■Wilson's translation of "The bet365 code"
Get to know the famous Confucian scholars and understand bet365 code culture
Since Wei Lixian came to Qingdao in May 1899,I was impressed by the oriental culture that he yearned for。The next 25 years of living in China,Wei Lixian is almost completely immersed in the baptism of bet365 code culture and wisdom,without developing a believer。When he came to China "he was a theologian and missionary,When he left China, he became a believer in Confucius” (Zhang Junmai’s words)。His respect for Confucius and Confucian classics can be seen from his bet365 code name "Xisheng"。
In the first ten years after coming to Qingdao,In addition to writing teaching materials for the students of "Li Xian College", Wei Lixian,Also committed to fully or abridged translation of some Confucian classics。By learning bet365 code from rural teachers and his own translation work,Wei Lixian began to accept the baptism of bet365 code culture。But at this stage,Wei Lixian’s understanding of bet365 code culture is still relatively superficial。Zhou Fu (1837-1921), a former governor of Shandong, suggested that he get to know real bet365 code scholars,Introduced him to the Jinshi of the late Qing Dynasty in 1913、Lao Naixuan, who was the director of the Capital University,Wilson thus understood the deep connotation of bet365 code culture。After the Revolution of 1911,Many famous scholars moved to Qingdao,Most of them are the guardians of Confucianism,Ru Lao Naixuan、Kang Youwei、Liang Qichao、Gu Hongming,etc.,That’s why Wei Lixian got to know them。Wei Lixian has always treated Lao Naixuan with great courtesy,Think of yourself as a disciple,Lao Naixuan is also very satisfied with Wei Lixian,Calling him "a Confucian person",It’s extremely rare”。Afterwards,Wei Lixian translated the "Book of Changes" under the guidance of Lao Naixuan,It took more than ten years to complete。At the same time,Wei Lixian also went to Mount Tai、Qufu、Traveling to Yungang Grottoes and other places,Feel bet365 code culture through personal experience。In this infiltration and baptism,Wei Lixian’s temperament has also undergone fundamental changes,So he and Jung (C, the founder of the school of analytical psychology. G. Jung, 1875-1961) When they first met (1920),This left such an impression on Jung: "He looked completely bet365 code,This is true both in outward demeanor and in the way you write and speak。Oriental views and ancient bet365 code culture have gradually been integrated into his heart。”
Promote the “spread of learning from the East bet365 code” with the help of academic institutions
Wei Lixian opened "Li Xian Academy" and "Mei Yi Academy" as a move to establish education,And was awarded the fourth rank by the Qing government for his excellent school performance。And Wei Lixian wants to spread bet365 code culture and wisdom to the West from the bottom of his heart,His wish is mainly realized with the help of academic institutions。
Since becoming acquainted with the above-mentioned famous scholars,Wei Lixian founded the "Zun Kong Literary Society" in the "Lixian College"。This is a free academic group,Mainly composed of bet365 code scholars represented by Rao Naixuan and German scholars teaching in Qingdao。They often have East-West conversations together,So it is also called "bet365 code and Western Literature Society"。It is not so much about promoting cultural exchanges between East and West through this institution,Rather, let German scholars know more about bet365 code culture。
While teaching at Peking University,bet365 code founded the "Oriental Society" again,With Liang Qichao、Cai Yuanpei、Hu Shi and others have frequent contacts,Geng and Zhang Junmai、Xu Zhimo and others became close friends。
1922,Wilson returned to Darmstadt, Germany to attend the founding meeting of the "School of Wisdom" initiated by Count Hermann Kesselring,bet365 code was later hailed as "Marco Polo who discovered China's inner world" (Jung "In Memory of Wilhelm Wilhelm")。
November 1925,Wilson established the “China Society” in Frankfurt,With the help of this agency, newspapers and periodicals such as "Sino-German Yearbook", "China" and "East Asia Review" were gradually founded,Holding various seminars and exhibitions related to bet365 code culture,The content involves literature、Art、Painting、Music、Drama、Construction and many other fields,To help Westerners understand the connotation and significance of bet365 code culture。
Translating bet365 code Classics Zebei Western World
Wei Lixian’s lifetime of translations and writings was plentiful。His works mainly introduce and write about bet365 code culture;His translations have completed the systematic translation of bet365 code classics,Including "The Analects of Confucius", "Mencius", "Book of Rites", "Book of Changes" and other Confucian classics,"Tao Te Ching", "Lieh Tzu", "Zhuang Zi" and other Taoist classics, as well as "Lu's Spring and Autumn Annals" which are miscellaneous works, etc.,These translations have influenced generations of Western Sinologists。
His book "The bet365 code Mind" was translated into English and published in 1928,Has a wide impact throughout continental Europe and North America。And his "greatest achievement is the translation and interpretation of the "Book of Changes"" (Jung "In Memory of Wilhelm Wilson"),He still enjoys a high reputation today,This is inseparable from the influence of him and his translations on Jung and the school of analytical psychology。
Wei Lixian regards bet365 code wisdom as the prescription and rescue method for modern Europe,And he regarded the "Book of Changes" as the "Book of Wisdom",Think of the image of the Book of Changes、Number、reason、Accounting contains richness、Wisdom of life that can transcend time and space,Unlike James Legge, who only regarded the "Book of Changes" as a "Confucian classic"。This is related to the repeated deliberation between Wei Lixian and Lao Naixuan for more than ten years when translating this book,And his personal experience of bet365 code wisdom,are inseparable。"Wilson understood the living meaning of the Book of Changes,This gives its translation a far-reaching perspective" (Jung "In Memory of Wilhelm Wilhelm")。Especially Baynes (Cary F. Baynes) translated it into English and published it in the United States in 1950,It has had a significant impact on the Western world。Today,Wei-Beiben's "Book of Changes" is still the best-selling translation of "Book of Changes" in the English-speaking world。
Inspired by Wilhelm Wilhelm's translation of "The bet365 code",Jung proposed the "principle of synchronicity",As the inner cornerstone of constructing its analytical psychology。Post-Jungian scholars regard the "bet365 code" as the source of "archetypal power",Regard hexagrams and lines as an important medium for insight into people’s unconscious contents。Since Jung,The school of analytical psychology has become an important force in spreading the wisdom of the "I Ching" in the West,It has important reference and inspiration significance for further promoting the "spread of Eastern learning to the West"。
