Let the students talk about the importance of studying humanities(以新冠疫情的防控工 作为例阐述学习人文学科、培养人文精神的重要性) Ⅱ. Ideological politics Discussion: The theme of Text A is about humanities. Please read the following sentences which introduce humanities (Renwen) in Chinese culture and answer the following question. 观乎天文，以察时变；观乎人文，以化成天下。 ——《周易•彖上》 By observing heavenly patterns, we can learn about the change of times; by observing human cultural patterns, we can educate the people and build a thriving, prosperous, and refined society. 夫玄象著明，以察时变，天文也；圣达立言，化成天下，人文也。达幽显之情，明 天人之际，其在文乎？ When the movement of celestial bodies is manifest, we can infer from it changes of the times, which is about the distribution and movement of celestial bodies as well as climate change. When sages disseminate their visions in writing to educate the people and build a thriving, prosperous, and refined society, that is about human culture. To learn about the actual changes of the visible and the invisible and the subtle relations between heaven and humans, it is essential to study both natural phenomena and human culture. Q: How do you understand Renwen based on traditional Chinese culture? How has the meaning of Renwen developed in modern days? Reference: Renwen encompasses the cultural and ethical progress created by rites, music, education, codes, and systems as well as a social order which is hierarchical but harmonious. Renwen is in contrast to Tianwen, the study of celestial bodies including the sun, moon, and stars. Renwen also refers to human affairs in general, that is, behaviors, customs, and the human state. Under the influence of Western culture in the modern period, Renwen has come to mean cultural phenomena in human society as well as the humanities, which are academic disciplines that study human culture such as history, philosophy, and literature concerned with human ideas and behavior.
