In addition to Qian Zhongshu and Chen Yinke, who are familiar with such well-known figures, there is also a literary talent, who is unknown in later generations, but is talented, and at a young age he created the historical masterpiece "Outline of Chinese History", a great man named Zhang Yinlin.
When Zhang Yinlin went to school at Tsinghua University, he was on a par with Qian Zhongshu's fame. The mentor Liang Qichao also praised him, and Zhang Yinlin published an article titled "Doubting confucius's sayings about Confucius more than a hundred years after Lao Tzu", which completely conquered Liang Qichao.
Such a talented person, of course, is easy to be appreciated. During his studies at Tsinghua University, Zhang Yinlin was very obsessed with academics and immersed himself in the library almost every day.
For him, there is no end to the road of learning, Zhang Yinlin has published more than 40 papers and academic essays in the Journal of Tsinghua, and many tutors at Tsinghua have not broken through his achievements.
Zhang Yinlin, who is in his 20s, has reached a certain height in the study of literature. Regrettably, Zhang Yinlin suffered from heart disease in his early years, when he was in Zunyi and had poor medical conditions.
When he was seriously ill, there was no medication to relieve his condition. Although a friend went to Chongqing to ask for a famous doctor, Zhang Yinlin was too ill to wait for the rescue of his friends, and he died of illness, at this time Zhang Yinlin was only 37 years old.
At that time, Zhang Yinlin was preparing to write a follow-up chapter of the Outline of Chinese History, and with his death, this historical masterpiece also came to an end.
Hearing the news of Zhang Yinlin's death, Qian Zhongshu, as a friend of the same window, was deeply saddened, and he said: "The voice is lost and the child dies, and the sky is turned upside down", which shows Qian Zhongshu's regret, deep pain and deep.
To this day, many scholars have mentioned works describing Chinese history, and Zhang Yinlin's "Outline of Chinese History" is still highly respected. This history book, which ended in the Han Dynasty, was used as a middle school history textbook and is still known as a divine work.
<h1 class = "pgc-h-arrow-right" > from a family of scholars, born to read</h1>
Liang Qichao once called Zhang Yinlin a "genius", but he did not know that the birth of genius did not come by accident. When Zhang Yinlin was young, he accepted his father's strict discipline and extensively read the works of the Hundred Sons and the classics of historiography, laying a deep foundation for Traditional Chinese studies.
Zhang Yinlin's family was well-off in his early years, and his father loved to collect books. Under the influence of his father, Zhang Yinlin developed the habit of buying and collecting books. After the death of his father, family life became very difficult.
However, living conditions can be accommodated, and the only thing that buys books cannot be changed. According to Zhang Yinlin's friend Wu Han, when he was in Tsinghua, as long as he had spare money, he would use it to buy books, and the tables, chairs, and floors of his room were all full of books.
Usually, when I see friends with good books, Zhang Yinlin will also exchange them with them, and her love for books is overflowing with words. Zhang Yinlin's ability to write history books is inseparable from his usual accumulation.
For such an obsessive writer, as a peer, the elder Chen Yinke also admired him very much, once describing Zhang Yinlin as "the theory of the flow of generations before, writing books is not more than three thousand."
To be so praised by the division commander, Zhang Yinlin's status in the literary world is also obvious. However, Zhang Yinlin was not satisfied with his academic achievements.
In 1929, he went to Stanford University in the United States to study, during which time Zhang Yinlin gained a new understanding of Chinese history. He believes that in order to transform Chinese historiography, it is necessary to draw nutritional knowledge from philosophy and sociology, so as to push Chinese historiography to a new height.
After Returning to China, Zhang Yinlin accepted an offer from Tsinghua university and became a teacher in the Department of Philosophy and History. At that time, although Zhang Yinlin only published some academic articles, domestic historians praised him endlessly, and Qian Mu, the "master of traditional Chinese studies", even believed that Zhang Yinlin was the successor to the development of Chinese historiography.
Because of his good reputation in the field of historiography, Zhang Yinlin received the opportunity to write a history textbook, and the "Outline of Chinese History" was born under such an opportunity.
Judging from Zhang Yinlin's growth experience, he is a person born for literature. He had never been exposed to any other profession in his life, and had spent his whole life working on the development of Chinese historiography.
Only with such a dedicated person in the literary world can it be possible to create a literary flourish. During the Republic of China period, there was a steady stream of excellent literary works produced thanks to literary obsessives like Zhang Yinlin.
Nowadays, it is not easy to read a good book. Now there are no real writers, and some creators are gradually affected by the impetuous environment, have no heart to study, and will only write sensational stories.
Who can still focus on literature like Zhang Yinlin, that is the luck of this era.
< h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > wrote the Outline of Chinese History and began to show his talents</h1>
In 1935, entrusted by the Nationalist government, Zhang Yinlin began to compile middle school history textbooks. Although it is a textbook for students to read, Zhang Yinlin has played a twelve-point spirit from the moment he received this task, and has devoted himself to it.
In order to ensure the quality of the teaching materials, Zhang Yinlin, who was teaching at Tsinghua at the time, deliberately asked the school for two years of leave and invested all his time and experience on the "Outline of Chinese History".
Under such favorable conditions, the quality of the Outline of Chinese History has naturally been guaranteed. Later, when I read the contents of the history books, not only the words are beautiful and the narrative is vivid, but the accessible ideas revealed in the books all reflect Zhang Yinlin's good intentions when writing.
Zhang Yinlin would work the preparation of the Outline of Chinese History because he had always been dissatisfied with the history education at that time. He believes that the problem of history education should be changed.
The first thing to do is to break through from history textbooks. Zhang Yinlin knows that in compiling middle school history textbooks, it is necessary to consider the reading level of students, so as to truly achieve the purpose of education.
Therefore, throughout the book, he adopts the technique of storytelling, and tells the esoteric historical issues in an easy-to-understand way. Readers can not only draw knowledge from it, but also enjoy the pleasure of reading.
When Zhang Yinlin was teaching at Tsinghua Education, he once told students, "As a writer, you must have dignity. This means that writers can write popular words, but they cannot write vulgar articles, and this principle is vividly reflected in the Outline of Chinese History.
In 1940, the "Outline of Chinese History", which had been written for several years, was officially published. Not long after its publication, this history book caused great repercussions.
After reading the Outline of Chinese History, many historians deeply lamentEd Zhang Yinlin's talent and intentions. Historian Zhang Qiyun called it "a pearl of characters, better than ordinary literary creation." "
As a result, a middle school history textbook was quickly regarded as a classic by countless scholars, and there are only a few works that can surpass the "Outline of Chinese History" to this day.
Zhang Yinlin has created such a masterpiece with his talent and intentions. His insistence on literature has made many scholars ashamed. If it were not for his efforts, and waiting for a hundred years, the "Outline of Chinese History" would probably not have come out as promised.
Only those who have read the "Outline of Chinese History" know that Zhang Yinlin's historical talent, even today, is unmatched. Although China's history and culture are long and long-standing, for young people today, most of the channels to understand history are limited to history textbooks.
History textbooks for the history of the description of most of the general talk, can not arouse people's interest in reading history, if the teacher who writes the history textbook, are as attentive as Zhang Yinlin, I believe that it can better spread history and culture, so that young people really like history, read history, and be the inheritors of history and culture.
<h1 class = "pgc-h-arrow-right" > empathize with each other and eventually break the marriage</h1>
Zhang Yinlin died of illness at the age of 37, and before his death, he not only suffered great physical pain, but also never received spiritual comfort.
Zhang Yinlin originally had a wife, children, and a happy family, if it were not for his empathy and other love, he would not have ended up depressed and ended up with a desolate end.
Zhang Yinlin was originally a tutor for his wife, Lun Huizhu, and the two had a long-term relationship with each other, and after six years of acquaintance, they married in 1934.
At first, the family lived a sweet life, but later with the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, Zhang Yinlin and his wife were forced to live separately. Living in a different place has led to the gradual weakening of the relationship between the two.
In the days of separation, Zhang Yinlin met Rong Huan, who admired him. Rong Huan is young and energetic, and Zhang Yinlin is very fond of her.
Coupled with the contradictions with his wife, it did not take long for him to file for divorce from his wife. I thought that I could live with Rong Huan in this regard, but I didn't expect that Rong Huan had already married someone else.
Because of marriage problems, Zhang Yinlin took the initiative to choose to go to Zunyi Zhejiang University to teach, and he did not have relatives to accompany him, and he only ate and drank all day long, and his mood was extremely depressed and boring.
His physical fitness was not good, coupled with poor living habits, resulting in his deteriorating health. Not long after, his condition gradually deteriorated, he could not be treated in Zunyi, and he died of illness at a young age, which made many people sigh.
His literary attainments could have been higher. If he hadn't made a mistake in his choice of marriage, I'm afraid he wouldn't have gone to Zunyi, and when he was seriously ill, he could have been treated.
Zhang Yinlin is academically talented and conscientious, but he is confused in marriage. Therefore, it is best for people not to take the wrong road, and once they lose their footing, they will hate for thousands of years, and it is Zhang Yinlin who is talking about it.
