What kind of educational concept is liberal arts education?
The first one is "Bo", which should be linked with arts and sciences. Mr. Qian Xuesen said: Important inventions first come from thinking in images, and then from logical thinking. Only in this way can there be meaningful creation. In the aspect of "Bo", many schools in Chinese mainland, including Peking University and Fudan University, began to explore and practice in recent years. Nowadays, it is more commonly called "general education". In my opinion, general education is very important, but it cannot replace liberal arts education. There are still differences between these two concepts.

"General education" embodies "knowledge" in liberal arts education, and "knowledge" has other elements. The second is "elegance". "Elegance" means first and learning second, which is clearly put forward by Stanford University, which is famous for its science and technology. The third is student-centered, based on teaching and educating people. Fourth, the first category, mainly small classes. I think it is very important to encourage students to ask questions and cultivate the spirit of questioning. The fifth is to participate in the rich second class such as community, social practice and scientific research activities.
