2005年,在美国宾夕法尼亚大学的图书馆,初到美国交流的四川外国语学院教授张涛偶然翻到了一份1743年的《纽约周报》——当时的美国还没有独立。这份内容简单的报纸只有4个小版,可占据整个头版篇幅的,居然是一篇名为《孔子的道德》的文章。里面对中国崇尚儒学、言必称孔子的行为作了不少介绍。 In 2005, at a library at the University of Pennsylvania, Zhang Tao, a professor at the Sichuan International Studies University who first came to the United States, accidentally turned to the 1743 New York Weekly newspaper - at a time when the United States was not independent. The simple version of the newspaper, which has only four smaller editions, occupies the entire front page, is actually an essay entitled “Confucian Ethics.” Confucius advocated Confucianism in China, it is said that Confucius made a lot of introduction.
