Father in Xiao Difei's son's eyes

My father proudly said in a speech at the celebration that Mr. Wen Yiduo, Mr. Lao She and Mr. Hua were all self-taught: "Speaking of myself, I have the strength to go my own way!"

My father's original name was Lin Zhong. 190765438+1October1kloc-0/was born in a poor scholar family in Chaxi Village, Linchuan County, Jiangxi Province. Ranked third. My grandfather's name is Chuxue. He is called Mr. Gu Qing. He can solve problems for people. Grandma Yang gave birth to three sons and two daughters. His father lost his mother when he was less than one year old, and he became an orphan when he was 10. The only warmth in this miserable childhood has become the source of endless homesickness in his life.

Before that, he studied in Sanyi Primary School, which was founded by my grandfather in Murakami. Sometimes he would herd cattle and climb loose wool to witness the sufferings of farmers. At that time, most of the books I read were The Analects of Confucius and Mencius, and the method was the same as rote learning. The father said: "This also has certain benefits. Some useful aphorisms, although not understood at that time, will be understood with age and will affect behavior. " However, what impressed him the most was the folk song "Burning Heart in the Hot Sun" sung by Bai Sheng in "Water Margin" and "Chedian" which reflected people's sufferings in Du Fu's "Three Hundred Tang Poems". All these have played a positive role in promoting his father's life. Since then, my father has been transferred to other places with my uncle. 65438-0920 From Kaifeng Beicang Primary School, he was admitted to Kaifeng Preparatory School for Studying in the United States (now Henan University). Two years later, he transferred to Nanchang Xinyuan Middle School, where he studied with Wu. At this time, my uncle often takes some books without punctuation marks for my father to "chew", and my father will never forget the joys and sorrows. The painstaking efforts at home can also be imagined. Linchuan is the hometown of talented people. In the early Tang Dynasty, Wang Bo praised it as "the pen that illuminates Linchuan". These let my father use it to encourage himself and study hard since he was a child.

1926 My father is 20 years old. From Nanjing No.1 Middle School in Jiangsu Province, he was admitted to two famous schools in Tsinghua and Southeast China (that is, post-Central China). Thanks to his uncle's support and admiration for Liang Qichao's name, he joined the Chinese Department of Tsinghua University. During his seven years in Tsinghua, my father was deeply taught by Mr. Huang Jie. 1930 graduated from university, and wrote the thesis "Selected Poems of Past Dynasties". Looking at all the poems reflecting social reality and people's livelihood from The Book of Songs to Huang Zunxian in the late Qing Dynasty, Du Fu is the best in this respect. In addition, he carefully compiled and published Mr. Huang's Notes on Three Poems by Cao Zhi, Ruan Ji and Xie Lingyun. Because the average total score in four years is above 80%, I was admitted to Tsinghua Research Institute without any test and received 30 yuan allowance every month. Mr. Huang Jie, the tutor, was the first person to talk about Yuefu in the university, and guided his father to finish his graduation thesis "The History of Yuefu Literature in the Han, Wei and Six Dynasties". Because of his best grades, Tsinghua Alumni Association also gave him a bronze ink cartridge engraved with the word "No.1 scholar".

It is worth mentioning that the Tsinghua Alumni Newsletter published in 1935 records: "Xiao Difei is a famous football player in North China". At that time, his name was in the newspaper in Beiping. His Tsinghua record 1 1 sec 1 was kept until after liberation.

1933 On the recommendation of Mr. Huang, my father went to Qingdao National Shandong University as a full-time lecturer in the Chinese Department. The first course he taught was Selected Works, a compulsory course for the fourth grade. He was 27 years old this year, and the famous poet Cang Kejia was an older student at that time. From 65438 to 0935, Mr. Huang died of illness in Beiping, and his father went all the way to attend the funeral. He was seriously ill and cried with poetry. My father has a great sense of justice. He once ventured to help the underground party member in Jinan Prison. /kloc-in the autumn of 0/936, Shanda changed the principal and his father was dismissed. Get married while you are young. Mother Huang Jianfen, a native of Wuning, Jiangxi Province, was born in a tea merchant family on May 19 16, 2007, and is the niece of the famous patriotic general Li Liejun. At this time, I studied in Shanda University and have been with you for 53 years. At that time, because I couldn't afford guests, I had to send invitations before boarding the train. Mr. Lao She heard the news and sent his newly published biography of Niu Tianci as a souvenir.

After that, my father stayed in Sichuan University for five years. 194 1 was suddenly dismissed for refusing to join the Kuomintang. The whole family was trapped under Mount Emei. Fortunately, an old classmate wrote that Mr. Wen Yiduo wanted him to go to The National SouthWest Associated University, Kunming, and another old friend, Mr. Huang, telegraphed the fare from Hong Kong, which gave him a way out. Five years in Kunming, life is also extremely difficult. My father once sold beloved books and taught junior college, middle school and even primary school. He works hard and can't feed and clothe his family. I even promised to give up an unborn sister, so my father wrote a grief-stricken poem "Morning Rest". Nevertheless, my father insisted on studying. 1943, his History of Yuefu Literature in the Han, Wei and Six Dynasties was finally published, and a series of essays were also published. 1945 12 1, a patriotic and democratic movement broke out in Kunming. When his father's student Pan Yan was killed, he was furious and wrote two songs, Crying Pan Yanjun. After it was published, it was threatened and warned by reactionaries because of the sentence "The sky was red with blood". Reality made my father sing to Du Fu's poems. /kloc-returned to Shanda in 0/947, and started the course of Du's topic in the second year, and printed hundreds of thousands of words of handouts. (Comrade Li Xifan attended)

195 1 year, my father took the initiative to study in North China People's Revolutionary University, and really found the correct theory and method of academic research. When I graduated, I wrote a poem, saying, "Scrap iron can turn war into friendship, and the furnace is full of gods. I will serve the people forever from now on. " This is his truth. Since then, his academic research has entered a bumper harvest period. He has published Du Fu Studies, Three Notes on Reading Poems, Jiefang Ji, and a collation of Approval Zi Ju. From 196 1 to 1963, he edited the History of China Literature together with You Guoen, Wang Qi, Ji Zhenhuai and Fei Zhengang, and wrote a series of articles commemorating Du Fu's birthday1250th anniversary, such as Du Fu, a People's Poet. 1964 With the encouragement of the Party organization, he gave a lecture on "Poems of Chairman Mao" and published an appreciation article. There is no lack of accurate insights.

During the "Cultural Revolution", my father was also falsely accused of being a "reactionary academic authority", and Du Fu's studies were classified as "poisonous weeds". To this end, he vowed not to talk about Du Fu's poems. However, when Lao Guo criticized him by name in his book Li Bai and Du Fu (1972), he confidently answered the questions raised by his classmates. Although the atmosphere was abnormal at that time, the critics did not have the right to reply publicly as usual. 1975 asked him to write an article about Liu Yuxi, which was the only one published in ten years. Relatives and friends who have been afraid to have a word with each other for many years, seeing his "appearance", have written to celebrate his birthday. In fact, he was seriously ill many times, thanks to the secret help of some kind people.

After ten years of catastrophe, my father was an old man who was "completely deaf in teeth" and "walked slowly with bamboo poles" but remained enthusiastic about his work. From 65438 to 0978, he was commissioned by People's Literature Publishing House to edit the Collation of Du Fu's Complete Works, and set up a collating team, inviting Professor Liao Zhongan as the deputy editor. While extensively accumulating information, he led a group of Wan Li people to visit Du Fu's legacy. The important data of 198 1 year are basically available. 1984 hosted a sample discussion with famous scholars at home and abroad in Gongxian. The poem "Re-narrating Mangshan Shaoling" is the first time that he affirmed that Du Fuzhen's tomb is in Mangshan and has been engraved in Du Fu's cemetery. At the same time, inspired by the spirit of the Third Plenary Session of the Party, he resolutely published a long article about Li Bai and Du Fu and nearly 30 other articles, and revised and published the old books.

My father has been teaching for nearly 60 years, and peaches and plums are all over the world and are highly respected. His teaching focuses on man's backbone, and his poem "Knowing that the road ahead is full of thorns, we should avoid hunger and drive away talents" contains this intention. He is even more pregnant with the painstaking efforts of "only making one eye see and spare no effort to live raspberry moss". /kloc-When New China was founded in 0/7, he and Feng, Lu and Gao were called "four pillars" of Chinese Department. He has been standing in the front line of teaching, not only teaching undergraduates, but also tutoring senior teachers, graduate students and international students, and has never taken a vacation. It has cultivate that pillars of a large numb of countries such as Xiang Huaicheng. His tireless teaching enthusiasm and meticulous attitude are highly praised by students. He said, "If I fail a course, I can't eat or sleep well." In the new era, my father is over 80 years old, and he is still committed to the cultivation of young and middle-aged scholars and graduate students, writing a preface, and cultivating the first batch of five masters and two doctors majoring in classical literature in China. And accept the arrangement of the State Education Commission to guide American advanced students. For their improvement and development after graduation, my father continued to give necessary guidance and help. In addition, my father also wrote for the radio station, tried to answer letters from all walks of life in person, and gave guidance to Chinese teaching in middle schools. No wonder some old students call him "Du Fu of the 20th century", while American and Japanese scholars consider him "a great sinologist".

Father has worked hard for decades, and the party and the people have not forgotten him. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, he served as deputy provost of Shandong University, director of the Chinese Department and director of the teaching and research section of classical literature. Deputy Director of Academic and Academic Degrees Committee, Director of Liberal Arts Committee, Deputy Director of Editorial Committee of Literature, History and Philosophy, Deputy Director of Institute of Ancient Books Arrangement, Honorary Director of Institute of Literature, History and Philosophy, Doctoral Supervisor, Editor-in-Chief of Annotation of Du Fu's Complete Works, etc. He is also a representative of the Third National People's Congress, a member of the Fifth and Sixth China People's Political Consultative Conference, a member of the first discipline evaluation group of the State Council Academic Degrees Committee, a member of the planning group of the State Council ancient books collation and publication, a member of the Central Cultural Committee of the NLD, the first president of the China Tang Dynasty Literature Society, the editorial board of the Encyclopedia of China (China Literature Volume), the editorial board of Guangming Daily, a representative of Shandong Provincial People's Congress, the vice chairman of the Provincial Federation of Literary and Art Circles, and the president of the Provincial Classical Literature Research Association. Won the title of outstanding social science worker in Shandong Province. 1July, 990, the State Council decided to grant him the first batch of special government allowances in recognition of his outstanding contribution to the development of scientific research in China. 1991April 5, 2005 15, my father died of illness. The academic circles were shocked and exclaimed that "there are not many scholars like Mr. Wang", which was highly praised by the party, the country and the people. There is a saying: "Mr. Xiao is a contemporary Du Fu, a master figure in the new period." Mr. Lu Xun once said: "As long as you tell the truth, it is fair." My father wrote in the poem "History of Yuefu Literature in the Han, Wei and Six Dynasties": "Ten years ago, it was finalized. Although it is not the beginning, blue light is written like a bean. " In fact, most of his works have gone through such a process of painstaking research and repeated tempering. Father's scholarship can be roughly bounded by 1949. In the early stage, Yuefu and Ci were the main poems, and in the later stage, Du Fu and Tang Poetry were the main poems. His works also focus on these aspects.

(1) The History of Yuefu Literature in the Han, Wei and Six Dynasties was published by China Cultural Service 1943 and reprinted by People's Literature Publishing House 1984. It has been printed many times so far. Graduation thesis of former Tsinghua Research Institute 1933. The main feature is to explain the realistic spirit of the folk songs of Han Yuefu, that is, "all people feel sad and happy because of something" and "seek the details of the work itself and its background", so that readers can understand the social and political situation of Yuefu by understanding the gains and losses of an era. In writing, "reading in narrative", all the cited works belong to the whole article, which is very different from the summary method of the previous general introduction. Mr. Huang Jie has written more than 2,000 words of comments, which must be well prepared. He thinks that "superiority is necessary" has won great attention from the academic circles since its publication. It can be concluded that "achievements are better than previous works", "Five words are insightful if they come from Yuefu folk songs in the Western Han Dynasty" and "Mulan poems are works of the Northern Dynasties". (Wang Yunxi) However, today's Yuefu research is a view of "giving up the sound and seeking justice", which is also called "knowing people is enough to inspire the deaf" (Qian Zhonglian). Today, it can be regarded as "the best general history of Yuefu literature" (literature book window).

(2) The Study of Du Fu was published in two volumes by Shandong People's Publishing House 1955, in a bound volume by 1959, and in a revised edition by Qilu Bookstore 1980. This book is a groundbreaking work based on Du Fu's Poems and Style Lectures, trying to re-study Du Fu's poems by applying Marxism-Leninism and Mao Zedong Thought. This paper systematically discusses Du Fu's times, life, thoughts, influences and works, and points out that Du Fu's greatness comes from the people, whose blood and tears watered Du Fu's garden. Du Fu was able to break through Confucianism in some aspects, mainly because his life practice was close to the people and so on, which was particularly unique. At the same time, in view of the bias of only talking about the ideological content of the works at that time, not talking about or talking less about the artistry, a chapter was specially set up to analyze the artistry of Du Fu's poems with a large space. The book always follows the two principles of "seeking truth from facts" and "knowing people and discussing the world". Articles about Li Bai and Du Fu, that is, their obvious examples, were reprinted in Xinhua Monthly after the publication of Wen Shizhe, which caused great repercussions at home and abroad. The creative achievements of this book have had a wide and far-reaching influence in academic circles and enjoyed a high reputation. Being promoted to "the masterpiece of Du Fu's research field in the 30 years since the founding of New China" represents the highest achievement of academic circles in trying to study Du Fu and his poems from the perspective of historical materialism (Academic Monthly), which still has guiding significance for our contemporary scholars (Fu Xuanyan).

(3) Notes on Selected Poems of Du Fu 1979 People's Literature Publishing House, and popular edition 1983 Shanghai Ancient Books Publishing House. Up to now, hundreds of thousands of copies have been printed. This book was originally the second volume of Du Fu Studies, with 28 1 Du Fu poems selected by * *. According to the poet's life experience, it can be divided into four periods: "reading and traveling, being trapped in Chang 'an, being trapped in Anshi rebellion, and being an official southwest". Each issue is preceded by an overview of the writing situation and the characteristics of the works in this period. The catalogue also indicates the style of each poem to highlight Du Fu's expertise in various poetic styles. One of the great advantages of this book's annotation is that it uses the method of "explaining Du with Du", that is, it says, "Don't intimidate Du and me, but give Du with Du". Strive to achieve the "three considerations" that Mr. Lu Xun said. "These are original. Commentators believe that "there are not many annotation sentences, which are concise and clean and to the point." (Cang Kejia), "widely praised as one of the best annotated works of Du Fu's poems in China" (Wen Shizhe). 200 1 The Ministry of Education listed it as a designated bibliography as one of the assessment contents of the main courses. In 2002, People's Literature Publishing House republished "Required Reading Bibliography for College Students".

(4) On Yuefu Poetry (1985 Qilu Bookstore Edition). This book is an anthology of classical literature with 27 articles. Almost all previous classical literature articles except monographs are included. Among them, there are works by witty teenagers, works by thoughtful middle-aged people, and works by old people who are still full of vigor. There are many kinds of criticisms and comments, which are quite distinctive. 1986 won the first prize of outstanding works of social sciences in Shandong province.

(5) The History of China Literature (four volumes) 1963 People's Literature Publishing House, 1978 revised and reprinted, 19 1 year published by Taiwan Province Wu Nan Book Publishing Co., Ltd. My father is one of the five chief editors, mainly responsible for Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, Sui and Tang Dynasties. 1987 won the special prize of excellent teaching materials of the State Education Commission.

In addition, there are three books: Reading Poems (1956 Writers Publishing House), Jiefang Ji (1959 Shandong People Publishing House) and Piju (1959 Zhonghua Book Company Shanghai Editorial Room Edition, 198654). Unpublished manuscripts include Du Fu's Poems, Lectures on Mao Zedong's Poems, Poems in Cao Shi and other articles scattered in various newspapers and periodicals that have not been collected. My father said in a poem reprinted in The Study of Du Fu: "It is relatively old and rare to learn Du Fu as a child now. Without measuring merit, the income is already very small. Although it's called research, it's actually nothing to play with. I am ashamed to talk about this matter, but I dare not hope to solve it. " This is his truth.

My father has studied for more than 60 years. I think he has the following characteristics: First, he pays attention to the study and application of theory. He said that if my book History of Yuefu Literature in the Han, Wei and Six Dynasties is not without merit, it is also inspired by the words Wen Xin Diao Long. His study of Du Fu is a remarkable example. Two, familiar with the research object, the more familiar the better, the more useful. As for how to get familiar with it, he thinks it is best to be enthusiastic and interested in the research object and fascinate himself. Third, master the dialectical relationship between erudition and specialization. From Selected Poems of Past Dynasties to the history of Yuefu literature in the Han, Wei and Six Dynasties to the study of Du Fu, every specific project is from specialization to specialization. But the two should be expert first and excellent later. Fourth, the combination of teaching and research, father's writings, generally through the first class, and then published, and then published these three steps. In order to listen to opinions and make continuous improvement. Fifth, be rigorous and serious. This is my father's consistent academic style. He believes that seeking truth from facts is also a virtue that a scholar should possess. What he hates most and cannot tolerate most is that careless style. Sometimes he comments on my writing, which is even more disgusting than yourself. This really convinced him. Two of his doctoral students, Li Congjun and Lin Jizhong, wrote after graduation that they learned the word "earnest" from Mr. Xiao. Sixth, emphasize that being a man is the basis of learning. For example, in the governance of Du Fu, my father emphasized that we should learn from others' ambitions first. He said: "When we learn from Du Fu's poems, we learn from his poems and his aspirations. If you don't learn from others and just wander between the lines, you will get what you get. DUZH has heard the dross, although he hasn't learned it yet. " He added: "Studying Du Fu's poems is a sense of stupidity. There are some people in the world who are willing to work for Du Fu. " Father is such a "hardworking" person!

Twenty-three years ago, he said in a sentence entitled "Heart": "I swear to give my heart to the village man, Du." Sixteen years ago, he used Tao poetry to express his white heart: "But I hate that I couldn't read enough when I was alive!" I am eager to see the Annotation of Du Fu's Complete Works edited by him for thirteen years completed and published as soon as possible. Eleven years ago, he left with regret and opened his eyes. He really died unsatisfied! His dedication and selflessness after his death are enough to set an example for future generations. "Mr. Wang is not dead, and his name is fragrant."
