Throughout the ages, all those who bear great talents often have conceited temperaments and behave obediently, whether they are the seven sages of the bamboo forest who are "not Tang Wu but thin Zhou Kong", or You Heng who "scolds Cao Cao naked" (Cao Cao), whether it is Li Bai who makes "Yang Guifei grind ink and Gao Lishi take off his boots", or "Mi Yi" Mi Fu, who is "good and clean, and loves stones into delusion", they are naïve and straightforward, they are arrogant and unruly, they are unscrupulous and contemptuous of the powerful, they speak freely and without any cover.
Some people call them talents, and others call them "crazy people".
In China's modern history, there are three scholars, who belong to the top masters academically, and are also top outliers in words and deeds, and are ridiculed as "the three madmen of the academic world".
"The First Madness" Chapter Taiyan
The "first madness" is the famous master of traditional Chinese studies, Zhang Taiyan, who is not only crazy, but also crazy, he scolded Empress Dowager Cixi for "Shou Zhu Jiang Wu", scolded the Guangxu Emperor for "carrying a clown", Yuan Shikai came to power, he scolded Yuan Shikai, making a big fuss in the presidential palace, there is no second person in the world who dares to "go crazy" like this;
The "second madness" is that Liu Shipei (Zhang Taiyan Zimei Uncle, Liu Shipei Zi Shen Uncle), who was on a par with Zhang Taiyan and Zhang Taiyan, was known as the "Fang Filial Piety Reading Seed", but in his life, his clothes were not neat, the edges were not repaired, and he was very sloppy, not only himself, but also put forward a "three-not life proposition": clothes should not be neat, do not wash your face, do not cut hair, no one is as "crazy" as he is;
The "third madness" is the scholar I want to introduce today - Huang Kan Huang Jigang, at that time, there were two professors in Peking University called "monsters", one was Gu Hongming, the second was Huang Kan, Gu Hongming made the scholars lose their jaws with the "teapot teacup theory", and Huang Kan married nine times in his life, and even encouraged his son to visit the Qinglou, which made the people of the world look like wooden chickens.
Below, let's talk about the scholar "monster" Huang Kan, who is enough to refresh people's "three views offline".
<h1 class="pgc-h-decimal" data-index="01" > famous teachers and apprentices</h1>
Huang Kan (1886-1935), also spelled Ji gang, was a native of Puchun County, hubei known as "Professor County". His father, Huang Yunhu, served as a Salt Tea Ceremony in Sichuan in the late Qing Dynasty, but died at the age of 13. Huang Kan was 2 years old, 5 years old to memorize the "History", 7 years old to write poetry, 9 years old to write a thousand words, 15 years old in the middle of the talent, can be called a prodigy. In 1903, Huang Kan was admitted to the Wuchang Wenhua Ordinary Middle School, became friends with Dong Biwu and Song Jiaoren, and later studied in Japan with the help of Zhang Zhidong, the governor of Huguang.
"Three madmen" Huang Kan
Speaking of Huang Kan, who has become a talent, I have to say that the teacher who helped him become a talent, Zhang Taiyan.
In 1906, Huang Kan studied in Japan, studied at Waseda University in Tokyo, coincidentally, Huang Kan rented an apartment, at that time there was already "Mr. Taiyan" known as the master of traditional Chinese studies Zhang Taiyan also rented it, Huang Kan upstairs, Zhang Taiyan downstairs, but the two of them are of different ages, no contact, do not know or know. One night, the young man Huang Kan suddenly urinated urgently, did not bother to go downstairs to the public toilet, climbed up the window and sprinkled. I don't want Zhang Taiyan to work hard under the window, when he overhears the sound of water, a white dragon fish runs down, and the pungent smell of urine comes to the face. Zhang Taiyan was furious and rushed to the terrace to scold. Huang Kan was in his early 20s, young and vigorous, not only did not admit his mistake, but angrily went back: I peed on myself, closed your bird affairs, and the two "crazy people" started the national curse war one by one.
Don't fight, don't know each other, don't scold, don't fellowship, the next day the corridor met by chance, exchanged names and surnames, Huang Kancai found out that the object of anger was actually the famous master of traditional Chinese studies at home and abroad, Zhang Taiyan, immediately bowed his head and apologized, and prostrated his head to worship the teacher. The two "madmen" became masters and apprentices in this way of not scolding and not intersecting.
Zhang Taiyan Memorial Hall
Zhang Taiyan's eyes were clear, and since he had accepted this student, he naturally had an insight into Huang Kan's Jin Liang. Huang Kan's old learning skills are deep, coupled with Zhang Taiyan's mastery, at the same time, the travelers with Zhang Taiyan are all a momentary junjie, which can be described as a gathering of masters, and the influence on Huang Kan is also three-dimensional and diverse, so Huang Kan has a trend of traveling thousands of miles in academics, and soon became a generation of famous scholars.
After returning to China, Huang Kan successively served as a professor at Peking University, Beijing Women's Normal University, Wuchang Higher Normal University, Central University and Jinling University, teaching and researching, becoming more and more refined, and achieving academic success, especially in the primary school field he specialized in, which almost represented the highest level at that time, and had the reputation of "walking alone in the world" for the study of "Erya" and "Wenxin Carved Dragon", which became the only authority at that time.
Zhang Taiyan later confirmed in his self-report:
"Disciple achievers, Pu Chun Huang Kan Ji Gang, Gui An Qian Summer, Haiyan Zhu Xi Zu Ti Xian."
Huang Kan's name ranked first, so he was known as "the number one disciple of Zhangmen".
<h1 class="pgc-h-decimal" data-index="02" > controversial private life</h1>
Huang Kan is lustful and well known to the world, so it is controversial.
The love of beauty has always been there, but Huang Kan's affair involves teachers and students, which is one of the reasons for the attack.
In his lifetime, Huang Kan was married nine times, and the newspapers of that year once commented:
"Huang Kan's article goes all over the world, lustful, not my mother, not my daughter, but my wife!"
This is simply an attack on his extermination of humanity.
Huang Kanfa's wife Wang Shi, the two gathered less and more, feelings estranged, because Huang Kan was once a fellow township Huang Shaolan's school teacher, and later Huang Shaolan graduated from the Beijing female teacher Yun Shanghai work, Huang Kan pursued Huang Shaolan without divorcing the original partner, and the two married under a false name. But soon, Huang Kan, who was then a professor at the Beijing Women's Normal University, got involved with a female student surnamed Peng from Suzhou and secretly combined, and Huang Shaolan learned that the world fell apart and finally committed suicide.
Huang Shaolan, who was "cheated into marriage"
There are even more people who are down three times. When Huang Kan was teaching at Wuchang High School, his eldest daughter was studying at the Wuchang Female Teacher, and his classmate Huang Juying often came to visit the house, and later Huang Kan also attacked him. Huang Kan once wrote a poem "Picking Mulberries" to send to Huang Juying, the words are:
"We may not see each other again in this life, but who believes in his life?" A kind of love lingers.
At that time, nostalgia for What Ji? Knowing that there is drifting zero, after all, drifting zero, is drifting zero also feels qing. ”
How deep his feelings were, huang Juying was greatly moved, so he broke away from the family and married the father of his classmate who was 17 years older.
Girls of the Republic of China
The combination of the two yellows became a scandal in the academic circles of Wuhan for a while. Huang Kan did not think it was ugly, and even asked the students to collect newspapers and periodicals that scolded him for his honeymoon with Huang Juying.
<h1 class="pgc-h-decimal" data-index="03" > laughed at Hu Shi and almost fucked</h1> him
Zhang Taiyan is a zhang madman, Huang Kan is a yellow madman, and both masters and apprentices are famous for their good scolding and daring to scold, but the difference is that Zhang Taiyan scolds the powerful and Huang Kan specializes in his peers.
Huang Kan has a characteristic of intimidating people, who is the most famous, who is intimidated.
In 1919, Hu Shi returned from overseas and was solemnly invited by Mr. Cai Yuanpei, the president of Peking University, to teach, and became the brightest new star in the academic world because he was young and promising, launched a new cultural movement, advocated vernacular literature, and became the brightest new star in the academic world.
Hu Shizhi was full of spirit
Huang Kan is a strong defender of the country, scornful of the vernacular language, and must scold the vernacular text for half an hour after each class, before starting to lecture, especially the most powerful.
He opposed the vernacular and advocated the literary language, and once borrowed Hu Shi as an example:
"If Hu Shi's wife dies, and his family sends a telegram in vernacular, Bi Yun: 'Your wife is dead!' Hurry back! It's eleven words long. In the language, only the words 'wife and wife are quickly returned' are enough, and only two-thirds of the telegraph cost can be saved. ”
Another time, Huang Kan solemnly said to Hu Shi:
"You advocate vernacular language, not sincerity!"
Hu Shi was surprised and asked why.
Huang Kan replied solemnly:
"If you are sincerely advocating vernacular literature, you should not be called 'Hu Shi', but 'Where to Go.'"
As soon as the words fell silent, Hu Shi fainted.
Another time, the two went to the banquet together, during the banquet, Hu Shi talked about Mozi's "simultaneous love" point of view, just talking about the eyebrows flying and dancing head is the Tao, Huang Kan on the side has long been unable to listen, Hu Shi paused slightly, Huang Kan interface scolded:
"Now the people who talk about ink science are all bastards!"
Hu Shi heard this and suddenly turned pale.
Su Zhen, Huang Kan scolded again:
"It is the right honorable man, and also the bastard king!"
After scolding himself, Huang Kan actually scolded Hu Shi and his father, and Hu Shi couldn't help but be angry, and he was about to make a rough fight.
Huang Kan saw that Hu Shizhen was angry, and immediately smiled and said:
"And stop being angry, I'm trying you. Mozi and love, is fatherless also. You have a Father, how can you talk about ink science? I'm not scolding you, but talk about trying it! ”
When the people present heard this, they all laughed loudly, joked before drinking, and Hu Shi was not good enough to pursue it anymore, so he had to knock out his teeth and swallow blood, and endured.
Hu Shi had written the Outline of the History of Chinese Philosophy, but had only completed the first half of the book, and Huang Kan used this to ridicule Hu Shi in front of the students in the classroom:
"In the past, Xie Lingyun was a secretary supervisor, and today Hu Shi can be described as a supervisor of works."
Puzzled, Huang Kan explained:
"Jailer, eunuch also. Eunuchs, the lower part is gone also. ”
After the students listened, they laughed loudly, and it turned out that Huang Kan was using eunuchs to satirize Hu Shi's writings, which were rumored to be jokes for a while.
<h1 class="pgc-h-decimal" data-index="04" > a lifetime of intimidation, and there will be countless defeats under the mouth</h1>
In the academic circles at that time, Huang Kan saw who was afraid of whom, who was red, Shen Yinmo, Qian Xuantong, Chen Hanzhang and other masters of traditional Chinese studies, all of whom were defeated by his mouth.
Huang Kan and Lu Xun were both Zhang Taiyan's "Zhangmen disciples", and Huang Kan was still Lu Xun's master brother, but the two belonged to different camps in the battle between Wen Yanwen and Vernacular Wen, Lu Xun was in wen yanwen, and Huang Kan was dead in vernacular.
Young Lu Xun
Like Huang Kan, Lu Xun cursed countless people in his life, but the two did not directly confront each other academically.
For this "Huang San crazy" who was as crazy as his teacher Zhang Taiyan, Lu Xun's evaluation was praised and degraded, praised and degraded, and degraded and praised.
Lu Xun also unceremoniously criticized his master brother for doing some things that were shocking, especially on the issue of women, saying that he was morally deficient, which was really not flattering.
However, most of the time, Lu Xun still admired his master brother very much, and he had repeatedly lamented that Huang Kan was one of the top figures in the field of traditional Chinese studies, not only admiring him, but also often lamenting that he was inferior.
Huang Kan once had a famous saying: No books were written before fifty years.
It is true that he had not published a single work before the age of fifty, and his mentor Zhang Taiyan had advised him many times to write books and speak, but he often regarded it as the wind in his ears, this ear in, that ear out.
On October 8, 1935, Huang Kan died of excessive drinking at the age of 49.
Although Huang Kan never wrote a book in his lifetime, he was more famous and accomplished in the academic circles than many so-called people who wrote books, and he was the only person in Chinese history who had no works and was recognized as a "master of traditional Chinese studies" at home and abroad!
