Chapter subtitle: Here comes again what some people hate but some people like.

………………………………………………………………

As a great writer, thinker, educator, and politician who profoundly influenced the 20th and 21st centuries, Mr. Yuan Yanqian is the most eye-catching research object in the field of Chinese and foreign history today, if not one of them. So there is the saying "Yuan Xue".

However, we should also note that whether in the West or the East, the so-called "Yuan Xue" research has gone into a misunderstanding.

Western historical scholars have become so sensationalist that they have completely lost their serious academic character and have been reduced to the rhetoric of thoroughly entertaining the public. In particular, in recent years, a book about Mr. Yuan written by a best-selling American author not only engages in mysticism and portrays Mr. Yuan as a "sage of the bamboo forest" with superpowers, but also uses conspiracy theories to forcibly attach the SCP Foundation established by Mr. Yuan to a mysterious organization that influences history behind the scenes.

Such "historical" works are naturally infinitely poisonous, and have also had a certain degree of impact on Mr. Yuan's reputation.

On the other hand, the research on "Yuan Xue" in China's academic circles has become an ideological confrontation because of the differences in political ideas among researchers.

The leftists believed that Mr. Yuan and Trotsky were sympathetic to each other and that he had many anarchist close friends, so he was actually a leftist under the guise of liberalism. And he may well be a Blanquist with very radical revolutionary means.

The rightists naturally dismissed this as nonsense, arguing that Mr. Yuan's neoclassical liberal stance had never wavered, and that the title of "Vice President of the Austrian School of China" was well deserved to him.

Such a debate is only an expression of the debater's mind, and it is not beneficial to academic research.

In view of this, we decided to start a special magazine "Yuan Xue". The manuscripts selected in this journal are all research articles based on Mr. Yuan's first-hand information, which are mainly articles, diaries, letters, interviews and memoirs written by people from all walks of life who came into contact with Mr. Yuan at the same time.

My colleagues and I hope to clean up the source and restore history and Mr. Yuan Yanqian to his original face. ”

——Excerpt from "(Yuan Yanqi Research) Inaugural Words"

"I saw Mr. Hongji's mixed feelings in the "Morning Post Supplement" on August 4 (1922), and I was very surprised that there was such a restrained gentleman in the world, who did not know the world to such a degree, and came to discuss his theory with the princes of "Xue Heng".

The so-called "Xue Heng", in my opinion, is really nothing more than a few fake antiques gathered on the left side of the "Treasure Gate"; Although he calls himself "Heng", his own star has not yet been nailed, let alone the weight of right and wrong that he weighs. Therefore, there is no need to be more accurate, as long as you estimate it......

In short, if the princes attack the new culture and show off the old learning, if it does not contradict itself, it is not a kind of proposition. It's a pity that there is no way to learn from the old school, and the proposition is not worthy. If the people who don't understand the words are also counted as confidants of the quintessence, then the quintessence of the country should be even more ashamed! "Heng" was stunned, only "Heng" out of his own baht two, Yu New Culture is not harmed, and Yu Guojing is far behind.

The only thing I admire about you is that this kind of thing can have the courage to publish it. ”

——Excerpt from Lu Xun's "Estimation (Xueheng)" (Author's note: At that time, he published this article in the "Morning Post Supplement" under the pseudonym of Fengsheng. Reading these paragraphs, you will know that he is an old man and has many enemies of Mao. ）

"I, the 'good gentleman', have read the miscellaneous feelings published in this newspaper on August 9. Fengjun has profound knowledge, and I can't do it; The writing is hearty and dripping, and it is also shocking.

However, as a good gentleman, I have a word not to say unhappy, Wu Jun in the "Xueheng" faction and I have had face-to-face exchanges in New York, and his intention to defend the quintessence of the country is still good, and he is interested in "the loss of the quintessence of the country, the country will not be the country." Nor can it be said that the worry is completely wrong......

Therefore, I don't think it's appropriate to be too harsh on the gentlemen of "Xue Heng". ”

——Excerpt from "Re-evaluation (Xue Heng)"

"Mr. Hongji's "Re-evaluation (Xue Heng)" shows his knightly demeanor as a foreign gentleman, but this is China, and the spirit of Fei Epporai should be slowed down......"

——Excerpt from Lu Xun's "Re-evaluation (Xue Heng)"

"Mr. Fengsheng's "Re-evaluation (Xue Heng)" surprised me very much. Feng Jun's penmanship is honestly old and spicy, but his mind is quite narrow-minded, and his article seems to be from the hand of Master Shaoxing......"

——Excerpt from Hongji's "Re-evaluation (Xueheng)"

"Recently, two of my friends, Mr. Fengsheng and Mr. Hongji, because of their different opinions on the "Xueheng" school, started a round of pen war in the "Morning Post Supplement". I think they are all resolute in their will to promote the new cultural movement, but their attitudes are different......"

——Excerpt from Hu Shi's "A Little Opinion on the Theory of Fenghong"

"In 1922, two cadres of the New Culture Movement, both of whom were members of the New Culture Movement, had a famous controversy in the "Morning Post Supplement" because of their different attitudes towards the "Xueheng" faction, known as the 'Theory of Fenghong'.

These two are Mr. Lu Xun and Mr. Hongji, the first and second people in the vernacular. However, the question of who among them was the first to write in the vernacular is still a matter of opinion to this day.

Some people think that Lu Xun's "Diary of a Madman" is the first true vernacular text, so he is undoubtedly the first.

However, some people say that Mr. Hongji's vernacular literary works are not only far more than Mr. Lu Xun in terms of quantity, but also higher in quality. His reputation as a first-man is unquestionable.

This article will not talk about the question of who the first person in the vernacular literature is, but will talk about their essays.

Mr. Lu Xun's essays are called throwing spears and daggers, and every time the bayonet sees blood, it makes people tremble when they read it. However, he was approachable in life, quick to speak and act, and was a good mentor and friend.

Compared with him, Mr. Hongjian has always been known for his madness, unruly personality, unscrupulous words and deeds, and he claims to be 'so handsome that he has no friends'. And most of his essays are graceful and generous, even if they are sarcastic. Of course, sometimes he is also unceremonious, it is said that after Mr. Kang Nanhai read his article "Do What You Don't Do", he was so angry that he vomited blood on the spot.

As the text says, these two are counterexamples in reality.

Later, fortunately, Mr. Hu Shi issued a persuasion, and the two essayists shook hands at the end of 1922.

So at that time, everyone thought that Mr. Lu Xun was incomparably sharp and could be a pioneer officer of Zhengyin.

Mr. Shizhi is cautious and peaceful, and it is most appropriate for His Royal Highness to take the line.

Mr. Dazhao and Mr. Zhongfu are the leading generals on the left and right.

And Mr. Hongjian is elegant and elegant, and he is the best choice for the coach of the New Culture Movement, and because of his sentence "so handsome that he has no friends", he is called "Yuan Shuai".

These five were the governors of the five armies of the New Culture Movement. ”

Thanks to Brother Pengju, correct and fill in the mistakes and omissions in the previous chapters.

First, Comrade Liu Bang is the Minister of Wei, but he is still an old hooligan.

Second, those "canons" of the Renaissance were snatched back from Constantinople by the Crusaders in 1204.

Third, Qian Qianyi, who has an itchy scalp and "the water is too cold", is actually not so unbearable, but if you want me to say, he is still dead.

There is also a little doubt about the content of ancient Chinese costumes, which will be discussed after Murong confirms.
