Most of Mr. Zheng's early works are written in classical Chinese, which is concise, implicit and full of charm.

Selected readings of works
Lin Yi Ye San:
kang youwei
1. Kang Youwei said: Su Dongpo is the worst calligrapher in ancient and modern times and can't use a pen. If he learns from me, he should be responsible for forty tricks.
Kang Youwei lives in Penang. His room is a big pavilion, surrounded by flowers and trees. There is a big tree that looks like a banyan tree and has been in bloom for several years. It is yellow and colorful, and the only day is coming. Kang named it Huang Yitian. There is a saying: "Yesterday opened, today fell, poor is short, rich is prosperous."
3. Kang Youwei's eight-part essay is good, and some people call him a saint of eight-part essay. Later, I went to stereotyped writing, but I pretended to be a saint with a long name.
4. Kang Youwei went to the Ministry of Rites for an exam, and the topic was "Being a Benevolent Man and Saying that Confucius was Great". Kang's conclusion is: Confucius is great, but who knows that after so many times, someone will be greater than Confucius! This is a hidden situation.
liang qichao
1. Liang Qichao talked about his interest in learning at Nanjing Southeast University, and he said: I am an interesting person. If I divide Liang Qichao by chemistry and extract a real interest from it, I'm afraid there will be only zero left.
2. Liang Qichao was the first China scholar who mentioned Marx in his works. 1902, Liang signed Xinmin, China, wrote the theory of moral abstinence of evolutionary revolutionaries, and published Xinmin Cong BaoNo. 18, which involved Marx, but Marx translated it into Michaels.
3. Liang Rengong claims that he is an indispensable person in China now. You said: In a few years, whether China dies or not, the whole country will think of me.
Liang Qichao calls himself a nerd, saying that nerds are often used.
5. Liang Qichao and Ceng Yun: Speaking of beauty, it is really a shame in the literary world. I hope that when writers describe women in the future, the most important thing is to restore the beauty's health.
6. Liang Qichao attached great importance to Huang Zunxian's poems, so he was called one of the poets' revolutions.
Zheng's reading method
Zheng believes that there are two main ways to learn, namely "in class" and "outside class". He himself belongs to the latter. He said: "The predecessors valued basic skills, so parents and teachers urged their disciples to read classic works and recite famous works of all ages to enrich their English." During this period, I am not allowed to read so-called' leisure books' to avoid distracting my attention. Until the arts and sciences are well understood, I can dabble in novels about the history of the country and get interested. This kind of reading belongs to' grading in the room'. However, the reading method of From the Outside to the Inside is "from shallow to deep _ step by step, starting with interesting novels about Fujian history and essays with strong flavor of the times, and then reading essays in the Qing Dynasty and the late Ming Dynasty _ backtracking Yuan Qu, Song Ci, Tang Poetry and Chinese articles, as well as Zuo Zhuan, Li Sao, The Book of Songs and Shangshu, all of which we should study.
After comparing the two, Zheng commented: "the depth of bacon and the solid planting foundation are that the former is better than the latter;" As for the difficulty of understanding and the speed of progress, the latter is better than the former. Each has its advantages and disadvantages, and it is difficult to draw conclusions. " When talking about his reading methods, Zheng said that he was not interested in reading training books, the golden mean of universities and private schools.
Later, when I was enjoying the cool air, I heard that the Romance of the Three Kingdoms was attracted, but I changed from attending classes to reading by myself, and gradually changed from a little knowledge to knowing its ending. "At that time, I thought reading was a chore, but once I changed it, I felt endless." Eventually become everyone, Yun _ so, and become a generation of famous writers.
King bubai
Zheng is an out-and-out "gossip master", who wrote essays and anecdotes for newspaper supplements all his life, reaching more than 654.38+million words, and was called "the king of filling in the blanks". He has worked in publishing since middle school. He used to be a special contributor to Shen Bao, News and Time. He has a deep friendship with those publishing giants and famous writers, and the inside story of publishing from his mouth is naturally the most authoritative. Gossip in the publishing industry, you can go to "books and newspapers to talk about the past", in this article we will talk about Zheng's own gossip.
Zheng Ben, whose surname is Ju, changed his pen name because of his passion for plum blossoms. It is said that the first book he bought after enlightenment at that time was "Wu Meicun Ci", which was a printed version of the wild house. Zheng didn't know it at first, and he had never heard of it. But when he saw the word "Mei" in the title, he immediately decided that it was a good book and bought it at once. In fact, he was only a middle school student at that time, and the economy was not affluent, so he really couldn't afford any books. Fortunately, my academic performance is excellent, and I can be among the best in every exam. There is no scholarship in the school, so I use "book coupons" instead. Zheng bought the Novel Monthly edited by Wang with a book coupon, read it repeatedly, tried to write prose, and finally gradually entered the literary world. His first book was called Plum Petals Collection.
Zheng is no exception. He named his study "paper account copper bottle room". This name looks strange. Zheng explained that there are many descriptions of paper accounts and copper bottles in ancient poems. It would be vulgar to embed the word "Mei" directly in the name. He is now named "paper account copper bottle house", which means "hidden spring scenery" It is really original. But later, he got the seal of "Qiu Zhi Room" carved by Chen Mingwu, a young seal engraver, and he couldn't put it down. Since then, the "paper account copper bottle room" has been renamed as "Qiu Zhi room". Someone once asked him, what does Qiu Zhi's room mean? He replied that knowledge stinks when people are ignorant in autumn.
This shows Zheng's humorous interest. By his own admission, he has never been interested in practicing basic skills in a down-to-earth manner since he studied Confucian classics in primary school. However, he has an unusual interest in novels and notes. I like reading Flower and Moon Scar, Dream of Red Mansions and Romance of the Three Kingdoms best, but I don't like Water Margin, Flowers in the Mirror and The Scholars best. In order to study all kinds of stories in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, he also wrote a special book Gossip of the Three Kingdoms, which was very popular with readers. This kind of magnanimity is rare among modern literati.
His good friend Gao Chuiwan, a poet from Nanshe, once wrote a couplet for him, which was as beautiful as a chrysanthemum. Tastes better than plums. Chrysanthemum is homophonic with his real name "Chrysanthemum", and the bottom line is embedded in his pen name. It is most appropriate to summarize Zheng's life with these two couplets.
