REVIEW:
for the majority of teachers, the school is constantly updating their knowledge and broaden their horizons, cultivate character, the best way to improve operational capabilities, North people to be written, reading should be a good way to learn. This will be very carefully painted a picture book in the Yan Yuan. of the introduction of some of the major scholars of the school experience of their predecessors, which interspersed the North as well as senior scholars to study when the person concerned anecdotes, natural kind, wonders abound. At the end, the authors recommend a reading list, that will make you benefit.
Students, Good evening! first introduce myself, I Early last name, first name Xiaobo, Institute of International Relations at Peking University to teach. I think for today's students have started going to school friends, there are many same age with my classmates and teachers. before I came in, some students may like, today we talk about the traditional school of Beijing University, it should be a Hefatongyan old gentleman. I would have thought so, so before they come a bit nervous. But when the student's classmates to find me, I agreed to down. that there are two reasons, one of my big old than you, to Beijing University a few years earlier, and more years old man who heard the lecture, read a few years more than a slight bit superficial understanding. Today, I old man who took from the experience and get some enlightenment to repeat to you, many parrot escaped. Of course, if it is a parrot, the parrot that was wrong was the responsibility of the owner; today is not the case, it is wrong to place all by myself responsible. The second reason is that school regardless of age. I and everyone else, really, really like reading, like books. may I have right now than the old man's type of book, textbook approach more clearly. So the case of lack of experience, want to be able to make up for what useful content.
talk tonight entitled On the books, the second is about reading, reading books about the third, fourth, apart from reading about. Peking University has an excellent tradition of reading, the following will give you the example, most of the teachings and deeds of Mr. predecessors, is left to Our valuable experience. Of course I also hope that book channels. book position in people's minds may be personal, difficult to use a word or two words clearly. we first look at how the view of the previous books. One is Professor Gu Jiegang, the old President to write a preface is more than a hundred pages, the level is very high. more than ten years ago when I heard the story was set swan ambitions, hoping to finish Gu Jiegang book, that it has not achieved their goals. now university graduates looking for work is generally concerned with advancement opportunities, how much money there is no training opportunities abroad and so on. then Gu received the southern invited him to teach in Fudan University, the first sentence If you give me is how the arrangements of the house. Fudan University professor will be able to tell him that the general points of a house. Mr Ku said that you can pay would give me a few suites it? people laughed and said you are a well-known scholar enough for you two it. Gary said, my book has more than 60,000 volumes, if give me a house, fit in my book. so good, can you give me three houses put what I do, so I die All books are the property after you. This is the disciple of Gary mentioned in his memoirs. we think about an old man before looking for work are not considered salaries, the future of promotion, considering that there is no place to put books This is the real people who like the book to the cause as the most important person. Later, Fudan University, hesitated, and then to please the Ku Chinese Academy of Sciences, said: Professor, Kyoto University, he was brilliant, an ordinary young reporter, often to China to travel to China is very emotional. was president of Kyoto University Come put such a small university press, causing many rumors. The fact prove that Mr. Naito, Kyoto University School of representative figures of China, is a world-class scholar. Of course, his success is due to several Chinese people for their help. One is Mr. Luo Zhenyu, Wang Guowei, a is. Naito books, Mr North ways and now we are not the same students to buy books, bookstores do not have time to run every day, push lightly used book stalls, he ordered to the old bookstore. the old bookstore manager who is very cunning, and if the book just to give you a man , it would not sell a good price, he engaged in related professional, you may need this book, many scholars have sent a bibliography. Mr. Naito received the most intense is the bibliography of the morning when, for fear to get book list were late. because if late delivery of books, the first given to Joe Smith, John Doe and other scholars, so you get the run of books to the bookstore, the people had arrived, and the habit of the old bookstore was first to the first pick . So, Mr. Naito said, I love life, hate people who are old bookstore owner. Whenever someone did not get to grab a good book, he always displayed proudly in his hand. next to the late of people have complained that letting Naito robbed before. Of course, there are a lot of time he will stand beside, watching others complain triumphantly and large. This state of mind like a child, but also reflects a kind of love from the heart of the book.
reading in no particular order I just said, the feelings of the book is more in no particular order. We compared the old man may not so much knowledge, so much without their knowledge, but we have the feelings of the book. I remember when I was young, there are many stories about the book. My father was teaching in the city, I at 6 pm every weekend to go home when he was 7, absolutely no play, a Dad can only see once a week, particularly happy. The result, as long as to see my father, I am not asked the first, but once the bag will be a bike to take it over. is very simple, I knew, Dad for my set of think we will have a similar experience. into university, I am more savings over time. baht in his pocket was not much, enough to eat in the premise of ensuring the major expenses is to buy books. when books like looking for discount, 8 8 binary not buy off of. There is scouring books to the old book stalls, then go to the Zhongguancun favorite playground, a very large open-air books market, enough to fancy a day. do not buy books before the last my heart is always unsettling, because the fear much money in his pocket, the event of a favorite book can only stand and lost. my worst time was basically spent the money already, but saw a direct translation from the Latin Penguin is the old English version of Plutarch's 5 dollars, and can not counter-offer. At that time I really get it out, grinding for a long time. The boss said, Well, you wait until I shut the shop to buy if no one when you come to help me to shut the shop loading to 3 dollars sell it to you. I waited until 17:30 to help his books in a car door to get a book launch, when the O can not say that the happy hammer! with labor in exchange for the book, still on my bookshelf. It was ten years ago, still has a very deep impression.
talk about the book is now the second question, what kind of book. we have the opportunity to see the library can read the ancient books mm is the treasure chamber called greatest treasures of the rare books reading room Youshou mm that entered the south gate of the house. I like the atmosphere there, it used to be able to see some old man wearing white gloves, holding pencil, special focus, as Laosengruding like waiting for librarians to take the book out from the library, and then with a trace of expression began to look pious. this feeling I've never seen in other places, very sacred, as sobering as the soul will be baptized. There the new student, said Peking University Library also like Yes, not many books it! In fact this year library renovation just in time to save the library and a large library have been sealed forced to temporarily you can not see. But do not worry, good renovation of next year all the open new library, everything will greatly change the.
turned the book in addition to our outside experts, the development is now online book fast. In the past, when we go to school, seven or eight people living together, then four people live together, everyone has a pile of books. there is no way to not only put a temporary closet or a book on the edge of the corridor, tenterhooks all day. Many books to buy, but where you put it? so we should be aware of a truth, and some you do not need to buy the book. For example, the network library is a good example. learn Chinese, history, Philosophy students, there may be a lot of people will say, I like holding a book to see. I also really like the feeling of holding a book, do not like lying in front of the computer to see ; cutting corners scholar's words, allusions came from where. If in accordance with the previous method, only to push lightly to access books or Si Ku Quan Shu. not to mention one, two, I estimate that month, two months are endless push lightly. Now, Electronic Reading Room where you sit down to retrieve, through keyboard input keywords, about twenty or thirty seconds to full-out. . We should have this mental preparation, the use of faster, master the more skilled, more access to opportunities.
example, I gave the students the International Relations class, talking about the security issues in Northeast Asia number to use when the relevant domestic and foreign books, each chapter of this book in a normal folder, PDF format, different categories to sort, need it Just click the chapters on it. online book is not only convenient, but also very easy to save, a 700 megabyte CD-ROM can be engraved with a shelf of books. I advise you take advantage of spare time, chatting to the Internet to find books. search the books they need, and after finishing more multi-form series, is also a pleasure. We have some high school students produced a book on the FTP are also free to download, particularly in politics, law, literature, history books is particularly high. As far as I know, that cover ancient and modern Chinese and foreign, in different periods in various countries, books, and even e-books can also be found in many foreign languages. Collecting books on their own computer, want to tap the time, you can read on a chapter by chapter, but also in their favorite places do some record or extract. this time will really feel it very nice to read something.
third question about the book is where to buy books is better, this is something we are very concerned about. Let me talk formal book bookstore near the school is the most famous Halloween Book Garden, the original three-ring near the northwest side of the People's University, and later moved to the south gate of Beijing University, and soon moved to the East Gate Bo Yata into the House under the road has been demolished, The store is now in the Peking University Tsinghua University teachers Lan Qiying district. Halloween Book Garden has a very professional bibliography from the National Book the selection, into the system, in a targeted manner into the book. In particular, we are relatively social sciences books is relatively wide. We of this generation is very emotional Halloween Book Garden, where we will hold it to move to where there have been numerous in the end bought in the number of books. similar to the bookstore near the south gate of Beijing University also urgent need to find a good book or to find the book too, I guess go to these places should be no problem. Xidan Books Building more number of books, shopping, fine with, but for us, the books featured far less Halloween Book Garden , but also want to consider a trip to take you into the ticket and time. Also, we are still near the Zhongguancun Book Building can go and see. it should be noted that these bookstores are now largely have their own dedicated page , you can search for books, to make relevant inquiries before the preparation is helpful.
online purchase of books in recent years have begun to pop up, I rarely buy, we can look at the Internet. We are here to recommend a hole Master Books Online, literature, history, philosophy, the book is full, the price is a little expensive, but there are some very old, hard to find book. There is also a great advantage that we can discuss with each other, some of which are engaged in different line of business people recommend different areas of bibliography, there are some very comprehensive, very authoritative, and can broaden their horizons, to save time and avoid detours. Another option is to buy books bookstores in China, especially for students who like books is a good place to go. Haidian near our school library there is a town in the near Xidan a major bookstores selling old magazines in China, in Liulichang China also has a great bookstore, Fusi, Xinjiekou, Dengshikou Bookstore also has branches in China. we can look at the Chinese bookstores are selling a regular basis every year, some Chinese have put their books bookstores on the net, you can check, this is a shortcut to understand where their needs Books can be directly ran. Sometimes bookstore East to China to see the West look, will encounter many interesting things, you are very surprised to see a lot of books. For example, in 1996 I went to bookstores to buy books, Haidian China and found a Mr Qian's was like, this is a treasure, too quickly to buy it, and the price is not expensive, 30 dollars, this time I can be Jianlou the. happily go to checkout time, sales took a look at my book, said: looking forward to their eyes is not likely to go. Although there does not bargain, but still worth a look.
I would like to give you some scouring used book place. Beijing in the spring every year, large-scale , Fall Book Fair, students can buy complete sets of books to the bookstores to see, sometimes as little as 3 fold. such as to buy the Xinhua Bookstore Head Office ditch near the warehouse, inside the book more full, there is a special discount of the hall, especially the Chinese literature, history students can go for a search, then the word history, book reviews, and notes the novel is full. Some students favorite old book stalls, to Beijing University as the center, there are many large and small, book fairs, and will have many interesting stories. I saw the first in the Zhongguancun Book City is the playground, when there are hundreds of stalls, a spectacular great; was most moved to the back of the altar of the old gym on the playground, and those who sell books at the university near the north gate of Tsinghua University is a small brook ran; then later because of the urban management department, Qinghe town near a road; and some people have been insisting in the North East Gate There are many antiques to sell, of course, you need a professional vision, books are also relatively large size of the city. There are at Temple where the main collection of books sold, the price is slightly more expensive, but also can find books related to our profession. In addition, Wudaokou before, Yuquanying also have a larger book market, we can find their own search. actually not far away, the size of our school books to a large city in the southwest corner of the school, graduate dormitory next to every weekend are open. like this book fairs in the National People's Congress, the university can also be seen. North school books before the market even more brilliant, brilliant to what extent? then the triangle of Beijing University, which is now full of persimmon along Centennial Lecture tree, persimmon tree a lot of selling old books. I guess when there are dozens of up to the weekend when the voices, very lively.
Having said that, the best place is our library. After all, there books are free, but also more types of all. famous historian Mr. Cai Shangsi, we have two teachers, one is to give us lessons, teachings of the ;, teachers do not speak, that is books. After all, is known as the do not need to do special procedures. Then he left the old North, because his daughter work at the university, so often into the library and read a book. the result is not the same, must have approval before they can see. He said he and other time a look at those must have a big role.
Then I turn to the second aspect is reading. We have heard a lot of small to large story about the study, such as Di Needless to say, and even went to school listening to music, drink some coffee, have become fashionable. you are not educated, do not appreciate to see you enjoy reading the mood. reading itself is a very noble, very pleasant thing. Some Ancient Chinese scholars to study, said the highest state of La Tortura things to appreciate from the study can not be replaced during the fun.
so-called In to the extreme. we are now homework is very tense, especially repair double degree students, there are a lot of homework to do. If free, then studied under different areas to try, read books to improve the overall quality of a person is good, and I think this is a lifetime accumulation of experience, Mr. Lu Xun. I would like to give two small examples of my experience is that. The first case study will enable us to get some inspiration to enhance your daily life, life, and many other aspects of understanding. before few days, I and several friends to eat, wine to the semi-intoxicated, suddenly talked to the topic Why do people drink. all the answers varied, there was no seriously. After work I go out two or three days , handy in the car rolled, Yingwu doing Suzhou Prefecture, after drinking with friends when writing this poem, in which a few are like this, a glass of wine, Yang Ling Jin Zhang. Huan body from the light of God, desire Ling Fengxiang. interest will affect even forgot convergence, drink a few glasses to some fruit to plate of lamb, plus a little wine, or listen to these sentiments, then feel smug, You Youran, not Ling Fengxiang example is the biography of the harvest. I usually like to see biographies of all times, watching other people's lives not only allows us to realize a lot of philosophy of life, and there are many biographies of our professional learning itself is a reference book, is very good supplementary textbook knowledge. For example, Mr. Deng Guangming you want to see the History, Chinese diplomatic history; and Our historic Peking University, commended concubinage and other gossip. I read his biography after a lot of feelings, everyone has many sides, not blinders. Mr. Gu Hongming known as . is said to be nine foreign languages, took thirteen PhD. Despite his traditional culture and ethics of the five-body cast, but it is teaching Latin at the university. I saw Mr. Zhou Zuoren in the Old North's stories, which described Mr. Gu Hongming very cute. because he usually teach students Latin, there is no chance to show his attitude of Sinology, so there is an opportunity he will come up. have a president ready to talk Cai, the following Some people still whisper, then suddenly stood up and said, Mr. Ku Hung-ming: mainly innovators here, we discovered that surprisingly the body out of which Mr. Koo, who is strongly supported Caijiao Chang's. Everyone will find some reason to stand up and take a stand, Mr. Koo also raised their hands to say a few words. His reason and others are not the same, standing on the podium for the first class students. you know, we are more stressed traditional Peking freedom and democracy, the students dragged a ponytail look freaks, and laughed. Mr. Koo did not laugh, slowly said a word, so that all students are dumb. that's what ah? He said: Each piece of our hearts little mistake, is not no trace of it?
on second reading to talk about the content, is to study to become a habit, covered to a wide range, which is one of our North tradition. Learning is like making pyramids, if the basis of the following is not thick, not wide, then, to build a towering pyramid, it is surely a mirage. our old president Hu Shih quotes scholarship is , the majority to be able to be high. contribute to the understanding and awareness of the problem.
of it. Asia's political and diplomatic, especially the Japanese political and diplomatic studies. class and the students talk, and some students are worried about: You say that the United States how to do it? in the end want to do? finish in Afghanistan, fought in Iraq and the Bush also aimed at the next step, one is North Korea, one is Iran. Cold War is over, we all thought everything is fine, and it is going to play such a call, what will the future see? powerful United States will go from what? We learn of political science, international politics, law, history students and scholars should be noted that Hannah. Arendt (Hannah Arendt). She said in the article, issued an open invitation to violence mm for in power and felt it was slipping away from their own people always find it difficult to resist the temptation to use violence instead of power. violent person, organization or country, in general share a common premise that there is decreased or diminished the power of the threat. This is a kind of dialectical argument. why the United States beat in the final analysis it is not, or feel may not be invincible master of the lonely, not a the last day to write a song called Gore wrote the poem: . on your no cover on the basis of poverty, build the throne of God every day. you know monster is not great, proud and steadfast. concept is indeed not the same. and Tagore echoes the poem is a poem by the Japanese. In a famous Japanese novel the sound of impermanence; Saros Doubletree's suit, which was whoever endures Sheng; Jiaoshe those long long, just like spring night a dream; strong beam are final downfall, like dust before the wind. the Buddhist concept of impermanence important influence on the Japanese. Some students lamented that the Japanese militarists was a good read if this poem, perhaps not invaded, and of course this is just our wishful thinking. From the above examples can be seen to cultivate reading habits, range widely and more understanding of human ancestors left to us valuable experience and wealth, will help you a lot of things and phenomena now have a more comprehensive and deeper understanding.
on third reading I would like to talk about a very important ability in mm context. Leaving professor is a graduate of Peking University, Tsinghua University, now a professor. One of his important works is the Volume I made on some additional, separate into a book. Research in the field of Chinese intellectual history there are many books, I personally think that the teacher is most characteristic of Ge try to literature, history, philosophy, mastery, in the nuances see many profound truth. For example, his study of the history that range of thought to include private school textbooks, papers and maps and other materials, including a map of the ancient Chinese, particularly after the Chinese world map spread on the history of ideas and people are very concerned about the impact of the concept. Of course, the academic results of his research methods and evaluation are not entirely consistent. I personally think this is a very good attempt, is carrying forward the old academic style of Peking University.
Mr. Lv Zuqian the Southern Song Dynasty once said, If the body in which the history, see something of interest, when the scourge, will Yanjuan from thinking that I encountered such things as where the? into the knowledge can also be high for the good side. experience, to promote research and learning the importance of avoiding their own center and is treasure for the error. The Chinese Department of Professor Yan Shaodang experience in the introduction, said his scholarship, engage in research, reading, can not simply look at the translation of the book, in particular, History and Philosophy of the students are engaged, should strive to use the study the language, consciousness, thinking characteristic to think, then you can find our culture and other cultures of the subtle distinction, but often in the nuances of the essence.
Let me give an example. What I have just talked about where to go to the United States the problem, and now I want to say the world will debate where to go. for the future development trend of the world, countries put forward many different viewpoints and scholars. Some center of world civilization, like most students transfer theory point of view, that the civilized world, center or power center is from Portugal to Spain, to Holland, then Germany, France, Britain, the United States after World War II, then do not re-transferred to China to the 21st century will be the so-called avoid it? I would like to sum up a rule, can not just look at the symptoms, you can come up with good reason. different disciplines to answer this question for different conclusions, I think a subject should not be given only by a fixed answer. For example, Mr. intellectual Chien Mu, to differences in seeking the same, with the see the differences, but also the same set of dissent, the adoption of different peoples of the world culture are the advantages to be through mixed ...
