在文化发展中,钟摆的摆动经常太过激烈。中国文坛和学术界现在面临的一个危险就是,从新文化运动以来一直到改革开放,极端的反传统的意识曾风靡一时,现在则从一个极端走到了另外一个极端,就是生吞活剥地接受传统文化而过分地批判西方文化。我很希望中国人能够冷静地、批评性地看待中外文化传统,取精去糟。 In cultural development, the swing of the pendulum is often too intense. One danger the Chinese literary and academic circles now face is that from the time of the New Culture Movement through to the reform and opening up, the awareness of the extreme anti-tradition was all the rage. Now it has gone from one extreme to the other, that is, extremism and acceptance of traditional culture Criticize Western culture. I very much hope that the Chinese people can calmly and critically view the traditions of Chinese and foreign cultures and take good care of them.
