Composition commemorating the 30th anniversary of Chen Yuan's birth/kloc-0.
1880 (the sixth year of Guangxu in Qing dynasty) 165438+ 10/2, Chen yuan was born in the land of Stone Village in Xinhui. Moss has grown on the blue bricks of the former residence, especially the beams and trusses, the wells are quiet and clear, the streams and springs are gurgling, and the bamboo and wood green spaces are growing. This is the unique elegant and agile scenery of Xinhui.
Chen Yuan's childhood edification is not generally great. On the occasion of the demise of the last small court in the Southern Song Dynasty, Wen Tianxiang, Lu Xiufu, Zhang Shijie, the whole country's military and civilians, including Chen Yuan's ancestors, also took part in the anti-Yuan Yiju. In order to resist the national oppression of Mongolian nobles, Chen Yuan was deeply influenced by his heroic dedication to justice. Jiangmen Daoism, Baisha Neo-Confucianism (that is, Chen Xianzhang, a famous Neo-Confucianism in Ming Dynasty) and Hu Jinzhu, a famous scholar in Qing Dynasty, are all rural sages admired by Chen Yuan and take them as models. In the modern history of China, Liang Qichao was born in Xinhui, and Kang Youwei was born in Nanhai. They are both new stars and historians of modern political reform. Chen Yuan is seven years younger than Liang Qichao and is greatly influenced by Kang Liang. The correct taxi style of Xinhui since ancient times has made many literati avoid false reputation, cherish integrity and stress loyalty, which is a rare spiritual nourishment for Chen Yuan in his childhood.
The words and pictures about Chen Yuan displayed in the former residence look lonely, but I heard Chen Yuan's beating heart and youthful breath. When I was a child, Chen Yuan wandered in the sea of books very early. /kloc-when I was 0/3 years old, I realized that there was a new world besides stereotyped writing and classics. In Zhang Zhidong's bibliography solution, he touched the door of studying and managing money from bibliography. /kloc-when he was 0/8 years old, he took the provincial examination in Shuntian, hoping to take the road of imperial examination, but failed because he did not write according to the eight-part essay. Study hard for stereotyped writing and get a scholar. It doesn't seem to matter to him His interest is to participate in anti-imperialist and anti-feudal movements, write articles, run newspapers and periodicals, and show pride and courage in the struggle. He also studied the history of medicine, and later abandoned medicine and politics and history. At this time, Chen Yuan found his goal. He focuses on education and historical research. In his 70-year education career, no one can but admire his professionalism. He has trained many outstanding scholars. I saw his peaches and plums all over the world and many outstanding disciples in the photos he left behind. It can be said that Chen Yuan devoted half his energy to education and the other half to academic research. A generation of masters is not sealed out of thin air, but is composed of great research achievements and writings. I was shocked by a set of statistics: Chen Yuan * * * published 373 kinds of works, plus letters, poems, inscriptions and so on, totaling more than a thousand kinds. History only, with 18 works, including history, religious history and so on. 100 more than academic papers and papers.
I wandered in the patio, corridor and hall of my former residence, imagining the scene of this master of Chinese studies studying Sikuquanshu. Sikuquanshu was brewed in the thirty-seventh year of Qing Qianlong (1772), compiled in the thirty-eighth year (1773), and basically completed in the fifty-second year of Qianlong (1787), which took 15 years! It is copied into seven parts and stored in seven libraries. After many years, no one has conducted a comprehensive investigation and study on him. Until 1920, Chen Yuan became the first person to comprehensively study Sikuquanshu. How did Chen Yuan learn Sikuquanshu? It takes him more than three hours to go back and forth from the southwest corner of Beijing to Shi Jing Library. He goes early every morning and comes back in the evening. He studied 10 years! I have made a detailed understanding of this series, which includes more than 3 thousand kinds and more than 30 thousand volumes.
I once thought that Chen Yuan had read and written so many books and became a world-class scholar. He should stay in his study all his life. But in fact, this national treasure from the countryside is definitely not a "bookworm" divorced from reality. From the chronology of major events, I saw a Chen Yuan who dared to practice and deepened academic research in practice. He worked as a teacher in primary schools, middle schools and universities, as the president of Fu Jen Catholic University and Beijing Normal University, and taught in scientific research institutions for forty or fifty years, which can be described as inseparable from politics, metallurgy and academic practice all his life. Being a Cantonese in Beijing, he is particularly concerned about the cultural undertakings in his hometown Xinhui. I finally understand that Chen Yuan, the treasure of this country, has not only backbone, ambition and courage, but also popularity, geography and self-confidence. Because he is full of self-confidence, he has been passed down from generation to generation academically, and his spirit has not diminished. The academic inheritance of Chen Yuan and Chen Lesu has been affirmed, and the academic achievements of Chen Zhichao's third generation are legendary.
Chen Yuan's former residence has become obsolete in the stormy years, and the backyard has lost its former cleanliness. The swimming pool in front of the door has been abandoned as a pond, and the stream spring is silted up, waiting for rectification. But the flowers are still there, the birds are still there, and the breeze is still there. Standing in front of the door, President Chen Yuan is still upright, arrogant and ambitious. Clouds in Cang Sang swept through space, and I suddenly felt that a spirit permeated Changhong, connecting Gankun and never leaving. Jiangmen, Pengjiang and Xinhui are getting more and more golden.
