Features: The times are advancing, and humanity is progressing. The tide of reform has presented a brand-new China to the world. With the rapid development of economic construction, cultural undertakings have also been booming. Many wise people are thinking, exploring, summarizing, and improving. In academic research, academic thought has never been more vibrant, with various schools of thought displaying their brilliance, truly ushering in a spring of a hundred flowers in full bloom. The essence of the difference between humans and animals lies in the fact that humans have thoughts; the reason why human society has developed to where it is today is also because humans have thoughts. If people are not good at summarizing experience, perfecting themselves, or changing the environment, then today, humanity might still be crawling in the dark, still living in a state of horticulture.
Looking back at China's five thousand years of history, we see that the sages and philosophers of past dynasties have been writing the history of Chinese academic thought with their mighty pens through theoretical discussions and academic debates. Since the reform and opening-up, China has once again surged in the wave of learning from the West. Many people have studied management, science, and technology from the West. We know that today's society is an era of endless new things and new knowledge. A person who is not good at learning cannot become a talent, and a nation that is not good at learning will find it even harder to stand among the world's nations.
Now, the Party Central Committee requires us to build a learning society, and the fundamental purpose of this is to uphold scientific development concepts, keep pace with the times, and cultivate a new generation of socialist successors. At this moment, we are publishing this series, "New Century Collection of Academic Writings," with the primary goal of contributing to the creation of a learning society, making the atmosphere of learning stronger, making the saying "Live and learn" a norm for people's actions, and making learning an indispensable part of everyone's life.
Today, more than two decades after the reform and opening-up, and after China's entry into the WTO, our national strength has grown even stronger, and the country has become more open. Academic research has also been carried out more vigorously. I believe that the prosperity of academic achievements is also just around the corner. Over the years, our publishing house has done some work in promoting academic research achievements, but it is not enough. The second purpose of launching this series, "New Century Collection of Academic Writings," is to publish the high-level academic achievements of some scholars and contribute them to society, with the hope that more scholars will liberate their minds, dare to innovate, be people-centered, and be willing to contribute, so that they can produce more and better academic achievements. By doing so, we can free the academic flower from the scholars' study and let it bear fruit in the vast garden of society, thereby benefiting humanity.
