Personal contribution

Qian Zhongshu observes China and the world with the spirit of cultural criticism. On the basis of knowing China culture and surveying the world culture, Mr. Qian observed Chinese and western cultural things, and always kept a clear head and profound insight. He does not reject any theory, nor does he blindly follow any authority.

He not only criticized China people's conceit of local culture due to some fantasies, but also ruthlessly swept away the ignorance and prejudice of westerners centered on European and American cultures. Mr. Qian has played a very good role in promoting cultural exchanges between China and foreign countries, letting China people know about western learning, and letting westerners know about China culture.

Anecdotes of characters

Qian Zhongshu once wrote an epitaph of a large rural family for his father. Occasionally, he heard his father praise the article to his mother. This is the first time Qian Zhongshu heard his father praise him, and he almost jumped for joy. In his later years, Jiang Yang recalled that Qian Mu's Introduction to Chinese Studies 193 1 was published by the Commercial Press, and he asked Qian Jibo to make a preface. Qian Jibo asked Qian Zhongshu to ghostwrite. After the preface was written, my father did not change a word. When Introduction to Chinese Studies was published, no one saw that this preface was written by a young man who just turned 20.
