Size: 16.7*25.3 cm

Featured lots | Yanzi Spring and Autumn White Cotton Paper Past Engravings, Dongpo Anthology

1959 manuscript

Five pages

Summary: Five pages of Guo Moruo's manuscript, three pieces of the attached publication People's Daily. This manuscript was written by Guo Moruo on October 29, 1959, and was written on the "Manuscript Paper of the Committee for the Defense of World Peace for the Chinese People" (Guo was then the chairman of the National People's Congress). The position of the upper heading on the first page of the manuscript was cropped, and from the People's Daily on November 7, 1959, it can be seen that the headline was "Longing for Moscow". In early November 1957, Guo Moruo, as head of the delegation of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and a member of the Chinese delegation, accompanied Mao Zedong to Moscow to participate in the celebration of the October Revolution Festival. During this period, he accompanied Mao Zedong to Red Square to visit Lenin and Stalin's mausoleum, and accompanied Mao Zedong to the celebration of the fortieth anniversary of the October Revolution held by the Supreme Soviet of the Soviet Union. The day before the fortieth anniversary of the October Revolution, he composed "In Praise of the October Revolution." This manuscript was made in 1959 to commemorate the forty-second anniversary of the October Revolution, just after celebrating the tenth anniversary of the founding of our country, followed by the commemoration of the October Revolution. In the article, Guo Moruo said that Moscow "is not only the capital of the great Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, but also the core force symbolizing world peace and the core force of the cause of progress of all mankind", and said that "the 650 million people of our whole China sincerely yearn for Moscow, and we must always look up to the Soviet people", and the words are full of political colors in the context of that era. Guo Moruo's letters or calligraphy works are not difficult to see in the market, but his manuscripts are rare. This manuscript of Guo Moruo praising the "October Revolution" is even more precious.

About the author: Guo Moruo (1892-1978), real name Guo Kaizhen, character Dingtang, number Shangwu, pen name in addition to Guo Moruo, as well as Macang, Guo Dingtang, etc., was born in Shawan, Leshan, Sichuan. Modern Chinese writer, historian and archaeologist. He has successively served as Vice Premier of the State Council, Director of the Cultural and Educational Committee, President of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Chairman of the China Federation of Literary and Art Circles, and President of the University of Science and Technology of China. In June 1978, he died in Beijing due to ineffective medical treatment.

Guo Moruo's view of the Soviet Union

Text/Monino

In Sino-Soviet relations in the 20th century, Guo Moruo played an important role. He first attracted attention as an important writer of modern Chinese literature, and later actively participated in politics as a cultural standard-bearer, becoming one of the important leaders of the new Chinese cultural community. In the 1950s, Guo Moruo had a good interaction with the Soviet literary and art circles.

Guo Moruo's 1959 manuscript of "Commemorating the Forty-second Anniversary of the October Revolution" should be viewed in the context of Sino-Soviet relations at that time, and should also be placed in the evolution of Guo Moruo's personal "Soviet view".

In the 1920s, as soon as Guo Moruo stepped into the literary world, he showed his great enthusiasm for the socialist Soviet Union. In 1919 and 1920, the new Soviet government issued two declarations on China, which caused strong repercussions in China, and Guo Moruo became fond of the country because of the "Declaration on China" issued by Soviet Russia. In this environment, Guo Moruo was deeply touched. In 1920, he composed long poems such as "The Lesson of the Giant Cannon", "The Great Spiritual Lifeman Wang Yangming", "Dialogue between the Yellow River and the Yangtze River", expressing his support for the Leader of Soviet Russia, the October Revolution, and his enthusiasm for taking the Russian road, and he advocated the immediate launch of the "Great Revolution of the Chinese Nation" and the implementation of the Russian-style "dictatorship of the proletariat". It can be seen that under the influence of the October Revolution, Guo Moruo formed the initial view of the Soviet Union. Articles and speeches on the Soviet Union published in the 1930s and 1940s show that he gradually developed an ideological tendency to learn from the Soviet Union in an all-round way.

In the autumn of 1917, an important historical event broke out in Russia, the October Socialist Revolution. The October Revolution was a revolution launched by the Bolshevik Party under the leadership of Lenin to overthrow the bourgeois Provisional Government and establish Soviet power, and the world's first socialist country, the Soviet Union, was born in this revolution. Guo Moruo was full of reverence for this great historical event and spared no effort to praise it. In 1957, in praise of the October Revolution 40 years ago, "In Praise of the October Revolution," Guo Moruo likened the Soviet Union, the world's first socialist country under the dictatorship of the proletariat established after the October Revolution, to a "new sun" that made the Soviet Union "shine with each passing day and year"; at the same time, he likened the Soviet Union in 1957 to launching the world's first artificial satellite orbiting the earth as a "new moon", saying that it was constantly "soaring in the sky". Under the strong leadership of the Soviet Union, these 40 years of achievements "are more brilliant than the previous four thousand years ... Lasting peace in the world is guaranteed", and all this "glory" owes to the "great Soviet people" and "the Party of Marxism-Leninism".

Guo Moruo is a representative figure in China's cultural circles and holds an important position in the government. He had frequent contacts with Soviet people, and was influenced by them, deepening his understanding of the Soviet Union. In addition, he visited the Soviet Union several times and witnessed all aspects of the Soviet Union. All this had a strong influence on his "Soviet view". Therefore, Guo Moruo's "Soviet view" has evolved into a fanatical pursuit of the Soviet Union and a cult of personality. Objectively speaking, the Soviet Union at this time was in its heyday: it possessed powerful nuclear weapons - atomic bombs, hydrogen bombs, successfully launched the first artificial earth satellites, and created an intercontinental jet airliner, surrounded by a group of socialist countries surrounded by stars. In such a historical background, Guo Moruo had a "vertigo", felt that "heaven has been built on earth", and felt that the Soviet Union was a paradise on earth.

Since the early 1960s, China and the Soviet Union have been in a state of antagonism. China regarded the Soviet Union as a revisionist, hegemonic and social-imperialist country. Sino-Soviet friendly relations began to deteriorate in 1958, and then the disputes between the two countries became more and more and gradually surfaced, and relations took a sharp turn for the worse, and by 1960 they were completely disillusioned. After the rupture of Sino-Soviet relations, Guo Moruo's "Soviet view" underwent a sharp change, and the national image of the Soviet Union at this time was completely negative in his eyes. Guo Moruo closely followed Chairman Mao Zedong's steps and launched a critique of "Soviet revisionism" in the cultural circles. During this period, he attacked the great power chauvinism of the Soviet Union and created a social atmosphere of criticism of "Soviet revisionism". As a member of the Communist Party of China and a senior official of the Chinese government, Guo Moruo participated in the denunciation, condemnation, and criticism of the "Soviet revisionists." At this time, Guo Moruo rarely mentioned Soviet literature again, although in 1957 he also wrote an article entitled "Aligning with Soviet Literature and Art".

The date of Guo Moruo's manuscript for the "Forty-second Anniversary of the October Revolution" is October 29, 1959, a period between the deterioration of Sino-Soviet relations and the collapse of Sino-Soviet relations, and the eve of the great changes in Guo Moruo's "Soviet view". Therefore, on the occasion of the forty-second anniversary of the October Revolution, this eulogical manuscript was written, which may be a testimony to guo Moruo's important turning point from a fervent praiser of the Soviet Union to a fierce critic of the Soviet Union, which deserves attention!

Wen Gu 'Thorn Horse Case': A major assassination incident

Zhang Wenxiang's "stabbing horse" is the first major case and strange case in the late Qing Dynasty.

It is said that it is large because the Governor of Liangjiang, the heaviest weight in the Qing Dynasty, was stabbed in the street.

It was strange to say that the Assassin could walk towards the Governor of Liangjiang as if he had entered no man's land, and no one stopped him, so he let the Assassin do it. The place where the assassins attacked was actually the parade ground of the Governor of Liangjiang. The murderer did not flee after the assassination, and if nothing happened, the various performances and confessions of being interrogated after his arrest, as well as the various rumors about Ma Xinyi and Zhang Wenxiang inside and outside the government and the public, were even more magical. The case has not yet been concluded, and the Shanghai Opera Troupe has compiled the complete biography of Ma Xinyi, which makes the magic color of this case icing on the cake.

In the end, Zhang Wenxiang sentenced Ling Chi to death and sacrificed his heart in front of Ma Xinyi's coffin. On February 15 of the 10th year of tongzhi, it was ordered to be carried out by Ma Si, the younger brother of the superintendent Ma Xinyi.

Although this case has been decided and the suspect has been satisfied, the people's hearts are not ashamed, and the public opinion is fierce. In view of the facts of his case, there were five "doubts": first, the incident was strange; second, the length of the trial was too long; three were repeated changes of the presiding judges; fourth, the attitude of the imperial court was different; and fifth, the motives of the murder were unknown. Therefore, there have been many legends, from the time of occurrence, the name of the assassin, the motive of the crime to the truth. What is particularly different is that people's hearts have their own opinions, entering the master and leaving the slave, each holding on to the same theory, so far for hundreds of decades, what the "truth" is, there is no final conclusion. Later generations listed this case as the "four strange cases at the end of the Qing Dynasty", which is really a "strange" that has never been seen in eternity compared to other cases.

Now let's explore the many eye-catching points of this "strange case" one by one.

1. The scene of the crime

The late Qing dynasty scholar Zhang Wenhu was invited by Zeng Guofan to take charge of the Jinling Bookstore, and had direct contacts with Zeng Guofan, Zeng Guoquan, and Li Hongzhang, Ma Xinyi, and others who had served as governors of Liangjiang. The extant "Diary of Zhang Wenhu" intermittently records his life and academic activities in the Jinling Bookstore from the third year of Tongzhi to the eleventh year of Tongzhi, and the thorn horse case occurred during this period (the ninth year of Tongzhi). We can revisit many of the details of this mystery from his account. "Zhang Wenhu's Diary" details the occurrence of the "horse stabbing case", although Zhang Wenhu himself is not a witness to the scene, but he and Ma Xinyi have more personal relations, many of the friends he interacted with are Ma Xinyi's guests, he recorded the history of this stabbing case, when from Ma Xinyi's friends, its reliability is self-evident.

On the twenty-sixth day of July in the ninth year of Tongzhi, at noon, the horse army was hit by the assassins, and the lower abdomen was stabbed, which was very dangerous, and the people's hearts were emperor. Jin Liquan and He Hongfangzi Cultivating Research (name Zhengong) came to worship. Received the letter of Hongfang and added a new board "Chen Zhongyu Collection". The night and uncle and the gengting court discussed this matter, and the strange change was very worrying.

On July 27, 1999, it was reported that yesterday the army was paraded at the teaching ground, taking a number of relatives on foot, and would enter the back garden, and suddenly one person stopped in front of him to claim injustice. The military received a complaint, one person from the back to the blade, the soldiers could not give first aid, and the person with the blade was captured, and the wronged person fled. When the army returned to the upper room, it was impossible to speak, the breath was like silk, there was no blood at the blade and the mouth was bleeding back, the healers tied their hands, and those who ruled with the Chenzhou Charm did not work, and they were extinguished for only one week. The fierce man, there is no confession, but the general knows it, the voice is like the Hubei people, and the pork noodles, do not eat, suspected to be Islam also. The blade is an ordinary sabre, which means to be boiled with medicine, so it is wounded and bloodless. Since taking over, the old chapter of the Former Marquis has been carefully observed, and there has been no less change, and it is really incomprehensible that this misfortune has occurred.

On July 30, 9th year of Tongzhi, according to the murderer's own words, his name was Zhang Wenxiang, a native of Hunan. The perpetrators of the grievances were also arrested, and it was reported that the Shandong people had come to sue for the loan, but they did not know that the murderer had committed the assassination.

This record in "Zhang Wenhu's Diary" provides several useful clues to our understanding of the horse stabbing case: First, before Zhang Wenxiang's assassination, a Shandong person came to complain about the injustice, and Ma Xinyi was assassinated by Zhang Wenxiang when he was accepting his complaint, which is different from the record in the "Draft History of the Qing Dynasty". According to the "Draft History of the Qing Dynasty", when Ma Xinyi read the shooting and returned the signature that day, Zhang Wenxiang disguised himself as a Chen-like person raided and succeeded, and the "Draft History of the Qing Dynasty" did not mention that others were involved. Secondly, the situation after Ma Xinyi was stabbed was critical, the main symptom was that the wound was bloodless and the mouth was bleeding, the assassin's knife was poisonous, the doctor had no way to heal at that time, even the charm was used, and Ma Xinyi died in only one week after being stabbed. Moreover, Zhang Wenxiang may be a Muslim. "Zhang Wenhu's Diary" was recorded on the day after the incident, according to the diary, at that time, the murderer was tried, Zhang Wenxiang only said that "the general knows it", there was no confession, and there was no false rumor of the court officials tampering with the confession.

2. Assassins and their people

On August 24, 9th year of Tongzhi, according to Yun, the family of the murderer was in Huzhou, and the past had already been captured, and it was quick.

On August 25, 9th year of tongzhi, Fang came and said that the dependents of the murderer were a son, twelve years old, another daughter, fifteen years old, and three of his uncles and wives.

As the main culprit in the four strange cases of the late Qing Dynasty, there are not many reliable records of Zhang Wenxiang's life, whether it is Jin Tianyu's "Biography of Zhang Wenxiang" or Zhang Xiangwen's "South Garden Series" record of Zhang Wenxiang, most of them are shijing legends, and "Zhang Wenhu's Diary" reveals zhang Wenxiang's personal life materials, for example, Zhang Wenxiang did not eat pork noodles, may be a Muslim, speaking with a Hubei accent, is a Hunan person, which is different from the wild history legends that Zhang Wenxiang is a Henan person. Zhang Wenxiang's family was in Huzhou, counting a son and a daughter and an uncle and wife, and extrapolating from the age of their children, Zhang Wenxiang was about thirty years old at the time, just in his prime, nearly ten years younger than Ma Xinyi, and less than fifty when the horse was stabbed.

III. Presiding Judge

From the time the case occurred to the conclusion of the case, the attitude of those "cultivated into fine" ministers of the DPRK and the CPC was to keep the case secret, and they stayed out of the matter one after another, lest they take over this hot potato. As a result, the two factions of the "Thorn Horse Case" changed the main trial three times, and the delay was half a year, and the branches in between were even more complicated.

First of all, the reason for Zhang Wenxiang's confession of the assassination was that all the interrogators at all levels did not record or report it, that is, they did not dare to record it, they did not dare to report it, but Zhang Wenxiang remained unswerving for several months, which is what the upper edict said was "firm and untrue", "this case is still unprovoked", a general and many officials of the prefecture and county division "survived" interrogation, that is, all kinds of torture was still confessed by the assassins, and they did not dare to report it truthfully.

Second, after four months of torture and re-torture, trial and retrial, and trying to find ways to deliver, induce, and confess again, They finally had the "confession" that satisfies the imperial court and does not lose the face of Ma Xinyi, the governor, that is, plotting rebellion and rebellion.

Third, after this case occurred, Chao Yan transferred Zeng Guofan to be the governor of Liangjiang, supervised the trial of the case, and then transferred Zhang Zhiwan to try the case with Kuiyu, and also sent Shangshu and Zeng and others to jointly try the case, which shows that the imperial court attached great importance to the trial after the occurrence of this case, and was anxious and dissatisfied, and constantly sent Yachen to show that this case was very complicated and not as simple as stated in the existing documents.

Fourth, the imperial court continued to send three more tried members, but they were all delayed. Zeng Guofan issued an edict on August 3, and it was not until the end of the case in February of the following year that he appeared to agree to the originally formulated crime; Zhang Zhiwan, on August 10, ordered him to be transferred to Nanjing to try to try Zhang Wenxiang with the kuiyu governor of The Wounded Division, and it was not until late September that Zhang Zhiwan arrived; Zheng Dunjin, who had been ordered to rush to Nanjing on November 2, was ordered to go to Nanjing to try the case together, and it was not until the first six days of February of the tenth year that he said that the case had been reviewed by Zeng and Zheng and sentenced according to the original crime.

Fourth, the facts of the case are confused

Why did Zhang Wenxiang dare to assassinate the imperial court's feudal officials in full view of the public?

Although more than a century has passed since the "thorn horse case", the academic circles and the people have never stopped discussing and interpreting the doubtful case, and the reason for the "thorn horse" is the core of the doubtful case. Based on the accounts of various circles, the reasons for the "thorn horse case" can be summarized into six types: (1) Zhang Wenxiang took revenge; (2) Ma Xinyi fished as a negative friend; (3) Ma Xinyi returned to the country; (4) Ding Richang bought a fierce thorn horse; (5) an anti-foreign religious person bought a fierce thorn horse.

In terms of these five "motives for committing crimes", they can be classified into three categories, one is vendetta, which includes revenge and revenge for friends; the other is righteous killing, which refers to Zhang Wenxiang's regard of Ma Xinyi as a traitor to the country; three is murder, and the main messenger behind the scenes may be Ding Richang or a haters. But regardless of the motive, the case was hastily concluded at the urging of the imperial court.

Of course, there are also those who really want to find out the truth, such as Inspector Yinghan of Anhui, who has a close personal relationship with Ma Xinyi, and Sun Yiyan, a political envoy from Jiangning who was blessed by Ma Xinyi' acquaintance; "Zhang Wenhu's Diary" also mentions that Sun Yiyan's epitaph written for Ma Xinyi said that after Ma Xinyi was killed, Sun himself did not have time to participate in the trial of the case because of the incident, and he resisted the use of torture against the criminals, but no one listened to his advice, and the case was hastily concluded, and Sun Yiyan was indignant about this.

V. The "Truth" of the Case

The trial process of the "Thorn Horse Case" is extremely difficult, and the murderers are blinking, half-spitting, and inconsistent. However, the motives for the assassination described above after careful scrutiny are not valid. After the Xinhai Revolution, because the Qing Dynasty had fallen, many unknown secrets were gradually revealed, and the "truth" about the thorn horse case gradually surfaced.

At that time, many people believed that Ma Xinyi's death was inseparable from the Xiang Army. Zhang Wenxiang's true identity has gradually become known: he was originally a soldier who surrendered from the Taiping Army to the Xiang Army, and he also belonged to the command of Bao Chao, the right-hand man of Zeng Guofan. At this point, the truth of the thorn horse case has been revealed.

Ma Xinyi was stabbed to death, dying on the joint of the mystery of the treasure of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom and other bad deeds of the Xiang army in Nanjing, Zeng Guofan may not be the mastermind, but the mastermind must be an important figure in the Xiang army, and after the incident, Zeng Guofan may also know who is the mastermind, but the situation forces him to hide for his relatives. This is not only related to the interests of the Xiang Army, but may also involve more disasters...

The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom operated in Nanjing for ten years, and it is needless to say that all kinds of grain and salary were piled up, and the gold and silver treasures of the Heavenly Palace were piled up, and there were also many collections in other royal palaces and generals' palaces. After Zeng Guoquan captured Tianjing, the Xiang army plundered for several days. In order to extinguish the traces, another fire was set, so that the city of Nanjing was a sea of fire, burning for eight days and eight nights, the sons and daughters of the Xiang Army were full of private pockets, and vehicles of all sizes were continuously transporting property to their hometown of Hunan. In the past few years, the sons of the Xiang Army rushed to buy land all over Xiang'e, and there was a lot of discussion among the government and the public, and Prince Gong was also quite critical, and Empress Dowager Cixi was unhappy.

Over the past decade or so, the strength of the Xiang Army has expanded rapidly. After the defeat of the Taiping Rebellion, it was rumored that Zeng Guofan had ambitions. When fighting against the Taiping Army, the Qing court had to rely heavily on the Xiang Army. However, the Taiping Army was "flattened", could the imperial court allow Zeng Guofan to sit in Jiangnan? There was a tiger lying in the southeast, and the imperial court was not at ease sleeping, so zeng guofan was transferred away from Jiangning, and Ma Xinyi was sent as the governor of Liangjiang, and the Xiang army was quickly dismissed. And Nanjing was originally captured by the Xiang Army, and it has always been regarded as a private land by the Xiang Army, and they have been operating there for several years, how can they easily give it to Ma Xinyi?

It is not necessarily that the Xiang Army planned the "thorn horse", but without the approval of the Xiang Army, the "thorn horse" could not be started. This hand, not a game, but a challenge, in broad daylight, on the parade ground, the assassin killed the governor as soon as he struck, not with a gun, but with a dagger, not hiding in the crowd and shooting at a distance, but rushing to the governor and stabbing him closely. This is simply "taking the first rank of general in the Ten Thousand Horse Army"! So many soldiers let such an assassin run to their Governor So easily, unless they were allowed to go and put the Assassin next to the Governor, besides, how could it be! Even more embarrassing was the fact that the Assassin was not in a hurry to escape, as if he had come not to carry out the assassination, but to carry out the execution, and he used the parade ground as his execution ground, declaring to the soldiers who came to arrest him that he was the murderer.

Ma Xinyi has never had his own army since he arrived at the Governor's Palace, and it can be said that two years before his death, he came to Nanjing alone. The naïve governor may never know that he has stepped into the den of tigers and wolves, so much so that he said in his final breath and confusion: "Why would a man I do not know want to kill me?" "The truth about Ma Xinyi's assassination cannot be understood by the imperial court, but why should it be bluffed and ordered a strict investigation?" Is it to make a play for Zeng Guofan to see, or do you really want to strike a complete blow at the Xiang Army? However, there is no doubt that since Ma Xinyi was assassinated, the throne of the viceroy of Liangjiang has always been in the hands of the Xiang clan, and others dare not ask.

In this way, the letter became suspicious, and the case became a suspense case, so Sun Yiyan sighed: "The conspiracy and secret plan are unpredictable." However, it is impossible to understand. And Ma Xinyou mourned: "Finally feel the mystery of the case, leisurely in the sky, and hold hatred for the end of the ancients." What is the truth about the "Thorn Horse Case"? Or maybe there can be no truth in the "Thorn Horse Case"? The above kinds of "truths" are believed by the believers and those who do not believe.

More than a hundred years have passed since the beginning of this major case, but because of its complex and extraordinary circumstances, it has long spread among the vast number of people at all levels. Many of the various theories have deductive elements, and some of them are even no different from the rap in Lixiang and the history of barnyard officials, and there are not many arguments supported by real historical materials. After all, the times are getting farther and farther away, and those who have witnessed it have long been ancient, and there is no reason to ask for it. Coupled with the change of dynasties and the vicissitudes of the sea, the grievances of the ancients will eventually escape the fate of obliterating or joking.

Therefore, many valuable clues are gradually emerging in this important letter book about the "thorn horse case", which provides many fresh historical materials and thinking angles for re-examining the "thorn horse case".

Summary: This lot is a manuscript of Luo Yong's "Nine Songs" Solution and Its Reading Method, which was compiled by the author's speeches at the Institute of Liberal Arts of Peking University and the Southwest United University during the Republic of China. Liang Qichao also has a chapter on the Chu Ci in the "Explanation of Essential Books and Their Reading Methods", but the content involving the "Nine Songs" is very limited. In particular, the introduction of the reading of "Chu Ci" is only a paragraph. Luo Yong's speech, which was specially written for the introduction to the "Nine Songs", gave a more detailed introduction. At the end of the chapter, "The Reading Method of the Nine Songs" is tentatively divided into four subsections: "The Province of ancestral ceremonies", "The Organization of the Movements", "Four Words and Three Words", and "Dialogue and Monologue", and the interpretation of the structure and content of the "Nine Songs" has the effect of solving the cattle. In addition, the ghosts and spirits involved in the "Nine Songs", such as "Eastern Emperor Taiyi", "Yunzhongjun", "Xiangjun Xiang Lady", "Great Si Ming ShaoSi Ming", "Dong Jun", "Hebo", etc., were all examined and sorted out in a section.

Luo Yong's "Introduction to the History of Chinese Literature" published by the Beijing Publishing Group not only includes Luo Yong's "Solution to the Nine Songs" and Its Reading Methods, but also includes "Introduction to the History of Chinese Literature" and "Five Lectures on Chinese Literature Education", which are the quintessence of the author. After the "Nine Songs" Solution and Its Reading Method, there is also an appendix to "What are the Nine Songs".

Wang Jun, a former student of Southwest United University, recalled in "Remembering the School Song Writer of the United Nations University - Luo Bingzhong Teacher" that "Mr. Bingzhong's reputation in the United Nations University was like thunder to the generation at that time... Both Mr. Luo Yong and Mr. Wen Yiduo talked about "Chu Ci", and both of them talked about "Nine Songs", and their views were very different, but they all had their own insights, they were all untouched by previous generations, and they played freely, studying the truth from different angles, and never attacking each other, while students could inspire their thinking and open their eyes, which is exactly the fascinating academic atmosphere of the United Nations General Assembly."
