Disciples are teachers and respect each other like fathers; Learn its way, learn its words. ("Mingsha Shishi Ji" is clear. Luo Zhenyu)
In the traditional society of China, "dignity as a teacher" is the creed pursued by academic circles.
A gentleman seeks the Tao but not the food. The teaching of knowledge is measured by morality, not by money. Therefore, the status of teachers has been inviolable since ancient times. "One day as a teacher, life as a father." It is not only a mentoring relationship, but also an unchangeable principle in interpersonal relationships.
However, at the beginning of the Republic of China, in the "high above" art world, there were incidents in which teachers and students turned against each other and turned against each other, which caused a great uproar and became a joke in the streets for a while.
Originated from an article published in1913 on August 9 in Shenbao [confessions of Zhou Xiang]: "Wu Jun (Wu), president of Shanghai Institute of Printing, and your teacher have both been taught in our school, or for two or three months, or for half a year, so I know your teacher's academic qualifications, because the students still fail." ..... set up your college and our school. Like a mistake? Oh! So is the future of education. "
Who is Zhou Xiang?
His hometown, Jiading Huang Du, is the only gateway for Suzhou River to flow into Pujiang, a land of plenty. When Sipin Jingguan's grandfather was born at 187 1, he dreamed that Qu Yuan entered the room with a bamboo tube in his hand. So he said to his family, "This son will be smart, but he is afraid of being blessed and has thin ears." He named him Xiang.
Zhou Xiang is talented, loves painting, has a scholarly family and a "rich second generation" environment, and has developed a temperament of self-promotion and narcissism.
He studied under famous Shanghai painters such as Yang Borun and Qian Huian, and was good at landscape painting and lady painting. His skills in printing and calligraphy are also excellent. When he was young, he was famous in his hometown and was known as a "child prodigy".
1894, the ambitious "Beipiao" capital of Zhouxiang set up a painting and calligraphy stall in Dongdan Hutong (there was no urban management at that time). This place is the only place for public servants to go up and down the court, attracting many melon-eating officials to watch. At that time, assistant minister Xu Yingxun (Jiaxing, Zhejiang) stopped to chat with him out of curiosity, and the two became friends.
Xu Yingxun introduced him to the circle of friends of high-level painting and calligraphy lovers.
The poor visit relatives, while the rich mix circles.
Glory got to know Weng Tonghe, a military affairs minister (from Changshu, Jiangsu), Kang Youwei, Liang Qichao, Tan Sitong and others. The money in his pocket gradually swelled up, and he no longer had to stand in the alley and drink the northwest wind. In his spare time, he often hums Beijing songs and walks in eight hutongs.
After the failure of the Reform Movement of 1898, there was a wave of seizing the "new party" and crowding out southerners in Beijing. Tan Sitong and others were executed on the spot, and Kang Youwei and Liang Qichao also escaped easily. Zhou Xiang, who had something to do with the reformists, was scared out of her wits all day and packed up and fled to Japan.
On the recommendation of Kang Youwei, he changed his name and surname, and went to Europe with a French diplomat passing through Tokyo as the "secretary" of the embassy in China.
Bathed in the wind and rain of Europe, he was extremely happy, eye-opening and aroused the artistic nature in his bones. He visited many famous art galleries, museums and Paris Academy of Fine Arts, and devoted himself to studying, understanding and learning western fine arts.
During his stay in Europe, he married a China girl named Julie and gave birth to a daughter. 1907, due to the death of his brother, he returned to Shanghai alone, leaving his wife and daughter in Europe.
At that time, Shili Yangchang was on the eve of the alternation of old and new.
In view of the experience of making a living in Beijing, Zhou Xiang was so worried that he decided not to mix up with the circle of friends in officialdom. He found that starting a school to recruit apprentices and teach western art was a way to make money, and successively founded the Correspondence School of Chinese and Western Painting, Shanghai Oil Painting Institute and China Art Institute.
Although it is known as the "school", in fact, the principal, the academic director and the teacher are all responsible for it. To put it bluntly, it is still the old routine of the master taking his disciples. Teach photo coloring, charcoal portrait, watercolor painting and other techniques, and follow the gourd painting.
191/kloc-0 founded "Shanghai Background Studio" in Bao 'anli, Baxianqiao. Advertising cloud "specializes in background painting and activity setting construction of French new theater, and graduates in three months."
Wu, Liu Haisu and others are all students of this institute.
19 13, 1 June, 2008, they also established an art school, the so-called "Shanghai Academy of Painting and Fine Arts", which was later called the "Old Shanghai Academy of Fine Arts" in the history of modern art in China.
After only three months of painting, several stunned newborn calves were not afraid of tigers, and even stood up on the other hill to fight against them, which caused the wrath of Teacher Zhou Xiang, so they published the so-called confessions in the newspaper.
Wu He later issued a notice in reply: "(Zhou Xiang's confession) is full of contempt, which deeply shocked all gentlemen in our hospital. Our dean, Wu Jun, is not a painter. The teachers he invited are deeply rooted in painting, and they are not Zhou's younger brother. In addition to serious negotiations with Zhou Xiang, our hospital also issued a statement. "
"Old Shanghai Academy of Fine Arts" has enrolled students since March. Why didn't Zhou Xiang attack until August?
In fact, all this is caused by "Kong Fang brothers" (money). At that time, the cost of a student was probably 24 yuan. Zhou Xiang thought that Wu and Liu couldn't recruit students, and they didn't care too much about their tossing. Who knows that a few months later, all the disciples went to the "Old Shanghai Academy of Fine Arts".
Zhou Xiang's yard is sparsely populated. Why not make him angry?
Subsequently, regardless of the dignity of teachers and students, the two sides tore their faces and repeatedly attacked and abused in the newspaper. For several years, they were angry. Dog bites dog, full of hair. Finally, Shenbao had to solemnly declare that it would never publish articles about them again.
19 19, Liu Haili took the case to court.
With a warm smile on his face, Zhou Xiang tried to reconcile out of court, but failed. The court found Zhou Xiang guilty of "libel" and compensated the plaintiff 1 000 yuan. This is not a small sum. At that time, 200 silver dollars could buy a life in Shanghai.
One day, Zhou Xiang was blindfolded in an alley, beaten and broke two ribs.
This struggle between teachers and students represents the contradiction between the old and the new, and also reflects the different personality characteristics of the second generation. Zhou Xiang is pedantic and narrow-minded; And Liu Haisu is smart and good at dancing; There is a clear difference between the two.
After the arrival of the new century, a man claimed to be the grandson of Zhou Xiang, and wrote an article to expose that Liu Haisu was a "foreign hooligan", lawless, deceiving his teachers and destroying his ancestors. He not only raped Sun Jingan, a beautiful young mistress (Glory's concubine) many times, made her pregnant and gave birth to an illegitimate child, but also hooked up with Sun Jingan's escort maid Shu Sun.
Which is true or false, confusing, not as good as unofficial history.
But in Liu Haisu's conversation in his later years, his memory of Sun Jing 'an is: "He is beautiful, tall, with white skin and a nice voice. Oh-round and sweet, wonderful! " I can't hide my praise, which is intriguing.
/kloc-in the spring of 0/923, Zhou Xiang and his wife Sun Jing 'an left Shili Yangchang with gloomy feelings and returned to the ancient town of Huang Du, Jiading.
In his later years, Zhou Xiang lived in poverty and was riddled with diseases. He often talks to himself, is depressed and almost burns all his works. 1933, Zhou Xiang died at the age of 62 and refused to close his eyes. 196 1 year, Sun Jingan starved to death in three years of natural disasters.
As time goes by, the past is like smoke.
A feud between teachers and students that was once incompatible and sensational on the beach has long been submerged in the dust of history.
