Huang Kan went to visit Wang Kaiyun. Wang was the leader of the literary world at that time. He appreciated Huang Kan's poems and essays very much. Sleepy dog!" After hearing the good words, Huang Kan immediately became mad, and he said: "Your old man is still incomprehensible, let alone your son." Around 1908, Chen Duxiu visited Zhang's apartment in Tokyo Minbao, and Qian Xuantong and Huang Kan went to avoid it next door.When Chen and Zhang chatted, they talked about the development of Sinology in the Qing Dynasty. Chen Duxiu listed Dai, Duan, and Wang, most of whom were from Jiangsu and Anhui, and he was quite proud of the people of Jiangsu and Anhui.Afterwards, the topic was changed to Hubei, saying that Hubei did not produce any great scholars.Huang Kan, who was in the next room, jumped out suddenly and asked rhetorically: "Although there are no scholars in Hubei, this is not just mere work; although there are many scholars in Anhui, this may not be a single step." Chen Duxiu left silently after hearing this.

Ten years later, Huang Kan went to Peking University to teach, and Chen Duxiu was the dean of liberal arts at that time. He ran "New Youth" and advocated the new literature movement, which became very popular for a while.Once at Peking University, the disciples of Zhangmen collectively composed poems, chanting ancient and modern celebrities. Chen Duxiu said: "Destroy the Confucius Temple and stop worshiping it." Huang Kan replied: "Everything outside the eight books is bullshit." ", "Zuo Zhuan", "Zhou Li", "Shuowen Jiezi", "Guangyun", "Historical Records", "Hanshu" and "Wenxuan".This sentence was widely circulated. Given Chen's status at the time, he was naturally very unhappy to be ridiculed for no reason, and the two had a deep grudge ever since.

Huang Kan has always been supercilious, and sometimes criticizes his teacher Zhang Taiyan's Confucian classics as "rough!".Once, Ma Yinchu went to see him, and when he talked about "Shuowen", he ignored it completely. When he asked again, he said bluntly: "You should go to work on economics. Primary school is not easy, and you don't understand it!" Huang Kan and Chen Hanzhang, who is known as the "two-legged bookcase", are both professors of Chinese studies at Peking University. Once, the two met and discussed their experiences in "Primary School". ", it is said that at that time, the debate between Huang Kan and Chen Hanzhang was deadlocked.Huang Kan's bold blood suddenly came up!He picked up a cane and handed it to the bewildered Chen, and he jumped out of the door with a short blade, beckoning Chen Hanzhang to go outside for a duel!Later, under the persuasion of colleagues, the duel caused by the academic dispute was ended.However, Huang and Chen "met each other kindly later".

When Huang Kan was teaching at Peking University, he highly regarded Fu Sinian, Gu Jiegang and others, but later Fu and others turned to the "New Youth" camp of Hu Shi and Chen Duxiu.According to Luo Jialun's recollection: "After "New Youth" came out, many students were also affected, such as Fu Sinian, Gu Jiegang and others. Originally, they did very well in Chinese poetry, and Huang Jigang and others also valued them in those days. Everything changed later, so Huang Jigang and others hated them because they turned against the old school. Recently Zhu Jiahua asked Fu Sinian to be the dean of the Central University of Arts, and Huang Jigang was about to resign." So Huang Kan went to Nanjing Central University to teach.

The famous poet Wu Mei is Huang Kan's colleague in the Chinese Literature Department of Central University, and the two have a good relationship.Huang Kan invited Wu Mei to a crab feast one day.The two of them were addicted to alcohol and couldn't control themselves. Suddenly, Wu Mei strongly argued that she was right, but Huang didn't think so.Gai was also drunk at this time, so he slapped him across the face, and Wu Mei also saluted back.The two jumped out of their seats instead, pretending to be a wrestler, and pulled away for their colleagues.After waking up, the two reconciled as before.

Every time a college graduate graduates, it is customary to print an exquisite classmate book, which collects the portraits and resumes of teachers and students into one collection.Printing costs are not low, usually donated by professors.Only Huang Kan didn't take this routine seriously. He neither took pictures nor donated money. When the school records were printed, the school treated them equally and gave Huang Kan a copy as a souvenir.Huang Kan accepted the brochure, but threw it into the river, cursing angrily: "A bunch of idiots, please drink the stinky water!" Published in the classmate book, he was also angry and said: "I am not a prostitute, why use photos? If you don't spare the money, why don't you cast a bronze statue as a souvenir?" His words are enough to make the shy students Stay away.

Not long after Huang Kan and Huang Juying got married, he transferred to Nanjing Central University to teach, and built a house by himself in Jiuhua Village.He has an agreement with the school that there will be no rain, no snow, and no wind. Therefore, he is called "Professor Three No Come".Whenever God expects rain before rain, or snow before snow, students guess whether Huang Kan will come to class. Some people joke that "the weather will not be yellow today", and the joke often comes true. Central University stipulates that teachers and students must wear school badges when entering and leaving the school, but Huang Kan does not wear them.Seeing that the man did not wear a school badge, the guard wanted to see his business card. He said, "I am my business card. Take me." During the dispute, the principal came out to mediate and apologize.

Once, the class bell rang, and the students filled the classroom, waiting for the teacher to start the class.But Huang Kan sat in the teacher's lounge, and didn't have the slightest intention to get up and go to the classroom.The students waited for a while, but when they saw that the teacher hadn't arrived, they hurriedly reported to the Academic Affairs Office.The staff of the Academic Affairs Office knew that Mingshi Huang Kan had lost his temper, and immediately ran to invite him to class, saying: "It's time for class, it's time to go to class." Unexpectedly, Huang Kan looked at the sky and said coldly: "It's time, money It hasn't arrived yet." It turned out that the school did not pay the salary in time, and Huang Kan expressed dissatisfaction.The Academic Affairs Office quickly received his salary on his behalf before he went to the classroom to attend class.

One rainy day, other professors wore rubber shoes to school, but Huang Kan wore spiked shoes. "Skals", also known as "clogs", are made of cowhide soaked in tung oil repeatedly as the upper, thick wood as the sole, and then nailed with iron nails to prevent slipping.These spikes are great for walking on dirt roads in the countryside, but not so good for walking on cement roads in the city.After class, when the sky cleared, Huang Kan changed into his slippers, wrapped the spikes in a newspaper bag and left the school gate.The new doorman didn't know Huang Kan. Seeing that the man was rustic and carrying a bag of things, he stepped forward to question him and wanted to check the paper bag.Huang put down the paper bag and left, and did not go to class for several days after that.The head of the department saw that Professor Huang hadn't arrived at the school for several days and thought he was sick, so he visited him.Huang Ze kept silent, and the head of the department didn't know why, so he hurriedly reported it to the principal.The headmaster personally came to the door and asked again and again. Huang Cai said: "The value of the school is to respect the teachers. Even a pair of spiked shoes of the teacher have to be checked. It is like a body search. What is it? Is it tolerable, which is not tolerable?" The principal apologized repeatedly, and then It is useless to entrust many celebrities to persuade.Huang Kan has since disassociated himself from Central University.

The private Zhonghua University hired Huang Kan as a professor at the school. Huang Kan was a salaried guy who never went to school at all.The students approached the principal, Chen Shi, and said that Mr. Huang Jigang's class was listed in the school timetable. Why didn't we even see his figure in this year's time?Did the school not give him the money?If the school didn't give him the money, we would have to refund our tuition fees, because we paid so much tuition fees because of the well-known Mr. Huang Jigang who taught us.Chen Shi said, I pay him hundreds of dollars in cash every month, why didn't I pay him?There was no way that Chen Shi went to Huang Jigang's home many times to do work and asked him to teach the students.Huang Kan scolded when he went to class: "What kind of animals are you? Do you want me to come to class? When you go out, just slap my brand and say that you are my student. Are you afraid that you won't have enough to eat? Let's see who doesn't send you something to do." ?” This was the only class he took at Zhonghua University.

In 1926, Wuchang Higher Normal School was changed to National Wuchang Sun Yat-Sen University, and Mr. Huang Jigang (Huang Kan) was the acting principal. Because of his fondness for swearing and domineering style, the Ministry of Education officially appointed Mr. Shishi as the principal.At the school affairs meeting on the first day of Mr. Shishi's appointment, Mr. Shishi looked at Mr. Huang Jigang and wondered what to say about Mr. Huang Jigang's previous work.After thinking for a long time, he said: "I heard that Mr. Huang Jigang is more authoritarian in running the school..." Before he finished speaking, Mr. Huang Jigang stood up and said, "I heard that Quartz's mother stole the monk." Quartz immediately scolded him for being so unreasonable, Mr. Huang Jigang said: "I heard about it." He resigned immediately, and later went to Nanjing to be a professor. When Huang Kan went to teach at CUHK, he was still respected at first. Later, Zhu Liu became the principal first, and Zhu Ren was a secret of the Kuomintang, so he had no time to be polite to him. Repeated attempts to persuade him to stay failed, and it was useless for Zhu to come forward to persuade him to stay.Huang Kan wrote to his students: "...But since he has recited his words before, and he has left behind, looking directly at it is like a child's play. What can we do?" ', all living beings who love me should chant for me." During Huang Kan's stay in Nanjing, he ran into Dai Jitao, the dean of the Examination Institute.Dai asked him: "What masterpieces have you produced recently?" Huang replied: "We are currently editing "Selected Works of Darkness", and your masterpiece has already been selected." Coming here means that Dai Ping is not upright in his actions, and the irony is very obvious.Dai Jitao was at a loss, and was too embarrassed to speak for a while.
