in the main lecture session, professor yang lihua talked about mr. tang yijie's academic journey and philosophical thinking in the new century from five aspects: the reawakening of chinese traditional spirit, "inner transcendence" and the basic character of chinese civilization, the conflict or harmony of civilizations, the proposal of chinese hermeneutics and the "confucian collection" project, and the philosophical expectations of the new axial age.

professor yang lihua pointed out: "the basic foundation of mr. tang's thought is the spirit of fair rationality, and the systematic acceptance of dialectical materialism determines the direction of mr. tang's thinking. mr. tang tried to integrate traditional and modern thoughts into a comprehensive system, and has always been concerned about the construction of systematic philosophy, but he did not adopt the writing method of systematic philosophy: on the one hand, this is because he has concerns about the drawbacks of systematic writing, and on the other hand, it is because mr. tang began to think deeply about how to generate universal human values ​​from traditional chinese philosophy in his last few years, which is closely related to his exploration of creating a true chinese hermeneutics. mr. tang's thought is an interpretive and systematic synthesis. although this synthesis of thought has not been completed, it has pointed out a clear direction for later thinkers."
