In a world obsessed with ChatGPT and quantum computing, an Italian scholar is making waves by championing Classical Chinese as essential learning. 🎓 Tiziana Lippiello, rector of Venice’s Ca' Foscari University, dropped this truth bomb at the Global Civilizational Dialogue Ministerial Meeting: "All our Chinese studies students must learn Classical Chinese—even in the age of AI!"
But why study 2,500-year-old texts when robots can translate them? 🤖 Lippiello argues that decoding ancient philosophy and poetry builds critical thinking and cultural empathy—skills no algorithm can replicate. 💡 Think of it as mental yoga for navigating our hyper-connected, meme-driven world. 🧘♂️📱
This isn’t just about dusty scrolls. From Sun Tzu’s Art of War inspiring Silicon Valley strategies to Confucian ethics shaping sustainable business models, Classical Chinese ideas are trending globally. 🌐✨ As Lippiello puts it: "The future needs bridges between civilizations—not just faster tech."
So next time you’re doomscrolling TikTok, remember: your next big idea might be hiding in a Tang Dynasty poem. 🍃📜
