Pu Xuefeng's social circle is mostly Tsinghua scholars, but also Wu Zhihui, Yu Youren, Wang Chonghui and other politicians of the Republic of China. Scholar's demeanor, literati temperament, Pu Xuefeng's poems, songs and correspondence, and the new and old poems and celebrity letters included in the book, such as miscellaneous peanut trees, are dizzying.
When studying in Tsinghua, Wen Yiduo shared a room with Pu Xuefeng and served as the editor-in-chief of Tsinghua Weekly. I heard an ancient poem written for Pu: "Onion soup and wheat rice support the stomach, and the moon and breeze sleep boldly. If you don't study politics, you might as well avoid the world and learn to escape Zen. " Until the early days of the Anti-Japanese War, Wen Yiduo was a master of "Why not go downstairs" (in Zheng Tianting), probably because of the idea of "studying without learning politics". Soon, Wen Yiduo changed from a scholar who couldn't see the garden to a democracy fighter. 1946 During the demobilization and evacuation of the General Assembly, Wen Yiduo was in Xicangpo, wyndell dichinson, and there was nowhere to escape.
Pu Xuefeng and Wen Yiduo were both scholars during the May 4th Movement. They studied in Tsinghua and took part in the May 4th Movement. The life choice of this generation is closely related to the trend of the times, as well as to personality and hobbies. Although Pu Xuefeng is a political scientist, compared with Luo Longji, he is not keen on politics, but rather sober. Although he is an official, he is mostly a technical official, and his literary temperament is his spiritual background. During the Anti-Japanese War, Pu Xuefeng and Wu Wenzao both served in the Supreme National Defense Council of Chongqing, and they used to be very close. Pu Xuefeng was ill, and Bing Xin wrote Narcissus in Huanxisha to express his condolences. When Pu Xuefeng was moved, he began to write the chorus of "Red Plum in a Bottle". When Pu Xuefeng's friends Gu Yuxiu, Pu Jiangqing, Xiao Gongchuan and Wu Jingzhou learned about it, they sang in unison. Mei Yiqi also wrote a poem "Huanxisha", which became a popular story.
Reading Pearl Picking Overseas, I was pleasantly surprised to see the ink of a poem written by Chen in Kunming during the Anti-Japanese War (not seen in Chen's poems). Although it was printed, I was still very excited when I saw Chen Yinque's poetry and ink. Chen Yinque's calligraphy is as bad as Cai Yuanpei's. The poem "What you can see in the Cuihu Book" says: Looking at the car by the bridge, the new makeup looks like Beijing. Short waist mink pleats are called thin waist, and dense spiral clouds obliquely reflect the forehead. The dust in Chixian county shocked people and changed the world. Green Lake moved in spring. The remnants of the robbery in Kunming are gone, and there is no chance to talk to monk Hu. After Chen's poem, there is a postscript: "The mountain mourns the clouds in the south of the Yangtze River, talking about robbing the ash, and distinguishing the stars from setting at night." Today, there must be Nanjing stars living in Kunming. Smile. "The handwriting of the poem" Seeing from the Cuihu Book "not only shows the process of modifying Chen Yinque's poems, but also shows from the postscript that Chen's poems are not intended to be published, and most of them are friends in the circle. This poem by Chen Yinque shows the thoughts and feelings of Tsinghua students during the Anti-Japanese War. Like Pu Xuefeng's poetry books, they wander southwest, get rid of messy string songs, blend poetry and history, and witness the history of the Anti-Japanese War; Poetry in one, writing a page of anti-Japanese war culture.
Precious photos in private collections and copies of many celebrity letters are not only of historical value (including Hu Shi's overseas anecdotes), but more importantly, the notes of scholars' temperature and temperament can be regarded as a microcosm of the historical evolution of China in the past hundred years.
