Features: My friend said: Confucius clearly said, "Learning without thought is lost; thought without learning is perilous," why did you change two words? I replied: Because I changed two words, I became an "f" student. The twenty-five articles collected in "The Shockwave of Modern Culture" are exploratory talks by Mr. Zhou Youguang, aged 95, on cultural issues over the past decade. From ancient to modern times, from China to the world, spanning a millennium, they delve into topics like the Four Treasures of the Study in China and the Three Treasures in the eyes of foreigners (the Great Wall, the Terracotta Army, Chinese characters). Through these diverse perspectives, they provide us with a fresh space to understand modern culture and historical traditions.
