Huang Zunxian (April 1848 – March 1905), courtesy name Gongdu ,also known as "Master of the Human Realm", was a famous diplomat, educator and patriotic poet of the late Qing Dynasty; he was praised by Liang Qichao as the crown of the "Three Masters of Poetry in Recent Times". At the age of 27, he was selected as a "bully" by Li Hongzhang. At that time, his family hoped that he would be admitted again, but he was determined to abandon the career of keju and resolutely chose to engage in the profession of diplomatic "foreign affairs". Since then, Huang Zunxian has successively served as a diplomatic envoy in Japan, consul general in San Francisco, counselor in Britain, and consul general in Singapore; he has made historic contributions to promoting Sino-foreign exchanges, learning from advanced civilizations, safeguarding the interests of the motherland, and protecting the rights and interests of overseas Chinese, and has been praised as "the most personable and educated diplomat." He personally came into contact with the western bourgeois civilization and the successful experience of the Meiji Restoration in Japan, and gradually established a firm belief in "reforming the law and reforming the law".
In September 1896, Guangxu summoned Huang Zunxian in Beijing and asked, "How can the government of Taixi win over China?" Huang Zunxian replied: "Change the law -- the subject is in London, he heard his father's old saying, a hundred years ago, it was not as good as China." The conversation was full of national self-confidence. Shi Zaiguang "surprised Tianyan with a slight smile" and decided to reuse Huang Zunxian, and soon sent him to act as an envoy to Hunan to take charge of the prison and the examination of officials. After Huang Zunxian took office, he actively assisted in promoting political, economic, cultural, and educational reforms; he implemented the "New Deal" and achieved remarkable results. It also founded the "School of Current Affairs", invited Liang Qichao to serve as the chief teacher, and cultivated a large number of talents such as Cai Yi.
It can be seen that Huang Zunxian is based on the national conditions and has a far-sighted vision; he practices his ideals and does not talk about it in vain. His pragmatic spirit is also manifested in the 40 volumes of the "Chronicle of japan", which has been written for many years and has been translated several times, with rich contents, including 12 categories such as national politics, diplomacy, astronomy, geography, officialdom, trade, military, criminal law, academics, etiquette, property, and craftsmanship. After its publication, it became popular and greatly deepened the understanding of Japan and the world in late Qing society and East Asian countries, and became one of the must-read books for cultural exchanges and school education at that time. Liang Qichao commented that Huang Zunxian's "Chronicle of Japan" could not be circulated for 10 years, "so that Chinese know little about Japan, do not learn, do not prepare, do not suffer, do not fear, to this day also." Others attribute China's defeat in the Sino-Japanese War to not seeing the Chronicle of Japan early, which also reflects the value of this tome that opened Chinese's eyes to understand the world.
Huang Zunxian traveled abroad and became the first "knowledge-based" literati to come into contact with advanced Western scientific and technological civilization. His poems describe the social life of the overseas world and the new things and new styles that have emerged with modern science and technology. Broadening the subject area of Chinese literature, he wrote new contents of the 19th century that had not appeared in classical literature, such as the fog in London, the tower in Paris, the cherry blossoms in Japan, the reclining Buddha on Ceylon Island, etc. In the four songs of "Parting Now", the newcomers chanted ear-to-ear: ships, trains, telegraphs, photographs, and the new scene of "day and night opposite" in the east and west hemispheres. In this poem, Huang Zunxian claims to have "many whims in five continents", showing that he has been promoted from a Hakka merchant to an official eunuch, and he still has a civilian atmosphere and a pragmatic "Confucian" spirit; it makes him step from a backward and decaying feudal empire into Europe, America and the West, everything is surprised and depressed, everything is like a fish drinking water, and the "cold and warm" of the skin touches his poetic feelings. For example, "On the fifteenth night of August, the Pacific Boat looks at the moon and composes a song", it is written that he traveled from Yokohama, Japan to the United States by boat, "looking up to see the hometown moon, the moon is different at different times", sincerely sighing "Kyushu's foot big ball back", accompanied by the Chinese complex that has always been "the moon is the hometown of Ming", traveling far and wide and wandering the sky: the moon is still the moon, but time and space are no longer traditional time and space. It can be said that "the sea is born of the bright moon, and the end of the world is at this time", but "the bright moon should be wept together", because I am in a foreign country, lamenting the world's affairs and national conditions, and now is not what it used to be. Unconsciously, Huang Zunxian's poetic mood, "Chanting to the Heavens Outside China":
The world of stars is all over the heavens, not counting three thousand and one thousand.
If there is a guest in the chalk, look back at my earth circle.
The "chalk in the box" here is similar to the "interstellar tourism" in today's science fiction works. There are so many stars in the sky that "transcend" the three thousand worlds that Buddhism talks about—which can be "counted"—are already the "heavens" of the universe that only exist in the structure of modern scientific knowledge. Therefore, the "Chakra in the Guest" no longer comes from the Divine Void Buddha Realm, but becomes a new poem of historical materialism that echoes the "circle of the earth".
Huang Zunxian was an outstanding diplomatic activist and a cadre who promoted the reform of the law, but his greatest achievement was the status of the "poetic revolution" in the history of modern Chinese literature - his theoretical advocacy began with Liang Qichao and Tan Si, but it was huang Zunxian's creation of "my handwriting and my mouth" that opened up a new way of practice and became a milestone in the era when China's classical poetry turned to innovation. Kang Youwei commented on Huang Zunxian's poem "Like Lei Chun Qian Zhang Pine, Lush Green, Shady Rock Ridge, Chitose Immortal". Sun Yat-sen said: "Huang Zunxian is a scholar who does great things, not a scholar who is a big official. Outside the door of the parlor of the famous Huang Zunxian study "Renjinglu", Huang Zunxian's self-inscription is still hung: "There are three points of water, four points of bamboo, and seven minutes of the moon; from the five-step building, the ten-step pavilion, and the hundred steps of the Yangtze River." This vividly depicts the "water and sky" landscape of "singing to the outside of China" and looking at the moon and the hometown, and the national ideal of "the back wave pushing the front wave".
In 2013, it was approved by the State Council: Huang Zunxian Shuzhai "Renjinglu" and his former residence were simultaneously listed as "National Key Cultural Relics Protection Unit".
