When it comes to Ye's book collection, he is called the first book collector in Hunan, and the exquisite version is Xiang Guan. For example, Ye's collection of the Song Dynasty clay edition "Wei Suzhou Collection" (actually a movable type edition), and his bibliography. With the revival of Xiang Army, Hunan became an important traditional cultural center in China in the late Qing Dynasty, and Tongcheng School moved from Anhui to Hunan, which seemed to form the cultural revival of Xiang Army. In this humanistic tradition, Ye Dehui ranks first among Hunan bibliophiles, which is unique. Song Li Building was bought by the Japanese at a low price, and the ancient books in the south of the Yangtze River were empty. This is a painful history of China's book circle. Yuan Tongli, a former professor in Tsinghua University, listed Ye Dehui as the last generation of bibliophiles in the Qing Dynasty, and hoped: "We are bibliophiles, and we hope it will remain the old capital for a long time." This last hope will also become a sigh. He wrote: "After Ye died, he used his house as a library and later returned it. However, the loss was ignored. "
In theory, he spared no effort to criticize Ye. When Mu Ye died, Yang Yi said, "Jia Er is sincere and knowledgeable, but unlike my family, she only talks about love affairs, not literature." Ye Dehui's "Lin Shu Hua Qing" is an ancient version of this book, which was engraved in the Song and Yuan Dynasties. It makes up for what Ye has never seen since he was a child, grasps the problem of imprecise wording of Ye's theory from a big aspect, almost completely overturns the knowledge accumulated in his life, and asserts that "those who specialize in edition are useless in learning". He also said to Ye's General Theory of Confucian Classics: "Fortunately, no one has read it, otherwise it will delay future generations." Ye Dehui's son seems to be stronger than the descendants of Song Lou, and he is willing to build it, but his manpower will eventually be defeated by fate. He summed up the dispute between his fathers: "My father wrote books, which is very different from Bai Xin (Yang Jun). Father only collects the opinions of predecessors and does not argue about right or wrong. Bai Xin's opinion is too deep and suddenly arbitrary. " Perhaps it is an inappropriate metaphor, just like Zhuangzi and Hui Shi's repeated refutation. Without Ye Dehui, Yang Jun might feel lonely.
Some people say that Yang Jun's "shanzhai spirit" is rare, which can be proved from a subtle point. Compared with those rumors, Yang Jun accurately recorded the anniversary of Ye Dehui's death in his book: it was inscribed on1March 927 10. There is nothing to say about Ye Dehui's death, but soon the news that Wang Guowei, a great scholar, drowned himself in Kunming Lake came from the far north, and Wang Guowei's suicide became a mystery in the cultural history of China. There was a lot of discussion at that time. Chen Yinque wrote in 1953 12 1 that "Wang Guowei's death has nothing to do with Luo Zhenyu's resentment (as Zhou Zuoren said) or the demise of the Qing Dynasty". Li Qingzhao's "Memories of Playing the Flute on Phoenix Platform" said: "Newcomers are thin, don't drink, and don't grieve for autumn." Qian Zhongshu came up with this sentence in "The Cone of the Tube", which is called "Two don't make one". There is another saying that Wang committed suicide and was killed because of Ye. This is not groundless. On the same day, Yang Jun was also arrested and questioned by the peasant association. He wrote afterwards: "At that time, not only could you not save Ye, but you could not save yourself, and you could not commit suicide." This sentence is like an invisible line, which binds the fate of three people together. These are just Yang Jun's words. It is still a generation of historian Chen Yinque who broke the insistence of others and gained the "fish" of historical rationality. In Wan Guowei's inscription, he issued a voice that made him want to be deaf: "When the value of a culture declines, people who are transformed by this culture will feel pain, and the greater the procedure for expressing this culture, the greater the pain." This sentence has also become a portrayal of Chen Yinque's own life.
Ye Dehui, no matter how to comment, this man will always be a version cataloger, bibliophile and engraver at least. But this man seems to have been forgotten for many years. It is said that 1957 Ancient Books Publishing House reprinted his book Lin Shu Hua Qing. Probably related to "early spring weather". Mr. Lu Xun mentioned Ye's collection of ancient books more than once in his early years. The Complete Works of Lu Xun (198 1 edition) has four notes. Two said he was from Xiangtan and two said he was from Changsha, both of which were good. At present, the leaf version of the "Double Meiying Series" has been listed. Photocopying and typesetting are combined into a thick book, which is read directly from right to left and then read back from left to right. Based on modernity, full of homesickness, market operation and cultural interest. Wonderful! It is not too much to copy the original engraving and call it drawing review. Ye, the real name garden. Chi, Xu Shen's hometown, shows his ambition. Such a person's fame and career, little to no, probably related to his death. Shuangmeiying series. Gao Luopei, a Dutch sinologist, quoted Five Books in the Room (Sutra of Plain Woman, Sutra of Plain Woman, Tips of Jade House, Guide to Jade House and Zi Xuan Cave) in his series. After briefly introducing the collation of Ye Wen Ji, he pointed out: "Your book proves that he is a learned and rigorous scholar. This can also be confirmed by his handling of these five books. " By the way, speaking of his death, he said that the publication of the series "greatly angered the old-school literati at that time and made his scholars famous." He is too unlucky; Even being killed by gangsters failed to arouse any sympathy. "Whether' compassion' depends on opinions and positions cannot be generalized." Sweeping the floor to the best "may be too serious." Gangster killing "is quite different from our concept, which is difficult to agree with and must be clarified." Therefore, the translator complied with the national conditions and public opinion, especially adding: "Ye Yu was executed as a' counter-revolutionary' by the revolutionary masses in Changsha on 1927". This still seems too simple. Young people in the new era do not know exactly, which may lead to ambiguity; It is outrageous to think that such a series of books have become "counter-revolutionaries" who have been executed.
The revolutionary masses executed "counter-revolutionaries" with "monks holding umbrellas". But it's like taking something out of a bag. An old story should be rough rather than fine. It seems that Ye Dehui is knowledgeable, but his consistent performance is really bad. According to his life, he seems to be a professional "reactionary" who moves against the historical trend: attacking the Reform Movement of 1898 of Hunan Current Affairs School founded by Liang Qichao; Write a book to criticize Kang Youwei. Don Cai Chang, a native of Hunan, failed to fight against Qing Dynasty in Hubei. He even compiled "Jue Fan Yao Lu", thinking that "the Kang Liang case has been decided". 19 1 1 Hunan became independent, and Tang Mang, the son of Tang Dynasty, was appointed as the military and political minister of Hunan's viceroy. He suspected that Tang's murder was related, so he arrested Ye and released him. Later, he acclaimed Yuan Shikai as the emperor, and set up the Hunan branch of the "Security Council" as its president, petitioning for "surrender". In fact, this royal fan has suffered from the "emperor" in the late Qing Dynasty. 19l0, he took advantage of the flood in Hunan to make the victims rob rice. At this time, the Qing dynasty itself was in danger, and it was angry at the civilians and "cut off" the "Jinshi". Fame, face, all lost. The following year, its "spiritual home" declined in the Qing Dynasty. As long as there is no gentleman, you will feel like a lost dog, and "ultimate care" will come to Yuan Datou. These granite heads were smashed in 1927 when the revolutionary tide was repeated, which was also lucky and fatal. What's more, this person "jumped out" by himself, and the so-called "destiny takes a hand" deserved it.
Speaking of the direct cause of Ye Dehui's "execution", the historical weathering and the indignation of the scribes are full of rhyme and ambiguity. At that time, "all power belongs to the peasant associations", and Ye Dehui was the president of Changsha General Chamber of Commerce. Probably keeping a low profile, "performance" is acceptable. I don't know when the festival is, the "peasant association" asked the famous person to write a couplet. Maybe it's the devil, mostly because of the "climate", and the bones grow in the throat. Today, Ye Jinshi wrote with a stroke of his hand: "The agricultural transportation is developed, a group of rice, wheat and millet hybrids are expanding, and the field is full of horses, cattle, sheep, chickens and dogs." The banner is: Bin Jian Ka Jing (Changsha dialect). It means no culture, no power, no small scale, no access, no humanity, no ghosts. This sentence was heard by Zhu Zheng, a teacher of Hunan Literature and Art Publishing House. Zhu Lao Yan Hua commented: "I want to die myself!" It is also a good "horizontal batch". Ye was 63 years old at that time; Today is a day in Japan, 1927 April 1 1. With a little push, this day is full of historical significance, which makes future generations feel puzzled: Is there a destiny in the world?
In the last eight years, The Complete Book of the Garden was published by his family. It is understood that the "Guangutang" of Shi Ye Library in Pozi Street in Changsha has a collection of block-printed and unpublished editions of Quanshu. 1938 "Wenxi" fire, crash and burn. Most books were bought and plundered by the Japanese and scattered in other countries. Mr. Wang prefaced The Complete Book of Gardens in the Garden, which was highly valued by Ye. Teacher Yang is strict with his study and doesn't let others easily. For example, Sun Yirang and Wang Guowei, who are the most respectful to them, also "have doubts from time to time, but they have not given gamma ratio". Another example is that he misses his grandson and quotes the words that the father and son call themselves "Private Shu Wang". "I have collated Han Shu and Huainan, and I have collated many things in Gaoyou", which really has the atmosphere of "I love my teacher and love the truth more". As for the next paragraph, it can be seen that Mr. Yang is academically upright. One is the style of one school, and the other is the style of two schools: "Tang Guo has a profound knowledge of God, and he has many original opinions. Those who care for him are above Qingyun, and those who care for him are below nine. It's like a brave general who likes to fall into a trap. Every time he sees outstanding achievements, he is always at a loss. It is difficult for the industry to establish a unified system, but the language is fluent, not for the hills, but for flaws. " I agree with Guo's research, but what people think is just a matter of opinion and well-meaning words, which should not be misunderstood, but it is likely to be "misunderstood" in the end. This is beside the point. Inscription: Yang Zhi's Preface to Leaves is also a love story, which is easily misunderstood as the ancient tomb of admiration. Today's eulogy and the perfect person after death seem to be difficult to relate to Ye's reaction mentioned above. This is probably because Ye's life is not far away, and he is notorious, and there are still survivors who are familiar with him. Reading the novel Zeng Guofan or the Complete Works of Zeng Guofan is different. Few people know or care about the folk nickname "Zeng Zheng Wengong". As for Li Houzhu, where a river flows eastward, and Song Huizong, who is skinny, people only appreciate good words and books and are corrupt and reactionary "kings of national subjugation". What does it have to do with Yiwu, Er Ru? This is not entirely because of "getting the moon first by being close to the water", but mainly because of their evil moral crimes. Today, people have not suffered from it, and of course there is no skin pain. Therefore, at most, they will pay attention to it as a history teaching continent and forget the old evils. However, the "heritage" they created or handed down in the form of culture still flows in the "reality", living with today's people, and with its wisdom and beautiful charm, it has reversed all generations of sentient beings. If these heritages are "material", they are mostly "spiritual"; Even "matter" has been sublimated into "spirit". Specific to Ye Dehui (and Zhou Zuoren and other figures), he will, after all, enter "A Life in a Throat". Ye's "Guangutang" has a collection of more than 200,000 volumes, which was once known as "rich at home and abroad". Scholars are cynical. Self-expansion, "Changsha Xiangtan ticket", thinking that "helping the world at the same time" is enough, but actually I don't know the general idea. Gladiators are against the historical trend and should be considered as overreaching and hateful. Big waves wash sand and the dust settles. It seems that we can calmly read the preface written by Yang Shuda in 1935 for the Complete Book of Gion.
At the beginning of Yang's Preface, Ye's academic articles are placed in the background of the success of Xiang Army in the late Qing Dynasty, telling the true story, outlining and positioning it. Academic events are as despicable as me. I don't know the height, so I can only copy it: "My teacher, Mr. Xiangtan, went to court in his early years and belonged to Li, but Dumen swept it away and described it as smug. At that time, there were Mr. Wei Chi, assistant minister of Xiangyin, Mr. Xiang Qi from Xiangtan, Mr. Wang Xiaolian and Mr. Wang Kuiyuan from Changsha, all of whom were top scholars in the altar. Mr. Wang is proud of the elderly; There are different clan styles. As far as the valley of offering wine is concerned, it becomes a virtue. Seeing that Mr. Wang was willing to try, he clapped his hands and cheered, forgetting his age and casting first. It is said that he studied Jiangnan in the past and continued Yizheng Ruan's warp knitting. Jiang Wan, an old man in Anhui, was humble and ashamed and resisted his hand. Now that he has my son, Hunan is lucky to learn from him! Reading "Wine Sacrifice Magazine" and writing "Shi Shuo" in his spare time, Mr. Yuan made a mistake and asked for a copy. The stone tablet was re-carved. He is like Guan Dongban's history, recording fine words and compiling parallel prose; There is too much capital to attack mistakes. Words must be done, learning from forests and learning from fish, and those who know it are beautiful. " Of course, Guo Songtao, Wang Kaiyun and Wang Xianqian were the leaders of Xiang Army in the late Qing Dynasty. Ye Dehui, who is twenty years younger than them, is a rising star in Ran Ran. What can be added is that Guo Songtao and Wang Xianqian both entered Zeng Guofan's scene in their early years, and the civil and military "Xiang Army" is inextricably linked. Guo became a famous diplomat in the late Qing Dynasty, and he was a man who looked at the world with his eyes open. Wang Xianqian is a fan of emperors. Pai Kang Liang and Yuan Shi are in the same trench. But he left ten years earlier, and if he had lived to the 1920s, the outcome would have been equally bad. Probably because he "died" early, so he was "liberated" early; In the 1980s, his Supplementary Notes on Hanshu and Zhuangzi Collection were reprinted one after another. The book before the publication is "the best annotation of Hanshu at present" and "a necessary book for studying the history of the Western Han Dynasty"; The latter book is "a must-read for those who study Zhuangzi since this century"; Here, history once again shows its tolerance and rationality. Yang Xu's remarks on "the history of governing the East Class"; Sure enough, as he expected, Wang Xianqian's Supplement to Hanshu, in the name of "subscribing to surnames at the same time", impressively wrote "Ye Dehui is the first official department of Hunan Xiangtan Jinshi". After enumerating Ye's achievements in history, art and literature, Mr. Yang made the following conclusion: "As the saying goes, taste classics, live a clear life, and have a gentleman at the end of the year; Once you enter the temple, you can manage it at first, ashamed of its rich and harmonious nature, as deep as Xizhuang, but not particularly harmonious. Believe in learning Lin's great cause and be a great scholar. "I don't know whether I should support this argument. Besides, we should wait for the scholars in charge of the history of the book industry of Hunan Edition and the history of Huxiang culture to check and sort out before commenting.
The story of Ye Dehui's death in Liaodong poetry circles, the bookstore has published articles such as "The Death of Ye Dehui" and "Right and Wrong of Ye Dehui", which gives people profound inspiration, but also leaves some regrets. Now I will disclose some historical materials I found as follows, which may make up for the shortcomings of the first two articles.
Liaodong Poetry was founded in 1924 10. The editor-in-chief is Japanese Makiko Tanaka (word Huaihai), a monthly magazine with 32 issues. Poets include Chen, Wang Guowei, Kang Youwei, Liang Qichao, Zhang Taiyan and painters. On June 6th, 1925, a column of "Introduction to Writing" was opened. The first article is Ye Dehui's Textual Research on Reading Ruozi, written by Japanese sinologist Kazuo Matsuzaki (1867 ~ 1949). Kazuo Matsuzaki went to Changsha to worship Ye Dehui as a teacher on 19 10, and has been working in Dalian Library of Manchuria Railway since 1920.
Ye Dehui was killed in Changsha on April 1927. Kazuo Matsuzaki immediately wrote a Brief Introduction to Ye Dehui, which was published in the 23rd issue of Liaodong Poetry Journal (1927 May), and the 24th issue also published the news of Ye Huan Garden's death. These two articles are of great benefit to the study of Ye Dehui, but Ignorant-Liaodong Poetry has been handed down from ancient times, so it is copied here.
