The books we read, the works of art we appreciate, the houses we live in, and the languages ​​we speak—these components of modern life can all trace their roots back to ancient civilizations.

This shows the fact that ancient civilization is like a huge treasure, and almost many things in the modern world can be traced back to their origins. This is quite fascinating and worthy of in-depth consideration.

Classics was the foundation of humanities and elite education in Western civilization.

Classics contains many wonderful contents, such as the literature and philosophy of ancient Greece and Rome.

However, in modern society, it is looked down upon and ignored.

Many schools have cut related courses, and there are only a few learners.

The reason is that modern society values ​​practical subjects more.

The value of classics cannot be underestimated. It can help us deeply understand the foundation of Western culture.

If we pay attention to it again, we can greatly improve cultural literacy and other aspects.

In the field of economics, resources are limited but desires are unlimited. This issue makes different schools of thought have different views.

Adam Smith advocated complete openness of trade. This stemmed from the fact that he lived in an era of rapid development of British capitalism and witnessed with his own eyes the prosperity brought about by trade liberalization.

However, in the context of French agriculture's dominance at the time, the Physiocrats firmly believed that land was the fundamental source of wealth.

These different theories have special significance in different geographical and economic environments.

In the current market economy environment, we are trying to absorb the core ideas of different schools of thought and continue to seek the best strategy for resource allocation.

Unearthing our ancestral roots is important for us to understand the present and envision the future.

Regardless of whether historical events are glorious or not, they are all traces of time.

In the history of China, we know the rise and fall of each dynasty, from which we can gain valuable experience and lessons.

Every story and event that happens has the potential to influence the values ​​of our modern society.

Most of the customs and customs in ordinary people's daily lives are inherited from history.

Only by thoroughly exploring the fundamentals and not forgetting history can we better deal with current life and scientifically plan for the future.

There are many languages ​​in the world, each with its own unique charm.

Linguistics can help us explore language evolution.

For example, Latin gave rise to many modern European languages.

Language changes in different regions are also diverse.

In China, Cantonese, Hokkien, and Mandarin have their own unique pronunciation and vocabulary characteristics.

When we speak a language, we are in that cultural context.

Language contains the historical and cultural connotations of a place and a nation.

From this perspective, language is also a link between ancient and modern times.

Mythological stories mostly take place in the distant past or regions that cannot be tested.

Those idol images are very attractive, such as Thor, the god of thunder in Norse mythology, who possesses extremely powerful power.

Theology consists in studying the stories of faith etc. in a culture.

Modern people use mythological elements to name things to add romantic and beautiful meanings.

For example, many companies use names from mythological characters to reflect their yearning for grandeur and power.

Myths reveal another side of ancient people’s understanding of the world and human nature, and at the same time provide a key entrance for us to explore ancient culture.

Sociology focuses on modern society, exploring interpersonal relationships and social perspectives.

For example, in the process of urbanization, many people have moved from villages to cities, and their interpersonal relationships have changed from the original relationships of blood and acquaintances to diversified connections with strangers.

Under this change, new ethical and moral social concepts emerged.

At the same time, people from different cultural backgrounds gather together to create cultural blends and collisions.

The study of these relationships in sociology is extremely important for our understanding of the evolution and future development of society.

In today's rapidly developing era, we enjoy modern conveniences, but we cannot ignore the profound nourishment given to us by ancient civilizations.

Among the many disciplines and areas of life, which one do you feel is the most important for us to explore the connection between ancient and modern times?
