Chapter 139 mentor

Zhang Taiyan devoted himself to the revolution, but his teacher Yu Yue was very opposed to it.Later Zhang went to teach at Soochow University in Suzhou and went to visit the teacher. Yu Yue was furious and angrily reprimanded Zhang: "When you hear about traveling in Taiwan, you like to hide. If you don't do imperial examinations, you like to hide. It's Liang Hong and Han Kangke. Entering a foreign land now, carrying the tomb of his parents on his back, is not filial; he sues the evil of captives and poisons the Xia, and writes to others to accuse Cheng Yu, which is unfaithful. Unfilial and loyal are not human beings, and the boy beats the drum and attacks!" Zhang Zhang Dissatisfied, he said to him: "My disciple serves Mr. Jing Jing. Today's Confucian classics have their origins in Gu Ning people. For this reason, Mr. Gu is trying to make people find out the nature of the country and know the different ears of Han captives. How can Liu Yin and Cui Haoqi Later generations?" Then he wrote the article "Thanks to my teacher", saying that he would sever the friendship between teachers and students with Yu Yue from now on.Liu Yusheng recorded in "Shizaitang Miscellaneous Notes": "Zhang Taiyan created the theory of revolutionizing the full, and his teacher, Mr. Deqing Yu Quyuan, disagreed greatly. He said: Quyuan is a disciple. The relationship between life and death. Taiyan concentrated, there is "Xie Benshi" article."

Although Zhang Taiyan fell out with his teacher due to political disagreements, he still respects his teacher very much in his heart.Zhang liked Yuedan characters very much, and he seldom praised them, but he respected his teachers Yu Quyuan and Tan Zhongxiu all his life.Zeng Guofan once said that Yu Yue was just a "student", Zhang Wenzhi was furious, and retorted: "Although Mr. has read a lot of books, he has his own priorities, which is definitely different from his husband who memorizes and memorizes and has nowhere to go!" Jin Xingyao once recorded Zhang Taiyan's defense of his teacher Yu Yue: "One time, somewhere in the West Lake, I was waiting with Liang Qichao. When Liang saw a couplet written by Yu hanging in front of him, he said sarcastically: 'Oh, so it is A pair of partridges!' Zhang heard this and became very angry, so he started to fight."

After Yu Yue's death, Zhang Taiyan personally wrote the "Biography of Mr. Yu". Although there were some criticisms, the whole article was full of respect, saying: "Zhejiang Pu Xue came late...Mr. Changzi." , did not include his "Xie Benshi", but instead included "Biography of Mr. Yu" written in his later years.In this regard, Li Xiaodan praised Zhang Taiyan for respecting his master in "Xinglu Notes".Some people also claimed that Zhang Taiyan thanked his teacher to protect him politically. When Zhang Taiyan visited Hangzhou in his later years, he specially put on long gowns and jackets in the morning, and asked his students Chen Cunren and Zhang Cigong to wear the same clothes, and ordered them to bring incense candles and fruits to "Qulou" to pay tribute to the former residence of his teacher Yu Yue.In front of Qulou, an old woman came to answer the door. Zhang raised his legs and walked inside.The three had no choice but to wait at the door.After waiting for about two hours, Qu Lou opened the door, and a middle-aged man surnamed Lu came out. After Zhang Taiyan explained his intentions, Lu informed Qu Lou that it had already changed hands, and let them enter the building to worship.In front of the hall in spring, Zhang ordered Chen Deng to light incense candles, kneel down three times and kowtow nine times, respecting Yu Yue as before.Lu looked on in a daze.Zhang originally wanted to leave a few words, but because the master had no paper but a pen, Zhang wrote two poems on the wall and left sadly.

Zhang Taiyan once wrote an article "Thanks to my teacher" and severed ties with his teacher Yu Yue.Later, Zhang Taiyan attached himself to Sun Chuanfang, and his student Zhou Zuoren also wrote an article "Thanks to the Teacher", which severed ties with Zhang.During the Anti-Japanese War, Zhou Zuoren joined the rebellion and went into the water as a traitor. Shen Qiwu, his student at Peking University, also wrote "Thanks to the Teacher" and broke up with him. According to Xu Guangping's recollection, because Zhang Taiyan advocated restoring ancient ways, Lu Xun disapproved of it.But when Lu Xun mentioned Zhang, he still respected him very much and always called him "Mr. Taiyan".As for Zhang Taiyan's behavior in his later years, it is also possible to make a fair evaluation - there is criticism, but no respect. On June 14, 1936, Zhang Taiyan passed away; Lu Xun, who was also seriously ill at the time, wrote two consecutive articles on October 6 and October 17, "Two or Three Things About Mr. Taiyan" and "Because of Mr. Taiyan" Two or three things I remember".Two days later, on October 19, Lu Xun passed away.In these two articles, Lu Xun expressed his gratitude to Mr. Taiyan for his positive influence and his appreciation for Mr. Taiyan's significance in the history of revolution.

On June 18, 1933, when Lu Xun mentioned Zhang Taiyan in a letter to Cao Juren, he said: "The ancient teacher's way is too respectful, and I am quite disgusted with it. I think the teacher is ridiculous, so I might as well betray him, but the teacher If you are wronged for no crime, you should not take advantage of the opportunity to throw stones at the enemy to save yourself. Mr. Taiyan once taught me primary school, but later I dared not see him again because I advocated the vernacular. It's not true, but when the Kuomintang wants to confiscate several of his dilapidated houses, I really can't make fun of the authorities. If we meet in the future, I will still be very respectful (and Mr. Taiyan has never been arrogant towards his disciples. , as friendly as a friend), and think that the way of a teacher and brother is enough."

The 93-year-old Yao Dianzhong immediately looked solemn when he mentioned that he was Zhang Taiyan.Yao said that Mr. Zhang Taiyan had very strict requirements on his students and was meticulous, which also laid a good and solid foundation for Yao's future study and teaching.When talking about Mr. Zhang Taiyan's later years, he said that when Mr. Zhang Taiyan was explaining "Shangshu" on the morning of June 14, 1936, he felt chest tightness and languished in the classroom, and he died immediately.At this time, Yao had already burst into tears, sighed and sighed, and stood up suddenly, until he wrote on the desk: "Take honesty as the foundation, take justice as the heart, learn from knowledge, act with courage, and use the world as your goal." " He continued: "This is the portrayal of my teacher Mr. Zhang Taiyan's life, and it is also my motto."
