I always thought I was objective, but I blushed because of Gu's "not here" style of commenting on Chinese culture. There are many things when China and the West meet. There are two kinds of reading before: one is that foreign scholars today look at the past Chinese stories from the perspective of research, which is full of compassion for ancient China at best; the other is that today's domestic scholars look at the past Chinese stories from the perspective of reflection, which is full of Chinese logic that I believe they do not understand. Compared with the former, Gu wrote this book with full pride; compared with the latter, Gu wrote it with feeling and time. Although this book has been linked for nearly a hundred years, it is not old at all, because the author is thinking about the prospects for the development of world culture to open his mind in the depth of his mind. Gu Hongming grew up in the essence of human culture. The European culture in the pre-modern era and the Chinese classics in the contentious period can discover the common concern of the great philosophers for the world.

  What is the real purpose of cultural development? So many people have said, pay attention to people. But how many people did it? Dawn came, but the darkness had not passed. In China over the past 100 years, there are still many things that have not really been done. Why do we have to condemn and abuse each other, as well as meaningless competition to consume life? Do something that you can accumulate, even if it is very little.

  Gu Hongming is by no means a self-made man, even though he has braids.
