Introduction: With the popularity of the TV series "The Age of Awakening", a group of advanced Chinese people in the May Fourth period have once again entered the public's field of vision. Among them, including a large number of advanced intellectuals during the May Fourth New Culture Movement, Huang Kan is one of them. The historical Huang Kan is more legendary than the presentation of film and television dramas, and can be called an out-and-out genius and eccentric.
Huang Kan, born in Xiangmendi, his father was a famous scribe. Thanks to the good family style, Huang Kan has had a good study and understanding of traditional Chinese culture since childhood, and he won xiucai at the age of fifteen. But even so, Huang Kan, who was proficient in the passage of scripture and history, was not a pedantic reader; he had a broad vision and a profound understanding of the current situation; he was expelled from school for propagating anti-Qing ideas, and later dismissed from his post for propagating the revolution.
Huang Kan once studied with Zhang Taiyan and Liu Shipei, both of whom were famous masters of traditional Chinese studies in modern times and had a pivotal position in phonology.
The title "Madman" comes from
When we mention Huang Kan, in addition to his knowledge and contributions, what is more interesting is his own anecdotes. He was called a "madman", and there are many opinions about the origin of this title, but from the historical records of Huang Kan, it can be seen that he was indeed a miracle.
Huang Kan's father died early, and his mother was very filial. When you go out, you will take your mother with you, and you will even carry the birthday materials prepared for your mother with your father's handwritten inscription. His filial piety in serving his mother became the talk of the people, which became one of the reasons why the world called him a "madman".
In Feng Youlan's pen, Huang Kan is also a person with a very strange temper and even a little childlike mentality. He once lived in the mansion of a friend surnamed Wu, and then the two broke up, and when he left, Huang Kan wrote the words "the world's first murderous house" on the beam of Wu Zhao's house, and now it is quite unbearable to read.
Eccentric teacher
While teaching at Chuo University, Huang Kan set a strange-looking rule for his job: he would not go to work when he was sick, the weather was bad, and he was unhappy. To tell the truth, Mr. Huang Kan is afraid that he did not say the voice of many social animals in the last century...
During his teaching at Peking University, Huang Kan often ignored the school's rules on wearing the school badge to enter and exit the campus, and once quarreled with the school staff, thanks to the principal to break the siege, Huang Kan was able to enter the campus.
Many anecdotes occurred when Huang Kan was teaching at the school, the most widely circulated of which was naturally his controversy with Chen Duxiu and others who advocated a new culture. Huang Kan focuses on primary school and has deep achievements in phonology and writing. He and Chen Duxiu, who is committed to spreading new culture, are naturally in a state of clear barriers and ready to quarrel at any time. Huang Kan himself has a bad temper and will often make a big fuss. He once heard Chen Duxiu talk about those who had not yet come out of college in Hubei and made ironic remarks - Huang Kan himself was a Hubei native. This wave has a bit of a child's sense of quarrelling.
In addition to this incident, Huang Kan had many ridicules and ridicules about Chen Duxiu, Hu Shi and others who advocated the new cultural revolution. He was talented, but his temper was very strange and very large, often "rectal cannon", engaged in economics Ma Yinchu once asked him for advice on "Explaining Words", he was unceremoniously scared back, according to relevant records, Huang Kan's statement at that time was like this: "You still get the economy to go, 'primary school' is easy to talk about, you don't understand it." One thing to say, Huang Kan may be telling the truth, but the tone and content are really not very friendly, not very able to take into account the faces of others, Ma Yinchu, who intended to consult and learn from the humble heart, was intimidated and had to leave silently.
Huang Kan outside of the eccentric temper
Although he has a bad temper with his colleagues, he does not like to follow some school rules. However, as a teacher, Huang Kan is still very serious about school work and does not challenge students. He lectured without reading books or reading lecture notes, but he still quoted and talked endlessly. Some students have consulted the allusions quoted by Huang Kan in class after class, and the words are correct and there is no mistake, which shows the profundity of his knowledge. What is more interesting is that this teacher does not assign homework to students, nor does he like to correct the test papers to score, and the school authorities are in a hurry, so they deliver a note and read "Eighty points per person". To digress, today's college students, who doesn't want such a "special professor"?
Although Huang Kan's temper was a little strange, he was very open and clear in front of the great right and wrong. Yuan Shikai moved against the tide of history, and when he created a public opinion momentum for the emperor to ascend the throne, he took a fancy to Huang Kan's reputation and intended to win him over, but Huang Kan was not moved, and also wrote poems to ridicule. For the academic celebrities who are attached to Yuan Shikai, Huang Kan dares to speak out against it.
Huang Kan was a member of the Old Alliance, so he was mostly a magnate, but he did not want to associate with them, and he was ashamed to be called a clinger. But at the same time, Huang Kan is a person who cherishes love and righteousness. Zhang Taiyan was placed under house arrest for opposing Yuan Shikai's claim to be emperor, but Huang Kan dared to take the risk to accompany him, and Yuan Shikai did not dare to kill Huang Kan because of huang Kan's reputation, and finally expelled him from the Zhang mansion.
end:
Huang Kan, who is known as "a master of primary schools since Qianjia", once said that "I have not written books under fifty years." Unfortunately, shortly after the age of fifty, Huang Kan died. He is deeply learned, and if there is a writing circulating, it must be a great contribution to the primary school, and now that he thinks about it, it makes people sigh.
