Features: Zeng Guofan once said, "There are those who are skilled in literature but lack understanding, but how can there be those who understand but are not skilled in literature? For Xu Fuguan, he qualifies as both a 'knowing person' and a 'skilled writer.' As one of the modern New Confucians of the 20th century and a renowned historian of thought, his achievements in philosophy and the history of thought have attracted considerable attention and discussion. However, research on his literary accomplishments remains relatively weak. This book focuses on studying Xu Fuguan from a literary perspective, primarily from three levels: first, Xu Fuguan himself; second, the history of academic thought in 20th-century China; and third, the systematic issues Xu Fuguan dedicated himself to discussing. Through this book, you will gain a deeper understanding of the 'literary' aspect of Xu Fuguan.
