Abstract

Liang Shuming (1893–1988) is a scholar who had imposed great influence in the history of modern Chinese academic history. His discussion mainly focuses on the fields of Neo-Confucianism and the comparison of Chinese and Western cultures. In recent years, his theories and thoughts, especially those concerned with rural theoretical construction and rural practical construction, have been repeatedly discussed by other sociologists when studying Chinese sociology.
