Time:May 26th (Friday) 19:30-21:00.
Location:Second Floor, Bund Art Museum, No.20 Huqiu Road, Huangpu District
Speaker:Xu Yingjin (Professor, School of Philosophy, Fudan University)
In contemporary times, Zen may not only be a distant thought in the mountains and forests, but also a way for us to break the artificial boundaries between ancient and modern, Chinese and foreign, arts and sciences, so as to gain true knowledge. Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance is a philosophical novel, which was popular in North America in 1970s and sought after by intellectuals in the English-speaking world. In the novel, the hero rides his son with his friends on a motorcycle, riding all the way from Minnesota to California, and thinking all the way. His own thinking about life and rich philosophical knowledge of the East and the West are forged between literature and ink. From the point of view of China readers, the book’s greatest feature lies in the blending of American mechanical culture and eastern Zen culture. The author tries to convince everyone that the process of disassembling the locomotive and carefully maintaining it is the best meditation, and the thinking mode of splitting arts and sciences is a betrayal of the Zen spirit.

Location:The Bund Art Museum, No.20 Huqiu Road, Huangpu District
Speaker:Dong Botao (Doctor of Classical Literature, Publisher, Cultural Scholar, China, Fudan University)
Antoine Boehlmann once said: "The purpose of translation is to open the relationship with others with words and enrich oneself through communication with foreign things, which is directly opposite to the ethnocentric structure of every culture and the narcissistic psychology that every society wants to be a pure whole without impurities." Perhaps translation, as an act of communication, can also be regarded as an art of expressing feelings. Because it is fun and meaningful, it is not translated; Because of difficulties, sometimes translation is also in vain; Because of hobbies and missions, white translation has to be translated. On May 27th, Dr. Dong Botao, Doctor of Classical Literature in China, Fudan University, will share with us his "translation" career.

Mozart was in the climax of the Enlightenment, but his understanding and expression of stubborn human nature and ill-fated fate was full of strong romantic rebellion and modern skepticism. Correspondingly, the music of Mozart’s opera, while maintaining his always flexible and elegant style, touched on the rare expression categories of violence, terror and "demons and monsters" in the 18th century.
The Contemporary Significance and Value of Shanghai Literature

Speaker:Wang Yonghao (Professor, Chinese Department, Fudan University)
To understand the significance and value of literature, we must first have an accurate understanding of the nature of literature. As a way to represent the free existence of human beings, literature can break through all kinds of restrictions in reality and achieve transcendence of the spiritual world. Of course, there are many ways to transcend, but the most fundamental and meaningful one is qualitative intervention. Only in this way can literature become the guardian of human value and the eternal sustenance of spirit. In this lecture, we are fortunate to invite Professor Wang Yonghao from the Chinese Department of Fudan University to tell us about the contemporary significance and value of literature.

Speaker:Liu Kexiang (writer, TV host)
The Pearl River Delta, where rivers and seas meet and river networks crisscross, has the unique features of a southern water town. Its green color is colorful and complicated, and its species are rich and diverse, which is completely different from other regions. But in the past, eco-tourism and traditional landscape painting were rarely used for analysis. Nowadays, the environmental pollution is serious, and the cultural relics in rural areas disappear rapidly. Through a higher perspective, we may be able to see another level of scenery by comparing the aesthetics of different regions. Liu Kexiang often travels around, goes deep into rural fields and traditional markets, and accumulates many unique observations. In this lecture, he will share stories from several different regions, and provide some life cases based on his own investigation and experience in different places and natural history, as an aesthetic comb.

The two cities show their cultural meanings in different contexts with their own scenery. The development of contemporary means of transportation has made Mu Xin’s so-called "slow in the past" out of reach and gradually like a myth. In an era when crossing borders is so simple, how many people can calm down, slow down, and cook a thought with a fine view?

Looking back on the long river of history, there are similarities between dynasties, from rise to decline, from awakening to self-help, as if history is repeating itself. In the historical imprint of the rise and fall, there are some people who are informal and willful, and are often pointed out by the world. We call them "crazy people", such as the seven sages of bamboo forest headed by Ji Kang, Li Bai of I am the madman of the Chu country and who sang a mad song disputing Confucius, and Zhang Taiyan, the first man of the Republic of China … They not only have narcissistic, lofty and arrogant personalities, but also seek consensus with the times and others. Behind the shocking remarks and wanton behaviors, they can still emerge from the mud without being stained, and face difficulties. On May 28th, Ma Yong and Meng Ze, famous scholars, visited the reading garden of Hunan Book City to talk about historical figures and historical changes.
