In 20 18, Tsung i Jao, a master of Chinese studies, passed away, and China lost the last pedantic master of traditional Chinese studies. Let's take a look at Mr. Zong Yirao's scholarship first, and then look at the famous history of a great scholar who has studied both Chinese and Western. Perhaps it is enough for reference.
A legendary master Rao Yi.
Zong Yirao was born in Chao 'an, and his father Rao's family was rich and sensitive to Chinese studies. Xiao Tian Building, the first library in Chaoan County, was built at home. As a noble son born with a golden spoon. Mr. Zong Yirao is not interested in debauchery. Since primary school, Mr. Rao has been imprisoned in this treasure house of knowledge, addicted to it and addicted to it.
Mr. Zong Rao has a family background. Under the influence of his father, he laid a very solid foundation of Chinese studies and read hundreds of thousands of books in Xiao Tian Pavilion. A subset of classics, calligraphy and painting, Dunhuang ancient books, Buddhism and Confucianism are all in my heart.
But this is really just the beginning. Mr. Tsung i Jao, aged 65,438+08, was recommended as a researcher in Guangdong Sinology Archives because of his outstanding talent. Here, Mr. Rao finished reading all the books in the library, which laid a very solid foundation for his academic career.
Later, Mr Rao moved to Hong Kong and began to write highly respected works on China studies. Mr. Rao has devoted himself to studying in Hong Kong, and his works are extremely rich. Mr Tsung i Jao is not only a historian, an expert in epigraphy, but also a master of literature. He published more than 1000 high-level papers in his life, which attracted the attention of later generations.
Tsung i Jao's academic achievements.
Tsung i Jao was the first person who systematically studied Oracle Bone Inscriptions in Yin Dynasty. The detailed and accurate research results have won the respect of Mr. Tsung i Jao from the French. In 1960s, French awarded Mr. Tsung i Jao "Sinology Scholar Award". At this point, Mr Zong I Rao became a sinologist on par with Wang Guowei and others.
Mr. Rao is extremely rigorous in his scholarship, even if it is a word difference, he will ponder it repeatedly and strive to be accurate and beautiful. In 1970s, Mr. Tsung i Jao made a comprehensive study of Dunhuang calligraphy art, elaborated it in detail with powerful writings, and became an expert in Dunhuang calligraphy research.
Mr. Tsung i Jao's academic research achievements are brilliant and rich. The book "Collected Works of Tsung i Jao in the Twentieth Century" alone has more than ten thousand words of 10, leaving a valuable and rich spiritual wealth for future generations.
Mr Tsung i Jao and Mr Ji Xianlin are old friends. Since 1980s, Mr Tsung i Jao has often visited Mr Ji Xianlin. The two men complemented each other on academic issues and started an academic story. From then on, "South Rao North Season" shouted even louder.
Tsung i Jao lives in Happy Valley. Mr. Zong Yi Rao likes to sit on the balcony, take a lazy nap in the afternoon sun, and then bury himself in writing a book. Mr. Rao's works in any period are highly praised by later scholars.
Mr. Rao made great personal academic achievements and was greatly appreciated by later scholars. During his days at the Hong Kong Racecourse, he wrote many wonderful academic stories about Hong Kong.
Zong Qinghou's later years.
On February 6, 20 18, Zong I Rao died in Hong Kong at the age of 10 1. On the road of a century's life, Mr. Tsung i Jao devoted himself to study with books as his companion. So that Hong Kong newspapers that like gossip and lace can't dig up any lace and jokes of Mr. He Zong I Rao.
Such a scholar who does not seek fame and fortune is a model for contemporary scholars. The sages are absent, and the younger generation needs to move on. When western pop culture is sweeping the world, it is a test for scholars to sit on the bench and study Chinese studies.
Mr. Zong I Rao has made such great achievements because of years of study and accumulation. Tsung i Jao would never have achieved such great achievements and success if it had not been for the hard work and addiction in the first 30 years.
Learning is hard work. Influenced by Zongyi's background and family, he is full of interest and curiosity about the miscellaneous scholars of Chinese studies, which is an inexhaustible motive force to support Zongyi's lifelong research and discussion, and also the source for Zongyi to become a master.
Mr. Tsung i Jao is a master of traditional Chinese studies, integrating history, literature, calligraphy, music, ancient poetry and foreign history. Even ancient Hindi and Babylonian were mastered by Mr. Zong Rao.
Mr. Rao's life research direction covers ancient and modern China and foreign countries, the subset of classics and history, Dunhuang and Yin Shang. It can be said that a hundred schools of thought are one, and it is a precious master of human culture. After the death of 20 18, people at home and abroad mourned.
Zong I Rao can be said to be a pedant, and such a great scholar pursues learning itself. All his life, he wants nothing but his studies. The world in his eyes is full of ideals and wisdom, and the younger generation can learn enough and make new breakthroughs and developments in Chinese studies.
Mr. Rao pursues the mutual benefit between man and nature and the unity of man and nature. Mr. Ji Xianlin paid attention to the unity of man and nature, while Mr. Zong Qinghou went further and paid attention to the mutual promotion between nature and man, making further progress and promotion.
Zong Yirao was named after his father. Rao Yi, a generation of literati, wanted his son to be a gentleman. The so-called "modest gentleman, gentle as jade." Undoubtedly, Mr. Tsung i Jao lived up to his father's expectations and encouragement.
Decades later, it was almost natural for Mr Tsung i Jao to become a master of Chinese studies. He was born to study Chinese studies. Mr Tsung i Jao is very modest. He said that Hong Kong made him. However, many scholars say that Mr Rao has enriched Hong Kong's culture and scholarship.
Zongyirao Cultural Center has a large collection of his cultural works. A person's life is short, but Mr Zong I Rao's achievements make him immortal in the cultural history of China. Become a figure engraved into the cultural history of China like Nalan Xingde and Wang Guowei.
As the inheritor and pioneer of Lingnan Sinology, Mr. Tsung i Jao's works left a deep impression in Hongkong. I believe that after the great changes of the times, Mr. Zong I Rao's works and culture will last forever.
For decades, Mr Rao has made outstanding contributions to the cause of Sinology in China and the development of Sinology in the world, but this modest and simple old man has no personal story. He has been burning for the academic progress of Sinology and Sinology all his life.
As far as academic achievements are concerned, Tsung i Jao is a great man. When he died in his hospital bed, the world sinology community lost his master. Not only knowledge, but also morality is passed down from generation to generation. Zong Yi Rao is enough to be a teacher for future generations.
Some people commented that Zong Qinghou created China culture in Hong Kong, but Zong Qinghou modestly said that Hong Kong created him. Such mutual achievements are legendary, and life is only a few decades. Sinologists need more such masters in the future.
Zong I Rao's fame comes from his own strong accumulation and diligence. Academically speaking, if China's academic circles want to gain the respect of the world's sinologists, they should learn from Mr. Zong Qinghou's academic spirit.
