Mr. Qian Zhongshu and his books
Mr. Qian Zhongshu's words are silent, and his name is Huai Ju. He used pseudonyms such as Shu Jun.. Mr. Qian Zhongshu 19 10 was born in Wuxi, Jiangsu Province, 1933 graduated from the Foreign Languages Department of Tsinghua University, and 1935 went to Oxford University with a B. LITT. (oxygen) degree. Later, he went to Paris University to study French literature.
After returning to China, he served as professor of foreign languages department of National Southwest Associated University, director of English Department of Kunming National Normal University, professor of foreign languages department of Shanghai Jinan University and editor-in-chief of foreign languages department of Central Library. After liberation, he was appointed as a professor of Tsinghua University Foreign Languages Department. 65438-0953 was transferred to the Institute of Literature of China Academy of Sciences as a researcher and a member of the Department of Philosophy and Social Sciences. In the new period, he served as a researcher at the Institute of Literature of China Academy of Social Sciences, vice president of China Academy of Social Sciences, and invited consultant of the institute. He also served as a member of the Sixth China People's Political Consultative Conference and the Standing Committee of the Seventh and Eighth China People's Political Consultative Conference. 1998 12 19, died in Beijing due to illness.
Mr. Qian is knowledgeable, versatile and proficient in foreign languages. He studied both Chinese and western cultures and made outstanding achievements in literary creation and academic research.
Before liberation, he published a collection of essays, Writing on the Edge of Life, 16, 17,/kloc-China in English Literature in the 8th century, a collection of short stories, novels, besieged city and literary theory and poetry criticism. Among them, Fortress Besieged has a unique achievement, which has been translated into many languages and published abroad. Mr. Lu concentrated on the study of the West, and his views were incisive and original. After liberation, Mr. Qian published Notes on Selected Poems of Song Dynasty, Five Volumes of Guan Cone Compilation, Seven Episodes, Poems of Huaiju Village, etc. Mr. Qian also participated in the foreign language translation of Selected Works of Mao Zedong. He presided over the compilation of the Tang and Song Dynasties in the History of China Literature. His Notes on Selected Poems of Song Dynasty is quite insightful in selecting and annotating poems, and also accurately expounds some regular problems in Chinese and foreign poetics. Guanzuibian discusses Yijing Justice, Shi Mao Justice, Zuo Zhuan Justice, Notes on Historical Records, Notes on Lao Bi, Biographies of Liezi, Jiao Shi, Hong Xing Ancestors of Chu Ci, Taiping Guangji, and all the three ancient dynasties, Qin and Han Dynasties.
The characteristics of Mr. Qian's academic research are the integration of Chinese and western learning, the mutual understanding of ancient and modern times, the integration of various disciplines, the exploration of the subtle and the connection with the abstract, which makes him unique in contemporary academic circles. Because of its achievements in many aspects, it is known as a master of culture. Over the past 60 years, Mr. Qian Zhongshu has devoted himself to the research of humanities and social sciences. He is indifferent to fame and fortune, willing to be lonely and diligent in research, and enjoys a good reputation at home and abroad. He has made outstanding contributions to the country and the nation, trained several generations of scholars, and is a valuable asset of China.
Mr. Qian Zhongshu's outstanding achievements in literary research and literary creation are of great significance for us to build a new culture in China, especially to sublate China's traditional culture scientifically and learn from foreign cultures selectively. Mr. Qian Zhongshu's main influence on China culture: First, he observed China and the world in the spirit of cultural criticism. Based on his familiarity with China culture and general view of world culture, Mr. Qian Zhongshu always shows a clear head and profound insight when observing Chinese and western cultural things. He does not reject any theory, nor does he blindly follow any authority. He devoted all his life to determining the proper position of China literature and art in the world literature and art hall, thus pushing China literature and art to the world and joining the overall pattern of world literature and art. Therefore, he not only profoundly expounded the profound connotation and unique value of China's cultural spirit, but also pointed out its historical and regional limitations. He not only criticized China people's conceit of local culture due to some fantasies, but also ruthlessly swept away the ignorance and prejudice of westerners centered on European and American cultures. Zhu Qian has played a very good role in promoting cultural exchanges between China and foreign countries, letting China people know about western learning and letting westerners know about China culture. The second is to develop and deepen the study of China with new academic norms. China is a country of poetry, propriety and righteousness, while China has a long academic history, and China has long been a famous scholar in the world. In this field, on the one hand, it is diligent and honest, and fruitful, on the other hand, it is difficult to innovate because of Chen Xiangyin. Rigid adherence to thinking methods and rigid demarcation of academic methods have greatly hindered progress. In this urgent situation, Mr. Qian Zhongshu's research method came into being. He has practiced the methods of "linking up", "cross-reference" and "comparison" for decades, and made great efforts to make China Studies consciously become a scientific and open system, thus achieving deeper, broader and newer development. Third, lead literary creation with modern consciousness. Mr. Qian Zhongshu lives in an agricultural country, but he does not have the narrow and conservative concept inherent in small-scale production; His major is China's ancient literature, but he is not pedantic like Sancun pedant. Qian Zhongshu's creation is permeated with a strong sense of modernity, which is rare in China's modern literature. It is different from the general works of his time and quite in tune with the trend of world literature.
What deserves special attention is that his literary creation is not eaten alive, but works with real Chinese style, which are loved by China people and foreigners. Fourth, set a personality example for China intellectuals with a noble image. In 1930s and 1940s, Mr. Qian Zhongshu did not bow to the evil forces, but made a bitter mockery of the dark society with his literary works. After 1949, Mr. Qian Zhongshu was humiliated and tortured during the Cultural Revolution, but the wise man was invincible. Mr. Qian Zhongshu has never forgotten his historical mission of contributing to the motherland and world culture as a scholar. He does not take the unpopular road, does not invest in the engine, does not care about profit and outspoken, and is not easy to behave. He opposed the establishment of several cases, but devoted himself to research and produced results. In today's world, this character is even more valuable.
The Collection of Pipe Tape is the most important research achievement of Mr. Qian Zhongshu. This book is written in elegant classical Chinese, quoting a large number of English, French, German, Italian and Western original texts. It is a rare multi-volume academic work. The four volumes of Sanlian Bookstore (5 volumes by Zhonghua Book Company) are nearly1.3000 words, which are the author's Book of Changes Justice, Shi Mao Justice, Zuo Zhuan Justice, Historical Records Annotation, Lao Bi Annotation, Liezi Annotation, Jiao Shi Annotation and Chu Ci Hong Xingzu Annotation. This book examines the chapters and principles of ci, and breaks through the barriers of time, space, language, culture and discipline. There are many new theories and ideas in it, all of which were copied by predecessors, which can quite open the thinking of the times and overthrow the heroes of the moment. The book quotes tens of thousands of documentary evidence from tens of thousands of works by 4,000 writers, covering almost all social sciences and humanities except literature. In the unpublished part of the book, there are ten kinds of notes, such as The Book of Rites, Zhuangzi, Quantang Wen, Poems of Du Shaoling, Notes on Poems Born in Yuxi, Changli Collection and Jianzhai Collection. Obviously, this high-grade book is the crystallization of Mr. Qian Zhongshu's decades of painstaking efforts. After the publication of this book, it caused great repercussions in academic circles at home and abroad. Although Zhonghua Book Company did not declare the "National Book Award" for the book at the beginning, the knowledgeable judges fairly included it in the first prize list.
Qin Yi Lu is China's last work with traditional poetry as a classic, and it is also the first work to comment on China's classical poetics by using western new humanities and social sciences. The book has 450,000 words and often comments on the works of ancient poets, especially some representative poets after the Tang Dynasty. This book quotes or comments on nearly 65,438+030 kinds of poetry talks since the Song Dynasty, and almost all the important works in the history of China's poetry talks are involved. The thoughts and talents of all authors, the evolution of works, the ups and downs of criticism and so on. , are all inclusive. Each section is detailed, creative, comprehensive, coherent, critical or thematic, free in length and eclectic. Taking two western concepts and opposing three corners, more than 500 western works are cited, including Buddhism, psychoanalysis, structuralism, cultural anthropology, new criticism, surrealism, reception aesthetics, deconstruction and other relatively new schools. This book is a must-read for studying China's classical poems.
Strange Tales is a collection of literary theories. This book is basically a co-editor of Four Articles of Old Literature and Yi Ji. This book contains seven research articles dubbed by Mr. Qian as "half-China, half-Western and half-Western". This book should be read together with "Pipe Taper". Each article is a chapter in the "pipe cone assembly". The notes in each section of the "Cone Assembly" are like a brief overview of every article in this book.
Notes on Selected Poems of Song Dynasty is one of the reading series of China's classical literature. The preface to the volume is an important poetic paper written by Mr. Qian Zhongshu after years of painstaking research on Song poetry. This paper not only has unique views on the historical position and gains and losses of Song songs, but also makes many contributions to the basic theory of China's classical poetry, and is also quite unique in the choice of poetic theory and political theory. Mr. Qian always likes to pretend to be a novelist, so he often uses the novelist's brushwork to outline the image and polish anecdotes; Although the language is simple, the characters are alive. His comments are alert and clear, simple and specific, and often ingenious.
Fortress Besieged is Mr. Qian Zhongshu's only novel and a well-known modern literary classic. Some critics consider it one of the greatest novels in modern China. Fortress Besieged is a poem in the novel, which is rich in connotation and wins over emotion with reason. The so-called "besieged city", as the characters in the book say, is born out of two European idioms. The Englishman said, "Marriage is like a golden birdcage. The birds outside the cage want to live in it, and the birds inside the cage want to fly out, so they get married and separate, and there is no game. " The French say that marriage is like a fortress, a besieged castle. People outside the city want to rush in, while people in the city want to escape. Fang Hung-chien, the hero of this book, didn't know about Fortress Besieged. However, when he heard people talk about Fortress Besieged and experienced the ups and downs afterwards, he thought that "everything in life has this idea." Fortress Besieged is an image summary of a life situation and a clever grasp of a psychological attitude. Fortress Besieged depicts the eternal cycle of human idealism and disillusionment. Throughout the ages, many people started from thinking that God helped them and ended up realizing that God helped them. The ups and downs in Fortress Besieged are all about rising ideals and repeated disillusionment. Often things are ruined when they are finished, and waves will only throw away their hard work. Many people have been in the situation of "besieged city" all their lives without paying attention to it. Therefore, Fortress Besieged can be regarded as a symbol of human predicament and repeated setbacks. Mr. Qian Zhongshu looks at floating life and thinks about diving; Point out the world, express deep feelings, and show metaphysics through physics, so that readers can suddenly understand life. The style of this book is humorous and wonderful, and you can appreciate the richness and beauty of Chinese characters when you read it.
Man, beast and ghost is a collection of short stories with four works. Among them, the dream of god describes the loneliness of people and the alienation of interpersonal relationships; Cat satirizes a group of boring intellectuals and can be regarded as the prototype of Fortress Besieged. Inspiration shows self-caused pain and alienation of spiritual products; "Commemoration" is about the gap between family members and husband and wife that cannot be bridged and communicated.
Writing on the Edge of Life is a collection of essays. Income "the devil visited Mr. Qian Zhongshu at night" and other ten articles. The author expresses his views on the people of the world with the attitude of "a casual amateur" and a bystander. He is knowledgeable, knowledgeable and humorous, which is a unique variety in the history of modern prose in China.
Poems in Huaiju is an old-style poetry anthology selected by Mr. Qian Zhongshu himself and copied and preserved by Mr. Jiang Yang. Mr. Qian studied poetry since childhood. I think there are at least thousands of poems written in these decades. However, Mr. Qian is quite satisfied with his own consciousness, but there are less than 300 songs in this episode, which shows his high level. There are all kinds of works in the book, which are expressive, lyrical, sentimental and poetic, and they are extremely resistant to reciting. Among them, Ancient Untitled Chapter was most inspired by Li Yishan. In the preface, the author tells the story of how teenagers learn poetry, as well as the principles and process of writing this book. These are the first disclosures and will definitely arouse readers' great interest.
A detailed life story
Life is said to be a big book.
If life is really like this, then more than half of our authors can only be regarded as book reviewers, and they have the ability of book reviewers. Without looking at a few pages, they have already made a lot of comments and handed in a book review.
When Qian Zhongshu was writing Fortress Besieged,
However, there is another kind of person in the world. They think that the purpose of reading is not to write book reviews or introduce. They have a casual and leisurely amateur, and they browse leisurely. Whenever they have any opinions, they just jot down a few words in the margin of the book. ...
This casual feeling is not their conclusion about the whole book. Because they always criticize, they may contradict each other and talk too much. They are too lazy to pay attention to it. Anyway, it's a pastime, unlike book reviewers who have a great mission of guiding readers and teaching authors. Who has the ability and patience to do those things? If life is a big book, it is not easy to read for a while, but there are still many gaps in the edge ... —— Preface of Qian Zhongshu's Writing on the Edge of Life?
Love reading, don't listen to things outside the window.
A foreign journalist once said, "I came to China with two wishes: one is to see the Great Wall of Wan Li, and the other is to see Qian Zhongshu". Qian Zhongshu is regarded as a miracle and symbol of China culture.
In fact, if there was no Fortress Besieged, perhaps most people didn't know Qian Zhongshu, but who knew him and his words? Some people even think that he is a pedant who likes to hang up his schoolbag, or regard his vulgarity as an old-fashioned lofty.
However, some people marvel at The Cone: "Its profound content, open thinking, vivid association and strange imagination are really rare for human beings. How can a person's brain remember such a vast amount of content? How can a person's brain connect and penetrate the vast and complex Chinese and Western cultures so freely? "
His writing is wanton and humorous, full of wisdom and philosophy, as well as ridicule and ridicule of the secular. He ranks among the masters of modern prose with only ten essays, but the few short stories are different in style, profound in meaning and breathtaking.
After his death, a reader who loved him wrote an article in the newspaper to commemorate him. The title is "The only Qian Zhongshu in the world is missing". This sentence can represent the sympathy of all those who know Qian Zhongshu a little or more.
He is absorbed in reading and research, and is not good at visiting friends. He also hates people's visits. Guests often thank them for being ill, and many letters have not been answered. Therefore, in people's minds, his image is more and more confusing, like a dragon in the clouds. When he sees the first film, he bares his teeth, which is imaginative and fascinating. Qian Zhongshu doesn't pretend to be profound, so he talks over my head. Great scholars cherish time like gold, do not make excuses to make a name for themselves, and do not waste time making friends. This is the first thing. Willing to be lonely, not seeking Wen Da, this is the second. Thinking is someone else's business, not Qian Zhongshu's.
Childlike heart is old, and unfortunately it becomes a myth or a target.
Qian Zhongshu has a unique personality. He has the arrogant personality of ordinary gifted scholars, but also has the childlike innocence that ordinary gifted scholars do not have. However, in the face of a series of successive storms, his childlike innocence has to grow old. Although the talent remains the same, the enthusiasm and desire are decreasing year by year, and Qian Zhongshu once began to be silent. For many years, he seems to have no new works, put down his sharp pen, and began to move from creation to research, and devoted his wisdom to world culture silently with his half-life loneliness.
Perhaps it was because of Fortress Besieged and later the Pipe awl that he unfortunately became a myth or a target of public criticism. So far, Qian Zhongshu has been concerned and commented by academic circles for more than 60 years. Over the past 60 years, many famous people at home and abroad have highly praised Qian Zhongshu, calling him "the most intelligent head of mankind in the twentieth century".
Occasionally, there are articles about how to comment on Qian Zhongshu's topic, and there are also differences. Some people think that Qian Zhongshu is not great and should not be overestimated. A doctoral student once published the article "I see Qian Zhongshu", claiming: "Qian Zhongshu embodies the fundamental lack of modern and contemporary scholars in China: the lack of system construction ability." Said to give Qian Zhongshu a "class"; 1997 1 There is also an article from Newsweek in Yangcheng Evening News criticizing Qian Zhongshu's incompetence and his illness.
No matter how others praise or criticize, Qian Zhongshu takes it lightly. The editorial board of Qian Zhongshu Research was established in 1989, but he strongly opposed it. He once protested to one of the founders and scholars: "Kunlun Mountain killed me. Generally speaking, learning is something cultivated by two or three people in the old house in the wilderness, and the obvious learning in the market will become popular learning. " He also said: "Scholars are like donkeys pushing a mill. If he is tired, he will raise his head and scream two or three times, then bow his head honestly and step on it. "
Humor and wit that swept the absolute beauty Tsinghua
1929, Qian Zhongshu was admitted to Tsinghua, and immediately became famous on campus, not only because he only got 15 in mathematics, but also because his Chinese and English level made many students admire him. After arriving in Tsinghua, his wish is to sweep the Tsinghua Library. He has a deep knowledge of Chinese and is good at philosophy and psychology. He reads old and new Chinese and western books all day. The strangest thing is that he never takes notes in class. He always reads, draws or practices calligraphy while attending classes, but he always gets the first place in every exam, and even gets a record-breaking score in Tsinghua in a certain school year.
Kong Qingmao's Biography of Qian Zhongshu once wrote an interesting story: a boy named Xu Zhende fell in love with a beautiful girl, and he kept winking at her in class. Without listening to the class, Qian Zhongshu drew all the changes of Xu's eyes when he looked in different directions, entitled "Changes of Xu's Eyes". Before class, he passed the picture to other students, which became a joke in the class for a while. Until a few years later, Xu Zhende, who lives in the United States, couldn't help laughing every time he mentioned the old things and became a beautiful talk. This is perhaps the most proud painting of money.
1933, Qian Zhongshu graduated from the Foreign Languages Department of Tsinghua University. The headmaster himself told him to make an exception and admit him to stay in school. Professor Wu Mi and others all went to do his job and wanted to keep him, hoping that he would continue to study English literature in the graduate school and add luster to the newly established Institute of Western Literature, but he refused: there is no professor in Tsinghua who is qualified to be a tutor of money. Its frankness and arrogance can be seen.
Arrogance is really a vassal.
Although he is a scholar, Qian Zhongshu is not a "Confucian scholar" in dealing with ordinary things. He is really arrogant, and even some scholars are not "fierce".
There is a saying that during the Cultural Revolution, Qian Zhongshu had a fight with a young couple for his wife Jiang Yang, which was also recorded in Six Chapters of Cadre School, but later the young couple stood up and said that Jiang Yang's story was untrue. At that time, academic circles were also stirred up, and many scholars were involved in this debate. From an ordinary person's point of view, maybe we don't care about the merits and demerits, but Mr. Qian's frankness and arrogance made me feel true and pure. What woman in the world can accept a man who is afraid to stand up for his wife? Maybe it was money that was once mythical, but when we see his ordinary side, we will feel "cute".
There is an old saying: don't be humble for male names, but you will be loyal to the princes. But in Qian Zhongshu's place, you may not even have to fold the princes.
According to Mr. Huang Yongyu's recollection, during the Cultural Revolution, one day, a department suddenly informed the headquarters to ask Qian Zhongshu to attend a state banquet. Qian Zhongshu said, "I won't go, ha!" I'm busy, so I won't go, ha! "
"Comrade Jiang Qing asked you to go by name!" "ha! I'm not going, I'm busy, I'm not going! "
"Well, can I say that you are in poor health and can't get up?"
"no! Don't! Don't! I am in good health, you see, I am in good health! Ha! I'm busy, so I won't go, ha! " As a result, Mr. Qian did not go out.
Once again, Huang Yongyu wanted to write a written foundation about "Phoenix Nirvana", but there was no material. I have checked the etymology, Ci Hai, Chinese Dictionary, Buddhist Dictionary, People's Daily Reference Room, Beijing Institute for Nationalities, and Buddhist Association, but nothing!
Suddenly, I remembered Mr. Qian and hung up. Mr. Qian said the following words on the phone:
"What is the basis? It is the title of a poem written by Guo Moruo at 192 1 Where do you find inventions other than cults? There is a story that the phoenix jumped into the fire and was reborn. Roman coins have embossed patterns, which were not invented by Rome. It may be a story handed down from Greece, or it may be related to Egypt and China ... Let's get started! You go to the encyclopedia Britannica ... ah! Don't! You can flip through the Chinese version of The Concise Encyclopedia Britannica, and the third one will be found. " The result was found immediately and all the problems were solved.
Qian Zhongshu with wise eyes
Make unremitting efforts to build Chinese and western cultural gardens
Qian Zhongshu is famous for his extensive knowledge and memory. There are many reports that he never forgets anything and has the memory function of a camera. However, when it comes to his literary achievements, what really makes people admire is The Pipe Taper.
From Sima Changfeng to, from to, there are different opinions about Guanju.
The first time I saw Guan Cone was 1994. Before that, I only read Fortress Besieged and some of his essays and short stories. Although I like it very much, I really feel suffocated when I rummaged through his box in the bookstore, probably because of my business trip. At that time, in an ancient book bookstore in Jinan, I finally took a set of five-volume "Pipe Taper" back to the hotel and read it overnight. What impressed me most was the fifth book. It is divided into two parts. The first part is to update the contents of the first four volumes 1 158 of "A subset of Confucian Classics from Pre-Qin to Sui Dynasty", and the second part is to update the first four volumes and the updated contents. At the age of sixty-five, Qian wrote "Compilation of Pipe Tapes", published "Compilation and Supplement of Pipe Tapes" at the age of seventy-two, and made "Compilation and Supplement of Pipe Tapes" at the age of nearly eighty. At such an age, he made such a detailed and tedious revision of his masterpiece, and the quotations he quoted involved Chinese and Western languages, including Chinese, English, German, French, Latin and so on. His academic spirit is really touching and impressive, as if there is no second person in academia.
I will gather my lifelong knowledge into a book, and connect and connect the vast and complicated Chinese and western cultures so freely. Some people call Qian Zhongshu a treasure house of literature, Kunlun Mountain or the sea, but in my opinion, Guanzubian is more like a unique cultural park, which moves the essence of world culture underground and cleverly puts it aside, making it a three-dimensional landscape and making people linger. I followed his eyes and couldn't help falling in love with this "cultural landscape", and Qian Zhongshu was the guide and manager of this "cultural garden".
Jin once said: Contemporary scholars, the most incredible people, should count Qian Zhongshu. He not only has amazing profundity and wisdom, but also has unparalleled cultural tolerance; Like a magician, he can fuse all kinds of incompatible or even mutually exclusive things without leaving a trace. This statement is extremely correct.

Quotations from Lin Yutang
Two-legged eastern and western cultures
Two-legged eastern and western cultures
Comment on the universe with one heart
-"My Words"
Understanding and pain
The degree of a person's understanding is just equal to the depth of his suffering.
-"My Country and My People"
Rare things
People who are proud of their feet are always extremely rare, and people who can give life satisfaction are rare in this world.
-"My Country and My People"
No humor.
Without humor, people's culture will become more and more hypocritical, life will become more and more fraudulent, thoughts will become more and more pedantic, literature will become more and more dry, and people's thoughts will become more and more stubborn.
-"One Night Talk"
If there were no women
Without women, there must be no manners, customs, religions, traditions and social classes. There is no man who is naturally polite, and there is no woman who is naturally rude. Suppose there were no women, we wouldn't live in the same alley, but in a house with triangular doors and windows and an octagonal bathtub, and we didn't know the difference between a restaurant and a bedroom. Men like to eat in the bedroom and sleep in the dining room.
