Features: Humanism originally emerged as a new connotation of humanism under certain historical conditions, and the term was adopted to emphasize this new meaning. It is not difficult for those who understand the development of humanism to grasp this. However, once the term "humanism" was established in Chinese, it acquired an independent meaning. Some people not only regard it as two different concepts but even oppose them, viewing humanism as merely a narrow form of humanism, completely reversing the relationship between the two. This is precisely because there is no consensus on the meaning of the term "humanism," to put it bluntly, even the concepts are not clearly understood. As a result, in relevant discussions, people hastily jump into debates, leading to a chaotic situation where each side argues their own version of the truth. The outcome is a messy and unresolved conflict, leaving the readers who are merely observing even more confused.
