Su Li wrote in the first issue of the Open Times journal in 2021 that the tradition of Chinese literature and history has been developing, continuing and changing. Before modern times, the tradition of literature and history was the ideological and cultural product of agricultural civilization. But this tradition is unlikely to be widely, effectively and successfully applied to the study of China and the world we face today. From an abstract point of view, family, country and the world mean that people usually live in three communities: neighborhood Community, political community and civilization community. This is not only a framework for researchers to understand the life world of ordinary people, but also a framework for researchers to organize and structure the relationship between various civilizations on the earth. From the Chinese tradition of literature, history and philosophy, it is possible to go beyond the method to the theory. China's research should not stop at "inheriting the unique learning for the sake of holiness". It should follow the pragmatic tradition of ancient China, face social problems, re-examine and promote China's cultural and historical tradition and develop China's social sciences by emphasizing experience and consequences.
