In the French Sinology community at the beginning of the 20th century, Marcel Granet was undoubtedly a bright star. He interprets Chinese culture with outstanding talent, profound knowledge and unique perspectives, allowing the world to appreciate the cultural charm of ancient Eastern countries. It is reported that Gülenyan was born in France in 1872, and his strong interest in oriental culture led him to embark on a journey of exploration of Sinology. Unlike most Westerners of that era, he was not prejudiced or unfamiliar with Chinese civilization, but was full of infinite curiosity and yearning.
When he was young, Gülenyan went to Germany to study and began to learn Sinology. He studied ancient Chinese classics in depth and translated many classics such as the Book of Changes, the Book of Songs, and the Zuo Chuan, opening a window for the Western world to understand Chinese culture. On the basis of accurately conveying the essence of the original work, Gülen's translations are also highly readable, giving Western readers a glimpse into the profound heritage of Chinese culture.
In addition to his outstanding achievements in the academic field, Gülenyan's charisma and open-mindedness have also won people's respect. He has visited China many times, covering the land of China, gaining an in-depth understanding of the local customs and exploring the cultural context. In addition, Gülenyan has made great contributions to the promotion of Sino-French friendship and cultural exchanges through academic exchanges with Chinese scholars. Later generations commented that Gülenyan's life was a life full of pursuit, and his outstanding achievements not only made the French sinology community proud, but also provided the world with an important way to understand Chinese civilization, and effectively helped Chinese culture to the world.
Living in the present, when we read Gülenyan's works from the perspective of a later generation, we can still feel his love and admiration for Chinese culture. Perhaps, it is this perseverance and perseverance that has made Gülenyan a bright star in the history of French Sinology, forever shining on the unknown path explored by later scholars. If we evaluate his contributions, it is naturally not limited to the in-depth excavation and dissemination of Chinese culture, but also because he broke the barriers and misunderstandings between Eastern and Western cultures with an open mind and a broad vision.
To sum up, Gülenyan, a giant in the field of French sinology, has demonstrated the charm of Chinese culture to the world with his outstanding talent, profound knowledge and unique perspective. Nowadays, the process of globalization in the world is intensifying, and world civilizations are intermingling with each other while maintaining exchanges, and the spirit of Gülen Yan has taken on more significance in the context of today's times. As modern people, we should inherit and carry forward his open-mindedness and spirit of exploration, face different cultures with an understanding and tolerant attitude, and jointly promote the prosperity and development of the world's cultural diversity.
