1987 In the spring, Ma gave a lecture at Fukui University in Japan. At that time, 20 volumes of rare Japanese Chinese poems in China opened his eyes. It turns out that Japan "once had a huge group of China poetry writers that could not disappear and a glorious history of China poetry prosperity." This is a wasteland that has been neglected for a long time, and it deeply contains the miracle of the development history of world civilization. "In desperation, he jumped up and established the comparative subject of Japanese Chinese poetry. After more than ten years of searching, it is common for books to break lines and roll pages, and even they have to "enjoy themselves and go their separate ways" and face untimely embarrassment.
June 5438+October 2004 10 published a monograph, which was praised as "the most comprehensive and exquisite Japanese Chinese poetry research work today". Domestic experts praised him for "enduring loneliness and overcoming setbacks", while Japanese scholars felt that he "introduced Japanese Chinese poetry into the hometown of China's poetry". Second, creating and supplementing the new word "Ma Zhongshan Seal" is another peak of Ma's life. The key to creating new words lies in scientific rigor. Ma established three principles: conforming to the development law of ancient Chinese character structure, based on ancient Chinese character materials and following established laws. Referring to the inscription characteristics of Zhongshan Sanqi, combined with the traditional font structure of Liushu, he excavated more than ten kinds of documents one by one, including Shuowen Jiezi, Guwen Zuan and Jinwen Zuan, and determined 4 14 standard characters. Sometimes after repeated textual research, it is overthrown by the newly discovered "hard evidence", and some words can only be determined after years of exploration. The process of creating new words is like "mending the sky", which is a test of people's endurance. Buried in a pile of books all day, it is often the sudden silence in the opposite elementary school that reminds him that another week has passed. In this way, Ma followed the footsteps and thought repeatedly, and created more than 5,000 words, named "Ma Shi Zhong Shan Yin".
At the end of 2008, more than 40 collections of calligraphy works were first published. A more elaborate and complicated "book spectrum" will be published in four drafts. The seal script of Zhongshan, which has been lost for more than 2,300 years, has come to light again, thus officially entering the calligraphy art hall. "Husband and wife * * * inkstone, longevity is boundless!" His wife, Zhang Fang, is modest and quiet, elegant in taste and exquisite in calligraphy, and is known as "Haitang Map". Their husband and wife are "both bosom friends and friends". They care about each other in life and are very picky at work. Nowadays, the children have a successful career, and their two-person world is warm and calm. Zhang Fang recalled, "Teacher Wang often lies prone on the window of the North House, and I doodle on the balcony of the South House. When we cooperate, the two gather in the middle to study. " During the daily "rest", we either play kangqiu in the small living room or go to the small garden where we live. Ma said: A real scholar can't "keep his own place". I advocate a life of "asking for trouble"
