Wang Guowei also devoted himself to the research and arrangement of the ancient historical and geographical masterpiece "Notes on the Water Mirror". He mastered the remnants of Zhu in the Song Dynasty and the main versions and manuscripts since the Ming and Qing Dynasties. He not only carefully collated Zhu himself and made great achievements, but also made textual research on ancient artifacts and ancient geography through the study of editions, manuscripts, sources and informative degree.

Influenced by western philosophy in his early days, Wang Guowei studied philosophy when he was young. What does he think of Kant and Schopenhauer's philosophy? Lovely people can't be trusted , is it? Great metaphysics, strict ethics and pure aesthetics? And what is the positivism introduced by Yan Fu? Isn't a trustworthy person cute? As a scientist, Wang Guowei tends to be positivist, but he systematically introduced Schopenhauer's philosophy. The opposition between the two philosophical thoughts in modern times is also reflected in Wang Guowei's philosophical thoughts. This contradiction is reflected in his philosophical thought and academic research, which is manifested in his existing understanding of speculative philosophy (he called it? Pure philosophy? ) addiction is also the empirical spirit of respecting objective knowledge. He can use positivism, right? Conceptual world? Reflection and summary of research methods from a philosophical perspective. He made a unique contribution in analyzing and criticizing the traditional philosophical categories and consciously using empirical methods. Cai Yuanpei once said: Wang's introduction to Schopenhauer and Nietzsche hit the nail on the head, and his observation of philosophy was not contemporary with others. ? (China's philosophy in the last 50 years) Some achievements of Wang Guowei's philosophy of attacking and ruling have been included in the Collection of Jing 'an and its sequels, and 32 papers have been published in the education field, including 2 General Philosophy, 65,438+00 China Philosophy (all papers) and 20 Western Philosophy (6 papers and 65,438+04 biographies).

Wang Guowei pays equal attention to aesthetics, literature and philosophy. He once said: One writer is better than a hundred politicians. ? In the history of modern literature in China, he introduced Homer, Dante, Shakespeare, Byron, Stevenson, Goethe, Schiller, H, Tolstoy and other great foreign writers. He also studied China literature and wrote the famous Ci Hua on Earth. State theory? Aesthetics, literary theory, such as Chinese and western aesthetics, literary thought? Combination? , far-reaching, he proposed? The study of university, the three realms of great cause? The connotation is profound, and it has been widely read and known so far. The Review of A Dream of Red Mansions is the first important paper in the history of the study of a dream of red mansions, which systematically and comprehensively discusses various problems of a dream of red mansions and has pioneering and breakthrough significance in the study of a dream of red mansions. His poetry creation also has a unique style. His Poems on Earth 1 15 is good at lyricism, diverse in style and profound in philosophy, which shows his wisdom, sensitivity, clarity and significance, and is the crystallization of his putting aesthetic and literary theories into practice.

Wang Guowei's research on the history of China's classical operas has reached an unprecedented height. Guo Moruo once pointed out: Undoubtedly, Wang Guowei's History of Drama in Song and Yuan Dynasties (a textual research on drama at the end of Yuan Dynasty) and Lu Xun's History of China Novels are double walls in the study of China's literary history. It is not only a pioneering work, unprecedented, but also an authoritative achievement, which has been leading the later schools. ? Wang Guowei combined his profound academic origin and China literature accomplishment with the advanced western drama literature theory and scientific and meticulous research methods, unveiled the origin and formation of China drama art for the first time, outlined the outline of the development history of drama in Song and Yuan Dynasties, accumulated systematic data for the study of drama history, raised drama art to the category of historical science, and won its due position in the history of literature for Yuan Zaju and Nanxi. He has written eight monographs on the history of China's classical operas, and his research achievements have attracted worldwide attention.

Wang Guowei has done a lot of useful work in pedagogy research. 1At the end of the 9th century and the beginning of the 20th century, he put forward some bourgeois educational viewpoints from the standpoint of maintaining new learning and western learning, which reflected the desire of a group of advanced intellectuals in China at that time to promote the introduction of western ideas and revitalize China through educational reform. He put forward a series of expositions on educational purpose, epistemology, higher education and school management. Especially in the history of education in China, he was the first to put forward the educational proposition of cultivating a complete personality, that is, body, intelligence, morality and beauty, and also put forward? Complete knowledge? It has a certain influence on the elaboration of China's modern education system and the development of educational thoughts. His pedagogy thesis and translation of pedagogy and teaching materials are mainly published in Education World.

Wang Guowei has also made outstanding achievements in library science, edition science and bibliography. When I worked in the library of this department in my early years, I actively introduced new foreign disciplines (namely, logic) and psychology, and compiled A Brief History of Universal Library in the English Encyclopedia, which was collected in the archives of this department. While introducing the history of library, he also systematically introduced the introduction of library science and the development and evolution of ancient, medieval and modern libraries, especially the libraries in the Renaissance, the libraries in the United States and Britain, and the libraries and library management laws in other countries and regions in the world. In China in the late Qing Dynasty, Wang Guowei actively introduced the general situation of foreign libraries. Although its translation was published in 1930s, it was circulated internally and had certain influence. In 1930s, it was also an important academic translation of library science, which promoted the cause of library at that time. Wang Guowei's works, such as Collection of Library, Collection of Chatashan, Preface of Collection of Jingyetang and Collection of Chuanshulou, describe the general situation of cabinet collection and the evolution of private collection from the Northern Song Dynasty to the Ming Dynasty and the late Ming Dynasty, and are precious documents for studying the history of China library. Wang Guowei has an in-depth study of bibliography and has read important bibliography works in the history of the school. He also compiled bibliographical works, personally compiled catalogues and indexes, and compiled previously published texts such as Song editions of the Five Dynasties, ancient editions of Guangdong and Guangxi, and rare editions collected in Chuanshu Hall, which filled a big gap in the study of edition evolution. He is also brave in innovation and creation. He sorted out ancient books and examined more than 90 kinds of bibliographies/kloc-0. All the books he compiled became rare books, and most of them were collected by the special collection department of Beijing Library for future generations.

Wang Guowei wrote more than 60 kinds of works before his death. He edited and published Collected Works of Jing 'an and Guan Lin in the world. After his death, there were other publications, such as suicide notes, complete works and letters. There are many kinds of posthumous works published by modern people. ;
