Academy spirit is the crystallization of fine traditions accumulated and condensed in the long-term development of academy education, and it is the soul of academy tradition. Academy inherits China's cultural and academic thoughts, enriches and develops China's ancient educational thoughts, and forms its own unique and vital spiritual connotation, which people call "Academy Spirit". This spirit had a great influence on China literati, and did not end with the end of the academy system.
In A Brief History of the Academy System, Mr. Hu Shi pointed out that the spirit of the academy represents the spirit of the times, lectures and deliberations, self-study and textual research, with special emphasis on the true spirit of the academy.
College spirit:
The first is the consciousness, self-confidence and responsibility of culture. We should have the mind of spreading Taoism and benefiting the people, and take it as our responsibility to carry forward the excellent national culture. Under the new situation, we should once again practice the great ambition of Song Confucianism: to stand for heaven and earth, to stand for the people, to carry forward the past and create peace for all generations. The so-called family affairs, state affairs and everything in the world care about everything; Lide makes meritorious deeds and pursues everything. This is the feelings of the academy and the pursuit of the academy.
Second, while maintaining the trend of opening up, we should be kind to tradition, not only expelling the old, absorbing the new, but also learning from the old. Pay equal attention to tradition and modernity, learn from Western learning in Europe and America, attach importance to China's traditional classics, and make good use of the essence of middle schools. Keep pace with the times and bring forth the new, which is the spirit of ancient academy string songs for thousands of years. Only in this way can we inherit the eternal vitality of the academy in the accumulation, research, innovation and dissemination of culture, establish new cultural self-confidence and stand in the forest of national culture in the world.
