冯天瑜《文化困知录》读札

Book Review:Reflections on Chinese Culture

《文化困知录》是冯天瑜先生晚年的又一力作,也是其在文化史研究领域的一个总结性著作。历时四十多年困心钻研思索而得,故名之曰《文化困知录》。作者一生潜心学术,开创了文化生态学与历史文化语义学两大领域。文化生态学从长时段的立体视角为中国文化的生成提供了一个整体解释框架;历史文化语义学则以核心概念和关键术语为切口,深入到中华元典之中,探究中国文化的重演定律。作者一生困知勉行,不止于个人的修学问道,而以回应社会关切为初心,解学界之困,释时人之惑。

Reflections on Chinese Culture is another masterpiece of Feng Tianyu in his later years,and it is also a summary work in the field of Chinese cultural history research.This work was completed by the author after more than forty years of hard research.The author has devoted his life to academics,and has created two major fields:Chinese cultural ecology and historical and cultural semantics.Cultural ecology offers an overall explanatory framework for the development of Chinese culture from a three-dimensional perspective over a long period of time.Historical and cultural semantics study concepts to explore the patterns of Chinese cultures repetition.The authors lifelong research on knowledge aims to respond to the concerns of the society,solve the problems of the academia and explain the confusions of the people.
