Liang Qichao's deeds

Liang Qichao (1873 ~ 1929) was a modern thinker, writer and scholar. The word Zhuoru, the word Renfu, the name Rengong, drink ice, don't be the owner of the ice room, Guangdong Xinhui. I learned it from my teacher when I was a child. "Learning literature at the age of eight, writing a thousand words at the age of nine" ("Thirty Self-reports"),/kloc-promoted at the age of 0/7. After studying under Kang Youwei, he became a propagandist of the bourgeois reform movement. Before the Reform Movement of 1898, he and Kang Youwei launched the movement of "writing on the bus". Since then, he has led strong societies in Beijing, Shanghai and other places, run a current affairs newspaper together with Huang Zunxian, served as the keynote speaker of Changsha Current Affairs School, and published "Reform Discussion" to promote reform.

After the failure of the Reform Movement of 1898, with Kang Youwei's exile in Japan, his political thoughts gradually became conservative, but he was a theoretical advocate of the modern literary revolution. Liang Qichao, Xia Cengyou, Tan Sitong and others put forward the slogan of "Poetry Revolution" and tried to write new poems, but the new poems at this time were just works of "drawing new words to express differences". After Liang Qichao fled to Japan, he continued to promote the "poetry revolution" in "Restaurant Collection" and "Hawaiian Travels", criticized the previous practice of expressing new ideas in poetry with new words, and put forward the progressive poetry theory of "using the old style to contain new artistic conception", which played a guiding role in the development of modern poetry in China. Under the influence of his theory, a large number of new poets such as Huang Zunxian appeared. Liang Qichao also tried to practice the theory of new poetry in his own poetry creation. Most of his poems were written when he was in exile in Japan, but his language was popular and free, he dared to apply new ideas and knowledge to his poems, and his poetic style was smooth. Poems such as "Four Chapters of Patriotic Songs" and "Unpaid Records" have sincere feelings and clear language, which well reflect their poetic theory. Liang Qichao put forward the slogan of "revolution in poetry" and then put forward the slogan of "revolution in fiction", and made a positive and meaningful attempt in creation. and

Compared with poems, novels and operas, Liang Qichao's achievements in prose are much higher. Marked by a series of essays published by him from Time 1896 to Xinmin Congbao 1906, he completed the establishment of a new style (also known as "Xinmin Style"), which is a pioneering work of the bourgeois reformists in the field of prose. Liang Qichao's "Can't Learn Tongcheng School Ancient Literature" has made a great breakthrough in the content and form of prose. His prose either exposes and criticizes the dark and ugly reality, or worries about the present situation of the motherland, or introduces advanced western ideas and technologies, actively calls for reform and self-improvement, and uses prose as a propaganda tool for his own reform ideas. In form, his prose is magnificent, often emotional and inspiring, and "has a magic power for readers"; The language is half written and half white. "It is easy to do things, slang, rhyme and foreign grammar are sometimes mixed, and the vertical strokes are unconstrained." On young chinese, the representative work, is based on the present situation in China, with thorough analysis and clear reasoning. It uses a series of rhetorical devices, such as metaphor and parallelism, and its style is magnificent. So Liang Qichao's prose has a great influence. "Every article is published, and the whole country is stunned." The new style represented by Liang Qichao's prose is a liberation of prose since Tongcheng School, and its appearance has made necessary preparations for the transformation of China's classical prose into modern prose, especially vernacular prose during the May 4th Movement.

It is worth noting that Liang Qichao is still a scholar, and his "An Introduction to Learning in Qing Dynasty" occupies a place in the academic history of Qing Dynasty.
