Features: Chen Xujing was a rare master scholar and educator who was proficient in both Chinese and Western studies in the history of modern Chinese academia. Currently, research on Chen Xujing is primarily focused on his theory of "comprehensive Westernization," with almost no comprehensive review of his entire academic system from a cultural studies perspective. This book places Chen Xujing in the context of China's modern social transformation and the sinicization of academia, employing research methods such as hermeneutics and cultural studies to analyze the intrinsic, historical, and dynamic connections between the relevant studies he conducted. It reconstructs his cultural studies system and evaluates it. At the same time, this research approach engages in dialogue with existing studies on Chen Xujing, as well as with research on modern Chinese cultural history and academic history.
