Abstract

China’s Road is neither a political slogan nor a fashion tag; it has a rich meaning that deserves our in-depth thinking. The chapter is going to discuss the issue of China’s Road from four dimensions: Road, expression, method, and purpose. It is not meant to be comprehensive but to inspire further discussions and debates.

“Cultural Consciousness” was first proposed by Mr. Fei Xiaotong in the second seminar on socio-cultural anthropology organized by the Institute of Sociology and Anthropology of Peking University in 1997. The purpose was to respond to the inevitable development of globalization and to propose a solution for people relationships.

“China Studies” is a comprehensive discipline. It is similar to “American Studies,” “French Studies,” “German Studies,” and “Japanese Studies.” They are comprehensive areas of discipline and knowledge in regional studies that focus on political, economic, military, cultural, social, historical, and diplomacy in countries like China, the United States, France, Germany, Japan, and so on. In other words, it is a comprehensive research area that treats various fields and problems of a country as a whole. Its research methods are often multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary.

The author went to South Korea to participate in the Sino-Japanese-Korea academic symposium in 2013. He exchanged views with Professor Dae-Kyu Yoon, the Vice President of South Korea’s Kyungnam University, and Director of the Institute for Far Eastern Studies.

In the middle of the seventeenth century, French businessman M. Le Gendre responded to the question raised by Louis XIV’s Minister of Finance Jean Baptiste Colbert, “What is the best way to protect French business?” by “Freedom. Allowance” (Laissez-faire, Laissez-passer), which is translated into English as “leave us alone.”

In 1747, François Quesnay also put forward the idea of “freedom and laissez-faire” from the viewpoint of natural law in the second edition of Essai Physique sur l’Econolnie animale.
