The Reasons for Qian Mu's Setting up a Chapter for Chen Li in his Chinese Academic History in Almost Three Hundred Years.

As an ordinary Confucian from cradle to grave, Chen li didn't play an important role in the academic history like Kang You wet in late Qing dynasty. Qian mu set up a chapter for Chen li and showed "a very admiring meaning" in his Chinese Academic History in Almost Three Hundred Years. This reflected Qian mu's subjective judgment for academic contexts. The reasons are various. ()n the one hand, there exist time similarities of Chen li and Qian mu, that is, they are in special times of study change. On the other hand, it is due to a high social sense of Qian mu, because Chen It's advocating for a new style of study complies with Qian mu's earnest hope of "seeking talents, reincarnation luck".
