Among Fu Sinian's personality, the most ostentatious is "hegemony", and the most criticized is also "hegemony". He was a man of great backbone, frank and honest, and changed the habits of some intellectuals to only promise and mingzhe to protect themselves, so he won the nicknames of "Fu Cannon", "Fu Tiger", "Cao Da Cheng Xiang" and so on. Love desires its eternal life, and hate desires its quick death.
Fu Si Nian
"They run when they see me, I'm lonely"
Fu Sinian's "hegemony" is to face it squarely as responsibility and courage, and to show his leadership and organizational strength; he is arbitrary and conceited, and it is inevitable that there will be prejudices and misunderstandings about people and things. Moreover, aggressive, even if justified, is difficult to accept. After Fu Sinian's death, Jiang Menglin recalled: "He can say whatever he wants in his heart. He says one is one, two is two, and there is no other meaning in it, but sometimes it offends people. ”
In the winter of 1943, Wang Shixiang came to Chongqing from Beiping and wanted to work at the Institute of History and Language of the Academia Sinica, where the big names gathered. He is a master's degree from Yenching University, good english and good history, and asked Liang Sicheng, a Tsinghua classmate of the eldest brother Wang Shifu, to introduce him, full of confidence, and feel that there is a drama in the history of the language. Unexpectedly, Fu "Overlord" only said two words during the interview, and squeezed him away.
Fossian first asked, "What school did you graduate from?" Wang answered: "Undergraduate and Research Institute of Chinese Literature Department of Yenching University." Fu then came to the second sentence: "Those who graduated from Yenching University are not worthy to come to the Shiyu Institute." Wang Shixiang blushed and came out of his office. Liang Sicheng had no choice but to put him in the "self-reserved land" Of China Construction Society as an assistant researcher.
In addition to his alma mater Peking University, probably only the historiography skills of the teachers and students of the Institute of Chinese Studies of Tsinghua University can make Fu Sinian look at him with astonishment, and not many other universities will enter his eyes.
Yenching University is one of the famous universities in the Republic of China, founded in 1916, the school motto is "Freedom Through Truth For Service". The first president, Stu Leiden, made great strides and achieved remarkable results in governing the school, and the reputation of Yanda in China's education circles has directly chased tsinghua and Peking University. "Peking University is old, the teacher is poor, Tsinghua and Yanjing can be accommodating", this is the standard for female students to choose a son-in-law in Peking Colleges and Universities before the "July Seven" incident.
The story of Fu Sinian and Wang Shixiang also has a wonderful "two sentences" follow. Wang Shixiang did a good job in the China Construction Society, and after the victory of the War of Resistance, he cleaned up and recovered the cultural relics that were looted by the enemy and the fakes, and made a lot of contributions. From September 1945 to October 1946, six batches of cultural relics were recovered.
In November 1946, Wang Shixiang attended the meeting of the Qing Loss Society in Nanjing, and was about to go to Japan to negotiate the return of cultural relics lost during the war. Fu Si Nian said two more words to him at the meeting. The first sentence is: "You go to Japan to work, and when you go to the cultural relics, you should be very, very aggressive, as you are in Hiraizu." The second sentence is: "When you came to see me in Chongqing that year, I didn't know you could still work, and if I knew, I would leave you behind." Fu preconceived not to forget Wang's "running errands" and yenching University background, rather than his academic potential, which makes people cry and laugh.
The young people of the Institute of History and Language were all cultivated by Fu Sinian, had received his strict training and cultivation, loved him, respected him, feared him, and saw him like a mouse seeing a cat. Every day after dinner at 5 p.m., the staff of the Shi Yu Institute came out to hang out, and when they saw Director Fu coming from a distance, they ran away. Fu was very frustrated and helpless, and told his disciple Wang Shumin: "They run when they see me, I am lonely. ”
Fu Si Nian is fat, can pat his stomach, and is proud to be fat. One day, Tao Menghe, director of the Institute of Social Research of the Academia Sinica, went to the Institute of History and Language, felt that the atmosphere was very different from the previous time, and said to Dong Zuobin: "The fat cat has returned, the mischievous little rat on the mountain, these days have been lost." Dong Zuobin sighed at this, "Mr. Meng Zhen was originally a piece of pure heart for his friends and for his fans, and the place where the fans loved him was here, but the young people who had received 'training' 'respected' and 'feared' but suppressed their 'love'." ”
The historian Hoz was all a student of Fossian and later followed him on the academic path of the Institute of History. He said: "Like most of the seniors and students in the institute, I have both respect and restraint for Mr. Fu, and I use three words to express it, that is, 'respect', 'fear', and 'pro'. His cousins He Siyuan and Fu Sinian were classmates of Peking University and comrades-in-arms of the New Wave Society, who studied together in Germany and worked as a professor at Sun Yat-sen University after returning to China.
He Ziquan entered Peking University to study, he Siyuan asked Professor Fu Sinian to be a guarantor, so He Ziquan was afraid to return to fear, and dared to pluck up courage and tell Director Fu in person: "Everyone is afraid of you, we are chatting there, there is talk and laughter, as soon as you come, everyone will slip away." Fu said, "Damn, I'm so unpopular." He replied: "No, there is no one who does not welcome you, respects you, kisses you, but is happy and restrained with you." ”
In December 1995, He Ziquan was invited to Taiwan to participate in the Symposium on the Centenary of Fu Si's Birth. After the meeting, the 85-year-old He Ziquan went to the tomb of Fu Sinian of Taiwan University to pay homage, performed three bows, and then knelt down with his wife Guo Liangyu to mourn, and Mr. He Lao still cried. Teachers have benevolence, students are grateful, and it is also a good story of Chinese teacher-student affection and teacher-student relationship.
Master Chen Yinke also had a headache about Fu Sinian's "domineering spirit" and stayed away. Because Chen was stranded after returning to Guizhou from Hong Kong and did not come to Li Zhuang's office, Fu forced the Academia Sinica to dismiss Chen's full-time researcher and reduce his salary, and the two were somewhat estranged.
In the spring of 1943, Chen Yinke wrote a poem "The Feeling of Spring in the Decadence" to his colleagues in the Institute of History and Language, and the jaw union was: "Reading has gradually become a Qin official, and the city must eventually avoid the Chu people." "It seems to imply his dissatisfaction with Fu Sinian, believing that Fu Sinian has become a 'Qin official' and that he needs to hide from it." According to Wu Mi's diary, on September 16, 1945, Chen Yinke's wife Tang Yun complained to the visiting Wu Mi that "Fu Silai's letter was rude and rude."
"When he dies and encounters things to argue for reason, no one comes out to fight for you."
When he was in Lizhuang, the child of a colleague of the Shiyu Institute took incense and burned the praying mantis, and when he saw it, he kicked the child's ass and said angrily: "How can I be so cruel since I was a child!" His discipline of this mischievous child exudes his kindness to the little animals.
Fu Si Nian has the ancient style of a Confucian celebrity. He has never had a good face for corruption and blasphemy, and he is willing to shave his body and dare to pull down the two chief executives (Kong Xiangxi and Song Ziwen). However, for grass-roots employees, students, and co-workers, they are not impulsive, but are amiable; if they are impulsive, they often regret and remedy.
Many people are afraid of Fu Si Nian's madness, but some people "like" him to be mad. The secretary, Na Lianjun, recalled that Fu Sinian's co-worker in the director's office in Nanjing, Lao Pei, most hoped that Fu would lose his temper with him. Because after Fu vented, nine times out of ten he would regret it, "he lost his temper in the morning, and in the afternoon a manuscript fee sent by a magazine was given to Lao Pei by a gu brain" to apologize.
That Lianjun protected cultural relics, and Director Fu was repeatedly "tortured" and still obediently cooperated. The Chinese Song edition books are all national treasures, and have always been the treasures of the collectors, known as "one page of Song editions, one or two gold". The Northern Song Dynasty periodical "Shi Ji", the Southern Song Dynasty periodical Shu Ben "Nanhua Zhenjing", and the Southern Song Dynasty magazine "Wenyuan Yinghua" are collectively known as the "Three Treasures of the Town Hall" of the Fu Sinian Library of the "Academia Sinica" in Taiwan.
After the victory of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, Fu Sinian, after several considerations, studies, and consulted experts, made a huge amount of 100 million yuan to purchase 40 volumes of the Northern Song Edition, the Southern Song Dynasty Repair, and the Southern Song Dynasty Seal for shiyu and put them in the safe. Hu Shi, Zhao Wanli and others agreed that "this is the oldest surviving "Historical Record"." Hu Shi supported Fu Si Nian's huge purchase of books, encouraging: "You are not wrong in this magnificent move. Fu loved this book very much, and as soon as he had time, he asked the Lianjun who was in charge of keeping it to his office to read it.
The gentleman dutifully dutifully "kept an eye on" the director every time to prevent his pipe or cigar. The large ceiling fan in Fu's office blew the pages of the "old antique" book hissed, and between each page there was a piece of tobacco leaf used to prevent moisture, almost flying, and the Lianjun immediately turned off the fan. Fu Was fat and afraid of heat, sweating profusely, and helpless, made a very innocent expression, and even said: "Good, good!" Another time, he sighed and said to the guests, "You see, I am also restricted!" ”
According to the minutes of the meetings of the Institute of History and Language, almost all of Fu Sinian's proposals were "adopted by consensus," but some of them were not adopted. For example, at the council meeting on 25 January 1931, he proposed that "the last minute of each edition of the Institute's proceedings (equivalent to a quarterly journal) should be accompanied by a translation into English summary of all papers in this edition." ”
His original intention is very good, there is an English abstract to facilitate publicity, it is easier to attract the attention of the international academic community. However, Chen Yin objected, believing that "this matter is extremely difficult", and the reason is also very good: the research directions of our colleagues are different, the professionalism is too strong, the interlacing is like a mountain, I am afraid that no one can be competent for translation, even if they have a hard time translating, it is best to attach only English topics. The final decision of the meeting was "reserved for the next discussion", which was essentially to shelve Director Fu Si Nian's proposal.
Fu "Fat Cat" presided over the affairs of the Institute of History and Language for 22 years and 3 months, during which the funds, equipment, books, projects, etc. required by the History Language were mainly coordinated by him. He went to ask Chiang Kai-shek, Cai Yuanpei, Chen Cheng, Zhu Jiahua, Hu Shi, and others for funds, and often did not return empty-handed, still less did he treat him badly. In June 1949, prices in Taiwan were high, and professors at National Taiwan University had a hard time. Zhu Jiahua had just been promoted to vice president of the Executive Yuan, and Fu Silai sent a telegram to congratulate him, and with a false shot, he reached out for money and applied for an additional month's full salary for NTU faculty. Zhu Jiahua gave instructions: "The central government's financial difficulties are extreme, and the brother tried to negotiate with Yan Gong (according to the then chief executive Yan Xishan) to raise a subsidy. ”
He has long been in an era of political instability, endless war, economic constraints, bureaucratic corruption, and social unrest, and is good at using the close interpersonal relations established with the top level of the government to carry out high-quality academic research for himself, friends, and rookies, looking for necessary support and breakthroughs to the limit. Tao Xisheng once said: "When Fu Si Nian was alive, people were afraid of him, but when he died and encountered things to argue for, no one came out to fight for you." ”
Once, Fu Sinian raised a small sum of money in Chongqing, and the trustee brought back Li Zhuang and distributed it to his colleagues in the Shiyu Institute. The division is perverse: those with low positions and more people share more money. The high position is not happy, there are complaints. Fu had foresight, and the letter had prophesied: "After you get this money, some people will eat a lot, and some people will scold." ”
Mao Zishui admired Fu Sinian the most among his classmates at Peking University, and he served at CUHK, Peking University, and National Taiwan University, all of which were promoted by Fu Sinian. There are goods in the belly, but the eloquence is general, there is also self-knowledge, teaching is not their own strengths, love to collect literature, self-effacing is "dilettante" (press: half hanging). Fu Si nian knew that people were good at appointment, and recommended him to concurrently serve as the director of the Peking University Library, but he was not satisfied with his old friend's contentment with the status quo and did not seek progress. In front of Mao at National Taiwan University, he said, "It is not because of the current situation, I will never ask you to teach." Mao commented on Fu: "The greatest place is in the heart of his grand duke"; "For the head of a country's academic institutions, knowledge is important, but impartiality is particularly important." Meng Zhen's intellectual genius is certainly rare, but his Grand Duke Zhizheng's heart is particularly rare! ”

"Mr. Fu's struggle is for the public, not for selfishness, for people, not for himself"
Meng Zhen is very fierce and real. Professor Huang Jilu, who worked with Fu Sinian as early as Sun Yat-sen University, believes that Fu Sinian's nature is "a figure like a naïve, pure and righteous hero"; "in today's society, which is generally shrouded in the vices of heavy profit and light righteousness, hypocrisy and snobbery in the world", such a person "makes you nail a thing to your heart and will never forget it.". Wu Li, another professor at Sun Yat-sen University and a peking university classmate who has been friends with Fu for more than three decades, said that he "did not see him bow his head once" and "did not smell the slightest smell of bureaucrats and politicians."
Cheng Cangbo, who has been in contact with Fu for more than 20 years and was familiar with the academia sinensis at the beginning of its establishment, said, "I have never felt proud of him, I only feel that his enthusiasm is overflowing and mellow. In the eyes of the reporters who often interviewed him, "he was one of the kindest and most simple and popular scholars" and "kind and sincere."
The soul of the thinker and forerunner must be free, the heart is usually broad, and the words and deeds are often lonely. The so-called "those who are in a hurry are easy to lack, and those who are in a hurry are easy to pollute." The song of "Yang Chun", and the one who is harmonious will be widowed, under the fame, it is actually difficult to match." ("Later Han Shu Huang Qiong Biography") Fu Sinian is whimsical, maverick, riding a dust, the knowledge is scarce, and there is a lot of criticism.
Someone scolded Fu Si Nian for "a person who doesn't know himself in the mirror." Professor Liu Puren, head of the Department of Business at NTU Law School, explained to President Fu in a tit-for-tat manner: "In fact, this is not Mr. Fu's shortcoming, on the contrary, this is his selfless and great personality. Someone scolded Fu Si Nian for "stumbling". Wang Shumin, a disciple who had followed Fu Si for ten years, was upset with the "most revered teacher in his life": "On the surface, it seems to be a trek, but Mr. Fu's trek is for the public, not for selfishness, for people, not for himself." ”
Zhu Jiahua also defended Fu Sinian's "madness" and "going it alone". He said, "Meng Zhen is a man, a man of great stature, a man of great ego and talent, a writer of literature, and a grand eloquent speech"; "A common-eyed and empty-minded corporal,...... It is crazy, so it is full of emotion and friendship. In order to implement his ideas and fulfill his duties, he often has the ability to rank among the crowds and go it alone. ”
Fu Si Nian loves to win his life, not only is he not overbearing, he is simply willing to be a "nanny". There is no need to say more about the respectful care of masters such as Chen Yinke, Zhao Yuanren, and Liang Sicheng, and there are also many potential academic newcomers. "I am most willing to be an adult in my life, especially willing to guide young people and promote backward progress." The reason why Wang Shixiang was squeezed away by Fu Sinian's "two sentences" was that nine times out of ten was his talent at that time, and it was not enough to impress Fu.
Qu Wanli once recalled how a young colleague with no background entered the Institute of History. When Shi Yu was stationed in Lizhuang, Sichuan, this young man was wandering around the neighborhood, wanting to see Fu Sinian but did not dare to see him. Just happened to meet Fu Si Nian came out, he plucked up the courage, greeted him and introduced himself, saying that he was a graduate of a certain university, heard how good the Institute of History and Language was, and wanted to work at the Institute of History and Language without being introduced. Fu Si Nian "talked to him and thought this young man was very good, so he used him."
He assigned work to the staff of the Institute of History and Language, and would use the tone of discussion; his subordinates could not carry out the work for any reason, and he did not think that he was sorry; the relationship with Qian Mu was delicate, but Qian's proud protégé Yan Geng at Wuhan University hoped to have real talent and practical learning, and he had no view of the portal, so he still hired and reused it. In mid-July 1945, Yan Gengwang proposed himself and wrote a cover letter to Fu Sinian with three papers, but he "did not have much hope" himself. On August 21, he actually received a reply from Fu Si the day before, saying that he admired the masterpiece, agreed to the request, and informed him of the title according to the academy's constitution, which made Yan Xi overjoyed.
On August 22, Yan Gengwang went to the chongqing Academia sinensis office to meet Fu Sinian leisurely, and Fu said that he had a lot of things to do now, and hoped that Yan would stay in Chongqing for the time being and help him deal with some paperwork matters. Yan believed that he was the most incompetent and his writing was also very stagnant, so on the first day of reporting, he refused the first order issued by Director Fu: "You cannot take on this task." Fu was not reluctant and immediately said, "Then you will go to Li Zhuang Shiyu first." Afterwards, Yan recalled that he was too blunt, "it was too nerdy", and "Mr. Fu was very measured!" Academician Xing Muhuan and Academician Yu Yingshi of the "Academia Sinica" in Taiwan laughed when they heard Academician Yan Gengwang tell this story.
Yan Gengwang graduated from the History Department of Wuhan University, his wife graduated from the History Department of Central University, and after the birth of the eldest son, the family expenses were large and the living was poor. After Fu Sinian learned from other sources, he not only sent the examination fee for his review of papers for the Ministry of Education to the young man to save the emergency, but also took the initiative to find a job for his wife. Jean Yan wrote a resume of his wife, and he recommended it to the examination institute for employment, but it was unsuccessful; and he recommended it to the National Compilation Hall, and finally succeeded. The gesture of the teacher walking out of the door of the Shi Yu Institute with his wife's resume often appeared in front of Yan's eyes. After Fu Sinian's death, he wrote a memorial article, "Walking to this point, I can't help but weep and tears, and I can't write!" ”
Fu Si Nian's kindness of knowing the encounter, Yan Gengwang sacrificed his life to repay. At the beginning of 1995, the "Academia Sinica" and the "Historical and Linguistic Research Institute Collection" in Taiwan called for papers on the "Centenary Of the Year of Fu Si Nian". The 79-year-old Yan Gengwang thought that his lifelong career knowledge was favored by Mr. Fu's appreciation and promotion, so despite his old age and high blood pressure, he did not use many finished manuscripts and unpublished finished products, and original academic new works around the topic of "Tang Dynasty Population", "desperately trying to drive out papers to commemorate Mr. Fu.". He changed the habit of going to bed early and getting up early when he was young, "writing articles for more than two months in a row, often going to bed at twelve o'clock at night, a few days before finishing the manuscript, and even working until more than two o'clock in the morning." After the submission of the manuscript, he fell seriously ill, his health was seriously damaged, and he died of a sudden cerebral hemorrhage the following year, and the title of the eulogy of the same disciple Yu Yingshi was "Simple Model in the Field of Chinese Historiography - Tribute to Yan Gengwang".
"Whenever there is an affair with the public, there is always an excessive enthusiasm, and this enthusiasm is indeed out of sincerity"
"He who is an adult, who does not lose his heart of a child." (Mencius, Leaving Lou Xia) Fu Sinian was upright and impulsive, strict with himself and his friends, especially non-good and evil, and was very true. For the "hot eyes" thing, we will not avoid "closing our eyes", but take the initiative to "scare our eyes". Or a war of words, or a war of words, or a war of writing, or a fight of fists, or a war of hearts, there is always a result, and it is a victory. Yin Haiguang commented that Fu Sinian was "a person with a heart of right and wrong" and "a reader with the greatest and most rigid spirit".
Luo Jialun and Fu Sinian quarreled for decades, and the tree of friendship is still evergreen. Fu said, "They both have a good temper, and they fight almost every day, and even if they are angry, they don't talk." However, after five or six minutes, everything was still business as usual. Luo described the relationship between the two, "If you don't want to think about it, it's really strange to argue when you meet." ”
Zhao Yuanren's wife, Yang Buwei, recalled that Fu Sinian often said that Zhao Yuanren, who had no quarrel with the world, "If the administration is always lost to people, because everything must be contested if it is to develop." "Fu Si Nian is often angry with others, and he is also angry with others." Mao Zishui scolded me for three days as an insinuations (press: insinuation), and finally made a big argument. ”
Luo Jialun saw through the character of this "most heroic fighter": "Meng Zhen is a human being, not a contrived superman, but a person full of humanity." He also saw through his lack: "Meng Zhen is often aggressive because he is aggressive. As soon as people have improper criticism and incorrect ideas, they immediately fight with people with their mouths and pens. Two days before his death, Luo also ridiculed Fu: "Don't be like crickets, who will flap their wings as soon as they are attracted, and the result will be a counterattack on him." Luo analyzed some of the reasons, "He is too serious, and the concept of right and wrong is too strong." ”
People are self-aware, and Fu Si Nian also reflects, ashamed that he is "always the impetuous look he used to be." On February 6, 1942, after being treated and recuperating from hypertension for more than half a year, he frankly dissected Hu Shi: His personality was "a patriotic person although he has long and short, although he is not exempt from a good name, but he is always better than others"; his own problem is that "whenever he encounters public affairs, he is always excessively enthusiastic, and this enthusiasm is indeed out of sincerity", "emotional impulses, there are very few private affairs, and there are many public people." The cause of my illness is that "I am dissatisfied with political society, and I cannot see a good line, but I think of learning, but I cannot forget this life, so I run outside this door and door." This is his fate, but also his struggle, which has not changed in his life, nor can it be changed.
On April 5, 1948, he wrote to his brother Fu Siyan to analyze the three causes of his high blood pressure: fat, bad temper, and bad habits (unrestrained labor, sleeping less than six hours, etc.). I think that my temper is bad, "the most serious problem, and I don't want to get any of the three things I want to worry about", "I am not a big worker, but I am worried about the country and the people on a daily basis, but I am not worried about myself." On November 6, 1948, he reflected on his friend Li Tianyi, "Although my temper has very little personal thoughts, I am very enthusiastic about business and other people's affairs, or high blood pressure is related to this." ”
Fu Sinian can stretch and bend, and he does not bend his waist for "five buckets of rice", but often bends his waist for scholars and their families. When he was temporarily living in Lizhuang, he spent three days at both ends of the three research institutes of the Academia Sinica (the Institute of History and Language, the Institute of Society, and the Institute of Anthropology) and the Central Museum "looking for rice to get out of the pot" to stabilize people's hearts.
He often wrote frankly to Wang Mengxiong, the administrative inspector and security commander of the Sixth District of Sichuan, to "change his fate": "Please do not forget that we still have a group of friends in Lizhuang Mountain Pass who are studying as a profession, looking forward to eating rice. ”
Fu also ridiculed these scholars as "Mr. Tofu", because he was so poor that he could only eat tofu, and in fact he could not even afford to eat tofu and rarely ate it. Last time he accompanied Wang Mengxiong to dinner in Nanxi County, the stomach that was accustomed to clear soup and water was not blessed, and he had diarrhea for a week after the meal, which became the laughing stock of everyone.
Fu Sinian was enthusiastic about the cultivation of houxue, and sometimes he was dissatisfied, disappointed, and unceremonious. Yang Zhijiu, an expert in yuan history, was very much valued by Fu ji when he was young, and Fu always wanted to cultivate this talent and funded to alleviate his financial constraints. In the summer of 1938, Yang Zhijiu received 30 yuan per month from the Zhongying Gengfu of the Institute of History and Language, which was enough for rent, meals, books and pocket expenses. In the autumn of 1941, on the eve of Yang's graduation from the Institute of Liberal Arts of Peking University, Fu wrote a letter suggesting that he should stay at Peking University or come to the Institute of History and Language. Yang followed the recommendation of his mentor Yao Congwu and went to Nankai University.
Nankai's historical academic platform is not on the order of magnitude as Peking University and the Institute of History and Language. In 1944, Fu seconded Yang to the Shiyu Institute for more than two years, using the strategy of "Liu Bei borrowing Jingzhou" and preparing to stay in the Shiyu Institute. In 1946, Feng Wenqian, the dean of nankai college of literature, urged Yang to return to Tianjin for classes, and Yang Shouxin returned to Nankai. Fu also intended to send Yang abroad for further study, but Yang thanked him on the grounds that he was older and ready to get married. Disappointed, Fu reprimanded him for "not showing up."
Yang Zhijiu has always been grateful, regretful and guilty for Fu Sinian's cultivation. In 1960, when he attended a meeting of non-party figures, he sincerely expressed his feelings with Fu Sinian, "Failing to achieve further learning from Fu Sinian, contrary to Mr. Fu's grand intentions, feeling guilty." ”
Fu Sinian is most praised in the academic community for founding the Institute of History and Linguistics of the Academia Sinica and serving as the "head" for life. When preparing for the Institute of History and Philology of the Academia Sinica, Fu Si was in his early 30s, full of style and vitality, and already had experience in founding the Institute of Linguistic History of Sun Yat-sen University. He demonstrated superb organizational leadership skills, built a modern academic system, recruited outstanding talents, raised funds for activities, guided the compilation of publications, smoothly coordinated the relationship between the upper and lower left and right, and united and cultivated a group of outstanding academic masters. He was more truthful and domineering, but fair and upright, "the greatest to the most rigid" (according to Mencius on "Haoran Qi", the phrase "Mencius Gongsun Ugly Shang"), can be called "the father of the Institute of History and Language of the Academia Sinica".
