People should have responsibility and insight.

Mr. Chen Yinke is a historian and admired by the academic community. Three of his hundred papers were on linguistics, one of which was "Cutting Rhymes from Historical Facts", which can be called a classic of linguistic historiography. 18 years ago, I once published an article entitled "Yan Zhi Pushing Puzzle and Its Half Solution", and although I am dying of old age, I am still not ready, and I am pondering the problem of "Chang'an On Rhyme" during the early Sui Dynasty. Reading the Book of Sui again, I can't help but add several points to the respect for the famous Sui Dynasty xiang Gao Jiao: his person "Lide" and "meritorious service" were the first people in the Sui Dynasty, even in the entire history of China, such as Gao Jiao, a politician like Gao Hao was rare. "Sui Shu Gao Jiao Biography": "When the dynasty reigned for twenty years, the government and the opposition were subjugated, there was no objection to the things, the rule led to shengping, and the power of the jaws was also, and the commentators thought that they were the real prime minister." The Book of Sui says that gao yi stands tall and acts and "takes the world as his own responsibility", and I believe that this spirit of responsibility of the ancient sages of my Chinese nation should be vigorously praised. During the Northern Song Dynasty, Fan Zhongyan's famous sentence, "Before the world is worried and worried, after the world is happy and happy", it has been praised for thousands of years without fading, which is the essence of traditional Chinese culture!

The generals who can be called "sages" have their broad minds and enthusiastic spirit of responsibility, which are naturally beyond the reach of ordinary people. However, I think that the "humble" students of my generation should also have responsibility and insight. I am a linguist, from the beginning of college undergraduate knowledge and learning, for decades, "buried in the head to pull the car", to the old age, "look up the road", look around most of the sub-disciplines of linguistics, to the beginning of the twenty-first century, have made great progress, can not be gratifying? Some of the rich results of the study of the history of words in the Middle Ages and modern times are particularly impressive. However, there are also a few sub-disciplines that are as desert as deserts and have never been taken care of, that is, the "History of Chinese and Chinese Dialectology and Thought", and chinese and foreign specialists in the study of Chinese language, even some scholars who regard themselves very highly and look down on others abroad are also like cicadas, without words.

There are other disciplines that, although existing, have been slow to progress, such as "Chinese poetics". In the history of world literature, China is a country of poetry, there is no doubt about righteousness, and poetry creation, starting from the era of the Book of Poetry bc, has continued to this day, and is brilliant. There are always laws in things, and there must be laws in poetry. Mr. Wang Li's book "Chinese Poetics" is magnificent and majestic, covering ancient and modern times, covering Zhou Zhan. Written by Mr. Wang before and after the victory of the War of Resistance Against Japan, this book has been recognized as a classic work of Chinese poetics for 60 years since it came out in the 1950s. Mr. Wang has also condensed it into popular science works "Poetry Grammar", "Summary of Poetry Grammar", and "Ten Lectures on Poetry Grammar". The successive publication of two types of books has made poetics a well-known and beloved discipline for Xinxin students.

In addition to writing books and lectures, Mr. Wang Li also lectured and taught himself, which scholars who study the history of poetics, such as Li Fei, have not noticed, and I will recount a period of history here. Chinese In 1958, Mr. Wang opened a new course for us, namely "Chinese Poetics", which is twice a week for one semester. Mr. Wang always went to class on time, got off class on time, did not have a word of gossip, did not have a word of nonsense, and the whole process was academic. The last exam question was to write a poem or fill in a word, I filled in a word, the name of the word was forgotten, when the Iraqi military coup d'état, the overthrow of the king, I only remember my so-called "word work", there is a sentence is "the crown landed".

We are pleased to see that in the past sixty years, there have been dozens of books published on the laws of poetry and music, which have done a great job in popularizing classical culture. However, if we talk about scholarship, the progress of Chinese poetics is not ideal, and many books are just imitations of Mr. Wang Li's "Poetic Rhythm", and the ancient poems cited are replaced by examples, and there is not much progress in scholarship. At the beginning of this century, I thought, I worried, that a discipline has made little progress over the decades, and it is not quite right. Poetics needs to progress, and to make progress, it needs to cultivate successors. In 1981, we also established a degree system in China, which can train a small number of doctoral students to engage in professional research in poetic law. However, poetics, strictly speaking, is a "marginal discipline" or "interdisciplinary", spanning the two university disciplines of literature and linguistics, and the master's and doctoral students of linguistics often focus on the scope of authentic linguistics, such as the discussion of language phenomena in a certain era, the study of a monograph, and so on, which is difficult. I believe that for the inheritance and development of Chinese scholarship, teachers with doctoral students should have responsibility, insight, and achievement. My major is mainly phonology, which is closely related to poetics, and the three components of poetics are related to phonology, namely, the use of rhymes and flatness. After thinking about it, I think that as a teacher of phonology, I should take on the task of cultivating poetic lawyers! This involves finding candidates and selecting talents from among young doctoral students. In 2003, Li Fei graduated from Shaanxi Normal University directly under the Ministry of Education with a master's degree and was admitted to Nanjing University for a doctorate. In the process of his study, we became familiar with him, and I saw that his character, quality, and understanding were better, so I suggested that he take poetics as the direction of his specialization, and he accepted my suggestion. For just one example, he marked the poems of nearly 600 poets in the Southern and Northern Dynasties and Sui Dynasty parts of the Southern and Northern Dynasties and the Sui Dynasty in the three thick books compiled by Mr. Lu Qinli, as well as the more than 2,400 poems of the early Tang Dynasty in the Quan Tang Poetry, which marked the middle tone, which required perseverance and perseverance! His doctoral dissertation passed the defense, and after he went to work, he still read the book and continued to "sharpen the sword" for 14 years, and finally achieved this monograph "Research on the Evolution of the Poetic Laws of the Early Tang Dynasty", which is commendable and commendable!

Mr. Wang Li's "Chinese Poetics" is the pioneering work of poetic law, and it is appropriate for the successors to do the work of refinement (or "refinement"), which seems to be the general law of academic history research, for example, after the publication of the "History of Chinese Literature" as a general history, it should be followed by the history of the Broken Dynasty", "History of Literature of the Han Dynasty", "History of Literature of the Song Dynasty", and "History of Chinese Poetry". Li Fei's "Research on the Evolution of The Poetic Rhythm of the Early Tang Dynasty" is an authentic history of broken poetry, which is the embodiment of refinement. This book describes the transition of Chinese poetry from the Six Dynasties to the middle stage of the Tang Dynasty. Li Fei also divided the early Tang Dynasty period he studied into three stages, one by one, and described them one by one, which were not "fine" and why? I hope that Li Fei and other friends who study the history of poetry will take advantage of the victory and move forward, continue to study and write the "History of Poetry in the Sheng Tang Dynasty" and "History of Poetry in the Song Dynasty", and so on, so that the study of poetry will become a big country and more bright flowers will bloom in the academic garden.

When I read Li Fei's manuscript and read his "equal amount of theory", I couldn't help but get excited and silently said, "Deep in my heart". For more than ten years, my academic thought and academic practice have advanced from specific research to theoretical sublimation, and strive to "be hard with both hands". Li Fei proposed that the "equality of the theory" is the rational sublimation of specific research, which makes me quote the same way. Writing here, I take the opportunity to write a preface for Li Fei to "sell" a little experience of my exploration of Chinese poetic law, I may as well advertise itself, call it "theory", that is, "poetry is biased (or 'preferred') flat voice", briefly describing the meaning: 1. The vast majority of near-body poems rhyme with flat sound rhyme, and very few rhyme rhymes, such as the famous poets Wang Anshi, Fan Chengda, and Yuan Haowen of Song Jinzhi, who have written more than a thousand near-body poems, Wang Anshi and Fan Chengdaquan rhymed flat, and Yuan Haoqing only had two rhymes 2. Avoid lonely flatness, that is, there must not be only one flat word; 3." Rescue": For reasons such as expression and intention, there is a need for Lonely Ping, that is, "Struggle", which must be saved after the word or in the next sentence, that is, to save Lonely Ping. 4. Avoid "three flat tones". The above four points I mentioned in the article on Professor Guo Qinna's "Poetic Law" a few years ago. However, when I retired and taught in Hangzhou, I spent eight months and read more than a dozen aesthetic books, such as Mr. Zhu Guangqian's "History of Western Aesthetics" and "Psychology of Literature and Art", which I read verbatim, so I knew the general path of aesthetics. Now I am trying aesthetics to explain some of the above phenomena, can I say this: avoid loneliness, talk about rescue, avoid three flats, in summary, there is an aesthetic principle at the bottom of it, to borrow my Chinese most holy "too much is not enough" words, I try to extend, "too much is not enough", not enough to judas, only the middle is positive. Lonely and difficult, not as good as also; three flat, too, moderate for beauty.

The book is in the Li Fei alumni and the Fang family.

The last chapter of Li Fei's book is "Chinese Poetics" journal error filling gaps", if Mr. Wang saw it before his death, he would be very happy. I once wrote a reminiscence article, which is briefly described below. In the first semester of 1965, Mr. Wang Li asked me to be his assistant teacher, and one day I went to Mr. Wang's house to report on the students' learning. Bi, with a feeling of anxiety, I said to my husband: "There seems to be a problem in the first volume of the "Ancient Chinese" that you edited,......" Mr. Wang interrupted me and said: "Wait a minute." He got up and went upstairs, and after a while, Deng, Deng, Deng, Mr. Wang, holding a book in his left hand and a pen in his right hand, went downstairs and sat down, opened the book, and said, "Please tell me, which page?" What's the problem? After listening to me, Mr. Wang wrote it down, and then closed the book: "Tell me at any time what problems you find and what mistakes you find later." "More than half a century has passed, but this scene has been like the present.

I'll nag a few more words. Contemporary scholars of ancient Chinese poetry are nothing more than two kinds of scholars, one is a historian of Chinese literature and the other is a historian of Chinese language. The work of the former can be summed up in two words, known as "ethereal", the advantages are here, and the negative is also here. The latter can also be summed up in two words, known as "Plain", Kaishan's book "Chinese Poetic Law", and his successor "Research on the Evolution of Poetic Rhythm in the Early Tang Dynasty". What is "plain"? The second volume of Mr. Fan Wenlan's "General History of China" is recorded: "The best thing about the Yan Family Training lies in the fact that the arguments are plain. Plain and not ordinary, real and different from the worldly. "Isn't exhaustive data and accurate statistics the embodiment of "plainness"?

Li Fei's book, many chapters, I am interested, helpless energy decline, dizzy, why not? There will be many victories and righteousnesses in the book, but unfortunately I have not been able to make a decision and praise, and I hope that Li Fei will forgive me. In the future, I will no longer make a preface for people, because I have not covered up the beauty of other people's great works, sin and sin, although not intentionally.

This preface is titled "Heel Succession Of Former Cultivation Journeys", and its meaning is twofold: as a re-disciple of Mr. Wang Li, Li Feiji's achievements in this monograph for more than ten years can be congratulated. Moreover, compared with Teacher Tai's famous mountain works, Li Fei's book is naturally still very "tender". It is believed that Li Fei will persevere and strive for the upstream, so he gave it as a "journey away".

In fact, this "heeling the journey of cultivation is far away" is also my self-encouragement and self-encouragement.

At the end of the writing, I would like to quote Zhu Zi to conclude: "When I am old, I feel that reading is delicious, and there are not many days to hate, and it is a pity that time is also a pity." ”
