Qiu Chengtong: Doing the knowledge that can be handed down must have a deep cultural foundation

As French writer Fulou Bye said: "Science and art break up at the foot of the mountain and meet on the top of the mountain." The essence of science and art is organized from the chaotic phenomenon, and the laws and laws are displayed in the form of beauty in front of people's eyes. Essence Professor Qiu Chengtong, the famous mathematician, the first Chinese winner of the Phils Award, the director of the Qiu Chengtong Mathematics Center of Tsinghua University, and the dean of the Tsinghua University Professor Qiu Chengtong. "Doing a good knowledge must have the foundation of culture." Mr. Qiu Chengtong repeatedly proposed that good cultural accomplishment can not only cultivate people's will, but also benefit scientific research.

Qiu Chengtong, academician of the National Academy of Sciences, academicians of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, Foreign Academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Foreign Academician of the Russian Academy of Sciences, and academician of the "Chinese Academy of Sciences". He is currently a professor at Tsinghua University, Director of Qiu Chengtong Mathematics Center, Dean of the School of Shinzhi, and Dean of the Academy of Applied Mathematics of Beijing Yanqi Lake. He has won the Phils Award, the MacArthur Award, the Klawford Award, the Wolf Mathematics Award, and the Marcel Grossman Award, becoming the only mathematician to win these five world top science awards. He actively cares about the education and research of Chinese mathematics and has made great contributions to the promotion of China's mathematics cause.

The world of tourism and science, doing handycles

Mr. Qiu Chengtong read the classics of Chinese literature and history with his father since he was a child. He also dazzled western philosophy. He liked to recite poetry and read history. His father would also inspire him to think about philosophy issues. The nourishment of Chinese and Western cultures not only shaped Mr. Qiu Chengtong's character, but also deeply affected his attitude, perspective, and temperament of his knowledge. When he was young, his father quoted a paragraph in "The Dragon of Wen Xin" and taught him:

Hey! Body and Shi Yan, Zhizong Dao Shen!

The bid is above the eternal, and it is sent below the thousands of years!

In his father's teachings, Mr. Qiu Chengtong understood what an immortal science was: "In life, sometimes, but our philosophy, our doctrine can be restricted by time. Pass our thoughts to a thousand years! "

Create the knowledge that can be handed down is Qiu Chengtong's understanding of "sending thousands of years", and it is also the right way to learn in his mind. He pointed out in blood that he may not be able to determine the work of scholars to be passed down. Being able to discover the true and beauty given to us in nature can be called a pioneering scholar. The more a scholar's research can express the content and perfection of nature, more people will learn, and learning will naturally be passed down.

Mr. Qiu Chengtong quoted Mencius's "I am good at raising my vastness" and pointed out that the seeds of university questions must be stimulated in order to see far, so that they can last long, and they are not afraid of failure. He said that he read classical literature and was moved by Sima Qian's determination and perseverance to write "Historical Records", and he got the cleansing of the soul from it.

In the realm of learning, Mr. Qiu Chengtong was inspired by Mr. Wang Guowei, one of the four mentors of Tsinghua University. Mr. Wang Guowei quoted the first realm of learning to learn "Last night's West wind withered blue trees, looking on a high -rise building, looking at the end of the world." Mr. Qiu Chengtong was deeply touched by this. He said that looking at the great achievements in ancient and modern knowledge, they were completed on the shoulders of the giant. In addition, to do university questions not only to climb high, but also have different opinions to accept different opinions.

He described his mood in mathematics research with what Mr. Wang Guowei said. "Last night, the west wind was withered, and the high -rise buildings were on the high -rise building. I hope to find a high point at the beginning to form a transparent understanding of the entire problem. "Sleeping and going to work abandoned; at the end," Looking back, the man is there, the lights are in a hurry. "

He quoted Qu Yuan's poem describing himself to study Clarby's guessing these geometric problems.

Yue Yu's heart is good, although he died nine and he did not regret it.

After Karabi guessed, he also used two Songs to express his mood:

The flowers are independent, and the rainwans fly double.

In addition to studying mathematics, it is also a great pleasure for Mr. Qiu Chengtong to use poetry to write lyrics. His poems and works not only expressed his strong affection, love, friendship, and family conditions, but also thought about the aesthetics of academics, life, and thousands of worlds.

True and beauty of mathematics

---

The literature, mathematics, and science in Mr. Qiu Chengtong's eyes are the resonance of human heart and nature, and to study the beauty of nature from different perspectives. He believes that mathematics is unique. It is a science that seeks the truth of nature, but mathematicians are also creative like writers and are created by hobbies. Therefore, this mathematics can be described as a bridge for humanities and natural sciences.

Mr. Qiu Chengtong believes that the true of mathematics is to explore the truth of nature.

He enumerated the major mathematicians of all ages: "For example, Achimede, Newton, whether it is natural as the sect, and seeing the psychicism of the image, that is, the creation of the calculus. Sexual inventions are also caused by exploring the phenomenon of nature. "Mr. Qiu Chengtong also took literary works as an example. It pointed out that" Dream of Red Mansions "describes the corruption of the family, the helplessness of society, and the helplessness of youth. And good mathematics should also be able to expose the phenomenon of nature in nature, so as to go deep and can be passed down. In his own research and struggle, he also does not engage in too abstract mathematics, and is always willing to retain the truth and beauty of nature.

Mr. Qiu Chengtong must have righteousness, irony, and Bi Xing as an example to propose mathematics. When we seeks truth, we can often only move forward with our own experience, because of the general direction of research, and our feelings of nature. This feeling is quite subjective and depends on personal cultural accomplishment. Therefore, cultural heritage plays an important role in the research direction of scientists looking for valuable research.

Mr. Qiu Chengtong appreciates the simplicity of mathematics.

He said: "The literary talent of mathematics is manifested in conciseness, and a few words can tell the laws of different phenomena, and even play a role in nature. This is the place where mathematics is elegant and beautiful." He also unified the beauty of mathematics and literature. Get up: "The simple and powerful theorem makes people happy, just like reading the Book of Songs" The Analects of Confucius ", short and profound words." He counts the axioms of Eushi geometry, Descartes created analytical geometry, Newton, Leibuni The calculus of Izon, to the internal geometry created by Gaussia and Rieman, and then to modern geometry that combines the water and milk with physics, it is believed that these mathematical research is simple and rich in the ancestors. A literary creation.

"I hope‘ Nature ’became your only goddess.”

—— Auguste Rodin

Mr. Qiu Chengtong was also inspired by the sculptor Rodin's will. In his opinion, Rodin taught us more than more than art. Each of his words can be used in the innovation of scientific research, encouraging us to find nature with sincere and simple feelings Beautiful and true of nature.

"Tongcai" education can cultivate masters

Mr. Qiu Chengtong's emphasis on human education is reflected in his "talent" education concept. He said that only countries with generous cultural accumulation can cultivate first -class mathematicians.

Mr. Qiu Chengtong and the students in Tsinghua Garden

Mr. Qiu Chengtong noticed that China lacked human education in talent training. He said that today's theoretical scientists are not comparable to the world's most advanced level. One important reason is that our scientists have insufficient humanistic cultivation, and their true and beautiful feelings for nature are not rich enough. He pointed out that this feeling is actually common for scientists and writers. Our Chinese nation is an emotional and deep nation, but our scientists do not pay much attention to humanistic cultivation. Our educational policy is using some simple education to replace important Chinese and history.

The education of his youth affected Mr. Qiu Chengtong's life: "The ancient Chinese classics and literature provided the norms of my life and cultivated my temperament. From the historical fact, I learned to deal with it when doing things and studying learning. The way to advance and retreat. As for philosophy, especially Greek philosophy, I always think about the macro of learning! "

Because of this, Mr. Qiu Chengtong proposed the concept of "Tongcai" to cultivate the development of mathematics basic disciplines at the beginning of the founding of Tsinghua University, deeply cultivating basic disciplines, and at the same time penetrated other disciplines, compatible and accumulating. At present, the college not only offers basic courses such as mathematics, physics, but also set up general courses such as "History of Mathematics", "Lonely Mind in the Universe", "Aesthetic Practice of Calligraphy Art", and "Seeking True Lecture Hall" and "History of Science" Wuling in a series of generals lectures.

The college of seeking the college is "seeking the places of heaven and man, and expanding the minds of all ages." Mr. Qiu Chengtong hopes that young students will broaden their hearts and pay attention to grand issues.EssenceHe hopes that the students in the true academy will become a world -class mathematical talent with deep heritage in the future and truly do the knowledge of the world.At 19:00 on September 22, Professor Qiu Chengtong was a guest in the Tsinghua Tsinghua Forum to share with you "Learning" Ask "" "
