its real problem is its counter-revolutionary method. in the West, classics gave rise to the hermeneutic method that has impacted all kinds of disciplines, including social sciences and literary criticism. (the pivotal figures in this transition include St. Augustine, Vico, Dilthey, Weber, Foucault, and the late Ricoure). but in China, classical studies have failed to make their methodological impacts on what is relevant to the social and political problems. the losers of nationalist antiqueism are just losers. fond of etymological digging, just like this 7yue liuhuo case. they are digging their own tomb. no longer relevant to the social reality of China. that is all.
