As a deep and penetrating historian,Professor Liu Jiahe is eminent for his profound knowledge and research in ancient and modern histories,as well as the West and China.Starting from the ancient Greek,his academic research shifted to ancient India before going back to China.He has been making great contributions to these fields,breaking a new trail to study the ancient Chinese history,and has solved some controversial problems in the Confucian classic studies or jingxue.Under the guidance of a philosophical insight,and combining the traditional Chinese philology,bibliography and textual criticism with the logic tradition in the Western philosophy,he contributed greatly to the learning of ronghui guantong(harmonizing different theories and methods into an academic system or hierarchy)which makes it possible for him to interpret interactively the histories of the West and China in comparison.Open-mindedness,noble academic aspiration,perseverance,reflexivity for improvement and high-efficiency make him a perfect model for the modern Chinese historical profession.
