Zhang Xuefeng's statement about the instrumentality of liberal arts is not inappropriate, and the statement of "licking" seems to be a bit excessive.
As far as subject classification is concerned, the liberal arts are the tools!
This is not Zhang Xuefeng's emerging invention, in the preface of some college and secondary school textbooks, it is directly marked that "xx learning is a tool of xx", but at the practical level, people in xx disciplines are unwilling to admit it.
What discipline is not a tool?
What discipline is not a tool for human beings to understand and transform nature?
The same is true for the liberal arts, and the same is true for the sciences.
The first thing that the liberal arts produced was language, which was a tool for human communication!
The origin of poetry and dance in Chinese literature is the song and dance that arise from excitement, and the song and dance that evolve from excitement.
and then evolved to elegant **, dance, and its purpose is still a tool for entertainment.
Literature, painting, and philosophy, which accompany the survival and development of human beings, are the tools for the sublimation of the human soul.
Political science, military science, and law have brought the instrumental role of the liberal arts to the top
Isn't it an instrumental role to pull out the human soul and expose it to the sun?
Science and engineering are not much to say, which one was not produced and invented because of the instrumental role?
However, the current division of arts and sciences does have something to rethink and study.
The liberal arts and sciences system of contemporary Chinese high school education was inherited from the Soviet Union's education system, and since the 50s of the last century, the entire socialist camp has basically followed this teaching system.
Throughout the world, most countries in the world are divided into subjects at the high school education level, such as the United Kingdom, France, Japan, South Korea, Singapore, Germany, etc.
Although the United States does not have a clear division of German subjects, the United States does not have a unified German college entrance examination system, students apply for college based on the comprehensive scores of high school, but some universities in addition to the comprehensive scores, their English, jurisprudence, history and other scores must reach the corresponding score range to be eligible to apply, (just like China's postgraduate entrance examination, the total score must be reached, and the score of a single English subject must be more than 45 points.) This forces some high school students to learn Xi knowledge of the major they want to study in the university they want to study, and divide the subjects in advance in disguise.
In fact, the division of liberal arts and sciences is not a tie-up in the heads of predecessors, but has historical reasons: 1. With the development of society and the progress of science, people need to master and understand too much knowledge;2. The two modes of thinking in the liberal arts and sciences separate some students' interest in Xi;3. The redundancy of some knowledge caused by the professional subdivision of colleges and universities;4. In the era of planned economy, students are assigned jobs by majors, and the singleness of work leads to the waste of non-professional subject knowledge.
Therefore, among the scientists in New China, there are very few interdisciplinary professional achievements.
Academician He Zuoxiu should be the only one, who spans the three disciplines of nuclear science, philosophy, and economics.
Economics, as a discipline, is not a clerical mistake of the author, but a misunderstanding of subject classification.
In the traditional classification, it is usually:
1. Philosophy includes four majors, including philosophy, logic, religion, and ethics, and philosophy is generally considered to be a pure liberal arts major.
Philosophy, Religion, Logic, Ethics, Aesthetics, Psychology, Modern Western Philosophy, Philosophy of Science and Technology, Sociology.
2. Economics includes four categories: economics, finance, finance, economics and **, with 17 majors.
Environment, Resources and Development Economics, Insurance, Finance, Engineering, Credit Management, Sports, Economics, International Culture**.
3. The category of law includes law (excluding forensic science).
4. Political science, including sociology, ethnicity and religion. and other six categories, with a total of 32 majors.
5. Pedagogy (including physical education).
6. Literature. (including Chinese Chinese Chinese literature, foreign Chinese literature, journalism and communication).
8. History. (including history, archaeology, and cultural relics protection technology).
9. Art categories include fine arts, design, drama, film and television, etc.
10. Painting (including Chinese painting, oil painting, art history, photography).
11. **Broadcast choreographer and photographer.
The traditional classification of Polytechnic is:
1. Engineering, 2, Mathematics, Geography, 4, Marine Science, 5, Physics, 6, Electronic Information Science, 7, Psychology, 8, Computer Information Science, 9, Atmospheric Science, 10, Environmental Science, 11, Transportation (including Traffic Engineering, Oil and Gas Storage and Transportation Engineering, Flight Technology, Navigation Technology, Marine Engineering, etc.), 12, Communication Engineering, 13, Water Conservancy, 14, Machinery, 15, Statistics, 16, Agriculture (Agricultural Machinery, Chemical Fertilizer, Seeds, Cultivation and Horticulture).
In these traditional classifications, some majors are very embarrassing, which also leads to contradictions in the classification and cognition of liberal arts students and science students.
The first is to classify economics as a liberal arts class, and statistics as a science and engineering class, which is a serious misunderstanding, and it is also a serious misunderstanding of economists in recent years (except for a very small number of statistics majors with statistical achievements called statisticians, others basically only dare to call economists), economics and statistics, in college, there are two courses that are compulsory, one is advanced mathematics, and the other is mathematical statistics, and in terms of actual academic Xi application, economics covers a very wide range of content, covering economics, finance, insurance, finance and taxation, and financial accounting. There are both theoretical and operational levels, and statistics is just a tool or a professional subject for economic management majors, which should be merged with economics and become a separate discipline category alongside arts and sciences.
The second is to juxtapose art students and liberal arts students, and liberal arts students are not convinced.
The cultural score of art students in the college entrance examination is usually less than half of that of liberal arts students.
Third, the classification of cross-study courses is too reluctant, and it is biased to distinguish between liberal arts students and science students and judge their role and value in society accordingly.
For example, archaeology, psychology, and sports are not something that can be labeled on a person's face by a student, just like Mr. Xiang Ligang bombarded a psychologist a few days ago that he is not qualified to talk about artificial intelligence technology, and immediately some netizens broke out that he is a professional member of artificial intelligence in psychology in the United States, so it's not embarrassing!
There are also universities, the College of Humanities and Environmental Resources, it is really difficult to judge that he is a science student studying liberal artsOr a liberal arts student studying science?
Fourth, some emerging disciplines and marginal courses are forced into liberal arts, which are a bit nondescript, such as marketing, logistics, etc.
With the rapid development of science and technology, it is basically impossible for a person to wander between the liberal arts and sciences and become an all-round warrior in civil and military affairs.
In recent years, due to the development of science and technology, some applied technologies have been widely used in liberal arts, and network technology has made what liberal arts students have learned in half of their lives in the hands of science students.
And the liberal arts students reverse the science students, and they almost have to be reincarnated.
These are the objective realities that the liberal arts face.
Subjectively, the liberal arts have not kept up with the pace of the times, not only have they not played a leading role in the exploration and progress of social development, but some disciplines have even become declining, some have degenerated, and some have even become serious nonsense bastards. Do typical:
One is the decline of literature.
There is a lack of inspiring and inspiring works in the context of the big era. Poems such as, urine, and fart actually appeared in the "Poetry Magazine" and other elegant halls;"Sleeping with You Through Half of China" is widely sought after, and people really sigh a little: China's modern poetry is dead!
The most direct reason is that there is no literary screenwriter with style, and there is a lack of film and literary scripts that can be lifted on the table, and they are pieced together behind closed doors.
The second is the degeneration of historiography. Historical nihilism, historical pragmatism. A large number of historians use the current political map and political consciousness to interpret history in a distorted way
Yue Fei fought a civil war;
Hong Chengchou is a hero of national unity;
The Germans built the German colony of Qingdao to help the Chinese carry out construction
Nanjing Da** does not exist;
The responsibility of Nanjing Da** is in China;
The concession of Shanghai. And so on, all of these lofty theories come from the mouths of the so-called famous history professors.

The third is the bastard of economics.
Reform and opening up, the implementation of the socialist market economy, the original political economy theory under the conditions of the planned economy, has not adapted to the form of China's reform and opening up, such as a certain economist surnamed Zhang to copy the United States' neoliberalism, advocating the United States' set of market economy theory, small society, big society, intervention will distort the distribution of social resources, to comprehensive market-oriented reform, reduce the intervention of the economy, and promote economic liberalization. Private property rights are the foundation of the market economy, and only private property rights can guarantee the freedom and efficiency of the market.
When China's market economy planning was walking, when faced with the great achievements of the Communist Party of China in leading the people's reform and opening up in the past 40 years, he jumped out and said:
China's high growth in the past 40 years has come from marketization, entrepreneurship and the 300 years of technological accumulation in the West"The Chinese model".
In the face of the great achievements of China's market economy over the past 40 years, those who advocate a market economy deny that China is not a market economy.
I don't know if he is the face of his country or a slap in the face of himself?
I don't know what kind of market economy I want?
If you have to guess?Perhaps as a self-proclaimed elite, the market economy he recognizes should be the market economy controlled by him himself
The bastards of economists are also manifested in the overflow.
There are so many self-proclaimed, self-proclaimed, and self-appointed economists. Nine dragons control the water, each showing its magical powers. What is the actual economics, digital economics, bathhouse economics, I want to laugh when I look at the name, and I want to hang up the three words of economics?
But they don't care about this at all, a serious nonsense. Such as:
1. It is recommended that the poor who have no money can put the extra house by remembering their names. Rent it out and use a private car to go out and run Didi to increase family income.
2. It is recommended that rural people go to the city to buy a house and drive home to farm.
3. It is recommended that young people can get married and have children if they can't find a job for the time being.
4. If you feel that the housing price is high, you should first reflect on whether there is a problem with your income.
5. It is recommended to lower the legal age of marriage to 18 years old.
These are all said by economists with famous economists on the door of their heads, and they are well documented.
Zhang Xuefeng said "licking", maybe it has something to do with the decline, depravity and bastards of these liberal arts students, right?
