March 4, 1923 (17 Guihai the first month), Hu Shi vigorously promote the study of Chinese culture.

1923, "reading magazines published the Hu articles a minimum Guoxue bibliography). Hu Shih said in the preamble:
this bibliography I promised Tsinghua School Hujun Dun-yuan, four people intend. Teenagers, they are going to go overseas to study in the common sense of the country so the school would like to have in a short period of time. So when I contemplated this bibliography is not Guoxue foundation in the vision, conceived only as an ordinary young people want to get the point system Guoxue knowledge. This is the first point I want to declare.
Although this is a bibliography, but also a Dharma. This the Famennian can be called the "history of Chinese culture research method. The past four or five years, I received I do not know how many young friends ask the governing learn what avenue "letter. Initially I had to learn the style of the older generation, to persuade people to start from the primary school, advising people to pass phonology exegetical first. But I recently repent! Kind words for the experts say, and say not for the beginner; scholars put up a front, if not the educator fascinating nothing. The phonological exegetical school it has not yet sorted out a clue system, how to start for beginner people work? More than 10 years of experience so I can not help but admit that the learning of phonological exegetical only can be used as a tool of "scholars", rather than "beginner" Path. Honestly doubtful today also no avenue can be said; those Guoxue achievements of the National People's Congress are under dead done stupid dry out. This avenue when I had to come up with a start: historical clues our natural systems continue to evolve with the natural order of the history of our country to learn.
This bibliography is in accordance with this concept. The order of this bibliography is the key to start. This is the second point I want to declare.
