Su Shi and Zhu Xi

Su Shi and Zhu Xi examines and draws on the meaning and value of history from a different angle, a different perspective and a different tone. In the study of ancient Chinese intellectuals, people paid more attention to their thoughts, doctrines, works, experiences, and achievements, and rarely and seriously analyzed or described their mentality. This flaw undoubtedly left the blank part in history and culture. History is, in a sense, the history of the human soul, how to describe the trajectory of the development of the human mind in fresh and refined way may be the work that a new generation of scholars need to undertake.
