□ Zhang Liwen (Dean of Confucius Institute, Renmin University of China, Chairman of Academic Committee)
Inspired by the spirit of being old, move on.
Teacher Ren is our role model, and he has many precious spirits worth learning.
Confucianism advocates the spirit of learning later and caring for young scholars. Mr. Ren has been devoted to promoting post-graduate students and caring for young scholars. 1980 I wrote a study of Zhu thought, about 500 thousand words, all manuscripts. He took pains to read carefully from beginning to end and wrote a preface. In his preface, he said that young people should have the spirit of sitting on the bench. 65438-0982 We went to the United States to attend the seminar on Zhu Thought, which was also the first time that scholars of humanities and social sciences went to the United States. At that time, 87-year-old Mr. Feng Youlan also went with us. Mr. Ren is our team leader. He not only takes care of the older Mr. Feng, but also takes care of our young scholars.
Gentleman's demeanor is the virtue of working all day. Teacher Ren is very elegant, gentle, gentlemanly and moral. He worked hard all his life and devoted himself to it. He is over 70 years old, and he is the director of the National Library. He goes to work like ordinary people every day. Not only that, he still insists on reading and writing every day after his busy work, and writes more than 200 thousand words every year. He often said: My time is my academic life. ?
The spirit of Excellence. Mr. Ren always strives for perfection in his work, writing articles and compiling books. Everyone says there is nothing wrong, but there are few mistakes in the books compiled by Mr. Ren, which can be seen from the history of China's philosophical development and China's Buddhist history. He has compiled many books in his life. I asked him: You have compiled so many books, can you finish them by yourself? I not only read it, but also read it word for word. If I find any mistakes, I will ask them to correct them immediately. ? Therefore, we can get a lot of benefits from reading his History of the Development of China Philosophy. Teacher Ren's Excellence is not only manifested in the technical level, but also in his in-depth study of the academic itself, continuous discussion, continuous listening to everyone's opinions, so that his views are constantly improved. This spirit is very important for us young people to do academic and research work.
Innovative spirit. Whether there is innovative spirit is the key to the continuation of scholars' academic life, and being a public servant is very admirable. 1982, at the seminar of Zhu thought, he presented a paper, saying that Neo-Confucianism in Song and Ming Dynasties was a mature religion, and Confucianism should be a religion from pope to classic to ritual. This view was criticized by many people at that time. From this point, we can see his innovative spirit of not being afraid of criticism and questioning. Now many people are beginning to agree with him.
The altruistic spirit of thinking for others. He put the needs of young people and the cultivation of young people in the first place, so that our academic research can be continued, promoted and developed. We should also learn from his spirit.
Carry forward the patriotic spirit of Chinese culture. He has always been diligent and devoted, which is very important, because his patriotic spirit reflects his love and promotion of China culture. After the May 4th Movement, China culture was criticized. However, Rengong has always insisted on promoting Chinese culture. He has been doing this work since the 1960s. He began to compile the History of China Philosophy in 196 1, and paid great attention to the study of China traditional culture and Buddhism at that time. It is because of his high patriotism that he can do this.
These six points in Ren Gong are worth learning. Although he has gone, his spirit will remain in our hearts forever, and we will continue to move forward under his inspiration.
□ Albino (Professor, Department of Information Management, Peking University)
Has been holding national games and leading delegations.
It can be said that Mr. Ren and Mr. Ji represent an era. They are the representatives of this group of intellectuals from the mid-1930s to the mid-40s of last century. With the death of two predecessors, this era has basically passed.
Speaking of Mr. Ren's academic contribution, I summed up two sentences, namely? Sort out the history of Confucian classics and weigh Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism. ? So-called? Is it neat? Is to rearrange hundreds of classics and history in a new way. And then what? Weigh Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism? It means that he evaluates and translates Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism one by one, and finds the internal relations between them and connects them. He is the only one who can do it.
Him? Have been holding national games and leading delegations? . Is Teacher Ren a liberal arts student? Commander in chief? He has been in charge of major cultural projects in most countries, such as the Tripitaka (edited and the sequel is being edited), and Mr. Ren has led it for almost 30 years. What else is there? Re-education in the Twenty-fourth History was also presided over by Mr. Ren. Ongoing projects, such as his eight-volume History of Buddhism in China, have only published three volumes; The multi-volume edition of the History of China's Philosophy has just begun to be produced; ? The twenty-four histories are also presided over by him. Others, such as the draft of Qing history, also have a team led by Mr. Ren. What is the biggest relationship with the National Library? Ancient Books Protection Center? It is also a project led by Mr. Ren, which is about the protection of ancient books, the identification of national treasures and the restoration of damaged ancient books. In this process, he led a group of intellectuals trained by the Party in the 1950s.
As a leader, he is a real leader, not just in name. Often do both government guidance and enterprise guidance. He not only guides the main principles and policies and some specific operation methods, but also often conveys the guidance of each project to middle-level and above cadres. I myself often get personal guidance from Mr. Ren in the revision of China Grand Ceremony. Because he did it himself, he also won everyone's unanimous respect and love.
As a leader, he knows people well and makes good use of them. The cadres he promoted are generally politically reliable and professionally competent. He is very concerned about his cadres. Not only ask about their business, but also care about their living conditions. These careful concerns often make people feel very warm and moved.
After he became the curator of the national map, he made the national map very lively. He made many suggestions. Ancient Books Protection Center? This is the project he won from the Ministry of Culture. This project not only enlivens the national library, but also benefits many public libraries in China. Now this project is still in progress.
Mr. Ren always helps his friends wholeheartedly. Mr. Ren and the late Professor of Minzu University of China are both graduate students of National Southwest United University. At that time, Mr. Ma was going to study and study in minority areas to prepare his master's thesis. At that time, during the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression period, he went to the Yi area, which was very poor. Not only is he unable to eat and wear, but the local people are not friendly to him. Teacher Ma couldn't hold on, so she kept writing to Teacher Ren, saying that she couldn't hold on and wanted to give up. Mr. Ren kept writing letters to encourage him to persevere. At the same time, he immediately brought a lot of food and daily necessities and hired a little donkey to send it to him. It was also Ren Zhengfei's encouragement that made Ma Yun persist. Later, Mr. Ma wrote a paper, because half of it was in Yi language, and no one recognized it, only an outline was issued. The book was subsequently shelved. Finally, Mr. Ma himself was desperate, but Mr. Ren never gave up. He has been running around trying to get it published. It was with the help of Mr. Ren that this book was finally published one month before Mr. Ma's death and won the National Book Award. From this incident, we can see the sincerity of being a teacher to friendship. And this kind of thing, Mr. Ren has done a lot.
□ Fang (Professor of China Renmin University)
Educate the younger generation with patriotism.
Ren Lao is a man who attaches great importance to practice and has made great contributions to China's academic culture. His contribution is mainly manifested in four aspects.
One is religious studies. He is a pioneer of modern religion in China. He studied religious issues with historical materialism, opened up a new direction and a new world, and influenced a generation. He himself has made many achievements in Buddhism and was praised by President Mao Zedong.
The second is the history of China's philosophy. The History of China Philosophy edited by him in 1960s is the textbook of China Philosophy History in colleges and universities since the reform and opening up, with high quality and taste. As readers, we all read it carefully.
Third, it has made great contributions to the accumulation, development and popularization of culture. Under his auspices, the China Tripitaka with a total word number exceeding10000000 was completed in 107 years, and Sikuquanshu, one of the four collections of the National Library, was photocopied and published, while the reference books such as the Religious Dictionary and the Buddhist Dictionary filled the gap in the new China religion. During his 10 years as the director of the National Library, his contribution to the management of public libraries is also obvious to all. He has made his own contribution to the humanization and standardization of public library management.
Fourth, he has a lot to learn himself. He is very strict about his research. As far as I know, both Ren Lao and Ji Lao started working at four in the morning. There are very few such people now, and it is worth learning. It can also be seen from this that his achievements did not come out of thin air.
Ren Lao's innovative spirit is also worth learning. He translated Confucius four times and constantly revised the essence of the book, which showed his spirit of constantly thinking, reflecting on his past research results and constantly innovating.
Ren Lao works very hard and is an extremely dedicated elder. He is the president of China's philosophy history, and I am the executive vice president. As his assistant, I really appreciate his seriousness and responsibility for his work. He often takes the trouble to do everything himself.
Ren Lao's patriotism is worth learning. He loves his motherland very much and is very concerned about the present situation and dynamics of our country. Everything he said must be a national event. Especially for China's education, he is very caring and often educates us with patriotism.
□ Kui (former professor of literature and culture department of Shantou University and special researcher of Chaoshan Historical and Cultural Research Center)
His profound accomplishments in ancient literature are admirable.
Ren Lao made great contributions to China ancient literature. During the period of 1986, Shantou University plans to hold the first international symposium on Han Yu. The participating countries are experts from eight countries, including Britain and the United States, as well as Hongkong and Taiwan Province provinces, and I am the leader of the preparatory group. There were academic circles at that time? South Rao north season? Two contemporary masters of Chinese studies, as I call them. Who knows, Zong Qinghou replied that besides inviting him and Ji Xianlin, there must be another person to attend the meeting, and that is Ren. I am surprised that Ren is a master in the fields of religion and philosophy. How can he study Han Yuyou? With a hint of doubt, I sent an invitation to Ren.
I flew from Beijing to Guangzhou, and then I took a long-distance bus from Guangzhou to Shantou all day. When I saw Ren sitting on the roadside, his enthusiasm for academics made me admire the 70-year-old man in front of me. Teacher Ren's legs and feet were not good at that time, so he first asked her for advice on where to visit. The road conditions were not good at that time. To go to the Han Palace, Lingshan Temple and other places, there is no road at all in many places, so you have to walk with crutches. He said go: I've come a long way, and I will definitely go. ?
At that time, though? **? It has passed, but there is still no conclusion about the positioning of Han Yu in academic circles. At the meeting, Ren proposed to inherit the spirit of Han Yu from the perspectives of literature, philosophy and religion. Most people think that Han Yu is anti-Buddha, but in fact? What Han Yu opposed was the practice of Buddhism in that dynasty, not the root of anti-Buddhism. ? It was this meeting that laid the foundation for future generations to study Han Yu. Ren's views have stood the test of time and practice and are also tenable in academic circles.
Anyone who knows Ren knows that his real name is Ren, and later it was renamed Ren. I asked the old man the origin of the name, and the answer was: I was moved by Han Yu's patriotic spirit when I was young, so I changed my name? After recovery? .
? The decline of Wen Qi's eight generations drowned the world's discipline. ? Su Shi's "Chaozhou Hanwen Temple Monument" has a good evaluation of Han Yu, saying that he is ambitious, self-respecting, loyal to the monarch and patriotic, and his article is in tune with the times, and he advocates taking Ming Dow as the text and listening to complaints. He is the leader of the ancient prose movement. Scholars usually pay more attention to the first half of Su Shi's sentence? The decline of Wen Qi's eight generations? , but Ren values the second half? Dojo drowned in the world? In other words, Han Yuqi's works pay attention to people's livelihood and reality, and have the same feelings of worrying about the country and the people as Du Fu. Mr. Ren's inheritance from Han Yu comes more from his patriotism.
