Hu Shi
Hu Shi’s original name was Si Zuo, and his scientific name was Hong Xi. When he took the "Gengqian" study abroad examination, he changed his name to Hu Shi and his courtesy name was Shizhi. Mr. Wang was born outside Dadongmen, Shanghai on February 17, 1891, and was born in Jixi, Anhui Province. His father, Hu Chuan (also known as Tiehua, nicknamed Blunt Fu), was a tribute student in the Qing Dynasty. He served as the general inspector of Songhu Lika and the magistrate of Zhili Prefecture in Taitung. His book "Two Chronicles of Taiwan" has been handed down to the world. He was a leading figure in his life. He died on February 24, 1962 at the age of 72 while serving as the president of Academia Sinica.
Hu Shi started his education at the age of 5 and received 9 years of traditional education in his hometown private school in Jixi, laying a certain foundation for traditional learning. In 1904, he went to Shanghai to attend a new school, accepted "Tianyan Lun" and other new trends of thought, and began to publish vernacular articles in "Jingye Xunbao". In the summer of 1910, he went to study in the United States. He first studied agriculture at Cornell University and then transferred to liberal arts. In 1915, he entered Columbia University and studied philosophy with the pragmatist philosopher Dewey. In 1917, he completed his doctoral thesis "The Evolution of Logical Methods in Ancient China". During this period, Hu Shi enthusiastically discussed plans for literary improvement and attempted to compose vernacular poetry. The correspondence with Chen Duxiu, the editor-in-chief of "New Youth", and the publication of the article "A Preliminary Discussion on Literary Reform" triggered a literary revolution with great momentum and far-reaching influence. In the same year, Hu Shi returned to China after completing his studies, was hired as a professor at Peking University, and participated in the editing of the magazine "New Youth". From then on, he became unstoppable and became one of the main leaders of the New Culture Movement.
During the May Fourth Movement, Hu Shi successively wrote "The Theory of Literary Concepts in History" and "The Theory of Literary Revolution in Construction", advocating "Literature of the Chinese Language, Literature of the Chinese Language", and successively completed "Introduction to the Grammar of the Chinese Language" ", "History of Vernacular Literature" and other works played a decisive role in the replacement of classical Chinese by vernacular as an important tool of thought and communication for modern Chinese people.
While advocating theory, Hu Shi also made some "attempts" in literary creation. Neither his novels nor his screenplays were successful. His unique collection of "Attempts", published in 1902, was the first collection of new vernacular poems in the history of literature, and was quite pioneering.
Literary creation was not his strong point. Another major contribution of Hu Shi during the New Culture Movement was the introduction of new ideas. His "Ibsenism" and "The Problem of Chastity" were both enlightening and enlightening works at that time. From the debate over issues and doctrines to the "Collection of Human Rights" and then to hosting the "Independent Review", Hu Shi always adhered to an independent attitude and critical spirit. When the Anti-Japanese War began, Hu Shi served as ambassador to the United States. After the victory, he served as president of Peking University and dean of Academia Sinica. However, he always maintained his true character as a scholar and never betrayed the May Fourth intellectuals.
Hu Shi called the New Culture Movement "China's Renaissance" and asserted that it had four purposes: researching problems; importing academic theories; sorting out national heritage; and recreating civilization. According to his understanding, the so-called sorting out the national heritage is to use scientific methods to conduct a systematic study of the fragmented ancient knowledge of three thousand years. Therefore, Hu Shi attaches great importance to academic methods and has repeatedly written articles introducing the "scientific methods" of Qing Confucianism and Western philosophy, so much so that he has repeatedly claimed that his academic research is to prove and promote his "scientific methods."
Hu Shih’s scholarship has two main fields, one is the history of Chinese philosophy and the other is the history of Chinese literature. Although "Outline of the History of Chinese Philosophy" has only published the first volume, and "History of Vernacular Literature" has not published the second volume, both books are classic works that establish norms and lay the foundation for the discipline. Later generations can praise or criticize, but they cannot ignore its existence. The former's perspective on scholars and history, and the latter's dual-line literary concept are both "bold assumptions" that have a profound impact on the academic development of this century. In addition, he pioneered the new study of red learning, re-examined the history of Zen Buddhism, and used the historical evolution method to study Chinese chapter novels, which all contributed to the creation of a new trend and are indispensable.
After the Anti-Japanese War, Hu Shi was unable to advance academically due to his busy schedule of state affairs and the inherent limitations of his own academic path. In his later years, he was obsessed with the mystery of "Shui Jing Zhu" and worked hard, but unfortunately the results were not satisfactory.
