January 30, 2024，Wang Mengqi, associate professor of the School of Liberal Arts of Northwest Normal University, gave an online academic lecture titled "The Ethical Dimension of Contemporary Literature and 188bet Criticism" for students of the School of Liberal Arts。The lecture was hosted by Professor Yang Tianhao of the School of Liberal Arts，More than 40 teachers and students from our school participated。
At the beginning of the lecture, Professor Wang 188bet said"What is ethics" introduces the topic，Explains the traditional Chinese meaning of the word "ethics" from a conceptual perspective，One is the "classification of things"，The second is "the principles of human ethics and morality"。This introduces the focus of this lecture，That is, "Several Aspects Involved in 188bet Ethics"。This lecture mainly discusses four aspects: "ethics in traditional Chinese literature", "ethical expressions in Western literature", "ethical exemptions in literature" and "writing about the body"。
Part 1 of Lecture，Professor Wang 188bet listed a large number of discussions on ethical issues in traditional Chinese literature。For example, in "The Chronicles of the Kingdoms of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty", Duke Xuan of Wei promiscuously married his daughter-in-law；The warning words in the fifth chapter of "A Dream of Red Mansions"；In the 42nd chapter of "Water Margin", Song Jiang was mentally recruited；"Historical Records·In "The Chronicles of the Great Ancestor", Liu Bang used his identity as a dragon to carry out an uprising。
Part 2 of Lecture，Wang 188bet’s lecture shifts from an Eastern perspective to a Western perspective，Taking the works of two great writers, Sophocles and Shakespeare, as examples, it is discussed that great works recognize the two sides of human nature or ethics。Mainly tells the ethical tragedy of Oedipus killing his father and marrying his mother in "Oedipus the King"，And the similar moral tragedy of Claudius killing his brother and marrying his wife in "Hamlet"。
Interactive part of the lecture，Professor Wang 188bet is enthusiastic、Answered students’ questions in detailQuestions on “188bet Ethics”, “Suffering Narrative” and “Ethical Criticism”。Professor Wang Mengqi thinks，“188bet ethics” is a very broad concept，Pay attention to refine concepts in study and research；Suffering narratives reflect more human nature，People-centered，For example, "Sandalwood Punishment" uses physical suffering to show human nature，So narrating suffering is not the same as praising suffering；“Ethical criticism” includes “moral criticism”。
final，Professor Yang Tianhao summarized this lecture and shared his personal experience，I think Professor Wang 188bet is rigorous in his scholarship、Teach seriously，Set a very good example for the students。Professor Yang Tianhao also used his own experience as an example，Remind students to pay attention to theoretical support during study，Anyway，This lecture successfully concluded with the enthusiastic response from the students。
