The lecture revolved around Wang Guowei and Chen Yinke, masters of Chinese classics. The lecture focused on their life experiences and friendship strategies, and deeply explored the humanistic spirit that runs through the two Masters'academic management and human conduct.It focuses on six aspects: Wang Guowei's personal friendship with Chen Yinke, Chen Yinke's retrospect of Wang Guowei, the spirit of independence and freedom, cultural and political adherents, Chinese and Western academic and prevailing concepts, and the funeral and relationship of cultural Shenzhou.

In the part of "Wang Guowei's personal friendship with Chen Yinke", Professor Peng quoted Mr. Jiang Tianshu's "special knowledge of interest" to sum up their friendship, pointing out their common characteristics of reverence for academics, and taking the talks in the I-word hall on cold nights, the couplets in Haiwang Village, and the nine worships in front of Gangbing Temple as a slight proof.

He cited two poems to prove the difference.
