Tobias Hirsch, a German researcher at Fudan University, has developed a deep passion for Chinese culture, immersing himself in ancient oracle bone scripts. These scripts, some of the oldest forms of Chinese writing, have captivated Hirsch and fueled his academic journey.
“In the 21st century, China and the West are collectively striving to revisit the brilliance of classical literature and rediscover the charm of traditional culture,” Hirsch said. His work symbolizes a global effort to reconnect with traditional roots and appreciate the cultural heritage that shapes modern societies.
Hirsch believes that studying ancient texts not only preserves history but also builds bridges between cultures. His dedication highlights a growing interest among Western scholars in Chinese classics, fostering mutual understanding and inspiring young people worldwide to explore their own cultural histories.
