Features: This book is a compilation of Qian Mu's specialized essays and speeches on Chinese culture and education, consisting of twenty articles. All were written during the War of Resistance when he felt the profound changes in the land and the decline of moral values, unable to bear the idea of "passing down the empire of the two emperors and three kings to the northern frontier." With his deep understanding of Chinese culture and a sense of its vibrant spirit, he reveals the differences between Eastern and Western traditions and routes, points out the path for the modern transformation of Chinese culture, and places particular emphasis on the flaws and reforms of education, seeking the right path for the healthy development of the nation. "He compiled the issues related to culture into the first volume and attached discussions on academic trends. The issues related to education were compiled into the second volume, with discussions on political and administrative matters attached." The entire book is concise yet profound, timeless and ever-renewing, making it a work that should not be missed by anyone who loves China and its culture.
