Ye Shengtao's character evaluation

Mr. Ye Shengtao is a senior figure in China's literary and art circles and education circles. He is honest and polite. The famous poet Zang Kejia once said: "The five characters of gentleness, kindness, respect, frugality and letting are a kind of virtue in life. I think Mr. Ye has both." (Zang Kejia, Sina.com review)

Mr. Ye is open-minded and approachable, but he is strong, decisive and serious in handling matters. For example, when compiling lecture notes and writing teaching materials, he was not only dissatisfied that some people just copied them, but also pointed out that they must include his own research and his own experiences. This idea was a manifestation of his responsible spirit. Another example is the compilation of "Yindu", especially the compilation of "Yindu" for large books. Although many people know that it is beneficial to academic research, they feel that this is work for others after all, and they cannot bear the hard work and monotony of the work process. Reluctant to try.

Ye Lao once used the white text of the copperplate version of the Thirteen Classics of the Commercial Press as a base to compile a huge volume of "Yindu". When he first started, he was faced with many difficulties and lacked assistants. However, since he had determined that this was work that would benefit readers, he worked tirelessly for many months and never gave up halfway. This was another manifestation of his responsible spirit in his work.
