Changsha Evening News, Changsha, December 21 According to China News, the academic seminar on "Chinese Wisdom in the Eyes of Mr. Lou Lie" was held at Beijing Normal University a few days ago. More than 30 experts and scholars from various universities and fields gathered together to discuss the new work "Chinese Wisdom" by the famous philosopher and scholar Mr. Lou Lie (published by China Encyclopedia Publishing House in 2023) and Mr. Lou Lie's academic thoughts and educational concepts.
Professor Xiang Yunju, Executive Director of the Institute of International Communication of Chinese Culture, read out a speech on behalf of Professor Huang Huilin, Dean of the Institute. He said that as an accomplished scholar, Mr. Lou Lie has integrated the essence of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism for decades, explored the humanistic spirit of traditional Chinese culture, and set an important example for the inheritance of traditional culture and its current development in the world.
As the initiator and organizer of the conference, Berggruen Chair Professor of Peking University, An Lezer, said that Mr. Lou Lie's works cover and draw on Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism in depth and detail, and include reflections on the practical application of these cultural resources, which not only demonstrates the breadth and profundity of Chinese wisdom, but also demonstrates his profound thinking and firm belief.
Li Silong, a professor at the Department of Philosophy and deputy director of the Department of Humanities at Peking University, believes that Mr. Lou's "humanities" is the foundation and characteristic of Chinese culture, and its connotation is similar to what the ancients called "Siwen", but it is no longer limited to Confucianism.
Zeng Hui, director of the Social Science Academic Branch of the Encyclopedia of China Publishing House, believes that "Chinese Wisdom" actually answers the question of what is "Chinese philosophy" and has three characteristics: (1) The book clarifies that the essence of Chinese philosophy is wisdom, and its characteristics are determined by the Chinese's way of thinking of "overall relevance, dynamic balance, and natural rationality";(2) Answering the core propositions of Chinese culture such as cultural subjectivity and modernization;(3) The book is logically clear, well-versed and understandable, and has the characteristics of academic popularity, which can enlighten ordinary people with wisdom.
Lou Lie responded to the views of the seminar. He said that Chinese culture is broad and profound, no matter which part of it is understood, as long as it is implemented in life and enriches one's own life, it is good, and the current society also needs Chinese traditional culture as a supplement.
The Wisdom of China embodies the brainchild of the famous scholar Lou Lie, who has been teaching and educating people at Peking University for more than half a century, and for the first time shows his experience in studying Chinese culture in a more complete way. Starting from the comparison of Chinese and Western cultures, the wisdom of Chinese culture, the values of Chinese, Chinese culture, world sharing, etc., Lou Lie outlines the overall appearance and core essence of Chinese traditional culture, such as the humanistic spirit of people-oriented, the wisdom of Confucianism and Taoism, the intuitive wisdom of Chinese medicine, the art world of Chinese, the life and life of traditional Chinese culture, etc., vividly interpreting the mellow and neutral Chinese cultural atmosphere.
