Interpretation of Ma Benzhai Memorial Hall from the perspective of Eastern philosophy Eastern philosophy, especially Confucianism, Taoism and Buddhism, emphasizes the harmonious coexistence of man and nature, man and society, as well as personal moral cultivation and social responsibility. As a place to commemorate the anti-Japanese hero Ma Benzhai, from the perspective of Eastern philosophy, Ma Benzhai Memorial Hall is not only a historical witness, but also a holy place to promote moral courage, national spirit and patriotism. Confucianism's "benevolence" and "loyalty" are reflected in Ma Benzhai's life. For the liberation of the country and the nation, he sacrificed his life and embodied the noble sentiment of "sacrificing life for justice". Although Taoism's "conforming to nature" and "ruling by inaction" seem to contradict Ma Benzhai's heroic struggle, at a deeper level, Ma Benzhai's actions are the maintenance of the justice of "heavenly way" and the embodiment of "good and evil cannot coexist" in the natural order. The Buddhist concepts of "compassion" and "self-sacrifice" have also been sublimated in Ma Benzhai's heroic deeds. For the welfare of the wider people, he did not hesitate to sacrifice himself and showed fearless heroism. Interpretation of the Ma Benzhai Memorial Hall from the perspective of Western philosophy Western philosophy, especially the philosophy of the Enlightenment, emphasizes rationality, freedom, equality and human rights. From the perspective of Western philosophy, the Ma Benzhai Memorial Hall is not only a place to commemorate personal heroism, but also a symbol of human struggle for freedom and equality. The thoughts of Enlightenment philosophers such as Rousseau and Kant emphasize individual free will and resistance to injustice. Ma Benzhai's struggle is the practice of this concept. For the freedom and equality of the nation, he was not afraid of powerful enemies, which embodied the defense of personal dignity and freedom in Western philosophy. At the same time, Ma Benzhai's actions also reflected the understanding of "just war" in Western philosophy, that is, the struggle for justice and freedom is justified and is the result of human rational choice. From the perspective of Western philosophy, the Ma Benzhai Memorial Hall has become a place to showcase the common values of mankind - freedom, equality and justice - transcending geographical and cultural boundaries. In summary, whether from the perspective of Eastern philosophy or Western philosophy, the Ma Benzhai Memorial Hall carries a profound cultural and philosophical significance. It is not only a commemoration of history, but also a celebration of the common values of mankind, inspiring future generations to uphold justice and pursue freedom and equality when facing difficulties and challenges.
