The attempt to reconstruct the personality of intellectuals: re - reading one of the Chinese literary classics entitled the Scholars

在否定了庸俗卑贱的时代士风后,吴敬梓试图在虞博士身上重建新型知识分子人格:以天怀淡定、蔑视富贵、仁者爱人为基本内涵,以儒道互补的文化心态为哲理基础。然而,这个人格范式既缺乏现实条件的支撑,又不能代表历史进步的潮流,注定处于一种软弱无力的状态。

Wu Jing - zi took the cultural psychology with integration of Confucianism and Taoism as his philosophical basis, Nonetheless, his personality model had no bolster of actual condition, nor did this model represent the historical progress trend. Consequently, the model was doomed to stay in a feeble state.
