Chapter 15 Button thread miscellaneous feeling

The following words are due to reading "Suiganlu" (28) of "Yusi" (147th issue) (2) and written. In the past six months, among the periodicals I have read, except for Beixin, there is no complete one: "Wildland", "New Life" (3), "Shen Zhong" (4).Even "Siwen" in Japanese is all about Sinology, and "Legend of Journey to the West" (5) is attached at the end. I want to compare it with Romance, so it is very useful, but the second one is missing. From the fourth book onwards, it disappeared.As for "Yusi", I did not receive a total of six issues. Later, I bought most of them from bookstores in the market. Only 126 and 143 were finally unavailable. I still don't know what the contents are. .

Are these unreceived periodicals lost or confiscated?I thought it was both.The confiscated place is Beijing, Tianjin, or Shanghai, Guangzhou?I thought it was everywhere too.As for the reason for the confiscation, that is unknown. All I know for sure are a few things.One issue of "The Wilderness" was also detained, but this can be said, because there are translations of Russian works in it.At that time, only one word "Russian" was enough to be thrilling, and naturally there was no time to take into account the time and content.But Wei Congwu's "Junshan" (6) was also detained.This poem not only cannot say "red", but also cannot say "white". It is exactly the same age as the author, and he is "green", yet he was imprisoned in the post office.Mr. Li Jinming had sent me a letter a long time ago, saying that he sent me "The Collection of Fire" (7). One copy was entrusted to the bookstore. In case they would forget, he sent another copy himself.But it has been nearly half a year, and none of them have arrived.I think nine out of ten were confiscated, because the color of the fire was both "red" and "strong", so of course it wouldn't pass.

Issue 1, 3, and 2 of "Yusi" were sent to me about six weeks after publication. On the cover was written two big green characters: "Detention", and there were also the seal and seal of the inspection agency.When I opened it, I found that there were "Genesis of the Yuzi People", "Notes on Lonely", "Scattering Coriander in the Garden", "Su Manshu and His Friends", none of which seemed to be banned.I just read "Letters According to the Board", which talks about "death in love" and "killing in love".There is only "Gossip Supplements".This issue is very small, only two in total.One is talking about Japan, which probably won't be banned.One is that "Yusi" does not want to publish the letter telling the "Qing Party" of cruel methods at the moment.Is it because of this?But why not do it?Inexplicable.But why was it "detained" and then released?Also inexplicable.

The source of this inexplicable, I think lies in the inspectors. Whenever something happens in China recently, the first thing to do is to check the post and telecommunications.Some of the inspectors are group heads or district heads. I don’t think we need to talk to him about essays and poetry.But even scholars still can't explain clearly, especially in so-called revolutionary places.I am used to the blunt revolutionary training, lifting all the revolutionary spirit like oil floating on the water, but I don't care about increasing nutrition.Therefore, when a worker was pictured on the cover of a publication holding a shovel or a pickaxe in his hand, and the text read "Revolution! Revolution!" "Down! Down!"Now I want to draw a young soldier riding a horse with a flag, saying "Strictly punish! Strictly punish!"As for "sarcasm", "humor", "irony", "chat", etc., they are really incompatible.From being out of place to being ignorant, the result is unavoidably messed up, no one can understand.

Another layer is to check the publications all day long, and soon you will get dizzy, then hate, then get angry, and then think that the publications are generally hateful—especially those that are not easy to understand—rather than strictly enforced.I remember that the books were not trimmed, and I was one of the perpetrators. At that time, there was really no malice.Later, when I saw Mr. Fang Chuanzong's correspondence (see "Silk" 129), he actually said that the person who wants to bind it with raw edges is so hateful (9), and I feel full of grievances.But when I think about it carefully, Mr. Fang seems to be a librarian, so it is not surprising that he is always cutting the rough-edged books that he is not interested in, and finally he can't help but curse the Mao-bian party.The inspector is the same as this example. Over time, he will lose his temper. At first, he may look at it in detail, but later it is inevitable that "Arguing Fire Collection" is also terrible, and "Junshan" is also suspicious. There is only one safest way: detain .

Just two months ago, I saw in the newspaper that a certain post office had seized too many publications and had nowhere to store them, so they burned them all.I really felt heartbroken at that time, as if there were a few of them that belonged to me.Woah!My "Fire Collection" Oh.My "Legend of Journey to the West".mine……. Incidentally, I would like to say a few words about the rough edges.When I participated in the printing of books in Beijing, I secretly decided on three small reforms that were insignificant, so I would try them out.One is the title of the front page and the author's inscription, breaking the symmetry; two is leaving a few blank lines before the first line of each article; three is the rough edges.As a result, the first piece has been restored to the incense burner and candlestick style; the second piece is sometimes no matter how much it is ordered, and when it is about to be printed, the worker finally moves the first line of words to the edge of the paper, and uses "thunderbolt". "means", making you irretrievable; the third one was the first to be attacked, and soon I surrendered conditionally.Make an appointment with Boss Li (10): Don’t care about anything else, it’s just my translation, and you must stick to the rough edges to the end!But what about today?The five or ten volumes my boss gave me are still rough.However, in the bookstore, I found that there was no "hair" and the sides were smooth.In the final analysis, they will all win outright.So to say that I want to reform the society, or have anything to do with reforming the society, is completely wrong. I have long been plagued by illness, lying on the bed and smoking rolls—Caifeng brand—.

Closer to home.The publications have run into snags for the time being, and not only censors, I am afraid even young people who are studying, are still the same.As I have said before, the writing in revolutionary places should be straightforward, "revolution! revolution!", and this is "revolutionary literature".I once saw an article published in a periodical, followed by an accompanying note from the author, saying that this article did not talk about revolution, sorry readers, sorry, sorry. (11) But since the "purge of the party", in addition to this "straightforwardness", a kind of nervousness has been added. Naturally, the "destiny" still needs to be revolutionized, but it should not be too revolutionary. Too much revolution is close to extremes, and extremes are close to the Communist Party, which becomes "counter-revolutionary".Therefore, the current "revolutionary literature" is between the stubborn counter-revolution and the Communist counter-revolution.

Then the problem arises again, that is, how to keep "revolutionary literature" pure - authentic - standing between these two dangerous things.This will inevitably lead to the need to prevent thoughts and writings that are close to redness, as well as thoughts and writings that may tend to be red in the future.For example, attacking ethics and vernacular, that is, there is a fear of becoming red.Because the communists ignore all old things, and the vernacular began with "New Youth", and "New Youth" was run by Duxiu.Today, seeing the news that the Ministry of Education in Beijing banned vernacular (12), I expected that "Yusi" would have a few words of emotion, but I was really indifferent.I feel that even thoughts and words will be suffocated everywhere, and a few vernacular and black words are no longer of great concern.

So, how about talking about Fengyue and women?It doesn't work either.This is "non-revolutionary". "No revolution" is innocent, but it is wrong! Now in the south, there is only a single-plank bridge of "revolutionary literature" left, so many foreign publications cannot pass through, plop!thump!All fell down. But this state of bluntness, pleasure and nervousness is actually mostly transferred according to the command of the command knife.But at this time, the tip of the knife was still swinging in all directions.After we have a certain direction, maybe it can be better.However, it is only "better", and the inner bones are probably nothing more than suffocation, because this is a congenital inheritance.

Earlier, I happened to see a newspaper scolding Mr. Yu Dafu, (13) saying that an article in his "Flood" (14) had malicious intentions and complimented Hankou.I just went to buy "The Flood" and read it. It was nothing more than saying that the old-fashioned worship of a hero was out of line with the modern trend, and I didn't see any malice.This proves that I am very different from today's young writers because of my blunt vision.Therefore, the inexplicable disappearance of "Yusi" is probably just our own inexplicability, and the censors above are just hypothetical excuses.

As for issues after Issue 145, all of them were received here, and only those in Shanghai were detained.If he was really detained, I think it probably has nothing to do with Mr. Wu. "Down... down... Strictly... Strictly...", although it is his old man's own words, it is somewhat responsible, but many actions are not his hands and feet.In China, all fierce people (this is a common saying in Guangzhou, which can include celebrities, capable people, and rich people) have this kind of fate. No matter what kind of person he is, once he becomes a fierce person, no matter how big or small he is, I think he will always be surrounded by a few people, and he will be surrounded tightly.The result, inside, is to make the fierce man gradually become fatuous, with a tendency to be close to a puppet. On the outside, what others see is not the real person of the villain, but the phantom that has gone through the twists and turns of the besiegers.As for the illusion, it depends on whether the surrounding is a prism, convex or concave.If we have a chance to walk close to a fierce man by chance, we can see how the faces and words and actions of the besiegers at this time are different from those when dealing with other people.When we see a fierce man's confidant outside, he is arrogant and arrogant, and it is easy to think that the fierce man loves such a character.As everyone knows, it is actually absurd.What the fierce man saw was delicate and honest, very cute, he could stutter and blush when chatting.To be honest, even a "sophisticated old man" who is not a sycophant sometimes feels that it is not bad from the sidelines. But at the same time, indiscriminate coercion and excessive flattery also occurred, and unlucky people, publications, plants, and minerals all suffered disasters.But the fierce man probably doesn't know.Anyone who knows a little about Beijing should remember what happened when Yuan Shikai was emperor.To read the daily newspapers, the besiegers even printed newspapers for him to read, and all the people supported him, and the public opinion was unanimously in favor. (15) It was not until Cai Songpo (16) the Yunnan uprising that he yelled, and he didn't even know that he ate more than 20 steamed buns in a row.But this play will also come to an end, and Yuan Gong's dragon rides the guest Yu Tian (17). The besiegers left the fallen tree and went looking for another new fighter. I once wanted to write an article "A New Theory of Encirclement", which first described the method of encirclement, and then discussed the reason why China will always follow the old path. .In the second update, if the fierce men can escape from the siege, 50% of China will be saved.The end is the encirclement and separation method. ——However, I finally couldn't think of a good method, so I haven't dared to write this new theory. Patriots and revolutionary youth fortunately don't think I am lazy in planning, only open catalogs but no articles.I was thinking about it, and I was thinking about it. I thought of two ways, but after thinking about it repeatedly, it was useless.One, it is the fierce person who goes out to see the situation outside by himself, don't "clear the way" first (18).However, even if you don't "clear the way", when you encounter a fierce person, you will probably change the original situation first, and you will never see the real appearance again.Second, it is to meet all kinds of people, not to be surrounded by a certain number of people.However, as time goes by, there is finally a group of victors, and the encirclement force of the final victor is the strongest. In the final analysis, it is still the destiny that has existed since ancient times: the dragon controls the guests in the sky. Things are still like a spiral.But "Yusi" especially hit a wall in the south this year, and it seems to have found a new situation. What is the reason for this?This, I think, is easy to answer. "The revolution has not yet succeeded" is a common catchphrase here.But from my point of view, this seems to have become a modest statement. In the hearts of a large number of people in the rear, it is "the revolution has succeeded" or "is almost successful".Now that he has succeeded or is close to success, and he is a revolutionist, that is, the master of China, he naturally has the right and duty to manage everything.Although publications are trivial, they are naturally under supervision.Those who worry about being close to redness are fine, but speaking of unlucky words can be said to be quite close to "counter-revolutionary", at least, it is very unpleasant.As for "Yusi", every time there is a bad temper that does not want to make fun of, it will inevitably disappear from time to time, and it will catch the ears of the youngest. September fifteenth. ---------------------------------- (1) This article was originally published in Issue No. 154 of "Yusi" Weekly on October 22, 1927. (2) The 147th issue of "Yusi" (September 3, 1927) "Suiganlu" twenty-eight is "Glory" written by Qi Ming.The content is that the 141st issue of "Yusi" published an article "How about Wu Gong", accusing Wu Zhihui of proposing to "purge the party" and massacre dissidents, so he was detained in Nanfang since that issue. (3) "New Life" weekly literary and art magazine, edited and published by Peking University Freshman Press, was first published in December 1926, and it was published until the twenty-first issue in October 1927. (4) "Shen Zhong" literary publication, edited by Shen Zhong Society.Founded in Beijing in October 1925, it was originally a weekly magazine with only ten issues; in August of the following year it was changed to a semi-monthly magazine, and the publication was resumed in February 1934 until the thirty-fourth issue.The main authors are Lin Ruji, Feng Zhi, Chen Weimo, Chen Xianghe, Yang Hui, etc.This refers to the semi-monthly magazine. (5) "Siwen" monthly, a Sinology magazine published in Japan, edited by Setsu Saku, founded in Tokyo in February 1919.The magazine has serialized "Journey to the West Zaju" (non-legendary) since the first issue of the ninth volume in January 1927. "Journey to the West Zaju", the extant title written by Wu Changling in the Yuan Dynasty, was actually written by Yang Na (zi Jingxian) in the late Yuan and early Ming Dynasties, with a total of six volumes.Our country has been lost for a long time. In 1926, the library of the Imperial Household Ministry of Japan found a commentary on the Ming Dynasty Magazine Yang Donglai. (6) "Junshan", a long poem written by Wei Congwu, published in March 1927 by Beijing Weiming Press. (7) Li Jinming, born in Xiangtan, Hunan, is a novelist.It is a collection of his short stories (without the word "collection" in the title), published by Kaiming Bookstore in Shanghai in 1926. (8) This is the cover art of the third and fourth issues (April 30, 1927) of the anti-Communist publication "Doing This Way" (ten days) published by the so-called "Revolutionary Literature Society" in Guangzhou. Both continue to use. (9) Fang Chuanzong's correspondence on raw edge binding, published in the 129th issue of "Yusi" (April 30, 1927).It said that the rough binding is "a cover-up for the shallow content" of the author, but for the readers, "a book with more than 200 pages will suffer the loss of more than ten minutes of cutting", so he opposes the rough binding.It is known from correspondence that he was a librarian at a school in Fujian at that time. (10) Boss Li refers to Li Xiaofeng, the host of Beixin Bookstore. (11) Probably refers to the article "Dongfeng" published in the seventh and eighth joint issue of "Doing This Way" (June 20, 1927), signed by Xiazi. The author said in the "Appendix" at the end of the article: "In the midst of the flames of the revolution, the literature we long for is of course the literature of the revolution, the literature of the common people. It is wrong for my book "Dongfeng" to be published in this revolutionary publication... I hope readers will correct me and forgive me. " (12) The Ministry of Education banned the vernacular. In September 1927, the Ministry of Education of the Beijing Beiyang government issued an order to ban the vernacular, saying that the use of the vernacular was "to let the vernacular be circulated, and the politeness will be mourned." Any lectures and textbooks are not allowed to use the vernacular style anymore, and emphasize uniformity and national studies." (13) Yu Dafu's article attacked by reactionary newspapers refers to "On the Way of Changing Direction" published in the twenty-ninth issue of the third volume of the semi-monthly "Flood" (April 8, 1927).The main purpose of this article is to attack the "heroism of the feudal era" that he believes is "the greatest danger that can destroy our current revolutionary movement (according to the first civil revolutionary war)".There is a paragraph in the article: "In the current world trend, we must know that it is absolutely impossible to instruct and use the people with just one or two heroes. A revolutionary leader who truly understands current affairs , you should never leave the people in one step, take the interests of the people as your interests and the enemies of the people as your enemies, and obey the orders of the people in everything, and obey the orders of the people. Then you just wait and see how long your personal dictatorial high-pressure policy can last." These words were naturally unfavorable to the Chiang Kai-shek counter-revolutionaries at the time, so they were published in the seventh and eighth issues of the reactionary publication "Doing This Way" Mr. Yu Dafu, Mr. Yu Dafu, by the traitor Kong Shengyi! "The article attacked and said: "I did not expect, absolutely did not expect that Mr. Yu Dafu's argument was actually the argument of the Chinese Communist Party attacking our hard-working Comrade Chiang Kai-shek, what heroism, personal dictatorship and high-handed policy"; "Mr. Yu Dafu! Are you now a tool of the Communist Party, or do you want to go to Wuhan to get promoted and make a fortune, and the special envoy is here to support the Communist Party's big feet?" (14) "Flood", one of the publications of the Creation Society, was founded in Shanghai in August 1924. It was originally a weekly magazine with only one issue. It resumed publication in September 1925 and changed to a semi-monthly magazine. It was discontinued until the thirty-sixth issue in December 1927. (15) Yuan Shikai changed the Yuan to "Hong Xian" on January 1, 1916, proclaiming himself the emperor of the "Empire of China", and abolished the imperial system on March 22, a total of 81 days.Regarding his reading of specially printed newspapers, according to Ge Gongzhen’s History of Chinese Newspapers quoted in Hu’an Miscellaneous Notes: “Xiang Cheng (according to Yuan Shikai) read all Shanghai newspapers in Beijing, and Liang Shiyi and Yuan Naikuan first read them. All texts and telegrams against the imperial system are easy to support, and a copy is made every day, and then it is submitted." (16) Cai Songpo (1882-1916), named E, was born in Shaoyang, Hunan.During the Revolution of 1911, he revolted in Kunming and served as the governor of Yunnan.In December 1915, the "National Defense Army" was organized in Yunnan to attack Yuan Shikai.Later died in Japan. (17) Long Yu Shangbin Yutian In the feudal era, the death of the emperor was called "Dragon Yu Shangbin Yutian" (or Dragon Yu Bintian), which means riding a dragon to go. "Historical Records Feng Chan Book": "The Yellow Emperor picked the first mountain copper and cast a tripod under Jingshan Mountain. After the tripod was completed, a dragon with a beard came down to welcome the Yellow Emperor. The Yellow Emperor rode up, and more than 70 people came from the harem of the ministers, and the dragon went up. .” (18) "Qingdao" In the feudal era, emperors and officials came in and out, and ordered to clean the roads and prohibit pedestrians, which was called "Qingdao".
