Professor Yin Pi'an, deputy dean of the bet365 of Humanities and Foreign Languages of Xi'an University of Technology and an expert in reviewing the National Social Science Fund and the Shaanxi Provincial Social Science Fund, was invited to give a speech entitled "A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step - my opinion on the application for the National Social Science Fund"
Professor Yin Pi'an introduced Mao Zedong's poem "Seven Rhythms: The People's Liberation Army Occupies Nanjing" and analyzed the poet's spirit of "far-sightedness, unconventional innovation, freedom of expression, and high spirits", and proposed that project applicants must have "talent, courage, and knowledge" The character of "being honest and being honest and doing things in a down-to-earth manner" calls on all scholars to "be honest and honest."
Professor Yin shared his own experience in applying for a topic and explained the principles of topic selection—it must be able to answer "what to do, what is the research object, what is the method, and what problem is ultimately solved." Regarding innovation and novelty, we can start from the four aspects of "new theories, new angles, new methods, and new materials", and know how to combine "academic needs" with "social needs".
"The road is long and long, and I will search up and down." Professor Yin's academic growth path inspires every young and middle-aged teacher. Academic research cannot be achieved overnight and requires long-term thinking and tempering; subject application is not a day's work and requires long-term accumulation and polishing.
At the end of the lecture, Professor Li gave detailed answers to the questions raised by the teachers in the audience. The lecture, which lasted for one and a half hours, came to an end with warm applause.
