Generally believed，The study of ancient Greece and Rome is called "Classics"。China has a splendid ancient civilization，There should be its own "classics"。Discuss from an academic perspective，“Chinese Classics” can be defined as the civilization of China’s pre-Qin period、Culture、History、Philosophy、Literature、Art、Language、Text、A comprehensive subject that conducts systematic research on regulations and systems。To avoid too broad a definition，It is necessary to add three points。From the perspective of research objects，It is necessary to study the pre-Qin classics as the source of Chinese civilization，We must also study the archaeological remains and unearthed objects that reflect the origin of Chinese civilization，Includes written materials and non-written materials。Research methods，It is necessary to adopt the bet365 live casino traditional "elementary school" method，We must also adopt a multidisciplinary approach，Emphasis on the combination of text interpretation and historical background，Pay attention to both empirical research and theoretical exploration，Strive to restore the true appearance of ancient society，Reveal its internal logic and development rules。In the relationship with adjacent disciplines，Although "Chinese Classics" is related to traditional "primary school"，But it has gone beyond "primary school"，We also need to study "Confucian classics" and "historiography"。

"Chinese Classics" has reason to become an independent discipline。First，It is an existence corresponding to "Western Classics"。“Chinese Classics” studies the language of Chinese pre-Qin classics、Text、History、Culture and civilization, etc.；And "Western Classics" studies ancient Greek、Old Latin，Towards ancient Greece、Complete and study ancient Roman classics。Secondly，“Chinese Classics” is a chronological study bet365 best casino games relative to the entire Chinese historical period，Based on Pre-Qin，Laid the ideological and cultural foundation of ancient and even contemporary China。We do not advocate including classics from the Qin and Han Dynasties until modern times into the scope of research，Otherwise, it is no different from “Chinese Studies”，And does not correspond to the research period of Western Classics。

In the era of globalization，“Classics” should not be the proper name for the study of classical civilization in a certain region，It should be a general name for the study of early civilizations in the world。When involving a certain region，You can add the region name，Such as "Chinese Classics", "European Classics", "Egyptian Classics", "Mesopotamia Classics", etc.。

“Chinese Classics” is not only the inheritance and protection of ancient Chinese civilization，Provides important nourishment for the civilization construction of modern Chinese society。It helps to enhance our understanding and recognition of our own cultural traditions，Promote cultural innovation bet365 online games and development，At the same time, enhance the international influence of Chinese culture in the context of globalization。The contribution of "Chinese Classics" to world civilization is mainly reflected in the following three aspects。

First, the impact on cultural communication and philosophical thought。This discipline deeply explores and promotes Confucianism、Taoism、Mojia、Thoughts of Legalists and other schools，These ideas not only create the cornerstone of Chinese culture，It has also had a profound impact on the global philosophical thought community。For example，The benevolence advocated by Confucianism、Etiquette and Doctrine of the Mean，To promote social harmony、Strengthening moral education is of universal significance；Taoist view of nature、The rule of inaction and the spirit of freedom provide modern people with a new perspective on the relationship between nature and humans。

The second is the refinement and reference of historical wisdom。By studying pre-Qin history，“Chinese Classics” summarizes rich historical bet365 sports betting platform experiences and lessons，Provides a valuable historical mirror for global governance。These historical wisdoms involve national governance、Success and failure cases in the fields of social change and cultural integration，Is of great value to improving and developing the global governance system。

The third is the promotion of cross-cultural communication and understanding。The research and dissemination of "Chinese Classics" helps promote exchanges and understanding between different civilizations，Increase people’s understanding of the unique charm and spiritual connotation of Chinese culture，Promote the construction of a community with a shared future for mankind。

Under the general trend of globalization，Let “Chinese Classics” better go to the world，Need to adopt a diversified strategy。On the one hand，Need to strengthen academic research and international cooperation，Through international academic conference、Joint research projects and other ways，Share research results with scholars around the world，Enhance international influence。bet365 online games On the other hand，To promote cultural exchange and dissemination，Use of cultural exhibitions、Art performances and academic exchanges, etc.，Show the charm of “Chinese Classics” to the world，Enhance the international community’s understanding and recognition of Chinese culture。
