His academic research began with Tang poetry, involving the Book of Songs, Chuci, ancient myths and other fields.
Dissatisfied with Chiang Kai-shek's dictatorship and angry, he called for democracy and was assassinated by Kuomintang agents. ...
Wen Yiduo is a romantic poet. He will turn the lecture into a poetic process. So he changed the morning class to evening. At seven o'clock, the light came on. Wen Yiduo, wearing a dark gown, walked into the classroom with piles of manuscripts he had studied for several years. After the students stood up and saluted and sat down, Wen Yiduo also sat down; But he didn't speak at once, but slowly took out a cigarette case, opened it and smiled kindly at the students: Who smokes? The students all laughed, and naturally no one would really accept such gentlemanly courtesy. So, Wen Yiduo lit a cigarette himself, took a long sip and read in a very soothing voice: "Pain-drinking-drinking-reading-Li Sao-can be named-scholar!"
Wen Yiduo's student Wenshan: His baritone, which I wrote in an article, is very similar to the viola bass.
Qin Ni, a student of Wen Yiduo: Every time I attend class, there are many students, not only from my own department, but also from other schools. Windows and windows are full of people except seats.
Sometimes he talks cheerfully, Wen Yiduo will prolong the time until the moonlight is all over the campus, and he will return to his new south campus with cool dew.
"Red candle! Such a red candle! Poet! Tucao your own heart to compare, but what about the general color? " Wen Yiduo's two poems "Red Candle" and "Dead Water" published successively in the 1920s established his position in China's poetry circles. After the May 4th Movement, this Tsinghua student, who got high marks for imitating Liang Qichao's writing style, devoted himself to the creation of vernacular Chinese new poetry advocated by Hu Shi, thinking that the achievements of vernacular Chinese new poetry far exceeded Hu Shi's. Liang Shiqiu once praised Wen Yiduo as "the only poet in Tsinghua now" and said that he was "full of poems". During his study in the United States, Wen Yiduo wrote a lot of patriotic poems, such as Wake Up and Song of Seven Sons, in the face of domestic troubles and foreign invasion.
Li Xiao, a student of Wen Yiduo: He has a famous saying that the poet's main talents are love, love for the motherland and love for the people. This is a sentence that best reflects his thoughts and feelings, and it is also a sentence that he has actually done all his life.
After Wen Yiduo got married, he began to implement the "poetic family" plan. Even in the later period of the Anti-Japanese War, when material life was extremely difficult, the activities of poets never stopped.
Wen Ziwen for more than one time: The four of us sat next to each other, and he spoke one by one, just like a lecture. And in the middle, what do you mean? Then we'll see. Then he said what the word meant and what the sentence meant. Tell us one by one. When we're done, we'll recite it.
Wen Yiduo's third son, Wen Li Peng: When he was tired of writing, he called us together at night and then let us go back one by one.
Diao Li: What's his general situation? He always leans on the bed and sits there with a pillow behind him. He leaned over to talk and we sat next to him. Then, the children hit him on the leg one by one in turn. When you recite it in the future, you should recite it well and see who can recite it. If you can't recite it, you will be punished for hitting your legs, and you will be beaten a hundred times.
Wen Yiduo, a native of Xishui, Hubei Province, was admitted to Tsinghua on 19 12. On the campus of Tsinghua, he wrote new poems, performed dramas, engaged in fine arts and studied and lived for ten years. From 65438 to 0922, he went to art institute of chicago to study fine arts, so he became the first graduate in Tsinghua history to study western fine arts abroad. 1932, Wen Yiduo returned to his alma mater and was hired as a professor of Chinese Department of Tsinghua University. Wen Yiduo is famous for writing new poems, and his major is fine arts. Now he is invited to teach China classical literature, and he is also hired as a professor by famous scholars such as Chen Yinque and Zhu Ziqing. This background makes Wen Yiduo feel pressure.
Wen Yiduo's second article: Because Tsinghua is a school studying in the United States, you went to the United States instead of learning Chinese. So engineering or other courses go to the United States to study, and Americans pay here, so it pays attention to other courses but not Chinese. My father is very interested in Chinese. He spent a lot of time reading when he was in Tsinghua. Every summer vacation, he will go back to his hometown to study ancient books for two months, so he calls his study "February Land". Wen Yiduo is self-taught. Why do you say that? It's about China literature.
Wen Yiduo's eldest daughter is famous: sometimes I heard from my mother that she sometimes fell asleep in the middle of the night and suddenly sat up, and my mother woke up and said what to do. He said I remembered, I remembered the word and how to study it. )
Wen Yiduo's academic research began with the literature of the Tang Dynasty. In order to study Du Fu alone, Wen Yiduo collected more than 360 people who had contacts with Du Fu and wrote Notes on Mr. Shao Ling's Chronicle. The Complete Biography of Poets in Tang Dynasty, edited by Wen Yiduo, is a thick book with more than 600,000 words and involving 406 poets, although it is titled Xiao.
(Interview: Wen Yiduo's student Zhao: I think all his books are written in the fine print of a fly's head, which is really the size of a fly's head. I annotated the book. )
For a time, Wen Yiduo didn't go out easily except for class in order to sort out academic manuscripts. After dinner, the professors agreed to go out for a walk. Wen Yiduo refused to waste this time. Zheng Tianting, a professor of history, suggested to him, "Why not go downstairs?" Wen Yiduo still insisted on sitting at his desk, which earned him the nickname "Why not ask the landlord".
(Interview: Wen Yiduo, third son, Wen: He will do it for you seriously when he looks for something, and he must succeed, and his best work is not ordinary. )
(Interview: Wen Yiduo and Li Xiao: According to Guo Moruo's order, his books, his knowledge, keen vision and extensive research are novel and detailed, which are not only unprecedented, but also probably unprecedented. )
1On July 7, 937, the sound of gunfire from Lugou Bridge interrupted Wen Yiduo's comfortable teaching life. The situation in Beijing became increasingly tense, and Wen Yiduo had to leave his old capital with his family. At this time, Wen Yiduo, who never does housework, doesn't know what to do because his wife is not around.
(Interview: Wen Yiduo's third son Wen: My father, a big man who never cares about his family, wants a housekeeper, takes our three children and walks from there to Kunming. It's a complicated matter for him, so he can say that he didn't bring anything. )
Finally, Wen Yiduo left Beijing with only two books.
Subsequently, Tsinghua, Peking University and Nankai successively moved south and merged to form a temporary university in Changsha, Hunan. Due to the fall of Nanjing, the Temporary University had to move to Kunming and be renamed National Southwest Associated University.
There are two routes from Changsha to Kunming. Go to Hanoi first, then transfer to Kunming. You can take the bus on this line. The second route is to walk to Kunming through Guizhou, Hunan. Wen Yiduo chose the second route.
