2000年新世纪到来,我以人类需求对历史作了一个划分。我以为公元2000年以往的时代是一个身时代,而此后的时代是一个心时代。我之所以将以往命名为身时代,是因为在过去的几千年里,人类基本关注的是人的身体需求、生理的满足。人类的思想和勤奋绝大部分都集中在以科学发明和制造产生物质来满足人的生理需要,满足人的衣、食、住、行的需要。丰衣足食是以往几千年来人类所追求的最伟大的、最理想的生活目标之一。 In the new century of 2000, I made a division of history by human needs. I think that the era of the year 2000 will be an era, but the era after that is a time of heart. The reason why I named the past as a body time is that the basic human concern for the past few thousand years is the human body’s needs and physiological satisfaction. Much of human thought and diligence have focused on the scientific creation and production of materials to meet the physiological needs of human beings and meet the needs of human beings’ clothing, food, shelter and transportation. One of the greatest and most ideal life goals pursued by mankind in the past thousands of years has been abundant clothing and enough food.
