Chapter 13 praise

In 1920, when Chen Duxiu gave a speech at the Wuhan Higher Normal University, he sighed: "Huang Kan's academics are profound, and it is a pity that he will not use them for our party!" When Zhou Zuoren talked about this elder brother, he was quite critical: "His Chinese studies are among the best, but his eccentricity is in direct proportion to his knowledge. When talking about some things, it is really unflattering." The famous historian Mr. Fan Wenlan said in his "Wen Xin Diao Long Lectures Preface": "I traveled to study in the capital and learned from Mr. Huang Jigang in Qizhou. Mr. Huang taught "Wen Xin Diao Long Notes" twenty The rest of the chapters are full of essence and profound purpose, and they are fully inspiring."

Professor Zhang Ruzhou of Guizhou University recalled the scene when he was studying at Nanjing Central University in the 17th year of the Republic of China and said: "Mr. Huang's lectures on phonology are indeed very unique. tired." On December 17, 1934, Qian Xuantong published the paper "Assumptions on the Pronunciation of the Twenty-Eight Parts of Ancient Rhyme" in the Monthly Journal of Normal University, arguing that on the ancient rhyme "so far, Huang's twenty-eight parts should be the most when". Not long after Huang Kan's death, Qian Xuantong specially wrote an elegiac couplet to express his condolences:

Luo Changpei called Huang Kan and Zhang Taiyan together in the 1940s, and believed that "the study of the ancient sounds of the Zhou and Qin Dynasties originated in the Song Dynasty, flourished in the Qing Dynasty, and Zhang Binglin and Huang Kan are the culmination of predecessors." Cheng Qianfan commented on Huang Kan: "The teacher is one of the masters recognized by the Chinese and foreign academic circles. ... Where is the greatness of the master? ... I think Mr. Ji Gang's knowledge is both broad and professional. Whether you use the classics, History, Zi, Ji, Confucianism, Xuan, Wen, History, or righteousness, textual research, and poems, the teacher not only has extremely rich knowledge, but also has very incisive inventions. His achievements in writing, phonology, and exegesis It's unprecedented..."

The unified view in the academic circle is: Huang Kan died at the age of 50. Although he has not published any works, he is undoubtedly a recognized master of Chinese studies at home and abroad.
