Liu Mengxi studied literature in his early years, including China classical literature and modern and contemporary literature, while studying literary theory and literary thought history; Later, he turned to the study of cultural history, academic history and modern academic trend of thought, paying attention to contemporary cultural construction and cultural criticism. Mr. Liu is famous for his rigorous style of study and clear thinking. He has published works in various academic fields and is an influential scholar of literature, history and culture.

Its research scope is mainly found in the following academic fields, which is problem-oriented.

First, the study of traditional culture and the reconstruction of cultural traditions. This is an academic field that Mr. Liu has devoted himself to in recent ten years. He has published dozens of monographs, such as Characteristics and Value Orientation of China Traditional Culture, Loss and Reconstruction of China Cultural Tradition in a Hundred Years, Belief and Characteristics of China Culture, Contemporary China and Traditional Culture, Reconstruction of Etiquette and Cultural Tradition, Cultural Consciousness and Beauty, and Research on China Traditional Culture. He has made academic speeches on this topic for many provincial, municipal and ministerial leading cadres and cultural forums. Misunderstanding of Tradition, Master and Tradition, and Crazy Spirit of China Culture are representative works in this respect. The monograph Crazy Spirit of China Culture, published by Sanlian Bookstore in 20 12, opened up a new field of ideological and cultural research, and it was printed twice in one year and became an academic bestseller.

Second, the study of Chinese studies. Mr. Liu systematically discussed the history of the origin, occurrence, development and evolution of Chinese studies, and the relationship between Chinese studies and other disciplines. Advocating the "slimming" of Chinese studies, opposing the virtual fever of Chinese studies, reinterpreting the definition of Chinese studies, holding that Chinese studies should focus on Confucian classics and primary schools, and agreeing with Mr. Ma Yifu's academic thought that Chinese studies are the "study of six arts"; It is suggested that elementary schools, middle schools and freshmen and sophomores of universities should offer Chinese studies courses with the Six Classics as the main content, starting with The Analects of Confucius and Mencius, and learning step by step for a long time, so that the spiritual meaning of the Six Classics can become the cultural identity symbol of Chinese children. On Sinology published by Shanghai People's Publishing House and Sinology and Redology published by Shanghai Dictionary Publishing House are representative works in this field. In addition, more than 20 monographs, such as Analysis of the Meaning of Sinology, Sinology and the Study of Six Arts, Sinology and Poetics, Sinology and National Education, and Ma Yifu and Sinology, have been published in Guangming Daily, Wen Wei Po, People's Political Consultative Conference, Shanghai Social Sciences and other journals successively, thus establishing exclusive sinology theories.

Third, the research on the reconstruction of cultural values. In view of the lack and disorder of current social values, and how to use China's traditional values today, Mr. Liu has conducted an in-depth study on this issue. He reinterpreted the cultural connotation of values such as respect, forgiveness, harmony and shame, and put forward that respect is the ultimate moral value of social ethics and entered the belief dimension of China culture. It also studies the value correlation of respect, sincerity and faith, and holds that the main ideological principles of the Six Classics and Confucius and Mencius are respect, sincerity and faith. He has published many papers and speeches, such as Respect is the Ultimate Value of China Culture, The Modern Significance of China's Traditional Cultural Values, How to Make China's Traditional Cultural Values Serve the Present. On August 23rd, 20 12, the Shanghai Social Sciences Journal published "How to Fill the Missing Value of the Times —— An Interview with Liu Mengxi, Director of the Institute of Chinese Studies of the Chinese Academy of Arts", and on February 22nd, 20 13, the China Culture Journal published "Rebuilding the Belief Dimension of China Culture —— Dialogue with China Culture Newspaper" (the full text was reproduced by Xinhua Digest). This research has made personal efforts to restore and rebuild the spiritual tradition of China culture.

Fourth, the study of academic history and ideological history. This is the field that Teacher Liu has devoted himself to for many years. Academic thoughts and figures, Zhuangzi and modernity and post-modernism, desolation and self-confidence of modern civilized order in China (academic interviews and dialogues), etc. It's a work in this field. There is also the cultural ideal of "Four Sentences Teaching in Hengqu", the trip to Bailudong Academy, the Chinese translation of Buddhist Scriptures and China's stylistic changes, the role of Tang Ruowang in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the significance of Wang Xue, the new learning in the late Qing Dynasty and the cultural balance in social changes-another reflection on the May 4th cultural enlightenment.

Fifth, the study of China's modern academic thought since the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China. This research began in the early 1990s. In seven years, Mr. Liu presided over the compilation of China Modern Academic Masterpieces, which collected 44 works of 20th century humanities academic masters with 35 volumes and 25 million words. It was published as 1997 and won the China Book Award. The preface written by Mr. Liu is 60 thousand words long. The Chinese Reading Newspaper was first published in four full pages with the title "An Introduction to Modern China". At the suggestion of Li Zehou, a seminar was specially held, attended by famous scholars Dai Yi, Tang, Li Zehou, Li and Yu Dunkang, and the discussion was heated. The Outline of Modern Academic History of China was updated and published by Sanlian Bookstore and became the first monograph on academic history of Mr. Liu. He also published monographs by Wang Guowei, Zhang Taiyan, Cai Yuanpei, Liang Shuming, Xiong Shili, Feng Youlan,, and Chen. In addition, there are many comprehensive papers, such as Cultural Entrustment and Modern Academic Tradition in China, Four Questions on Modern Academic Studies in China, Masters and Tradition, Wang Guowei, Chen and Modern Academic Studies in China, which have formed rich expositions in the field of modern academic research.

Sixth, Chen Yinque's research. Mr. Liu is a recognized expert in studying Chen Yinque in academic circles at home and abroad. He has studied Chen Yinke for more than 20 years, and has published more than 300,000 words, including Chen Yinke's Family Origin and Success in the Late Qing Dynasty, Chen Yinke's Academic Achievements and Research Methods, Chen Yinke and Writing Purport, Spiritual Implication of Chen's Academic Thought, Chen Jiaguo's Old Feelings and Ups and Downs, and Chen Hermeneutics. In the early 1990s, Mr. Ji Xianlin read Mr. Chen's long article "Academic Creation and Research Methods", which was considered as a "supreme article". Mr. Liu studies Chen. First, he studies with Wang Guowei. An academic predecessor called it "Wang Chen's co-governance". Secondly, he attached importance to Chen Xue's family tradition and combined it with the history of the late Qing Dynasty. Chen Baozhen and Hunan New Deal, a monograph published not long ago, is his latest achievement in studying the origin of Chen Jiaxue.

Seventh, Ma Yifu studies. The modern academic cases that Mr. Liu paid attention to were Wang Guowei, Chen Yinque and. I have a soft spot for Chen and Ma. There are more than100000 published papers about Ma Yifu, including Ma Yifu's cultural model significance, Ma Yifu's academic spirit and attitude towards learning, Ma Yifu and Six Arts Theory, Ma Yifu and Renaturation Academy, Ma Yifu's Buddhist realm and overseas friends, Xiong Shili and Ma Yifu, etc. It is pointed out that Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism are two pillars of horse learning, which will be used for life. In the article "The Significance of Cultural Model", he called Mr. Ma "the sage of Confucianism" and "the gentleman", and discussed his special position in the modern ideological and cultural history from the perspective of academic history.

Eighth, redology research. This is the field that Teacher Liu set foot in in his early years. His first paper on a Dream of Red Mansions was A New Theory of Exploring Spring, which was serialized in Guangming Daily 1964. At that time, he was 23. Later, I often want to say goodbye, but there are not a few works about A Dream of Red Mansions, such as A New Theory of A Dream of Red Mansions, A Dream of Red Mansions and a Hundred Years of China, Asking about the Red Mansion, The Peony Pavilion and A Dream of Red Mansions. , and edited Selected Papers on A Dream of Red Mansions in Thirty Years (three volumes, 1.8 million words, Baihua Literature and Art Publishing House), A Dream of Red Mansions and China in One Hundred Years, with 290,000 words, published by Hebei Education Publishing House, Central Compilation Publishing House and Fengyun Times Publishing House of Taiwan Province Province. It is a historical work that studies redology from the perspective of modern academic history. There should be no objection to saying that Mr. Liu is one of the red circle. One of the characteristics of his redology research is his tolerant attitude. He is detached from various schools of redology and has an objective position. So he claimed to like A Dream of Red Mansions rather than a Dream of Red Mansions. However, there is no lack of "prejudice" against the figures in the Red Chamber. They like Lin Daiyu so much that they don't like Xue Baochai so much that they suspect that Aunt Xue has ulterior motives.

Ninth, the magazine "China Culture" was founded and edited, with the aim of "deeply studying China culture, developing traditional specialties, exploring academic knowledge and attaching importance to humanistic care", and published simultaneously in mainland China, Hongkong and Taiwan Province Province. 1988 has been established for 25 years, and few scholars at home and abroad have not published articles in this magazine. "China Culture" was published by the post office, and the issue date was on time, and the number of subscriptions increased.

Tenth, "feelings of home and country." People who care about the trend of contemporary culture and the fate of mankind are deeply touched. Dialogue is the principle of human life (an impromptu speech at the Sino-American Cultural Forum at Berkeley University), and cultural differences should also be respected within a country. 2 1 century's challenge: introspection of Asian values, and the future direction of mankind: there will be no similarities, etc., explain theoretically that human similarities far outweigh differences.
