Personal opinion: Ji Xianlin’s main research directions when he was young were Buddhism, Indian culture, and Sino-Indian exchanges , various foreign languages, and studied Chinese studies in a macro direction in his later years, but not in depth, so the title of "Master of Chinese Studies" is not appropriate. He himself also realized this, so the "three-word laurel", this is Ji Lao's What’s valuable: Seeking truth from facts and daring to tell the truth.
