Hu Zonggang | Hu Xianhua and the Yining Chen family, Chen Sanli to Hu Xianhua Yizha

Hu Zonggang, Lushan Botanical Garden, Chinese Academy of Sciences

Chen Sanli's association with Hu Xianhua may have begun in 1918. Hu Xianhua was 25 years old and was employed by Nanjing Higher Normal University as a professor of agricultural botany. In the same year, Chen Sanli was already sixty-five, and lived in the Sanyuan Jingshe in Nanjing. Hu Xianhua studied in the United States in the early years of the Republic of China, studied science and became a botanist, but his values were formed by The Influence of Chinese Culture, oriented to tradition, and his poetics were subordinated to Song poetry; Chen Sanli was a pure traditional person, and was the sacrifice of the Jiangxi poetry school in the late Qing Dynasty and early Ming Dynasty. The two were in the same city, Chen Sanli was a former township sage, and Hu Xianxiao was holding a poem manuscript for benefit. Chen Sanli read the postscript: "If you fall into the vulgarity, you can often think about the profound realm of the ancients." With this extraordinary ability, perseverance, and achievements can be measured. Chen Sanli read, Peng Wu September. "It can be seen that the old man rewards the younger generation." This is an accurate record of exchanges, and after that, Hu Xianxiao followed Chen Sanli on a trip and made friends with the old ones, earning a lot of money.

Yu Jin participated in the editing of the "Complete Works of Hu Xianhua", and had to see Chen Sanli from the descendants of the Hu family to Hu Xianhua Yizha two links, in order to study the important historical materials of the Chen family in Yining, first published here, in order to pay the same good. The first passage was written in 1923, and its letter reads:

Brother Bu Zengren:

Show me. A volume of "Cangqiu Ge Poems" is presented. The family letter was sent by Xiao'er Yinke from Boling to his two sisters, and an excerpt was attached, and the middle Judo question could be deleted to make a temporary copy, which was not as good as the prosecutor. Zhao Shuyong belongs to the title of a picture, please ask Brother Yang Xingfo, when there is a convenient person to go to Shanghai, when he entrusts him to take it to hand over.

Woohoo

Be safe

Three Lyton's first February 24

The letter is not long and involves three matters. The CangqiuGe Poems is a collection of poems by Chen Zengshou. Chen Zengshou was slightly younger than Chen Sanli, but his experience was similar, he was born in a family of official eunuchs and scholars, both entered the shogunate of Zhang Zhidong, and entered the Republic of China as a widow, the two had a good friendship, and sang and sang poems to each other. Chen Zengshou's poems, inheriting Song poems, are one of the important families of the "same light body" in the late Qing Dynasty and early Ming Dynasty. At that time, Hu Xianhua studied Qing poetry, and published a number of discussions on Qing poetry in Xueheng, which was valued by the academic community. At this time, Chen Sanli recommended Chen Zengshou's poems to him, so he faked (or sent) his poetry collection. At the beginning of the following year, Xueheng published Hu Xianhua's "Commentary on The Poetry of Chen Renxian Cangqiu Pavilion", and his cloud "Close to Chen Renxian Zengshou's "CangqiuGe Poetry" learned from Huang Chen and was not limited by the Huang Chen Portal, and those who were able to benefit from Han Wei and Yishan Ye in their early years were able to benefit from Han Wei and Yishan Ye. His poems are not as strict as Liu Hedong, and there is no disease of obscurity. The situation is extremely anti-rebellious and poignant, slightly without the spirit of sword rattling, and it is no wonder that Mr. Chen Sanyuan pushed it heavily. The text also contrasts Chen Zengshou's poem with Chen Sanli's poem, which is not recorded. This is one of the matters covered by the communication.

Xueheng was founded by Hu Xianhua and Southeast University liberal arts professors Wu Mi and Mei Guangdi, because they held the same cultural conservatism orientation, that is, to counter the radical trend of thought that emerged from Peking University. Chen Yinke also holds the position of "Xueheng", and is a classmate of Harvard University with Wu Mi, and is a flesh and blood friend. In August 1923, Chen Yinke published the "Book of Sisters" in Xueheng, which was the earliest text for his self-described academic thought and an important document. At that time, Chen Yinke was still abroad, and the source of this manuscript may be thought to have been obtained through Wu Mi. In fact, it was not, it was Hu Xianhua who was taken from Chen Yinke's father Chen Sanli. The second thing involved.

Third, Chen Sanli told Hu Xianhua about Zhao Shuyong's inscription to Yang Xingfo. Yang Xingfo was also a member of the Jiangxi people's clan, who also taught at Southeast University at that time, and was also an important member of the Chinese Science Society, where he intersected with Hu Xianhua. Zhao Shuyong was the son of Zhao Fengchang and the brother-in-law of Yang Xingfo, and the Zhao family lived in Shanghai. Zhao Shuyong re-emphasized Chen Sanli's name, please write an inscription for his painting, according to Mr. Li Kaijun, should be the inscription of "Gao Wuxuan Tu", Chen Sanli's poetry collection is included.

Not long after this letter, Hu Xianhua went to the United States to study again, had no contact with Chen Sanli, returned to China two years later, and continued to teach at Southeast University. Chen Sanli has moved to Hangzhou. Hu Xianxiao did not return to China for a long time, and when he learned that Chen Yinke was about to return to China, he recommended it to Jiang Weiqiao, president of Southeast University, and asked for appointment. Chen Yinke's return to China to take up his post had already been handled by Wu Mi and had been hired by Tsinghua University, so Chen Sanli refused to write a letter. Its text reads:

Brother Bu Zengren has a way:

A small gathering on the lake, a little nostalgic. He has learned from teaching and written Yihong, and he has won the victory and admired it. Obscenely insulting Hui Xie, describing Principal Jiang's victory intentions, quite eager for Yin'er's north to be easy to turn south, which is in line with the purpose of those who are more convenient in the near home. However, Yin'er was repeatedly invited by Qinghua's courtesy, and the rain monk also took a lot of effort, and did not violate the contract, as if he was obedient. Yin Er agreed that the old calendar people could arrive home before and after, and when they were measured by Zun Shu, or after they went to Qinghua, they were circumvented for several months, and then they were determined to stay, all of which could be Xu Tu, and it was difficult to predict at this time. Rate complex, wei liang jian.

i.e. Ode

Three lytons begin with five days

The second letter from Chen Sanli to Hu Xianhua was written in early 1926, on the fifth day of the first lunar month, that is, January 18. Hu Xianhua was enthusiastic, and recommended friends to study and seek jobs in his lifetime, which saw the academic talents, and he also opened up for the university to hire famous teachers, but he did not achieve his wishes. This letter can still corroborate the date of Chen Yinke's return to China. "Wu Mi's Diary": "Chen Yin Kehan, departed from Marseille on December 18", when accurate; but Chen Liuqiu said that he listened to his predecessor Yun "When his father returned from Europe, the weather was hot". The heat is summer, and the journey will not last so long. Bian Shenghui's compilation of the "Annals of Chen Yinke" has not been examined. This letter " people can arrive home before and after the old calendar day " , the day of the first month of the first month, that is, february 19 , coincides with Wu Mi's account.

After that, Hu Xianhua and Chen Sanli had contacts, but there were not many written records, only some sporadic records. For example, in 1925, Hu Xianhua's uncle Hu Xianglin died, and Chen Sanli wrote an epitaph for it, which was not included in the "Scattered Plains Jingshe Wencun" (1949), and the source seen today is the "Biography of Xinhai Character Monuments" compiled by Bian Xiaoxuan. According to Mr. Bian's informing before his death, he borrowed it from Hu Xianhua in 1950 and copied it. Bian Xiaoxuan once asked Hu Xianhua why he was not included in the Wencun, and Hu Xianxiao said: "Probably because Chen Sanli was old and did not have the energy to write it himself, but asked his proud disciple Yuan Siliang to write it, which he looked at and signed." Bian Xiaoxuan said: "In the past, there were many such cases, and a famous person often found someone to ghostwrite because of his age or other reasons. Hu Xianhua does not deliberately avoid the truth of this kind of thing, which can reflect a kind of everyone's demeanor. If the little family is angry, they will say that this is Chen Sanli's leakage and so on. (Bian Xiaoxuan: "A Narrative of the Old Population of Holly", Phoenix Publishing House, 2019) In 2003, Li Kaijun's "Collected Poems of Sanyuan Jingshe" included this article.

In 1933, Liu Xian sorted out his father's poetry collection and asked Hu Xianhua to sign it, and Hu Xianhua thought that his writing was not good, so he asked Chen Sanli to write it. In 1938, not long after Chen Sanli's death, Hu Xianxiao was still in the occupied area of Beiping, and wrote chen San-li, the poet (poet Chen Sanli) for Wen Yuanning's English "Tianxia Monthly". In 1941, when Hu Xianhua was the president of Chung Cheng University, Chen Sanli had died, and Wu Zongci of Jiangxi Tongzhiguan wrote a biography of Chen Sanli, and discussed with Hu Xianhua how to evaluate the master. These letters are now in the collection of Wang Zhichen's descendants, and the letters have been published many times, and will not be repeated here.

Hu Xianhua and Chen Yinke, due to their different professions, did not have written communication. But they are also members of the Academia Sinica Council, which meets once a year and meets with each other at least once a few years. Hu Xianxiao greatly admired Chen Yinke's learning, and in 1950 wrote a long article entitled "The Scientific Movement and Scientists in Beijing", which included a comment on Chen Yinke:

Yin Ke Xiu Shuiren, son of the poet Chen Sanli, was born in 1890 and was a teenager who studied state governance and Western literature. He studied at the University of Berlin in Japan, Germany, and Harvard University in the United States. He is proficient in nearly ten kinds of ancient and modern scripts in the East and West, especially in Indian Pali and Sanskrit, and also studies Manchurian, Mongolian and Tibetan, and has edited the Sanskrit "Diamond Sutra" manuscript unpublished. In 1926, he was appointed Research Professor at the Institute of Chinese Studies of Tsinghua University, in 1928 he was appointed Researcher and Director of the Institute of History and Linguistics of the Academia Sinica, and in 1948 he was elected as an academician of the Academia Sinica. He was once employed as a professor of Chinese literature at Oxford University in the United Kingdom, but was unable to lecture due to his blindness, and is currently a professor at Lingnan University. Yin Ke is knowledgeable and strong, and he is only blessed. Lectures at Tsinghua are famous for their lectures on the history of the Sui and Tang Dynasties, and every time they sit at the pulpit, they sit with their eyes closed, their mouths gushing endlessly, never checking their notes, and something can be said on a certain page of a certain book. The experience of the history of ordinary life is all in a twenty-four history of the eyebrows. After the Anti-Japanese War army was revived, he sent this book to Kunming, but the Middle Way was lost, and then he wrote two books based on his memory: "Treatise on the Political History of the Tang Dynasty" and "Brief Discussion on the Origin of the Sui and Tang Systems". In addition, he has published thirty articles of various sporadic articles, and the publishers cannot learn one or two percent of them. Now that he is blind, he lectures in his home as before, and the students listen to the lectures in his home. Its protégés are many famous historians, but they can only pass on their surplus, and their broad and profound foundations are rare in the world, and few can reach them.

Hu Xianxiao's comments on Chen Yinke's comments have not attracted the attention of Chen Yinke's researchers, so they are excerpted here.

The person who had the closest contact between the Yining Chen family and Hu Xianhua belonged to Chen Fenghuai. Chen Fenghuai was the grandson of Chen Sanli and the son of the eldest son, Chen Hengke. When Chen Sanli lived in Jinling Sanyuan Jingshe, Chen Fenghuai studied at Jinling University and later transferred to the Biology Department of Southeast University, where he was a protégé of Hu Xianhua. After graduation, he first served as a teaching assistant at Tsinghua University, Hu Xianhua guided him to study the ecology of plants in Beijing's Xishan Mountains, and was absorbed by Hu Xianhua to the Jingsheng Biological Survey Institute, and in 1934, he was selected to go abroad to the Royal Botanic Gardens of Edinburgh in the United Kingdom to study botanical gardening and primrose classification. During Chen Fenghuai's departure abroad, his wife Zhang Mengzhuang was arranged by Hu Xianhua to work as a librarian at Jingsheng. In 1936, Chen Fenghuai returned to China and served as a horticultural technician at the Lushan Forest Botanical Garden. During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, Hu Xianhua served as the president of Chung Cheng University, and Chen Fenghuai was recruited to teach at Chung Cheng University. After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, he was sent back to Lushan to preside over the demobilization of the Botanical Garden. Under the leadership of Chen Fenghuai, the park was already famous in the early 1950s. Since then, Chen Fenghuai has also built Nanjing Zhongshan Botanical Garden, Wuhan Botanical Garden, and South China Botanical Garden. Chen Fenghuai was carried by Hu Xianhua, which was the continuation of the world's friendship.
