This article about expanding knowledge is Liang Qichao's speech to the students of Shanghai Chinese Vocational School. Shanghai Zhonghua Vocational School is a secondary specialized school famous for testing, summarizing and popularizing vocational education in China's modern history.
The school takes Huang Yanpei's motto of "respecting workers and music groups" as its motto, advocates "using both hands and brains" and "both hands should be hard", pays attention to integrating theory with practice, attaches importance to productive labor practice and professional ethics training, and emphasizes the connection between education and society.
At that time, after numerous political turmoil, the author withdrew from politics and went to Europe to inspect and learned many problems and disadvantages of western society. After returning home, he declared that western civilization had gone bankrupt and advocated promoting traditional culture and saving the world with the "inherent civilization" of the East, so he wrote this article.
It is precisely because the author has rich life experience and broad cultural vision that his views are profound and philosophical, shining with wisdom, and it also explains the reasons why the author respects traditional culture from the side.
