On Chen Yinke (I)

Through the evaluation of Chen Yinke' s academic achievements and perspective , the analyse of his personality and cultural choice , the discussion of some problems in his study and thorough evaluation , we' ve got a conclusion that Chen lived in a sharp conflict of ration and emotion where he could on one hand be pully aware of the historical fate of old chinese culture but on the other hand couldnot get rid of it . His Poems Collection and all his other works had revealed this point. His idea base did not lie in humanism but in nationalism. What he pursues was not the truth to all over the world but the uncurable principles limited in a certain time and area. Chen is not a true liberal but a firm conservative.
