Features: This book collects speeches by Yu Qiuwei on Chinese culture and related materials. The speeches were delivered at Yuelu Academy, a prestigious center of classical Chinese cultural philosophy. Mr. Yu Qiuwei believes that by the late 20th century, Chinese culture had not yet established a complete collective personality image in the contemporary world. In the past, Chinese culture had built three bridges—classical academic theory, secular folk arts, and information media—but this was far from enough. A strong bridge capable of powerfully embodying the national soul and elevating the artistic spirit of the Chinese people, widely accepted by the international community, still needs to be constructed. For this, we need a positive mindset, a wise vision to observe the future, and a spirit of anticipation and celebration for the builders. He predicts that around 2020, Chinese culture will break through the silence and barriers, experiencing a revival on a large scale. At that time, Chinese culture will flow with vitality, open minds, and harmonious sounds, standing prominently at the pinnacle of world culture, achieving an unparalleled and natural supreme status.
