"Zhang Madman" - Zhang Taiyan (1869 ~ 1936)

Zhang Taiyan (1869 ~ 1936) had a tortuous life and a mixed reputation after his death. Zhang Taiyan's real name was Binglin (炳麟), zi mei shu (字枚叔), later changed his name to Dai (绛), alias Taiyan (太炎), and was born in Dongxiang, Yuhang County, Zhejiang Province, in the seventh year of Qing Tongzhi. He claimed to have a "desire to be full" as a teenager. At the age of 23, he went to Hangzhou to study at Yu Ru, and for 7 years, he studied the history of the scriptures and made great progress in his studies.

Zhang Taiyan cut his braids in 1900, determined to revolution, and taught at the Patriotic Society organized by Cai Yuanpei in Shanghai in middle age. At that time, Zhang often wore a robe and covered with a "kimono", and the left sleeve of the "kimono" was also embroidered with the word "Dahan", and his hair was cut five inches long, and the left and right strands were combed separately, and the bottom hung down to the forehead. The costumes are bizarre, and when it comes to talking, there are also some crazy heads and crazy brains, so it has long been called "Chapter Crazy".

In 1903, Zhang Taiyan published "Refuting Kang Youwei's Book on Revolution" and writing a preface to Zou Rong's book "Revolutionary Army", which angered the Qing court and was arrested and imprisoned.

On June 29, 1906, Zhang Taiyan was released from prison after serving a 3-year sentence in a foreign prison in the Shanghai Concession, and Sun Yat-sen sent Sun Yujun to Shanghai in advance to welcome Zhang Taiyan to Japan. When Zhang walked out of prison, his face was white and fat, which he had never seen in his life, and his friends were very surprised. It is said that Zhang Taiyan does not take off the demeanor of a celebrity, is informal, rarely bathes, and is often unkempt. But after he was imprisoned, he was run by Western prison guards who forced him to take a bath every day. In this way, personal hygiene is done well, and the body is getting stronger and stronger.

On July 15, Chinese students studying in Japan held a general meeting at the Jinhui Hall in Tokyo's Kinkei Ward to welcome the revolutionary master. At that time, I was far and near, competing to see the wind. More than 7,000 people attended the meeting, and the museum could not be crowded, so they climbed the eaves to get a glimpse of the sound. At that time, cheers and applause shook Kanda Ward. At the meeting, Zhang Taiyan made a brilliant statement, which made the listener refreshed. He said:

Probably as a human being, he was said to be crazy and would not admit it to himself, unless the poets and painters who "laughed at the landscape" made other remarks, and the rest was always the same. The only brother admits that I am crazy and that I am neurotic. And when I heard people say I was crazy and that I had a nervous disease, I was very happy. Why? All the strange arguments are not that of a neurological patient, that they must not think, or that they can think or dare not say; after saying that, when they encounter difficulties and hardships, it is not that the neurological patients must not turn back and act on their own will. Therefore, in ancient times, there were universities that asked for a big cause, and they had to have neuropathy to do it.

And look at the Greek philosopher Socrates, but isn't there a neurosis? Rousseau, who advocated "civil rights freedom", jumped over the river in order to chase a dog, which was also neurotic. The first Muslim, Mohammed, according to today's religious commentators, was dirty and dry. Like me Han Chinese, the Ming Dynasty Xiong Tingbi's military strategy is unique in ancient times. However, watching his "Biography of Qi Sex", Xiong Tingbi is simply a madman. In modern times, Zuo Zongtang's personality, protecting Manchu slaves and killing his own kind, was originally insignificant, but his surprising strategy to win was admirable after all. This zuo Zongtang's young age in Yuelu Academy was strange and everyone knew about it. There was also a German Bisch mack, who was in the hotel, and the summoning officer did not answer, so he opened fire. What kind of temperament is this? If you look closely, aren't all the talents and deeds of these six people transformed from neuropathy? For this reason, the brother admitted that he had a neurosis. I also hope that all of you comrades will have a point or two of neuropathy. Recently, some people have said that so-and-so has a neurosis, and so-and-so also has a neuropathy. From the brother's point of view, he was not afraid of neuropathy, but only afraid that when "Rich And Noble Lilu" faced it, the neuropathy immediately improved. That's the last thing to do! A slightly higher person, the tonic of "Rich And Noble Lilu", although it cannot cure his neurosis; the poison of "hardship and hardship" can still be cured, which is always unstable and cannot be achieved. Brothers tasted this poison and were the most. Counting from the year of Peng shu, there have been seven chanas. I couldn't get it six times. It wasn't until the seventh time that I got it. The previous three times, either because of other things, or the New Party of Puna, were not for me alone. The next four times, but all of them were for the sake of independence. But in this whirlpool of hardship and hardship, the brother did not have the slightest remorse. By virtue of your poison, this neuropathy will not be cured. Or the kings push the weight, and it may not be from this.

If someone says, "If everyone has a nervous disorder, things must be done in a disorderly manner, how can we do things in an orderly manner?" "But the neuropathy that the brothers are talking about is not rough and reckless, jumping around. Load that fine needle of thought into neurosis. For example, thoughts are cargo, and neuropathy is a steamboat. Without thought, empty neurosis, there must be no reality. Without neuropathy, could this thought be automatic? The above is a brief history of the brother's life.

As for the methods of doing things in recent days, all political, legal, military, and so on, this is something that the princes have already studied and does not need to be talked about again. According to the brothers to see the first in the feelings. Without feelings, you have tens of billions of Napoleons and Washingtons, always have their own hearts and minds, and cannot be united. When Plato said, "Man's feelings are originally a kind of drunken disease." This is still attributed to the nerves.

Just by virtue of this "crazy" argument, it can also be regarded as a wonderful theory that shocks the ancient and the present. In this sense, it inspired a generation that fought for the Xinhai Revolution.
