季羡林在《我看北大》一文中说,前几年,我们中国学术界提出了一个口号:弘扬中华民族优秀文化。这个口号提得正确,提得及时,立即得到了全国的响应。所谓“弘扬”,我觉得,有两方面的意义:一个是在国内弘扬,一个是向国外弘扬。二者不能偏废。在国内弘扬,其意义之重要尽人皆知。我们常讲“有中国特色”的,这“特色”无法表现在科技上。即使我们的科技占世界首位,同其他国家相比,也只能是量的差别,无所谓“特色”。“特色”只能表现在文化上。这个浅近的道理,一想就能明白。我们的语言,我们的方法,我们的绘画,我们的音乐,我们的饮食,我们的社会风习,我们的文学创 Ji Xianlin said in “I look at Peking University,” a few years ago that our Chinese academic community put forward a slogan: Carry forward the excellent Chinese culture. This slogan was correct, timely and promptly received a nationwide response. The so-called “carry forward”, I think, has two meanings: one is carried forward in the country, one is to promote abroad. Both can not be neglected. Carry forward in the country, its significance is well-known. We often say “with Chinese characteristics”, this “characteristic” can not be expressed in science and technology. Even if our science and technology occupy the first place in the world, it can only be compared with other countries in terms of quantity and does not matter. “Features” can only be manifested in culture. This superficial truth, one can understand. Our language, our methods, our paintings, our music, our diet, our social habits, our literary creation
