As we all know, Mr. Lu Xun has scolded countless people, and sometimes he scolds people without mercy. But Lu Xun also has his own people who he admires incomparably, and among the masters of the Republic of China, Chen Yinke is a person that Lu Xun respects very much. Liang Qichao also has great respect for Chen Yinke, and he once said: "Although I Liang Qichao are works and other works, my works added together are not as valuable as Mr. Chen's three hundred words." ”
Interestingly, many of us nowadays mispronounce the name Chen Yinke. Ke is not pronounced "què", but "kè". Regarding Chen Yinke's name, everyone on the Tsinghua campus at that time often called this name wrong, and a friend asked him: "Why did everyone call your name wrong, but you did not correct it?" Chen Yin smiled and said, "What is this, there is no need for this!" ”
Chen Yinke didn't care at all whether others mispronounced names, he was more concerned about everyone paying attention to his knowledge. In 1925, Tsinghua University established the Institute of Chinese Studies. At that time, the Institute of Chinese Studies had four major mentors, Wang Guowei, Liang Qichao, Zhao Yuanren and Chen Yinke. Chen Yinke came to Tsinghua at the latest, and the reason why he became one of the four great mentors was recommended by Wu Mi, director of the Institute of Traditional Chinese Studies, and Liang Qichao was also very much in favor.
However, when the name of the tutor of the Institute of Chinese Studies was announced, it still caused some controversy. Some people say that Chen Yinke, who does not have a large number of monographs and does not have a doctorate degree, how can he become a tutor at the highest academic institution in China? For similar arguments questioning Chen Yinke, Liang Qichao gave a ruthless attack, "Without academic titles and works, you can't be a professor at the National Academy?" Although I Liang Qichao are works and other works, my works added together, and there is no value of Mr. Chen's three hundred words. ”
Chen Yinke is worthy of being a master of masters, and everyone who has listened to his lectures has marveled at his erudition, and even other professors often come to listen to the lectures. The author noticed that at that time, there were two factions in Tsinghua Garden, one was not studied, and the other was left to study. Neither of the two factions looked down on each other and often attacked each other, but both parties respected Chen Yinke, calling him "a professor among professors."
Chen Yinke is also very confident in his own knowledge, and he has a famous saying: "I don't talk about what my predecessors have said; I don't talk about what my neighbors have said; I don't talk about what foreigners have spoken; I don't talk about it myself in the past." Now I'm only going to talk about what no one has ever said. Isn't that a crazy sentence? It is indeed very crazy, but Chen Yinke has this capital mania, and the name of "only one person in three hundred years" is not a fiction.
Regarding Chen Yinke, no amount of ink can describe his erudition. Once, when the Tsinghua Chinese Department recruited new students, the head of the department asked Chen Yinke to come up with a question, but he did not think that the topic he came up with was a pair of sub-questions, with only three words, "Sun Xinger". Chen Yinke's inner answer is two, "Zu Chongzhi" or "Wang Yinzhi". This question was difficult for many candidates, and finally a candidate named Zhou Zumo used "Hu Shizhi" to play it, which made Chen Yinke very satisfied.
Using pairs as the test question was difficult for many people to understand at that time, because this was the admissions test of Tsinghua University. Chen Yinke, however, has his own considerations, and he hopes to attract the attention of society to traditional Chinese culture through this question. In other words, Chen Yinke is confident in Chinese culture.
Many readers and friends leave messages to read more about modern history, not that Teacher Li does not want to write, because many times it may not pass the review. If you want to understand the modern history of China, Teacher Li suggests that you read "Modern Chinese History" written by Jiang Tingdian.
This book was written by Jiang Tingdian in Wuhan in only 2 months, and he was originally going to use 10 years to complete it, but unfortunately his daily work was too busy. Although it took a short time, this book is extremely important in the study of modern Chinese history and is known as a "pioneering work". The book was unanimously recommended by Guo Tingyi, director of the Institute of Modern History of Taiwan's Academia Sinica, Fu Sinian, former president of National Taiwan University, and Fei Zhengqing, tenured professor at Harvard University.
The famous historian He Bingdi said: In the past half century, how many modern historical works have surpassed it? Today's award-winning "Emperor's Tome" does not add up to the weight of this book.
Historian Li Ji said that he established a scientific foundation for china's modern history during this period. This foundation is not only built on a number of original materials, but more importantly on several basic ideas that he developed. With the use of these ideas, he was able to bring this large pile of original materials to life.
Tenured Professor Fairbank of Harvard University: The Bull Ear of Modern Chinese History.
The book is thin, less than 60,000 words, making a drastic summary of nearly a hundred years of Chinese history, and making subversive evaluations of Li Hongzhang, Lin Zexu, Qi Shan, Ding Ruchang and others. For example, Wei Yuan's "Atlas of the Sea Country", which the Chinese people did not pay attention to, but Japan was like a treasure, which promoted the Meiji Restoration. What is the trap that even the sages have not been able to escape for thousands of years? Lin Zexu, who made the feat of "Humen Gun Smoke", was suspected of missing our nation's twenty years?
Are the above questions "alternative"? There are many more questions like this in the book, and Jiang Tingdian gives a convincing interpretation. In addition to Jiang Tingdi's "Modern Chinese History", there are also Meng Sen's "Lecture Notes on the History of the Qing Dynasty" and "Lecture Notes on the History of Ming", Deng Zhicheng's "History of the Song and Liao Dynasties", Lu Simian's "History of the Five Dynasties of Sui and Tang Dynasties", "History of the Southern and Northern Dynasties of the Two Jin Dynasties", "History of Qin and Han" and "History of the Pre-Qin", a total of 10 books. These 10 books are the brainchild of four taidou masters in modern China, and after reading them, they can really understand history.
These books were written by the real masters of the Republic of China, although they are not written in chinese, but the tone is relatively heavy, not as refreshing to read in the vernacular now, but it is very worth sinking down to read. Now headlines do activities, 10 books only need 128 yuan, the average book is 12.8 yuan, less than a meal money, very cost-effective.
