Speaking of the Republic of China in the 20th century, there was such a restless physicist, he improved the Chinese instrument flute, tossed Chinese characters, not only that, he wrote drama is also very powerful, known as "all-round multi-bar youth". If such a male god-level figure appears in the contemporary era, it is definitely a net celebrity.
He is Ding Xilin, throughout Ding Xilin's life, I think it is like opening a hanging, many people may know him, he was born in the nineties of the last century in Taixing a famous family, the main business is a physicist, once was a professor of physics at Peking University, the side business is "one-act drama holy hand", known as "Oriental Molière".
< h1 class= "ql-align-center" > background, he is a close friend of Indian President Jawaharlal Nehru</h1>
Ding Xilin has been a school bully since he was a child, because his family has been well-off since childhood, his father is also very enlightened, and under the influence of "new learning", he let his children also learn foreign culture, which cannot be learned, and China has since added a physicist and dramatist.
He studied at the University of Birmingham in the United Kingdom, during which time he directly verified Maxwell's velocity distribution law with thermal electron emission tests, greatly reducing the experimental error of measuring g-values. In the second year of his studies, mr. Cai Yuanpei, the president of Peking University, was thirsty for talents in Europe, and talents like him were naturally introduced back to China and lived in the auspicious hutongs of Beijing, with eight professors living together, known as the "Auspicious Eight Gentlemen".
During his tenure as a professor of physics at Peking University, he was very rigorous and serious, the students liked him very much, he not only personally reviewed the students' experimental reports, but also advocated the use of Chinese instead of English to write lecture notes, so that the Chinese people could better absorb Western science, not only that, people also followed the example of Mr. Cai Yuanpei, actively introduced physics talents, and created a physics laboratory at Peking University, to know that under the conditions at that time, it was very difficult, all the equipment, equipment and books needed to be purchased from abroad, and the funds were relatively small. However, on the eve of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, Ding Laojian expanded the number of personnel in the Institute of Physics from 3 to more than 10.
Moreover, he deliberately expanded the gold and woodworking workshop of the Institute of Physics into a well-equipped physical instrument factory, and was engaged in the manufacture of analytical balances, microscopes, and theodolites needed for teaching. From 1935 to 1937 alone, 600 sets of high school physics experimental instruments and 3,000 sets of junior high school physics experimental instruments were produced. These instruments are purchased and distributed by the Ministry of Education to high schools and junior high schools throughout the country for teaching use, and it has to be said that they have played a great role in enriching and improving the teaching of physics in middle schools earlier in China.
But you would be wrong to think only that he was a physicist, that he was also a great diplomat.
It should be known that Ding Xilin and India's first prime minister, Jawaharlal Nehru, both studied in Britain at the same time, and it is rumored that the two were friends of the same window, and after Premier Zhou Enlai knew about it, it was at the time of the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and India, and the prime minister arranged for him to be the president of the Sino-Indian Friendship Association, and he and Ding Wenjiang made certain contributions to the negotiations on the Sino-Indian border.
< h1 class="ql-align-center" > talk about his sister, who has brought up the descendants of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom as wives</h1>
During Ding Xilin's college years, suddenly his mother was seriously ill, he rushed home to know that the original mother in the family was not sick, the father was to deceive him to go home and get married, the girl introduced to him is also a famous family, the name Han Liying, if the marriage is also considered to be the door to the household, but Ding Xilin is also a returnee, well-informed, and Han Liying, although it is a typical lady, but there is not much culture, and the appearance is not high enough, when they spend the night in the cave, it is said that Ding Xilin read a night of books, He put the girl on the edge of the bed and made the girl cry.
Ding Xilin was also very angry, and ran away from home in a huff, during which he also met the love of his life, Li Yi, through the introduction of friends. Li Yi is not only beautiful in appearance, the key is to have culture, which is not the most important, the most important thing is that Li Yi is rumored to be a descendant of Wei Changhui, the leader of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, after the failure of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, in order to avoid arrest, Wei Shi changed his surname to Li, simply 6.
It is said that Ding Xilin's wife Han Liying suffered this misfortune and cried day and night, and her grandfather was an old-fashioned man, and he taught her a lesson in a strong voice: What to cry! You have visited the church, you were born as a Ding family, died as a ghost of the Ding family, the Ding family has a field and a house and a rich village, and you still can't feed you?
Although Ding Xilin did not marry Han Liying, he did not leave Han Liying alone. In order to have an explanation for Han Liying, he gave all the real estate in his hometown to Han Liying, and the sale and lease were all decided by Han Liying, and when they broke up, Ding Xilin also gave Han Liying a golden seal engraved with the three characters of Ding Xielin (Ding Xilin's original name), and if there was any objection to the property in the family in the future, or in the event of other major events, he would speak with the golden seal.
It's really too man.
Later, when the physicist entered the literary world, he wrote "A Horse Bee", criticizing the feudal arranged marriage, and once this play was published, it produced a sensation in the national theater scene, and the "holy hand of one-act drama" got its name.
< h1 class="ql-align-center" > said talent, his comedic talent is not lost to Hu Shi</h1>
It can be said that throughout the 1920s, Ding Xilin's comedy creation opened the way for the development of modern humorous comedy, and together with Guo Moruo and Tian Han, he can be called one of the founders of modern Chinese dramatic literature.
It is said that Chinese drama has undergone two constructions in the stage of civilized drama before and after the Xinhai Revolution and the stage of Western drama during the May Fourth Movement. Traditional Chinese drama is opera, and drama is an imported product. Civilized dramas are not donkeys, not horses, not Chinese or Western, and they are not real dramas yet, but most of them use dramas as a carrier to enlighten the people and encourage revolutionary speeches.
In particular, Hu Shi's "Lifelong Events", although it is considered to be the beginning of China's modern humorous comedy, but at that time, Chinese comedy was still a faltering baby, and at that time, modern Chinese dramas were all tragedies as the theme, and they were all multi-act plays, but Ding Xilin was different, he was obsessed with the creation of one-act plays, and he showed a high level of writing.
He has published many comedies that can be called classics, such as "A Horse Bee", "Oppression", "Dear Husband", "Drunk", "Beijing Air", "Blind Eye" and other six one-act comedies, and even now some domestic theaters are still in theaters. The famous dramatist Hong Shen commented on "Oppression" as "the only masterpiece of comedy created during the Revolution." ”
When his "A Horse Bee" was staged, some people even compared the protagonist Mr. Ji with Lu Xun's Ah Q, believing that art is "the same high-quality". "Beijing's Air" neither renders the richness of Beijing nor involves the darkness of Beijing, just like people lament, "Aged flower carvings, its mellowness does not even have the taste of wine." ”
<h1 class="ql-align-center" > tossing and turning, he can toss a new realm</h1>
Being able to play with the slash to the extreme, I only serve Ding Lao, and it is difficult to find people with boundless interests like Ding Lao.
He was the first physicist to propose the "pen shape checking method", you will definitely ask what is the "pen shape checking method", "pen shape checking" is to give each basic stroke of the Chinese character (horizontal, vertical, apostrophe, dot, fold) a number, and then according to the stroke number, it becomes a number. This method is absorbed by the "Computer Chinese Information Pen Coding Method", which can achieve "see the word number and find the word according to the number". And there is a "Mu Ding Xi" in the Five Strokes Font Recipe to commemorate his contribution.
Another time, the mathematician Professor Chen Shengshen mentioned a famous map four-color problem in the field of mathematics. Any complex map that requires only four colors to distinguish between them can make sure that the adjacent boundary does not appear heavy color. This topic also aroused great interest in Ding Xilin, a question that Ding Xilin studied for many years and finally proved successful.
But the most surprising thing is that the learned Ding Xilin also developed a strong interest in the small national instrument ——— flute. In 1935, Ding Xilin reformed the flute of traditional Chinese musical instruments, changing the original six-hole seven-tone scale to eleven-hole average twelve-tone, expanding the range of musical instruments, and introduced it in the "New Flute" in the "Science Pictorial".
He not only played his side business more than his main business, but also had both patriotic feelings and national integrity.
At the outbreak of the Pacific War, in order to resist the war, he returned to the mainland with his family, but he was accidentally discovered by Wang Pseudo, who threatened and lured him to serve in Nanjing, Ding Lao Na could agree, of course, he was put under house arrest, but the independent soul could easily yield, so Ding Lao's witty disguise rescued himself, which can be called witty.
Throughout Ding Lao's entire life, sometimes I have to sigh, he is really able to write and be good at martial arts, both literature and science, and the famous scholars in the past seem to be like this, involving a lot of professions, and the depth of knowledge makes modern people unattainable.
