Wen Yiduo grew a beard and declared that the war of resistance was invincible and he would never shave. Concentrate on your studies and shut yourself in the library all day.
; Many Western Union professors appreciate it.
When Mr. Wen was in The National SouthWest Associated University, he taught three courses: Chu Ci, Tang Poetry and Ancient Myth.
There are not many people in Chu Ci class. Teacher Wen lit a pipe, and so did those of us who can smoke (Teacher Wen's class can smoke). Mr. Wen opened his notes and said, "If you drink too much, you can become famous by reading Li Sao." Teacher Wen's notebook is very big, one and a half feet long and nearly one foot wide. It is written on special paper with rough edges. The words are block letters, slightly longer and meticulous.
One feature of his writing is that he likes to use a bald pen. He collected all the waste pens used by others. It is really a kung fu to write fine print with bare pen. I read Chu ci with teacher Wen for a year, and I really understand only two sentences: "The autumn wind blows, and the waves in Dongting are under the leaves." Perhaps you can add a few words: "When you become a ceremony, you will know how to beat drums, pass flowers and dance for generations, and Chunlan Qiuju will last forever."
The students sat up straight one by one and stared at Mr. Wen Yiduo. Mr. Wen Yiduo is also absorbed, pacing in the classroom and reading the text slowly. Students listen carefully and take notes carefully, just like seedlings in spring, irrigated by Mr. Wen Yiduo's knowledge.

Mr. Wen has a strong and decisive personality. Japanese invaders invaded south, and Tsinghua, Peking University and Nankai became temporary universities. They were stationed less in Changsha, then moved to The National SouthWest Associated University and went to Yunnan. Some teachers and students formed a walking group. Mr Wen took part in the Long March. He grew a beard and declared that he would never shave if he could not win the Anti-Japanese War. His beard is only on his chin, the so-called "goatee", and his moustache is thick and black, similar to a word. His lips are slightly thin and flat, and his eyes are burning. There is a woodcut statue of Mr. Wen, turning sideways, with a pipe in his mouth, looking at the reality with hot and cold eyes, which can express Mr. Wen's inner world very well.
After the conference arrived in Yunnan, I stayed in Mengzi for one year. Teacher Wen still concentrates on his studies and spends all day in the library. The library is upstairs. At that time, many professors loved fasting. For example, Mr. Zhu Ziqing's fasting name is "game fasting with morality", and Mr. Wei's study is called "learning everything". A professor named Mr. Wen a fast master: "Why not ask the landlord?" Because teacher Wen never goes downstairs.
As soon as the school building of National Southwest Associated University was decorated, the school moved to Kunming.
When I was studying in The National SouthWest Associated University, Mr. Wen taught three courses: Chu Ci, Tang Poetry and Ancient Mythology.

Teacher Wen teaches ancient myths and is very popular. Not only students from the Chinese Department and the College of Liberal Arts came to the lecture, but also students from the Faculty of Science and Engineering. The Institute of Technology is in Tuodong Road, and the College of Liberal Arts is in Daximen. It takes a whole Kunming city to listen to a class. Teacher Wen's lecture is "illustrated". He painted various portraits of Fuxi and Nuwa with a whole piece of fringed paper, nailed them on the blackboard, and described them with words and fingers. They are vivid, well-organized, brilliant, high and low, and fascinating. Teacher Wen is a good actor. Fuxi Nuwa was originally a boring topic, but after listening to teacher Fu's lecture, people felt a kind of beauty, the beauty of thought, the beauty of logic and the beauty of talent. It is worthwhile to listen to such a class and walk through a city.
No one else can speak Tang poetry like Mr. Wen. He also talked about four outstanding figures in the early Tang Dynasty, ten gifted scholars in Dali, and He Yue's collection of heroes, but it was in the late Tang Dynasty that he spoke the most and best. He linked the late Tang poetry with post-impressionist painting. Speaking of Li He, I also talked about pointillism in Impressionism, saying that pointillism looks like dots of different colors. These dots seem to have nothing to do with each other, but when you stare at it, you can feel the inner connection between dots. In this way, Tang poetry must be both a poet and a painter. Who can do that? Mr. Wen's wonderful understanding of Tang poetry should be recorded. I am a careless person and never take notes in class. I heard that Zheng Linchuan, a classmate one year older than me, recorded it, compiled it into a book, Wen Yiduo on Tang Poetry, and published it. This is a good thing.
