One
In the autumn of 1991, he went to Beijing to assemble the manuscript and met Mr. Rover.
Previously, he wrote a group of op-eds about Hong Kong writers in Reading magazine, pen named Liu Su, who became more famous in the reading world.
I remember that morning, Zhao Liya and I went to Mr. Zhang Zhongxing's house in Langrun Garden, Peking University, watched Mr. Zhang's tibetan paintings, and had lunch at Mr. Zhang's house. We rode from Peking University to Double Elms to visit Mr. Rover.
Mr. Luo gave me a business card with Shi Lin'an, and he said that the name was registered at the police station. I hastily said at the time: "So many pseudonyms, like underground work." ”
That day, Mr. Luo asked me to go back to Shanghai and check the supplement of Wen Wei Po for more than six years, and find a poem by Nie Cyano. But I couldn't find it. I have a letter from Mr. Luo on December 10 of that year:
Cyanotic poetry tired you spent a lot of time. Mr. Wen Huaisha, who provided this information, spoke to him, and he suddenly lengthened the publication time from 1961 to 1963. 61 is unlikely, Nie was still trapped in the Northern Wilderness at that time, 62 only returned to Beijing, estimating that 63 is more likely. If it is not too troublesome, please check the supplement of 63 years; if it is too troublesome (I can understand the taste of the newspaper), then give up. Still want to thank you! It is said to be a seven-law poem written for Mr. Qian Zhongshu's annotated Song poems.
Letter from Rover on 10 December 1991
It turned out still not. Soon after, he received a letter from Mr. Luo of his collection of poems "Three Grasses" published in Hong Kong for Nie In the early 1980s, and also corrected many typos.
Nie's hong Kong-published poetry collection "Three Grasses"
Nie Cyan crossbow correction of typos
Years later, Mr. Rover wrote a paper entitled "Qian Zhongshu and Nie's Crossbow", which was published in the January 2000 issue of Vientiane. It turned out that in 1998, a gentleman in Beijing found the letters and sixty-eight poems written to him by Nie Shuyi over the years in the relics of the Hong Kong NewspaperMan Gao Brigade, including the one that Mr. Luo entrusted me to find, entitled "Selected Notes on Song Poems" and gave the author Qian Zhongshu:
The poems are easy to divide, and the whimsy is colorful. Overturned the water of the Pan River in the land and sea, drowning a poor and white text. It's really strange and true, it's true that you don't wear a hat, you don't wear a headscarf. My poems are not selected for some reason, and they are not Song people in the late millennium.
Mr. Luo introduced in the article that according to Wen Huaisha, Nie Qianyun saw the poems sent to him by Qian Zhongshu at his home, including "Non-Que Non-Strange Non-Road" (using the "Book of Southern Qi and Zhang Rongchuan" classic), and also crazy and chivalrous and Wenwen (using Gong Ding'an sentence), and sent this seven laws the next day. According to Nie's letter to Gao Lu at that time, Qian Zhongshu admired Nie Shi and gave him a "top hat". The letters cited by Rover to Gao Lu were later included in the ninth volume of the Complete Works of Nie Cyanobot, "Preface to the Letters" (Wuhan Publishing House, February 2004). Nie Shuyun wrote to Gao Lu at the end of 1961 that he had read many collections of Qing poetry, "The poems of all these people are not as good as Wang Fuzi's two sentences: 'The Six Classics rebuke me to open my face, and seven feet from heaven to be buried alive.'" These two sentences were given to me by Qian Zhongshu, saying that my poems could be comparable to these two sentences and recited for me. It's a top hat, and leave it alone. These two sentences are beyond the reach of any of the above" (p. 228).
The high hat sent out by Qian Zhongshu, Nie Cyan crossbow was still very useful, quite proud. Rover said in the article that later, in the poem "Spring Night And Winter Beggars and Grasses", There was a sentence that "seven feet can not be buried alive by heaven"; in the poem "Reply to the Book of Answers" written later, there is also a sentence of "Six Sutras of Life and Face Thoughts".
Gao Lu's original name was Shao Yuancheng, the character was cautious, at that time in the Hong Kong "Wen Wei Po" edited a supplement, may have nie Cyan crossbow poems published in the Hong Kong "Wen Wei Po", and Wen Huaisha mistakenly recorded as Shanghai "Wen Wei Po", of course, I could not find it. Rover wrote an essay, "High Brigade and Nie Cyan Crossbow," which was included in a collection of essays published by Hong Kong Tiandi Books in 2007, "The Colorful Wenyuan." The above mention of Rover's collection of poems published in Hong Kong for Nie Cyan crossbow, "Three Grasses", is also a preface written by Gao Lu.
Two
Just a year before Mr. Rover entrusted me with a search for Nie's gift poem, someone had already discovered the poem and wrote an article to submit it to the Shanghai Liberation Daily. Chen Zhao, the editor of the supplementary magazine, sent the article to Qian Zhongshu for review, and the original of Qian Zhongshu's reply appeared at the spring auction of Xiling Printing Society in 2018:
Brother Zhao:Seat:
The book and the attachments are both laughing and sighing. Wen Jun's self-boasting, Ma Jun's partiality of listening to and believing, can be shocked. Decades ago, Wenjun was diligent in climbing the knot and forced me to give me poems, and I used Zhang Rong as a sentence for stealing Gong Dingchang's sentence ("also crazy" Yunyun). It is the so-called Nie Jun's union that is actually from me (or secretly with me). This article is not entirely untrue in the text, but also contrary to the facts, and it is thought to be mistaken by Wen Jun. I do not save this poem of social involvement, that is, to Nie Junkeye. If the original union comes from me, then I should beat the palm of my hand; if I think about the parallel and continuous word of the word "road", and the word "turban" is "the scarf of the head", how can the word be used as a word of the Lord' genus? There are many untrustworthy points in Marvin (such as saying that "getting" Too Yan "love of the couple", not saying that his teacher is risking Guangsheng, and saying that he and the foolish couple are "seeking the same qi" and so on), and they do not have time to do one thing at a time. When publishing, I must delete the pull and my place, I do not like such boasting, nor do I want to be used by others as a foil for self-bragging. If you do not delete and correct the mistake, then I will write a letter to correct it, expose some of the background, and defeat those who oppose Ma Jun, who is unfavorable to Wen Jun. Hurried restoration, that is, ode
Compiled on the book of Qian Chung on November 9

Qian Zhongshu's reply to Chen Zhao
According to the envelope postmark, it was November 20, 1990. The "Ma Jun" mentioned in the letter is unknown, and that article should not have been published. Chen Zhao just passed away in December last year, and I had contacts with him in the 1990s, but I didn't know it at the time, and now I can't ask about it. From Qian Zhongshu's reply, it can be seen that Nie's poem "Really Strange True Road, No Shirt, No Walking, No Turban", although out of the money gift poem "not enough is not a strange road, but also crazy and gentle", but Qian believes that "turban" can not be on the "road", if he writes such a verse, "then I should hit the palm of my hand". Qian Zhongshu gave Wen Huaisha a complete poem, and it seems that it has not been published.
While Qian Zhongshu gave out a high hat, he often hid the palm of his hand. Nie Cyan crossbow should not know the whisper of money. He still admired Qian Zhongshu, and his letter to Gao Lu included "Qian Zhongshu for those who are well-known for their erudition in Hainei", and the letter to Shu Wu said: "I will not appreciate the main reference to artistic attainments and origins, such as those discussed in Qian Zhongshu.". Interestingly, in a letter to Shu Wu on February 2, 1977, Nie Cyan said:
Qian Zhongshu can see at a glance what someone has done from someone, and in my experience, it is only a matter of words. He said that my poetry was due to the Zodiac Week, which is a lie. At the end of the Ming Dynasty, surnamed Huang, I know a Huang Xingzhou and one of his poems, which is the one you introduced, and later encountered it in the collection of remnants of the late Ming Dynasty (and also met a few Tongcheng fellows). As for the Zodiac Week, it was far less familiar than Li Zhuowu and Jin Shengsi, and I hardly even knew whether there was such a public figure. Qian Gongzhen read a belly of poetry, filled with a stomach of tongxu and the like, seeing whose poem can immediately see what it looks like, this is naturally a skill, but it is very dangerous to talk about the whole world. (The Complete Works of Nie Cyanotype, vol. IX, p. 380)
"What a lie" almost secretly responded to "the palm of the hand", although it was said more than ten years in advance.
