摘要
The current ＂national learning craze,＂ which is still going strong, is the inevitable outcome of the combined forces of a global wave of cultural conservatism and the revival of China＇s traditional culture against a ＂post-Cold War＂ backdrop. From the early modem times on, despite its many vicissitudes, national learning with Confucianism as its mainstay has retained its vitality, and it still provides an important spiritual foundation for the reconstruction of contemporary Chinese culture. National learning, particularly traditional Confucian thought, must undergo profound self-criticism and temporal renewal to be transformed by modernization. Therefore, self-criticism of national learning will be a key link in rebuilding Chinese culture.
