Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and where there are people, there is vanity fair where no one can hide. In today's flashy society, we are used to "absurd" masters wearing various titles, including presidents of certain associations, experts in certain fields, and many people who call themselves "masters of Chinese studies".
I remember that when Mr. Ji Xianlin was still alive, he wrote an article demanding that he take off three laurels on his head, with the highest weight being "the master of Chinese studies". For Ji Lao, this laurel is deserved, but he always feels that he is not worthy of this title.
Compared with Ji Lao, another Wen Huaisha who is often called "the master of Chinese studies" is somewhat eclipsed.
0 1 age in doubt, right or wrong?
There are many red people, and big trees are more attractive. A few years ago, Wen, who was a smash hit in academic circles, had countless dazzling auras, but there were also many voices of doubt from cultural circles, and the focus of doubt was nothing more than whether he was a veritable master of Chinese studies.
After all, in that period, those real masters who were born in the late Qing Dynasty and early Republic of China and grew up in the Republic of China witnessed the most vicissitudes of China gradually left us.
This is the loss of culture and science, and it is also an important stage in the process of China's cultural inheritance, in which the young and the yellow are not connected and the talents are dying. I also experienced that period, when famous people were carried out one by one and crowned as masters. Wen is one of the most typical representatives.
The reason why Wen is chased by some people in the academic circles is that there are too many places in him that are criticized, which are difficult to explain and refute. Among them, his age has caused so much controversy that he can't justify himself.
Wen publicly stated on many occasions that he and Mr. Qian Zhongshu had a deep friendship in the same year, but for some reason, they gradually alienated and never talked again. Qian Zhongshu and his wife did not comment on this, and there is no way to know whether it is true or not.
Only after liberation, when Wen settled in Beijing, the date of birth written in the household registration book was 1920, far less than his self-proclaimed 19 10 year. In fact, there is nothing to discuss about this. Many famous people came out to prove this problem, and proved that he was born in 19 10 with various evidences.
In fact, whether it's 10 or 20, it doesn't mean much to him, just 108 or 98.
In fact, Wen has achieved something in his life, and his experience is quite rich. His first teacher was Mr. Xu, a famous poetess in the Republic of China, and later he studied under Mr. Zhang Taiyan. This also laid a solid foundation for his progress in the field of poetry and ode.
There are many works, but there are no masterpieces.
Wen Huaisha also wrote many works in his life. When he was young, he was active in many areas as a war correspondent, and his poems were often published in newspapers and periodicals. Later, I took part in underground work and worked as an editor in a newspaper. It's just that he is a little hypocritical and criticized by many people.
After liberation, he was imprisoned for a period of time and took part in many activities during the ten-year turmoil. For past mistakes, he sometimes excused himself, and he had to do so in order to protect others. Whether this is the case, of course, only he and the parties themselves know.
Later, he published many opinions in The Songs of the South and Lu Xun's articles. Some people even praised him as "the first person in Chu Ci", but later found that many of his articles and opinions were patchwork and had no ideological value of their own. Many people object that he is a master of Chinese studies, basically because his works are not academic and research-oriented.
However, there are many works of Wen. His poems and songs often appear in major media. From time to time, he throws out a small poem and writes some articles about Chu Ci. Probably because he has special feelings for Qu Yuan, or because he knows Qu Yuan better, most articles are inextricably linked with Qu Yuan.
Wen and Mr Ji Xianlin also have a good friendship. Ji Lao also said that he is about the same age as Wen. Ji Lao was born in 19 1 1. Judging from here, his age is not a big problem.
However, his character is different from Ji Lao's. Ji Lao kept a low profile all his life. He always digs deep into his research field before he lowers his head to handle a case, hoping to leave something useful for future generations.
Wen is much more high-profile He is always touring all over the country, and likes to express his cultural views loudly on the stage of major universities. No matter on TV programs or in various cultural forums, Wen can always be seen. As soon as he appears, he will probably have a lesson on the study of Chu Ci.
The past is like smoke. If we open our memories and find relevant topics, we can always see the poems left by Wen. This is the true story of his student Fan Zeng. It seems that his calligraphy works can be seen everywhere, and he can always be found in school libraries and corporate names.
Is 03 a master of Chinese studies?
To be fair, Wen's influence on literature is indeed far from that of Qian Zhongshu, Ji Xianlin and Ai Qing, who are similar in age. Among peers, there are very few people who can be called masters of Chinese studies, or even a handful. However, we have to admit that Wen still has some attainments in literature, and has also cultivated several proud students.
Fan Zeng and Pang Zhonghua, the famous hard-pen calligrapher mentioned above, are all from Wen Huaisha. And looking through some historical materials, we can find that both Mr. Qian Zhongshu and Mr. Ji Xianlin spoke highly of him. Wen and Guo Moruo have been bosom friends for many years. Without words and knowledge, I'm afraid it's hard to get along with these people.
Of course, when the storm broke out in 2008, the focus was nothing more than judging whether he was a master of Chinese studies. Judging from his works or academic research articles, perhaps the title of master of Chinese studies is a bit too heavy for him.
Even Ji Lao, recognized by China people, can't bear this burden. I think Wen can't stand it, but there is no denying that he still has some accomplishments in literature, at least better than those hypocrites and pseudo-experts in the society now.
The Sri Lankan has passed away. Two and a half years ago, Wen left the world of mortals where he had inspired writing at the age of 65,438+008.
Maybe it was controversial, maybe it was unbearable, but all this vanished at the moment he closed his eyes. As the saying goes, we should still maintain due respect and let those things go with the wind.
