One hundred years ago, Zhang Zhidong tried to advocate Chinese
learning by saying: “The course of a nation, be it bright or
gloomy, the pool of talents, be it large or small, are about
governance on the surface, and about learning at the root. “ At
that time, the imperialist powers cast menacing eyes on our
country, and the domestic situation was deteriorating.The quick
infiltration of Western learning made the long-standing Chinese
tradition come under heavy challenge. In those days, Chinese
learning and Western learning stood side by side. Literature,
history and philosophy split up, while many new branches of
learning such as economics, politics and sociology were
flourishing, which made many Chinese dazed.However, there appeared
a vital and vigorous learning climate out of the confusing
situation. It was at this critical moment that modern Chinese
scholarship made the transition-by exchanging views, basing on
profound contemplation and even with confrontation of idea and
clash of views, the scholarship made continuous progress, bringing
up a large number of persons of academic distinction and creating
numerous innovative works. Changes in scholarship and in general
modes of thinking made transition in all aspects of the society
possible, thus laying a solid foundation for revitalizing
China.
