Xingtai hongru tradition

Who is Qian Mu? When I was in high school, I won a prize in a math contest, and I was a little fascinated by math. When popularizing the optimization method of 0.6 18, I met the famous mathematician Hua. I studied theoretical mechanics and material mechanics in engineering school, and got to know Qian Weichang, a scientist who was engaged in social activities at that time. An engineering student who doesn't know Qian Mu should be normal. I bought four books and five classics and read the Analects of Confucius before I realized that there was such a "master of Chinese studies". But he died in Taipei on 1990.

Primary school didn't learn the Analects of Confucius, but criticized Kong Qiu out of context; Five years before I retired, I had time to go to reading of the analects of confucius, and I felt that I met her late. So people who study The Analects of Confucius began to surf the Internet: 1960 Qian Mu's New Interpretation of The Analects; 1976 nan huaijin's Analects; Fu Peirong's interpretation of The Analects of Confucius in 2006; Yu Dan's experience of The Analects; 20 15 Wang Meng's "the world returns to benevolence: Wang Meng said".

As a modern historian in China, Qian Mu, a generation of Confucian scholars, imitated Ma Shiwentong's style when he was teaching The Analects of Confucius in primary school, and wrote The Interpretation of Chinese, which was published by Shanghai Commercial Press 19 18, and his first book was officially published. During my teaching in middle school, I also finished the Analects of Confucius and other works. From 65438 to 0960, Qian Mu gave lectures at Yale University in the United States, delivered academic speeches at the Institute of Oriental Studies at Harvard University, and completed the New Interpretation of The Analects, which became one of the most popular annotated editions of The Analects in the 20th century.

What if you know about Qian Mu? Knowing Qian Mu only from the perspective of The Analects of Confucius will certainly be "a thousand miles away". Mr. Qian Mu is knowledgeable and has a lot of books. Introduction: His works have been published one after another, with more than 80 kinds,14 million words. His History of the Pre-Qin Dynasty, the Years of the Pre-Qin Scholars and the Academic History of China in the Past 300 Years have been reprinted repeatedly in Hong Kong, Taiwan and the mainland. The Outline of National History published by him in 1940 is an influential general history work in China in the 20th century, which has influenced generations of young students.

I have never read his book. Just retired, I read what my granddaughter Qian Wanyue wrote on her mobile phone: Why did Qian Mu and the General Assembly fail to "go to the end". It is reported that after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, Qian Mu did not return to Beiping after his demobilization with the school, but ended his teaching experience at Peking University and embarked on a road of fading out and alienating the academic center. Read him who is in temperament! I also saw an article in Qian Mu's Talking about Poetry. In Qian Mu's view, reading poetry is not to become a poet or writer, but to learn to appreciate, to get in touch with a higher life through appreciation, and to get endless comfort in life. Poked me in the heart.

Reading is a kind of understanding, and visiting ancient times on the spot should be another kind of understanding. Taking advantage of the opportunity in Wuxi, I went to the "Former Residence of Qian Mu and Qian Weichang" in Hongsheng Town, visited the place where the "master of Chinese studies" was born, searched his bumpy life and struggle, studied why such a figure appeared, and traced back the profound heritage of Wu culture.

Online introduction: transfer once on the way and take bus * * * to 1 1 stop. However, it didn't go well. It takes an hour to transfer to that bus. When asked about the old people who speak Wunong dialect, they all don't know where their former residence is. I missed the train on a hot day, and there are still more than 1000 meters to the station. Thanks to a small factory owner who drove me, I took a right turn and saw my former residence. The former site of Qianjia, which is located next to "Huaihai Yizhuang" in Hongshan Street, is also very old with photos. It was destroyed by two fires in the last century, and only the site of 20 square meters was preserved. Today, according to the scale of the building in the heyday of money, it reproduces the old appearance, covering an area of about 5,400 square meters. The whole building, with its blue bricks, tiles, terraces and waterside pavilions, has the flavor of Jiangnan water town. There is a small river in front of the former residence, named "Little Ao Jing", which once accompanied the growth of Qian's children and has been flowing ever since.

The tour tips include: the first visit to Qiye Xiang Yan, the second visit to Hongyi Pavilion, the third visit to Sushu Pavilion and the fourth visit to Memorial Hall. Because there are few people, I have wandered around my former residence many times.

In the bedroom and study, the wooden bed with mosquito nets seems to be waiting for the penny wood to sleep, and the ink on the desk is still there. There is no historical record of Qian Mu's "falling in love from the time he learned to read" on the bookshelf, only modern books such as Academician Wuxi Hongsheng and President Qian Weichang. The four plaques on the east wall are engraved with instructions from the rich family, which are divided into four chapters: individual, family, society and country; Under the "Huaihai Guild Hall", these four articles are carved on a big plaque from right to left. It seems to correspond to the four things advocated by Confucianism, such as "self-cultivation, keeping the family in order, governing the country and calming the world", but the content is more specific and grounded.

It is reported that "Family Instructions of Qian Family" is a priceless treasure and a spiritual legacy left by Qian Liu, the ancestor of Qian Family in the late Tang Dynasty. Family precepts are the instructions for children and grandchildren to live and manage their families in the world. This has become the code of conduct for future generations of Qian, making this family brilliant. In his personal article, there is a motto that "reading classics is deeply rooted and reading history lessons is great", and Qian Mu is a model. His scholarship is different from the four parts of the subset of Confucian classics, and it is a study of Confucianism in traditional Chinese studies. The purpose of lifelong writing and lecturing is always to care about the future of the country and national culture.

I sat on the bench for a while in the "private school" and experienced the learning atmosphere of the Qian family. A long and narrow north-south room, with a portrait of Confucius hanging on the southernmost wall and couplets on both sides: being able to learn from others, being kind to others and loving celebrities. All the light shines on the long table from Liangzi, on the east door and on the portraits of Confucius, Laozi, Mozi and Zhuangzi on the west wall. Qian Mu was born in Sushu Hall. From the early Ming Dynasty to the late Qing Dynasty, the Qian family set up a private school for Qian's children to go to school. Qian Mu studied in this private school at the age of 7 and painted red here with his brothers. According to later generations, Qian Mu can learn seventy or eighty new words every day, and his memory and intelligence are excellent. Qian Mu's father died young at the age of 1 1, and his family came to a decline. When his brother Qian Zhi was 0/5 years old, he went to work in a shop in Su Xichang. When his mother was free, she spun and woven herself, subsidized her family and provided for her children to go to school. Therefore, Qian Mu especially knows how to study hard. When his brothers read the Four Books, he already knew the Five Classics. It was not until 1908 that Qian Weichang's father founded Xinyou Primary School that the private school ended its mission.

Qian Mu 10 years old received new primary education, and 13 years old entered Changzhou Fu Middle School. His knowledge, knowledge and memory won the praise of his classmates Liu Bannong and Qu Qiubai. His high-level composition won the praise of his teacher, Mr Lv Simian. 18 years old as a rural primary school teacher. Since 1930, he has been a professor in many famous universities.

In the introduction of the tour, "Shouyuting" was not introduced, but I went to the front and saw the guide card, which I felt should be related to my exquisite reason. Look carefully, this is a common four-corner pavilion in the south. The word "keep stupid" has profound meaning, which comes from Qian Jiaxun; "Smart and wise, keep its folly, the merits of the world, keep it; Face the world bravely and keep it with fear; Be rich in the four seas and remain modest. " Although the pavilion is small, it looks leisurely and relaxed. In the east corner of the pavilion, a bunch of banana leaves stretch behind the strange stone; On the south side, a pearl tree is flourishing and shaded by trees. Beside the wooden window of the pavilion, there are many works of Qian Mu's calligraphy: the heart of a saint is like a mirror, and things come without chaos. There is a couplet, "The grass never dies, but the wind flies." Under the railing of the pavilion, the green leaves show so many small green fruits that attract people's attention.

These landscapes have their own styles, but what is more fascinating is the introduction: "Shouyu Pavilion" is also called "Siting Pavilion". The descendants of all tribes must think on this wall if they violate family rules, and those who are serious will be punished and trained. It is not known whether the Qian family's Huai Hai Yi Zhuang has a master like Jia Baoyu in the Grand View Garden. Five hundred years ago, the miracle of six academicians was born in charity, which was named "Fangguan River" near Xiaoaojing, a tributary of Taibo.

I remember Sa Beining hosted the "Let's Talk" program and invited Academician Qian Yi. She said, "Don't call me an academician, please call me a teacher. Because being a teacher is something I really like. " Yes, Qian Mu teaches middle school from primary school and university from middle school, and works as a professor in Peking University, Tsinghua and The National SouthWest Associated University. His nephew Qian Weichang returned to China in May 1946, and was employed as a professor in department of mechanical engineering, Tsinghua University, and concurrently as a professor in Peking University and yenching university. Qian Yi, the daughter of Qian Mu, is now a professor in the Department of Environmental Engineering in Tsinghua University. The money mentioned at the beginning of the article is Qian Mu's granddaughter. She inherited the mantle of Mr. Qian Lao and chose the classical literature major of Chinese Department. Now she is a professor at Beijing Language and Culture University. They are scholars who "never tire of learning" and inheritors of "never tire of teaching". They keep in mind the family motto of "developing learning and cultivating talents, and strengthening the country will dominate" and contribute to the great cause of the Chinese nation. Really six academicians, half teachers.

In Taipei, Mr. Qian Mu also lived in Sushulou for more than 30 years, giving lectures, writing and talking in seclusion. He hung a couplet in the building: "When water comes, it naturally sees the power of the Tao, and when the cliff dies, it sees the heart of heaven." These two couplets are from the poems of Lu Shiyi, a scholar in the south of the Yangtze River in the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties. This is not "achievement" or "summary", but a kind of confidence, a very strong confidence. I also saw this couplet signed by Qian Mu in the former residence I visited. Through my eyes and thoughts, I know who Qian Mu is. Have a preliminary understanding of him; It is further known: Why did Qian Mu, the last scholar-bureaucrat and master of Chinese studies in China, come into being in the excellent land of Wu culture?

This is my first time to visit my former residence in such detail and get some insights! It seems that there is still a chance to be created, and I will "never forget my happy return"!
