Professor Qian Dingping has strict dual academic training in science (mathematics) from Peking University and liberal arts (linguistics) from Fudan University. He has also taught in the science schools of European and American universities all year round. However, these experiences could not hide his literary talent. When he was at Peking University, he was deeply appreciated by Mr. Feng Zhi, the May Fourth poet and German master, and was hailed as one of the three talented men of Peking University. When he was a graduate student at Fudan University, he devoted himself to reading the original works of the American philosopher, linguist and computer science pioneer N. Chomsky. He went to the United States for research immediately after the reform and opening up. Later, he stayed in Europe for many years and held teaching positions in both the liberal arts and science faculties of the university, and became a legend for a while. In addition to "Selected Readings of Chinese Literature in German and English Translations", he teaches courses related to emerging cognitive sciences (Cognitive Sciences) related to computer science, such as artificial intelligence and computational linguistics, etc., and creates science-based essays. The novel teaching methods of Teaching Sciences as Liberal Arts have achieved good results.

A few years ago, Professor Qian often returned to China to live. He did not forget his "old love" and began to engage in literary creation. He writes novels, prose essays, semiotics, cross-cultural and foreign literature research, and occasionally tries literary translation from English, French and German. The German novel "The Reader" he translated has been a bestseller for several decades. One hundred thousand copies. Currently, Professor Qian is still studying the history of ancient China and is determined to trace the origin of the character of Chinese civilization and the DNA of Chinese history. He is about to publish "The Chi You Conjecture". In the past ten years, he has published more than 20 books and many articles in newspapers and magazines, totaling four to five million words.

In his spiritual work, Professor Qian focused on "opening up" various subjects, integrating liberal arts and sciences, integrating Chinese and foreign countries, and integrating science, art, literature, history, foreign languages, psychology and humanistic thoughts into one furnace . Therefore, when Professor Qian talks about university general education, his ability to have a far-sighted vision, a broad realm, and a comprehensive approach is naturally completely different. It is not like the current so-called "general reading books" where experts in various subjects still introduce a single subject separately, but focuses on the subjects, whether mathematics, physics, literature, art, physiology, psychology, etc., which seem to be very different. All come to it for a "complete break".

In particular, Professor Qian expanded the concept of synesthesia in psychology and proposed that synesthesia exists among various mental departments of human beings. He summarized it into the famous "Qian Synesthesia Theory", which is unique. , self-justifying. In recent years, Professor Qian has published many articles and given many speeches on various occasions. His audiences include government officials, national civil servants, college and middle school students and the general public. After listening to the lecture, the audience asked Professor Qian to sign books for further reading. Professor Qian’s speech was both exciting and vivid, focusing on the following three aspects:

1) Weird and weird, all connected: the various mental departments of human beings are as diverse as each other, but they are all connected. They can make ends meet and invent each other;

2) Different learning, but common beauty: No matter literature, art or natural science, they all have the same beauty-making mechanism and aesthetic taste. Studying for the sake of pursuing the same beauty will be full of fun, and working for the pursuit of the same beauty will get twice the result with half the effort;

3) "Synesthesia" of all things is the source of innovation: learning and work are both It is for innovation. Innovation in a certain field is the goal of life and the need of the current society, but the key is to seek "syneraesthesia" at the intersection of multiple disciplines.
