Co., Ltd. was established on December 30, 2014, as an education and training institution for traditional Chinese studies in central China. "The lecturers trained by Wuhan Lixin Hall have distinct characteristics and are well received by the society. They went deep into the Yuandian, drew the wisdom of the ancients from the classics, combined with modern life, and guided the audience to improve personality cultivation, improve interpersonal relations, pay attention to family education, and improve the level of career management. The company mentioned in the official WeChat that its lecturers are assigned to various forums such as kindergartens, primary and secondary schools, and colleges and universities.
In addition, An Deyi founded the "Deyitang Comprehensive Education Institution for Chinese Studies", which is a comprehensive education school based on classical chinese studies education, supplemented by the cultivation of the six arts and the cultivation of moral education. "Mr. Anderson is indeed the principal and teaching advisor of our institution. Yesterday's lecture at Central China Normal University was given by the school to contact us and let the teachers come and speak. A staff member of the agency told The Paper on the afternoon of April 19 that he was not at the lecture site and "did not know much about the controversy caused by Andeyi's related remarks."
For the surging news's request to interview Andeyi himself, the staff refused with the idea that "Teacher An is too busy".
The Paper found through a search for public reports that from 2015 to 2018, Andeyi gave lectures in many universities such as Hubei University, Wuhan Textile University, wuhan polytechnic University, etc., and the lectures were mostly the combination of traditional culture and modern society and personality cultivation. In addition, according to the official website of the School of Management of Zhejiang University, in June this year, Andeyi will participate in the advanced seminar course of the traditional Chinese culture and wisdom classic course of the institute as a core teacher.
These reports show that Ande often goes to primary and secondary schools and colleges to give speeches as the "vice president of the Confucius Academic Research Association of Hubei Province". For example, when the official website of Hubei University reported in November 2018 that When Andeyi went to the university to give a lecture on "Personality Cultivation of College Students", he was introduced as an adjunct professor of the university, the vice president of the Confucius Academic Research Association of Hubei Province, and the chairman of Wuhan Confucian Culture Communication Co., Ltd. However, according to the Yangtze River Daily, the Confucius Academic Research Association of Hubei Province was established in May 2002, revoked on July 6, 2016, and included in the fourth batch of suspected illegal social organizations in Hubei Province by the Hubei Provincial Department of Civil Affairs on January 15, 2019.
On April 19, Xiong Qinghong, the legal representative and chairman of Wuhan Confucian Culture Communication Co., Ltd., told the surging news that An Deyi is no longer a member of the company, and the remarks made have nothing to do with the company, "As can be seen from the public industrial and commercial information network, since 2009, he (An Deyi) is no longer a company legal person, and now has nothing to do with our company, his remarks are his personal behavior, if his introduction involves our company, it is a violation of our company's rights, and we will negotiate with him." ”
The Paper noted that as early as 2008, the Wuhan Morning Post also reported on Andeyi. At that time, he was rated as "Top Ten Super Dads and Super Moms" by the "Search for Super Dads and Super Moms" campaign launched by Wuhan Morning News and Sina Education Channel. According to the above reports, Andeyi once used the classics of Traditional Chinese Studies to help children in adolescence quit internet addiction.
