His father, Chen Sanli, was the last traditional poet in China
Chen Baozhen died, and at this time, Chen Sanli had begun to emerge. Chen Sanli is an important representative of the Tongguang poetry school in modern times. Together with Tan Sitong, Xu Renzhu and Tao Jucun, he was known as the "Fourth Prince of the Restoration" and was known as the last traditional poet in China. Chen Sanli was Chen Baozhen's most effective assistant when he was the governor of Hunan. The name of "Three Stands" exemplifies the ancient precept of "taishang li de li, followed by li yan, followed by meritorious service", and he is a veritable practitioner.
Because Chen Sanli was influenced by his family's learning, he was young and erudite, and he was able to understand and be sensitive, and he was not bound by secular etiquette. Guangxu entered the township examination in the eighth year, because he hated Shiwen, he answered the paper in prose style, and unexpectedly got the appreciation of chen Baochen, the main examiner, and even made an exception to record it as an example. In the twelfth year of Guangxu, he was the head of the ministry of officials, traveled with some people with the idea of restoration in Beijing, was enthusiastic, aspired to innovation, and participated in the strong societies organized by the Wenting style. After the Sino-Japanese War, Li Hongzhang went to Japan to sign the "Treaty of Maguan," and Sanli was indignant when he heard the news, and immediately called Zhang Zhidong: "I call on Hefei to thank the world."
During his father's implementation of the New Deal in Hunan, he served under his father's account, and he was very effective in attracting talents and innovating education. During the coup d'état, Sanritsu was dismissed from his post along with his father for the crime of "attracting adultery and evil". After the loss of his father, the pain of his family and country, he had no intention of pursuing a career, and built a house on the bank of Jinling Qingxi, called "Scattered Plains Jingshe", often with his friends in poetry and ancient Chinese, saying that he "relied on the wind and clouds of the column to be a shenzhou stand-in man." ”
Although he did not care about politics, he was still extremely enthusiastic about the prosperity of society. Guangxu ran a family school in the 29th year, and sponsored Liu Yizheng to establish Siyi Primary School. He gave up his house as a classroom, hired foreign teachers, opened new courses in English and mathematics, science and chemistry; paid attention to the all-round development of morality, intellect, physique and beauty; also abolished the "Eight Strands of Literature" and the kneeling etiquette, prohibited the dead recitation of texts and corporal punishment of students, and set a precedent for innovative schools. Later, it is also his new way of education that made his son Chen Yinke receive a new-style education at the enlightenment stage, not only benefiting greatly from traditional Chinese studies, but also coming into contact with Western studies and learning foreign languages, laying the foundation for future further study in Japan and the West.
The life of poetry and books at ease did not destroy his conscience and iron bones.
In 1906, the Hunan industrial and commercial circles commemorated Chen Baozhen's father and son for implementing the New Deal and revitalizing industry, and asked for a bronze statue of Baozhen and conferred an official position for Sanli, which was rejected by the imperial court. Then, in the great famine of Yining Prefecture, the starving people of Tonggu Shuangkeng went to Yifeng Tianbao to buy grain, and the rich businessman He Damao falsely claimed that "bandits robbed" and said that "Ningzhou is full of bandits", provoked a fight, killed 57 starving people in Shuangkeng, and the Shuangkeng people complained that there was no result, and asked Chen Sanli for help. He presided over justice, and Chen Shangshu was finally scrutinized by the Ministry of Punishment, severely punishing the main offender and the local zhixian county, and the unjust case was exposed and revealed. When yuan shikai, the great thief of the country, carried out the constitutional monarchy and appointed Chen Sanli as a senator, he sternly refused, and vowed not to join yuan shikai.
At that time, although the way of disseminating cultural information was backward, Chen Sanli's poetry had already spread overseas. In April 1924, the famous Indian poet Tagore came to China to admire Chen Sanli's poetic talents, accompanied by Xu Zhimo to the West Lake for a special visit. Tagore, as a representative of the Indian poetry scene, gave Chen Sanli a collection of his own poems, and hoped that Chen Sanli would also give him a collection of poems in return as a Chinese poet. After accepting the book gift, Chen Sanli expressed his gratitude and humbly said: "You are a world-famous poet, who is enough to represent the poetry scene of your country, and I dare not think of myself as a representative of Chinese poets." The latter two took a group photo side by side, which was passed down as a good story in the history of Sino-Indian cultural exchanges.
Yuan Shikai wanted to appoint him as an official, but he hit a wall in front of him, and later Chiang Kai-shek also hit a wall in front of him. In November 1929, accompanied by his second son Chen Longke and his wife, he took a boat up the river, ascended Lushan Mountain, and lived in the "Songmen Villa" of the new residence in Muling, and poured out poems: "The dream of the township awakens and sings the whip, and the body is like a bird", planning to "breathe in the pine forest path, wash the dream stream and waterfall". When he was nearly eighty years old, he toured the scenic spots in the north and south of the mountain and wrote many poems for sending love poems, called "Kuang Lu Shan Ju Poems", which were stone printed into a book to give to relatives and friends. During his stay in the mountains, Chiang Kai-shek once went to Muling to escape the summer, knew that Chen Sanli was also in the mountains, and was eager to see him, so he sent a special person to contact him. He did not want to associate with those in power, and said to the people who came: "I am already an outsider who does not know the world, even if we meet, there is nothing to talk about, I still don't have to come to see." Chiang Kai-shek knew that he was not interested, and there was no way, so he had to give up.
In 1932, the "128 Incident" was carried out by the Japanese army and occupied Zhabei, Shanghai. At this time, Chen Sanli avoided living in Muling, restless day and night, and subscribed to the aviation Shanghai newspaper at the post office and read it every day. It is said that at that time, he once shouted words such as "kill the Japanese" in a dream one night, which showed his anxiety about the country. Later, his former friend Zheng Xiaoxu defected to Japan and assisted Puyi in establishing a puppet Manchu regime, and Chen Sanli scolded Zheng for "betraying China and seeking self-utilitarianism." When reprinting the "Poetry of The Scattered Plains", Zheng Xu was angrily deleted and broke off relations with him. In 1934, Chen Sanli left Lushan to live in Beiping, witnessed the destruction of the Eight Great Places in Xishan by the Eight-Nation Alliance, and lamented the "national shame"!
At the time of the Lugou Bridge incident, he said: "I will never flee! When some people talked about China's inevitable defeat, he angrily rebuked: "Oh! Chinese dog? Bow your head and let others slaughter! "In that year, Peiping and Tianjin fell one after another, and the Japanese army wanted to attract Chen Sanli and did everything to lobby, but it was not allowed. Detective Ri waited for him, Chen Sanli was angry, and called on the maid to take a broom to expel him. Since then, he has not eaten for five days, and he has died of grief.
