During this time, the controversy over the "New Sexual Morality" of the Women's Magazine became more and more intense.

On March 14, Peking University professor Chen Daqi published "A New Talisman for Polygamy" in the 14th issue of the first volume of Modern Review, opposing Zhou Jianren's "The Scientific Standard of Sexual Morality" and Zhang Xichen's "What is the New Sexual Morality".

Chen Daqi is a good writer of political opinions, and his refutation from various aspects of law and morality is justified and well-founded.

This person is a veteran fighter in the new cultural circle, and this article has aroused strong repercussions in the new cultural circle, and many literati have expressed their opinions, mainly criticizing Zhang Xichen and Zhou Jianren.

For a time, a situation was formed in which everyone shouted and beaten.

Not to be outdone, these two wrote articles to refute them, Zhou Jianren wrote "Answering the 'New Talisman of Polygamy'" and Zhang Xichen wrote "Refuting Professor Chen Daqi's 'New Talisman of Polygamy'".

They sent the article to the magazine Modern Review.

The editorial office of the magazine "Modern Review" was in Beiping, and Xu Zhimo went to Europe, and Chen Yuan was in charge.

The editorial department originally did not want to publish these two articles, but later decided to delete some sensitive content before publishing, the so-called abridged version, and the manuscript was sent to Shanghai Vientiane Book Company for printing.

They wrote to Lin Zixuan to explain the situation, after all, Lin Zixuan's newspaper had been attacking Women's Magazine.

Lin Zixuan read the articles of Zhou Jianren and Zhang Xichen, and found that it was just a re-exposition of Western concepts out of context, and there was nothing new.

They believe that monogamy in the West is bad and has many drawbacks, and insists on their set of sexual freedom and sexual liberation.

Lin Zixuan was quite speechless about this.

Monogamy may have many problems, but it can be said that it is the marriage system that can best protect women's rights, otherwise it would not be recognized by most countries in the world.

Could the system of monogamy and monogamy be more perfect?

He really didn't repent, and he pulled out these two articles. It was not published, and he wrote an article himself.

Mr. Zhang and Mr. Zhou thought that finding a little extreme feminist ideology from the West was trendy and fashionable, the so-called truth, grandstanding and misleading readers. Not ashamed, but proud. ”

"After being criticized, I felt how wronged I was, I thought I was a pioneer, I was suppressed by the old forces, and I was resentful, but I didn't know that I was spreading the dross of the West, which was inconsistent with China's national conditions."

The Swedish feminist Ellen Kay they admired was not in favor of the new women at all, and they deliberately ignored this and chose only the views that were favorable to them. Taking it out of context, this is not the way to do learning. ”

"It's really pitiful that the two gentlemen don't study the good things of the West, but specialize in studying these crooked ways, and they are complacent because of this."

"This journal will not accept this kind of article cheating in the future, please do it yourself."

Lin Zixuan is also a master of scolding on the Internet in later generations, and he has secretly scolded a few times with a pen name in this era, and he has always felt that he can't enjoy it. This time he used his own name, and it was very cool.

The article appeared in the April issue of Modern Review. It added fuel to the fire of this great debate about the "new sexual morality".

Zhang Xichen and Zhou Jianren were not reconciled and sent the manuscript to other newspapers and magazines.

However, influential newspapers and magazines in general refuse to publish their articles, resulting in no place for them to publish.

This is not caused by Lin Zixuan, in this era of relative freedom of speech, he does not have such a big force. It can influence newspapers.

The main reason is that the views of the two are not accepted by the public, and those newspapers and magazines do not want to set themselves on fire.

So, the two sent the article to Lu Xun and asked Lu Xun to introduce the magazine on their behalf.

In this way, they involved Lu Xun.

Lu Xun published these two articles in Mangyuan. And attached is a critical article.

"In the past few days, I have received two articles in reply to Mr. Chen Daqi's "New Talisman of Polygamy", and it is said that the "Modern Review" will not publish their defense, and there is nowhere to vote, so I sent them to me, please go to the place where they can be published for introduction."

"It is true that there is no such article in the Women's Magazine, and it is terrifying to think that two types of people who are very different in class can unite in China."

"But I always thought that Mr. Zhang Zhouliang had made these comments in China too early, and although foreign countries have said the old, foreign countries are foreign countries. However, I always feel that Mr. Chen's mouth is full of "disadvantages", which is about interests and disadvantages, not about right and wrong, which is incomprehensible. ”

"As for Mr. Lin's belief that these discussions are dross and harmful to today's country, I think if they don't spread in, how can we predict whether they will be harmful or not? It is always necessary for people to understand and judge, and argue about it in order to confirm whether it is harmful, otherwise it will be a word, arbitrary, and not enough. ”

This article seems to be fair, and there are comments on both sides, but in fact, it still has the meaning of defending Zhang Xichen and Zhou Jianren.

As a result of this incident, Zhang Xichen resigned from the Commercial Press, and Zhou Jianren was transferred to edit the journal Nature.

Later, Zhang Xichen founded a magazine, New Woman, to continue to promote his views, and founded the Kaiming Book Company, which became a competitor to Lin Zixuan.

This controversy is only the beginning, and the debate between Modern Review and Silk has only just begun.

The controversy was caused by the incident of the students of Beijing Women's Normal University opposing the president Yang Yinyu, also known as the Female Teachers Wave.

Yang Yinyu was born in 1884 in Wuxi, Jiangsu Province, to a scholarly family.

In 1907, he went to Japan at public expense to study at the Tokyo Higher Normal School, and in 1918, he went to the United States to study at Columbia University and received a master's degree in education.

In 1924, she was appointed president of the National Beijing Women's Normal University, becoming the first female university president in modern Chinese history.

In accordance with the educational theories he learned from the West, Yang Yinyu emphasized order and study style in schools, and demanded that students only study and not participate in political activities, and regarded student demonstrations as improper study styles.

This creates a contradiction with the students, especially some of the radicals among the students.

One of these radical students was Xu Guangping.

In January 1925, the Women's Teachers and Students' Autonomous Association submitted a declaration to Yang Yinyu asking her to resign, asking the Ministry of Education to remove the principal, and in April, Zhang Shizhao, the chief of education, emphasized the rectification of the style of study and publicly supported Yang Yinyu.

The tide intensified until it was out of control.

There are many different political tendencies in the modern critics, such as Chen Yuan, who supported Yang Yinyu and opposed the student troubles, thus starting a famous polemic with Lu Xun.

What's interesting is the story behind this craze.

The students are in the front, the forces are manipulating behind the scenes, some are being used, and some are getting love.

Later, Xu Guangping reflected on this: "And when you came out to do things, everyone said that they would be backing, and everyone stuffed gunpowder in front of you, and when you were full, the line of fire was lit!" They'll run away from afar, and you'll be just a bomb shell and shattered. (To be continued.) )
