Zhu Ziqing (1898-1948), a famous modern essayist, poet, and literary researcher. His original name was Zihua and his nickname was Qiushi. Later he changed his name to Ziqing and his courtesy name was Peixian. He was originally from Shaoxing, Zhejiang Province. He was born in Donghai, Jiangsu Province. He later settled in Yangzhou with his grandfather and father and called himself a "Yangzhou native".
While studying at Peking University, he participated in the "May 4th" movement, participated in launching the "China New Poetry Society" and founded the monthly "Poetry", and was an early member of the Literary Research Association. After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, he participated in the struggle against Chiang Kai-shek and Guan Guan, refused to receive relief food from the United States, and died of poverty and illness.
When Zhu Ziqing was in middle school, he loved reading very much. At that time, his family gave him one yuan of pocket money every month, but he spent most of it on bookstores, and he often fell into debt. The book "Easy Interpretations of Buddhism" that sparked his interest in philosophy was obtained from the bookstore in his hometown. Later, he went to Peking University to study. Once, he saw a new version of "Webster's Dictionary" at Huayang Bookstore in Liulichang. The price was 14 yuan, but he didn't have so much money on hand. After thinking about it, he bought it with all the money he had. A leather coat was pawned at a pawn shop for 14 yuan in exchange for the book.
In daily life, Zhu Ziqing is good at using trivial time to read. Every morning during his morning bath, he brushed his teeth and washed his face while silently reciting one or two poems. He wrote in an essay titled "Hurry": "When I wash my hands, the days pass by the basin; when I eat, the days pass by the rice bowl; when I am silent, the days pass by my gaze. I feel it go by. It was in such a hurry that when I stretched out my hand to hold it back, it passed by my holding hands..." This is actually a reflection of him cherishing time and seizing every moment to read and study.
Zhu Ziqing paid special attention to taking notes when he was studying, and extracted cards by category. He used this method to accumulate a large amount of research data. He not only wrote a large number of popular prose throughout his life, but also rich literary theoretical writings, which are inseparable from his insistence on taking notes and diligent reading. His works such as "Language Debate" are not only insightful and insightful, but also surprisingly rich in arguments. They are generally respected and praised by the educational and academic circles.
In terms of reading methods, Zhu Ziqing advocated thorough reading and emphasized the skill of "reading".
In his article "On Reading aloud", he praised Yao Nai of the Qing Dynasty for "reading loudly and quickly, and he will realize himself over time" and Zeng Guofan "if you don't read aloud, you can't get the majestic concept, and if you don't chant secretly, you can't explore its profound interest." point of view. This is true for reading classical Chinese, and it is also true for reading vernacular Chinese; poems need to be recited, and classics also need to be read over and over again.
He said: "The classics give people knowledge and teach them how to behave. There are many topics in language, history, and cultivation, and there are many annotations. In addition, there are many related textual researches. I have read hundreds of them. Even if you read more, you may not be able to understand everything. It makes sense to teach people to read more."
Zhu Ziqing has his own principles in reading and doing things. He is not afraid of offending others and always considers others among his colleagues. Before he resigned as director of the Tsinghua Library, he specifically fired an incompetent librarian to avoid causing trouble to his successor.
According to legend, Tsinghua students at that time "didn't take him seriously as the library director." One student actually called Zhu Ziqing's home because he couldn't find the book he wanted to borrow in the library. , asked him to go to the library to help find it, but unexpectedly Zhu Ziqing actually agreed to him.
His seriousness is also reflected in teaching. The elective course "Literary Studies" has only Wang Yao as a student. Despite this, Zhu Ziqing still teaches and takes exams as usual.
Zhu Ziqing wrote diligently throughout his life, leaving nearly 30 kinds of writings with more than 2 million words, mainly including a collection of poems and essays "Traces", a collection of essays "Back", "Miscellaneous Notes on Travels in Europe", and a collection of literary and art essays "Poetry" "Discrimination" and "Collected Essays on Zhu Ziqing's Classical Literature", etc.
Some people comment on Zhu Ziqing, saying that his success is that he is good at expressing his inner feelings about natural scenery through precise observation, and he can express it appropriately, whether it is light or strong, and the taste is very positive. And mellow. Zhu Ziqing's achievements are not unrelated to his hard study.
