Liberal arts are definitely not useless, only ungrounded literati are useless.
Personal thoughts after reading: First, compared with ordinary literati in the Tang and Song Dynasties, the Eight Great Masters of the Tang and Song Dynasties generally had a high level of structure and paid great attention to real life. No one was limited to his own one-third of an acre. Whether he was in a temple or a field, he always had the safety of the country and the joy and sorrow of the people in his heart. Second, the Eight Great Masters never wrote articles to show off their literary talents, but to solve practical problems. Whether they were discussing politics, reading history, travel notes, or epitaphs, they were all intended to solve practical problems in the country's social life, or at least to draw some truths about life. Third, the eight major universities attach great importance to talent cultivation, and naturally also attach great importance to education, and attach great importance to the changes in social thought. For example, Han Yu advocated anti-Buddhism, and San Su opposed the Xikun style writing style without true feelings. They all advocated that literature should be used to convey things and literature should be used to convey Tao. The above three points are of great significance to how today's liberal arts students can learn and make good use of the humanities. In fact, liberal arts are definitely not useless. What is useless is only literati who are not grounded.
👍, I like Han Yu and Ouyang Xiu the most! Su Shi's writing is superior to quality and flowing, but Su Shi's free and easy character makes the core depth of the article probably slightly lower than the previous two. Personal opinion.
