“Bold assumptions, careful verification” is the famous saying of which famous scholar?

1. Hu Shi

2. Lao She

Correct answer: Hu Shi

Hu Shi emphasized that learning is a step-by-step process; He himself advocates "bold assumptions and careful verification." The second half of this sentence focuses on, whether it is studying science, studying Chinese studies, or studying the way of governing the country, what is needed is more patience and more caution.

Seeking truth from facts does not mean avoiding factual issues and talking about idealism, nor does it mean abandoning practical issues and rebuilding society. A practical spirit is needed to discover problems in facts and improve reality. This is Hu Shi's experimentalism.
