Chapter 27 evaluate

In 1923, Liu Wendian's "Huinan Honglie Jijie" was published. Hu Shi made an exception and wrote a preface in classical Chinese. There are many unique ones.” Hou Hu also mentioned in his “Changbian History of Medieval Thought”: “This year, Liu Wendian’s Huainan Honglie Jijie is the most complete and most convenient and applicable book. " When Liu Wendian published "Zhuangzi Buzheng", Chen Yinke happily prefaced it, saying: "Mr. It is only a must-read for those who govern Zhuangzi!" Gao Boyu commented on Liu Wendian and said: "Why do I always think of Mr. Liu Wendian? I just appreciate his madness. When Chiang Kai-shek was invincible around 1929, Mr. Liu was just like his teacher Zhang Taiyan who despised Yuan Shikai. Dare to 'hum' him, he is a real celebrity, beyond the reach of Hu Shizhi, Zhu Jiahua and others."

Fu Laisu praised Liu Wendian in "Reminiscences of Mr. Liu Wendian's Teaching" and said: "His profound knowledge and rigorous scholarship are amazing." Liu Wendian's students commented on the teacher: "When it comes to the profound knowledge of Mr. Liu, this young man who is ignorant and inexperienced astonished me even more, like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden. I can't praise it except clapping my hands and sighing." In his later years, Zhou Zuoren recalled Liu Wendian and said: "He is really a master of Chinese studies. It has been a long time since his book "Huinan Honglie Jijie" was published. I don't know what new works will follow, but even that book is enough to show His academic ability is more than enough."

Qian Liqun commented on Liu Wendian: Liu Wendian's "madness" is true.The so-called "crazy" is nothing more than seeing one's own subject as "the best in the world", and one's own position in the subject is very important: if I am not here, this subject will be gone!This kind of arrogance and arrogance of "who can give me nothing" actually shows the academic sense of mission, responsibility and conscious academic commitment. His son Liu Pingzhang talked about his father Liu Wendian: "Compared with Kuang, I think he is quite proud. In comparison, the word Ao is more accurate." "His pride is because he believes that his knowledge can be passed on. The so-called madness is because of arrogance, and arrogance is because of his ability."

Some people commented on Liu Wendian and said: He is a real celebrity who is arrogant.
