When Lin Zixuan talked about inheriting traditional culture, many Peking University students quit.

In this era, Peking University can be said to be the birthplace of new culture, Cai Yuanyuan put forward the concept of "freedom of thought, inclusiveness", and the academic atmosphere of Peking University is free and accommodates all ideas.

There is both a radical new culture and a conservative Chinese school.

This has led to a clash of ideas, and the same is true for the students, who all have their own positions.

That's what universities should be, cultivating all kinds of talents, not like minions carved out of a mold.

Most of the students who withdrew were radicals, believing that Lin Zixuan supported the conservatives, much like Lin Zixuan's defense of Tagore in the supplement of the Morning Post.

They thought that Lin Zixuan, who had returned from studying in the West, was a leading figure in the new literature and should be on their side.

Therefore, when I heard that Lin Zixuan advocated traditional culture, I left disappointed.

When Lin Zixuan talked about the need to study Western culture selectively, to distinguish the essence and dross of Western culture, and not to accept it all, some students quit.

These students are conservative and resistant to Western culture.

They originally thought that Lin Zixuan supported Tagore and promoted traditional culture, but they didn't expect Lin Zixuan to still support Western culture.

As a result, the huge auditorium has grown from hundreds to hundreds, and most of the students who have persevered are probably curious.

After all, Lin Zixuan is very famous in Shanghai, and he has not been to Beiping, and they have only heard of him. Nowhere to be seen.

Compared with Lu Xun and Hu Shi, who teach at Peking University, Lin Zixuan is too famous. People are too young and too strange. So they wanted to hear Lin Zixuan's insights.

Lin Zixuan watched the students leave the stage and smiled bitterly in his heart.

This is what he asked for, and he can't complain about others, if he talks about a new poem, and then writes a beautiful new poem on the spot, and does a show, he will definitely win a full house, and everyone will be happy.

This time, though. He just wants to say what he really thinks.

There are things that can be left undone, some things that can be postponed until tomorrow, and some things that have to be done.

He didn't regret it, and he went on to talk about the beauty of traditional culture.

"The reason why I advocate traditional Chinese culture is because it is beautiful." Lin Zixuan said, "Do you think Tang poems are not beautiful? Isn't Song Ci beautiful? There are also "Dream of Red Mansions" and "Journey to the West", they are our traditional culture, should we really criticize them indiscriminately? ”

"We criticize feudal ideology and feudal etiquette. These are the things that should be, but we should also distinguish between the essence and the dross of traditional culture, and we should selectively criticize rather than deny them altogether. Lin Zixuan emphasized.

In order to keep this speech from obscurity. Let more people remember his point of view, and he has prepared a killer feature.

"I'm a southerner, and I rarely see snow." Towards the end of the presentation. Lin Zixuan suddenly said, "This time I came to the north. It's a pity that the season is not right, and I still didn't see the snow scene. Two days ago, my friend accompanied me to the Great Wall to look at it, imagining the scene of heavy snow in the severe winter in the north, so I wrote a poem to share with you, hoping that you will remember the beauty of traditional culture. ”

The remaining hundreds of students were shocked, the poet was going to write poetry, but he didn't expect that there would be such benefits in the end.

Lin Zixuan picked up the chalk, turned around and wrote on the blackboard, reciting aloud as he wrote.

"The scenery of the northern country, thousands of miles of ice, thousands of miles of snow. Looking inside and outside the Great Wall, only reckless; Up and down the river, suddenly lost and surging. Mountain dance silver snake, the original Chi wax elephant, want to be higher than the heavenly public test. It must be a sunny day, and look at the red dress, which is extraordinarily enchanting. ”

"There are so many delicate rivers and mountains, leading countless heroes to bend their waists. Regret the Qin Emperor and Han Wu, slightly lose the literary style; Tang Zong and Song Zu, slightly inferior. A generation of Tianjiao, Genghis Khan, only knows how to bend the bow and shoot the eagle. The past, the number of romantic figures, but also look at the present. ”

As he recited loudly, the auditorium fell silent, this poem was too domineering.

After all, Lin Zixuan has taught, the board book is good, the handwriting is not in block letters, but there is no arrogance, which is just matched with this majestic poem, which complements each other.

That's what he was prepared for.

He believed that with this poem, his speech would be hotly debated for a while, so that the ideas he put forward would also be spread and have some impact.

"You are students of Peking University, you are the leaders of this era, and the future of this country is in your hands. Lin Zixuan said calmly, "This is the end of my speech, thank you very much." ”

He didn't leave time for the students to ask questions, so he got off the podium and said hello to Hu Shi.

Hu Shi came to the stage and said two words, announced the dissolution, and walked out of the auditorium with Lin Zixuan.

"This poem of yours is not for students." Hu Shi said with emotion.

He is proficient in traditional culture, and from this poem, he can see a kind of boldness that guides the country, and can stand on a high place to judge the emperors of the past dynasties, which has a kind of imperial atmosphere.

Combined with the poem written by Lin Zixuan when he watched the tide in Haining last time, Hu Shi felt that this person's heart was a little big.

"It's just the feeling when I visited the Great Wall the day before yesterday." Lin Zixuan responded.

In this era, the tourist attractions in Beiping are similar to those of later generations, most of them are to visit various royal gardens, of course, Fu Yi still lives in the Forbidden City, and there is no way to travel for the time being, followed by the Great Wall and Xishan.

For foreigners, there is another place to listen to Mei Lanfang singing.

In 1931, a writer named Ni Xiying wrote a series of small books on urban geography, which were dedicated to the tourist attractions of major cities in China at that time.

He used vivid brushstrokes and a large number of pictures to record the historical evolution, geographical situation, transportation, scenic spots, and historic sites of each city, which can be described as a travel guide during the Republic of China.

Although Lin Zixuan visited Beijing in later generations, the times are different, and the scenery is naturally different.

Moreover, the members of the Crescent Society thought that he had never been to Beiping, so they kindly took him around, and the Great Wall was naturally among them.

In later generations, to the Great Wall is tourism, at this time to the Great Wall is called nostalgia, because the Great Wall in the Republic of China period is not as gorgeous and lively as Badaling in later generations, the Great Wall at this time is more desolate.

Lin Zixuan, who was standing on the Great Wall, remembered the song "Qinyuan Spring", and took advantage of this speech to say it to strengthen his momentum.

China's traditional culture is indeed very beautiful, and it is unfair and unfortunate to deny it altogether.

"I'm afraid this proposal of yours will cause criticism." Hu Shi pondered.

In the debate between science and metaphysics, he is the main figure of the Scientology, so he is well aware of the current chaotic situation in China's ideological circles, and Lin Zixuan's speech today has offended all three factions in the ideological circles, and he will definitely be attacked by all sides.

"People don't take young people lightly, and let me indulge in frivolity once." Lin Zixuan chuckled.

On the campus of Peking University, Hu Shi looked at Lin Zixuan's tall figure and felt that this young man was walking a different path from them, and there were few people on this road, so he would be very lonely when he thought about it. (To be continued.) )
