Shaanxi Bible College invited a scholar to give a lecture on "German Protestant Missionary Richard Wilhelm and the East to the West".
Dr. Ding Ruizhong, a researcher from the Shaanxi Academy of Social Sciences, last Wednesday introduced the life of Richard Wilhelm and his main work in China. Established by the missionary in Qingdao, the Deutsch Wilhelm Schule was known as one of the earliest middle schools in the history of Chinese education, training teachers for the Tengchow Boy's Boarding School in Qingdao. Through the establishment of the China Institute, various public reports and exhibitions related to Chinese culture were held in the form of lectures and various newspapers, covering many fields such as literature, art, painting, music, drama, and architecture, to help Westerners understand the connotation and meaning of Chinese culture. During this period, he met with a group of Chinese celebrities and intellectuals, according to Shaanxi Bible College.
In addition, the missionary wrote many books in his life, like compiling textbooks related to German and Chinese and a large number of books on Chinese cultural thoughts, with more than 200 articles published. His translations of ancient Chinese books, classical literature, poems, prose by philosophers and historical biography has enabled German readers to have a more comprehensive, profound and three-dimensional understanding of the images of China in many aspects and classic ideological works, contributing to the exchange of ideas, culture, painting, and art between China and the West. As this contribution has a lasting impact, no one has surpassed it in the German-speaking world.
At the end of the seminar, Ding played a Chinese traditional instrument, guqin solo, for the participants. After summarizing the lecture, Pastor Chen Dingliang, the school's deputy president, presented a book to Ding as a souvenir.

2021年4月7日，陕西圣经学校邀请陕西省社会科学院研究员丁锐中博士在做关于“德国新教传教士卫礼贤与东学西渐”讲座。
丁锐中博士首先介绍了德国新教传教士卫礼贤的生平及在中国的主要工作，之后，做了进一步的详细讲解。卫礼贤传教士在中国青岛创办的“礼贤学院”被誉为中国教育史上最早的中学之一，为青岛的蒙养学堂培养了教师；并通过创办中国学社，以演讲和各种报刊的形式，举办各种与中国文化相关的报告会和展览会，内容涉及文学、艺术、绘画、音乐、戏剧、建筑等诸多领域，以帮助西方人理解中国文化的内涵和意义；在此期间，卫礼贤接触了一批中国名人与知识分子。
此外，卫礼贤传教士平生著书立说诸多，如编写德汉语相关的教科书以及大量研究中国文化思想的著作，发表文章二百多篇，并且对中国古书、古典文学、诗歌、诸子散文、历史传纪进行翻译，使德国的读者更全面、深刻、立体地了解了中国多方面的形象及经典思想著作，为中西方思想、文化、绘画、艺术的交流作出了极大贡献。这贡献具有持续性的影响力，至今在德语世界无人超越。
讲座之末，丁锐中博士为大家演奏了中国传统乐器古琴独奏。 最后，由副校长陈鼎亮牧师总结，并向丁锐中博士赠书留念。
