Qian Huafo has become addicted to "playing with paper" and accepts everything, such as letters, cigarette cases, sparks, New Year's cards, invitations, obituaries and so on.There are as many as 10,000 cigarette boxes and more than 100,000 sparks in the collection.During the Anti-Japanese War, after the Japanese army invaded the Shanghai Concession, notices were posted everywhere.Qian Huafo saw the notice during the day, but took the risk to reveal it at night without telling his family.Moisten it with a damp rag before peeling it off, and then gently peel it off to ensure it is intact.Rainy day is the best time to reveal the notice.After so many years, the money was finally saved into a whole set of enemy and puppet notices, which later became an important document for studying the history of the Anti-Japanese War.

Pan Fu, a Beiyang politician, smokes a can (50 sticks) of Sanpaotai every day.This smoke is not smoked immediately after listening to it, but has to go through some tedious reprocessing.His concubines smoked and ground jasmine first, and then started to listen to cigarettes. They took out the shredded tobacco with ear picks, mixed it with dried jasmine powder, and then put it back into the original cigarette.This set of procedures is completely manual operation, which takes a lot of time and effort, and it cannot be done without care.It took Pan's two or three concubines a whole day to get the cigarettes, so Pan never gave up cigarettes to others.

Zhang Shichuan and Zheng Zhengqiu, the two giants of the Star Film Company, are addicted to heavy cigarettes. They often sit together on the same bed, discussing scripts while smoking.Working on a cigarette couch and being productive was a sight in those days. Tang Shaoyi, the first prime minister of the Republic of China, lived in the French Concession in Shanghai in his later years, playing with antiques for fun, and eventually died because of it. On the morning of September 30, 1938, Xie Zhipan, a special agent of the Blue Shirts Society, brought two "antique dealers" and eight antiques to the Tang residence for "selling".Tang Shaoyi was very fond of the goods. While looking at the goods in the living room downstairs, he sent his servants upstairs to withdraw money.At this time, the assassin pretending to be an antique dealer took out a sharp ax and slashed at Tang's head.When the servants arrived, Tang had already collapsed on the sofa, dying, with the ax still embedded in his head, and the assassin had long since disappeared.Tang was rushed to Guangci Hospital for emergency treatment, where he died of excessive blood loss.The result of the investigation afterwards was: Although many people around Tang became traitors, Tang never agreed to take up false positions.

Duan Qirui is good at go and mahjong, and he doesn't hesitate to delay his work because of it.Once when playing cards in the Tianjin house, one of the three was missing, and the family invited Lu Zongyu to come.Afterwards, Duan said to his confidant Deng Hanxiang: "Although playing cards is a game, you can also tell whether a person is good or bad. When Lu played cards, his furtive appearance was annoying. Other people's tickets were placed on the table, but he kept them in his pocket. In it, you can draw it at any time. If someone wins the card, he owes it, which makes others unhappy."

Yu Qiaqing served as the chairman of the Shanghai General Chamber of Commerce.He is very fond of dancing. When he presided over the opening ceremony of a dance hall in his later years, he said: "I can live to be more than seventy years old now, all thanks to the skill of dancing. If you want to be energetic and healthy, you will be happy." Lin Sen has a collection habit. In the summer of 1932, he went to Lushan Mountain to escape the summer heat.One day, several antique dealers delivered goods to the door, and Lin Sen was playing with the room. One of his relatives saw four burly men flying towards the door carrying a rattan sedan chair without a roof. It was Chiang Kai-shek, and he shouted into the room: "The chairman is here." Lin Sen remained calm, still admiring the antiques, and didn't get up until Jiang entered the room, and then got up and led Jiang into the living room.

Although Lin Sen is fond of antiques, he is reluctant to pay high prices, so he collects very few treasures.Antique dealers also know his temper, and only bring some low-end goods to sell. Lin usually pays three to five yuan to buy some.During the Anti-Japanese War, Lin Sen died of illness in Chongqing. After the victory, according to his behest, hundreds of calligraphy, paintings and antiques he collected were exhibited and sold in a painting shop in Huapailou, Nanjing. The proceeds were donated to Minhou Middle School in his hometown. It is said that there were only two pages of them Su Dongpo's handwriting is quite precious.

Chen Tiaoyuan, an Anhui warlord and politician, never stopped eating, drinking, whoring and gambling.He plays mahjong, and if he loses a card, he will use his gambler's skills, that is, every time he plays a card, he secretly brings back a card and sticks it in his hand. .The majestic commander-in-chief of the group army and the chairman of the province repeatedly resorted to sneaky tricks at the poker table. Tang Yulin loves horses and has become addicted. When he was the chairman of Rehe, he would go to the stables whenever he was free, squatting among the horses and smelling the smell of horse manure, and regarded it as a great enjoyment.He also often talks about horses with Wang San, the head of the stable.Some official fans saw the need, first bought Wang San, and when Tang was squatting and smelling the horse manure, he went up and knelt in front of the chairman and begged: "Master! You are so forgetful, you don't know me anymore (in fact, you really don't know me!" ), when you were the battalion commander, I was the squad leader of a certain company and a certain platoon, and today you have been promoted to the chairman, and I have nothing to eat." Wang San took his short hand and chimed in and said, "Chairman! , No, he is your old subordinate, he has been a soldier all his life, and he has no food to eat." Tang then said: "Damn it is really incompetent, how did you get into this!" Then he said: "Call the secretary to come and write Write a letter, go to a certain county to find the county magistrate and ask for an official to do it."

Shang Zhen likes to play polo.He hired foreigners to raise and manage his foreign horses, and the stables were all bungalows.He also hired foreign experts to teach him how to play polo.The 32nd Army where he was the commander had the only polo team in the national army, and he also went to Shanghai to participate in the international polo team competition. After the Japanese invaded and occupied Jiangnan, they found Zeng Yujun, an important figure in the Anfu Department in the Beiyang period, and wanted him to come forward to organize a puppet provisional government in Nanjing.He didn't want to be called a traitor, so after some vague excuses, he recommended Liang Hongzhi, who had been the prime minister of the Beiyang government.The Japanese went to find Liang Hongzhi, and Liang came to discuss with Zeng again, asking Zeng: "Do you think I will do it or not?" Zeng replied: "You have to do it." : "You are different from me. First, you like to talk about pomp and luxury in your life; second, you are lustful; third, you like to play with antiques. All these three things must have a lot of money. You don't Do it, where did you get the money?" Liang Hongzhi became the first chairman of the puppet Nanjing Reform Government.After Liang took office, he wanted to turn around and pull Zeng into the water again, but Zeng had already slipped away and hid in Hong Kong.

Chen Huangmei was born in Shanghai, and when he was young, he lived in the French Concession on Rue Joffre.He is addicted to books, and he visits bookstores when he can't afford them.At that time, Sima Road was the most concentrated area of ​​old and new bookstores in Shanghai, about 5 miles away from Chen's house.Chen Huangmei often goes there, and it takes most of the day to visit.If you go in the morning, eat a bowl of Yangchun noodles or two biscuits at noon, and go home after dark; if you go in the afternoon, buy fried dough sticks and biscuits in the evening, and continue shopping.

In the 1920s, editors of important news in several major newspapers in Shanghai had the bad habit of smoking opium, and they often went to the small smoking hall near Wangping Street to "gather and smoke".The foremen of the newspaper office sent the telegrams or samples to the smokehouse, and these editors often reviewed them by opium lamps.At that time, Shao Lizi had just founded the "Republic of China Daily" and had no news channels, so he often went to the tobacco shop to chat with a group of smokers who were editors. He did not smoke, and his purpose was to get news from them inadvertently.In fact, many of the so-called "Beijing special telegrams" in the "Republic of China Daily" came from the chatter in the tobacco hall.

Cartoonist Ding Cong's father was a fan of Peking Opera.When Ding Cong was in middle school, he often went to the theater with his father to watch plays, or listened to plays on the radio and record player.Ding Cong's voice is not good, so he learned to play the flute after coming and going, and later developed to be able to accompany famous actors in formal performances, and he can also be in sync with famous flute masters, which once made Tian Han and others feel strange.When Ding was in his later years, someone mentioned these things and asked him to perform on the spot. At that time, he hadn't touched the flute for 40 years, and when he played it, he was out of breath. Ding sighed: "After all, he is old. " Shao Xun gambled beautifully, and once concluded: "Zhong Kecheng gambles the most, Zhu Rushan gambles the most, Lu Shaotang gambles the most, Tang Shengzhi gambles the worst, and if you talk about elegant betting, who else can I have?" Jietai Temple, a famous temple in the west of Beijing, used to have a large number of eminent monks, but in the Republic of China, the temple's fortune was in decline, and all the failures were seen.It is an open secret that monks take drugs.Many poor monks became addicted to cigarettes. They often trekked mountains and ridges in the dark at night, going back and forth for dozens of miles to do ceremonies, in exchange for a few cents of economic and trade, regardless of their shabby clothes, hunger and cold, and immediately went to buy white noodles. Li Shutong was versatile in those days, and he was good at painting, music, drama, poetry, calligraphy, gold and stone, and knew everything.After becoming Master Hongyi, he discarded everything and never let go of calligraphy alone, leaving behind countless treasures of calligraphy.Ye Shengtao commented that Master Hongyi's calligraphy is not arrogant, and the artistic conception is implicit beyond the brush and ink, and the more you look at it, the more interesting it is. Wang Jinglu served as the director of the Transportation Department of the Ministry of Military and Political Affairs for more than ten years.After the integration of the military and the government, He Yingqin asked him to serve as the deputy minister of the Ministry of Communications, but he refused to do it. It can be seen that his company is very big and looks like an independent kingdom.The leaders of the traffic department from the king down are all gamblers.During the Anti-Japanese War, prices soared, and at a time when ordinary people were feeling "money tight", Wang and others still gambled wildly all day long.Whether playing "Pai Gow", "Stud" or mahjong, they never gamble in cash, but after the bet is settled once, they will issue a check to clear the account. When Hu Hanmin was governor of Guangdong, Wu Chaoshu was the head of the city hall.Wu is addicted to gambling, especially mahjong. He and a dozen politicians and bureaucrats hold a "literary and wine meeting" every Monday, which is actually a gambling meeting.Every night after gambling wildly, Wu Bu would go directly to the city hall to go to work.Later, he worked as an apartment in Hong Kong, and he still often stayed up all night while rubbing hemp, and finally died of a cerebral hemorrhage due to excessive excitement in 1934. After the big comprador Yong Jianqiu made his fortune, he had expected his son Yong Ding to inherit his father's business and at least keep the property.Yong Dingchen had no intention of doing this, he befriended a bunch of dandies, eating, drinking, whoring, gambling, and doing everything.He used to gamble for three days and nights without rest.One year before Yong Jianqiu's death, Yong Dingchen became addicted to heavy cigarettes and was bedridden to smoke opium every day. After three years, he couldn't stand up, but he still used the phone to contact the stock market to gamble wildly. Zaiyi is good at calligraphy.When I was in Beijing, I wrote Weibei, and then I kept writing Su Dongpo's characters.After being dispatched to the northwest, he must spend his time writing every day.But Zaiyi has a habit of writing, and burns it every time he finishes writing, never leaving pen and ink.When I was in Ganzhou, there was an endless stream of people seeking words from the "Prince" admiringly, but none of them succeeded. Kang Youwei is a fan of pets, including cats, dogs, and goldfish. His family has also raised giant tortoises, seals, Australian kangaroos, peacocks, monkeys, elk, and donkeys. Yuan Shikai's son Yuan Kedu was addicted to alcohol, and he would get drunk every time he drank.Another hobby of his is dancing, and he spends all day on the dance floor.Once Yuan took out a 100-yuan Bank of China note (extremely rare in the market at the time) and asked the dance hall tea server to buy him cigarettes.The cigarette stand couldn't change the change, so the tea servant bought a box with the money, and came back and said to Yuan Kedu: "I can't change such a large banknote, I bought a box for the twelfth master, and you can give it to me when you have some change in the future." ’” Yuan replied immediately with Jiu Jin: “I’ll give you this banknote, I don’t want it anymore!” Tang Enbo has three treasures: cigarettes, cars and horses.He usually smokes and often checks with the adjutant. In 1939, when the Ministry of Tang was stationed in Nanyang, Henan, Sun Lianzhong, commander-in-chief of the Second Army, went to see Tang.Tang confessed to the adjutant chief that Sun Lianzhong should be entertained well, but he specifically told him not to entertain guests with his cigarettes anyway.Those who are familiar with Tang Enbo know that Tang generally does not give up cigarettes to guests, but he has to smoke his own cigarettes when he comes to Tang's residence. In 1946, Rong Desheng was kidnapped by gangsters, and the Rong family spent 300,000 yuan to redeem the ticket.Soon after Mao Sen cracked the case, Rong gave Tang a luxury car. Tang's wife Wang Jingbai said to others: "Rong Desheng gave Lao Tang a car. It is very beautiful. It has both an air conditioner and a radio." Although Zhang Lingfu is a soldier, he likes to play with words and ink, and is arty.He has a lot of antique calligraphy and paintings in his possession, including a clay pot, which is said to have been used by Yang Jiaoshan in the Ming Dynasty. Chen Bulei cannot live without two things: cigarettes and sleeping pills.This probably has something to do with his occupation.In the early days of the Anti-Japanese War, Chongqing's supply was tight, and Du Yuesheng often brought him three or five brand cigarettes and sleeping pills from Hong Kong. Soong Meiling likes to play bridge, and her regular poker friends include Wei Daoming and Zheng Yuxiu, and Soong Ailing often participates. Zheng Bozhao, the comprador of the British American Tobacco Company, has nothing else to do in his life, and his only pleasure is making plans.Every day after dinner, he opened the cash box in the bedroom, took out more than thirty passbooks, and used the abacus to check how much money was added that day.In the Yongtaihe foreign company where he works, the employees can hear the crisp, loud and fluent sound of abacus from the manager's office all day long, all day long, but they just don't understand why Zheng Bozhao has so many accounts to settle. In the late 1920s, Xu Jie and his girl He Xianwen went to study in Nanyang on the same boat.He was addicted to cigarettes. He once bought a can of 50 cigarettes for one yuan on the boat.Xu Jie couldn't understand at the time that he usually spent three yuan for a month, but she spent one yuan for a can of cigarettes.However, the two eventually became husband and wife and lived together for decades. On the afternoon of June 26, 1932, Lu Xun's family went to Shanghai Baxianqiao YMCA to visit the "Spring Land Painting Exhibition".The work Ai Qing sent for the exhibition was an abstract drawing torn from a notebook. Lu Xun walked up to the drawing, stopped for a moment, and asked, "Is this the original or a copy?" Ai Qing replied, "It is the original." Lu Xun Said: "If it is the original work, forget it." Lu Xun has a hobby of collecting art works, especially prints. Obviously, if it is a reproduction, Lu Xun intends to buy it.Ai Qing later regretted not giving the work to Lu Xun. Lao She likes to listen to Peking Opera and can sing. In 1944, sixty or seventy people had dinner at Guo Moruo's home in Chongqing to celebrate his 30th anniversary of creation.During the dinner, Mei Yiqi told a joke drunkenly, while Lao She sang three sections of Beijing opera in one breath, and he sang the old students of the Gong (Yunfu) school. Liang Qichao said: "Only playing mahjong can make me forget about reading, and only reading can make me forget playing mahjong." In the early days of the Republic of China, most of the generals of the Yunnan Army were addicted to opium.Fan Shisheng once recalled that when they were lying on the smoking couch, if their subordinates came to report that "the generalissimo (Sun Yat-sen) is coming", they put away their pipes and went out to greet them.If Tan Yankai or Hu Hanmin came, they would sit up from the couch.If Chiang Kai-shek came, they would continue to smoke without even sitting up. After Huang Shaohong became Guangxi's "second-in-command" (second only to Li Zongren), his private life became increasingly decadent, and he often slipped away even during meetings and political meetings.Li Zongren advised him to quit smoking, and he replied: "Mr. De, how can I quit smoking? Life is too depressing!" Later, with the help of Li Zongren and others, Huang Shaohong married a caring wife. , Destroyed several sets of extremely exquisite and expensive opium smoking sets to show his determination to be a new man.It is said that during the period of quitting smoking, Huang resolutely refused to use western medicine and endured a period of extremely painful days. After a month, he completely recovered from addiction. Yan Fu became addicted to opium when he was young. Li Hongzhang once advised him: "You are like a team player. It would be a pity to smoke! From now on, you should look up to my will and find a way to get rid of it." But throughout his life, Yan Fu did not "" Instead, he smoked more vigorously, usually three times a day, and smoked very carefully. He had to buy high-quality tobacco paste from Shanghai. There was no lack of instructions in his family letters to his wife to buy cigarettes from Shanghai. Ointment records. In 1919, Yan Fu, who had already entered the twilight years of his life, wrote: "As an old man, he no longer takes opium, his muscles are sore, and he can't let it go. The truth, if you have this trouble, if you know it early, even though it is called an elixir, I will not get close to it. I would like to send a message to all men, women, young and strong people in the world, opium must not be close. If there are devils in the world, then these things are ears. If I say it, it can be done A book, too.” Such poignant words are the lessons of a lifetime. Mayor Shu Xin lived in a water town and loved rowing since he was a child.Later, he lived in Shanghai and became a publisher. This hobby was gradually neglected due to limited conditions. In October 1934, Shu Xincheng and his wife went to Qingyang Port on the outskirts of Suzhou for the weekend.In front of the hotel is a river with a width of several tens of feet and extremely clear water.The hotel has a sharp-bottomed boat with shanks on the oars, which can be used for sitting and exerting force.After they checked in at 10 o'clock in the morning, they rented a boat for an hour at 11 o'clock, rowed for another two hours at 3 o'clock in the afternoon, and rowed for another hour at 8 o'clock in the evening.Three strokes a day is considered to have passed the boating addiction.Go out during the day the next day, come back and paddle for a while after dinner.In the afternoon of the third day, we paddled for another half day, and went deep into Xiaogang to visit water villages.The two felt very good about this trip, and immediately agreed to save 10 yuan of wages each month, which would be specially used for rowing here in the future. Ah Ying is a bibliophile and has a great addiction to reading books. When she lived in Shanghai, she often went to Suzhou to buy books. Ah Ying usually takes the express train from the North Station in the early morning and arrives in Suzhou more than an hour later. Once she settles in, she hires a car to go to the Inspectorate in the city, which is a place where there are many second-hand bookstores.Aying once listed the shops he entered and exited in turn: Literature Shanfang, Songshizhai, Cunguzhai, Laiqing Pavilion, Shicunlu, Juemin Bookstore, Yiyun Pavilion, Baoguzhai, Lingfen Pavilion, Integration, Qin Yi, Linlang Pavilion, Zhengu Zhai, Appreciation Zhai, all the way to visit books to Yinma Bridge.So far, it has been consumed all morning.At noon, go to Xiyuan Congee Shop or Xuanmiaoguan to have something to eat.In the afternoon, start from the bookstall in Guanqian Street, turn into Niujiaobang, and then return to the back of the temple, hire a car and enter Niudong Street to visit the old store of Jinge.Then turn into Dahua Bookstore, rest at the owner's house for a while, and then go to Luqiufang Lane to read.Finally, visit the new bookstall in front of Xuanmiao Temple. After walking around this big circle, it was already sunset.Ah Ying returned to the hotel with the old books she had harvested. After a short rest, she went to a Shanghai porridge restaurant for dinner.Generally, you want a pot of live shrimp, the same dish, and a bowl of rice.After dinner, stroll around the street and return to the hotel.The next step is to flip through the books under the lamp. When you encounter a good work, you often read it in one go until you fall asleep soundly. Chen Qun was the Minister of the Interior of the Wang Puppet Regime and the Governor of Jiangsu Province.When Nanjing fell, the streets were full of old books, and no one cared about them.Chen Qun started to collect books at this time, and collected no less than a million volumes.Among them, he hid more than 100,000 of the most exquisite books at home, playing and admiring them from time to time.When the Anti-Japanese War was victorious, he sorted out all his family collections, cataloged them, and wrote hundreds of suicide notes before committing suicide by taking medicine.The bibliophile Huang Shang said that Chen Qun "has a special style among the traitors, and he can also be said to be a freak." Yuan Kewen, the son of Yuan Shikai, learned from Yan Fansun, one of the four great calligraphers in Tianjin, and obtained his true biography.One of the unique features of Yuan Kewen's writing is that he does not need a table, hangs the paper in the air, and has two ends held by people. He swipes on it, and the pen is powerful without damage to the paper, which is difficult for ordinary calligraphers to do.The same is true of his writing small characters, often lying on his back on the cigarette couch, holding paper in one hand and writing in the other, writing out of thin air without any distortion, which is really amazing.At that time, various tabloids and publications in Shanghai invited him to inscribe his name.One time, an author named Tao Hancui asked Yuan to inscribe the cover of his work "Amorous History of the Republic of China", and Yuan got it right away.After the novel was published, the author gave him a copy.After Yuan glanced at it, he suddenly felt regretful. It turns out that there are many contents in the book that scolded his father Yuan Shikai.From then on, Yuan acted cautiously and did not dare to socialize lightly. When Li Shutong was young, he raised many cats.After he went to study in Japan, he sent a special telegram home to ask if the cat was safe. Zhou Youguang, Zhang Yun and their couple all like to listen to music, but their preferences are quite different.Zhou Youguang likes Western music, while Zhang Yunhe likes ancient Chinese music.In the late 1920s, when the two fell in love, Zhou Youguang often invited Zhang Yunhe to listen to Beethoven’s symphony in the French Garden of the French Concession in Shanghai in the summer. One silver dollar.Often lying down, Zhang Yunhe fell asleep. Feng Zikai wrote in 1933: "I still read a few pages of books and write a few hours of manuscripts every day to make ends meet. Half a can of Meili brand cigarettes, eat some candy, buy some toys to play with the children." 40 years later, Feng Zikai died of lung cancer. The mathematician Lu Zhuren is very addicted to cigarettes. When he was teaching at Tsinghua University, he could smoke a pack for half an hour while chatting with others.His dormitory was filled with smoke all day long, and no one could get in. Even with the windows open, the smell of smoke could spread ten meters away. In the first month of a certain year, Peking University professors Zhou Zuoren, Ma Heng, and Qian Xuantong were visiting Changdian and ran into Li Zihe and Zhang Fengju. Li showed Ma Heng the stamp of "Soy Sauce Qingtian" that he had just bought at a high price.Ma was already a little dazzled at that time, so he took the stone a little farther to look at it, and said bluntly: "Xibei, Xibei!" (meaning fake) Zhu Xizu, a professor at Peking University, likes old books, and his ability to collect old books is so good that many booksellers can't get him.He has a big beard, and there is no second-hand bookstore in Liulichang who doesn't know "Zhu beard". Xu Xu once wrote an article titled "On Tobacco". The first sentence is: "Smoke is cute!" I like 'tide smoke', 'paper cigarette', 'cigar', 'pipe tobacco', 'opium' and so on. I love listening to Jiangnan elders blowing dry smoke and telling stories about long hair in the winter sun; Beside the fields, I listen to the research of field affairs in the smoke of farmers; as for the smoke of cigarettes, cigars, and pipes in the room, talking about unsystematic feelings with teachers, friends and lovers is of course my favorite thing; It is also my favorite thing to listen to or talk about some profound issues in opium." "It is not appropriate to smoke a certain type of cigarettes, but to smoke all kinds of cigarettes at the right time, and distribute them according to ordinary life. Drink water, smoke paper cigarettes when you go out, smoke cigars after lunch, dry tobacco after dinner, smoke opium once on Sunday, and smoke damp cigarettes when you go out to play in the fields.” Liu Bannong's hobby is taking pictures.It is said that among non-professional photographers, his accomplishments ranked first, and he once wrote the book "Ban Nong Tan Ying Ying". In the 1930s, Liu Wendian was the dean of the Department of Chinese Language and Literature at Tsinghua University, and concurrently taught at Peking University.During the Anti-Japanese War, he served as a professor of Southwest Associated University.After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, Southwest Associated University disbanded, and when the professors "returned to their respective homes", Liu stayed in Yunnan.It is said that this is because he was reluctant to part with Yuntu (smoke soil) and Yuntu (ham), and thus got the nickname "Eryun Layman". Zhang Boju, one of the "Four Sons of the Republic of China", has a wide range of interests.Collecting is his top hobby. In addition, according to Zhang Zhongxing, he also has other interests: "He likes Go. My neighbor Cui Yunzhi (the third dan of Go, and the fourth dan in his later years) taught him for many years. It is said that his attainment is not high. There is still a long way to go before the first stage. He also likes Peking Opera. He learns from old students. He doesn’t sing very well, and the volume is too low, but the teacher is great. He is the famous Yu School founder Yu Shuyan. He also likes Guqin. I don’t know if there is a famous teacher... He likes calligraphy and often writes. I’ve seen calligraphy before. , I seem to have seen his collection of words in someone's study, but I can't remember the exact situation. He can also compose poems. My friend Cai Jun told me that he once saw a copy of "Hong Xian's Chronicle Poems". The continuation poems were written by Zhang Boju. In short, he is a character who came out of the splendor and is not completely sensual." Shanghai writer Zhao Jingshen once liked to watch movies adapted from famous novels, sometimes several times a day.He also arranged these kinds of movie manuals by the first letter of the author's name, and put them in a handout folder, and saved more than one hundred copies.He once admitted that the original intention of watching this kind of movie was to be lazy, thinking that after watching the movie, he would not need to read the original work, and later said with emotion: "How can this work?" The poet Zhu Xiang is addicted to cigarettes. Even in the winter, he still smokes a tin (50 sticks) of Platinum Longyan even though he has to make a living as a robe. Drama historian Zhou Yibai likes to collect art in the industry.He put a Facebook cigarette label in his photo album, with a total of 100 numbers, and there are many of them.He also posted Sichuan Gaoqiang's script, Liu Baoquan and Shan Yaodan's secret script Dagu, "Anti-Golden Soldiers" and "Wicaiyu" on the account books and obituaries. Zhao Jingshen said: "I have a habit. I often like what my friends like. Naturally, this is limited to my own scope. Although it is still my own habit, if I don't have friends, I may be put on hold; if my friends like it, I will be interested. It’s full. For example, my friend Tiaofu likes Tanci, and I also like it for a while; now he’s cold, and I’m cold with him.” Xu Tiaofu is fond of Kunqu opera, but he is not a fan.He has watched every one of the hundreds of Kunqu operas performed by Xianni Club.He also compiled a "Repertoire Index" for Xianni Society, noting in detail the music score, which volume and volume it is in. Scholar Xiong Foxi likes orchids, and he cultivates them well. He can use one pot of orchids to multiply into dozens of pots.His experience was not to water too much, but to spray clouds; to dig a small hole in the soil and pour sesame oil in to prevent insect infestation.The bear was so obsessed with it that he even thought about being a gardener or gardener in his life. Scholar Akikawashima enjoys collecting banknotes.The numbers are arranged sequentially or in reverse order or in regular order.Deeply influenced by it, Zhao Jing once collected banknotes, all of which were new one hundred in bundles, but when money was tight, he spent them again, so it was never a success.Zhao Jizang's paper hobbies are very mixed. For example, he has never smoked a cigarette in his life, and he still has a lot of cigarette labels in his later years; he collects letters, wedding invitations, business cards, New Year's cards, play lists and even obituaries. Cao Juren has a unique feature in his life. He said: "Even in my life, I have never smoked, drank, or played cards. This is what my lover knows; but I can distinguish the quality of tobacco leaves. , the superiority of the first leaf and the second leaf, the similarities and differences in the dispensing of cigarettes, I believe that friends who have smoked for a lifetime may not have half of my knowledge... I know how to ferment, how to cook, how to dispense medicine, how to cook wine, and the quality of wine. , even Deng Sanweng (Deng Sanmu), a poet and a drinker, can only make me talk. I never gamble, but I am a person who studies the law of probability." Yu Pingbo loves Kunqu Opera very much.When Yu was teaching at Tsinghua University, his family hired a flute player.After school or on holidays, he would carry a basket with flute scores, thermos, teacups, etc., and go to the ruins of the Old Summer Palace behind the school with his wife and flute master to play and sing, often for a whole day.When the weather is bad, they sing at home, sometimes until midnight.Zhang Zhongxing recalled: "I remember one summer in the early 1930s, I visited Biyun Temple with two or three friends, and saw Mr. Yu, Mrs. Xu, and two others sitting around the tea table singing Kunqu opera in the water spring courtyard." Yu Pingbo's 1933 In his diary, there are records of him singing Kunqu opera accompanied by Yu Zhenfei playing the flute, which shows his high attainments in Kunqu opera. Zhou Zuoren said: I don't smoke, and I use the time of smoking to read to relieve my boredom.Lin Yutang never took his mouth off his pipe, and wrote an article praising smoking in his editor-in-chief. The copyright of the sentence "A cigarette after a meal is better than a living god" belongs to Lin Yutang. Ye Lingfeng collects second-hand books, so she naturally likes to visit second-hand bookstores.He said: "In second-hand bookstores, you can not only buy new books that you missed the opportunity in the new bookstore earlier, or did not buy because the price was too high, but also many unexpected discoveries; A good book for a long time, a masterpiece that you have been famous for a long time, and a rare book that you never thought that there would be such a book in the world." He once bought it in a second-hand bookstore named Tianfuji on Beisichuan Road, Shanghai. It cost a total of 1.4 yuan for a copy of "Ulysys" in the Paris edition and a copy of "The Garden of Fragrance" on rough-edged paper kept in a pillowcase.The boss drank too much that day. At the price at that time, the former was worth ten dollars, and the latter was more than 100 francs. Shao Xunmei is a philatelist and has several expensive stamps in her hand.One is a dragon ticket, which is extremely precious; the other is a trial-produced stamp in the early Republic of China, with a spaceship as a pattern, which was designed by Sun Yat-sen himself. In 1943, Shao Zengwei's article was published in the National Quintessence Post, which immediately attracted the special attention of experts. Xu Lingxiao is a reporter as famous as Shao Piaoping.He loves Peking Opera, not only because he appreciates it, but also because he has great insight into Peking Opera.For example, he believes that Peking Opera is a strict musical drama, singing is a song, and Daobai is also a song, and it is even more difficult to sing well. There is a saying among experts that "a thousand catties of Daobai are sung twice".Every move on the Peking Opera stage is all dance, and it has to be in sync with the music.Another example is that he believes that the expression form of Peking Opera is abstract and generally does not use sets.When the whip is raised, the horse is galloped.Any setting on the Peking Opera stage will limit or even destroy the plot. Zhu Ziqing learned to play bridge at Yu Pingbo's house, and became addicted for a while.Every time I finish playing cards, I regret wasting my time. When Lu Xun lived in the Shaoxing Guild Hall in Beijing, he once spent his days copying ancient steles.Once when Zhang Yiping visited Lu Xun and saw him copying Epitaph of the Six Dynasties, she asked him the purpose of copying. Lu Xun replied, "It's just like eating opium." Qu Qiubai is versatile and has a wide range of hobbies, one of which is seal cutting.Mao Dun once recalled an interesting incident: "On the day before Zheng Zhenduo and Gao Junzhen's wedding ceremony, Zheng Zhenduo discovered that his mother did not have a ready-made seal (according to the civilized marriage ceremony at that time, the marriage certificate must be stamped by the officiant, that is, the parents of both parties. , the seals of the introducer and the bride and groom), he wrote to ask Qu Qiubai to engrave one on his behalf. Unexpectedly, Qiubai's reply was a temporary "Qiubai Seal Carving Runge", which opened inwardly: each character of the stone stamp is two yuan, Pick up within seven days; if it is urgent, you can pick up within a limited day, and the Runge will be doubled; the side payment does not count the number of words, and the general charge is two yuan. Teeth stamps, product stamps, bronze medals, and silver medals are discussed separately. Zheng Zhenduo saw that Qiubai was busy He knew that I could also engrave a seal, so he turned to me. It was the eve of the wedding ceremony, so I started engraving it overnight. The next morning, I sent the newly engraved seal to Zheng Zhenduo Suddenly, Qu Qiubai sent someone to send a red paper bag with the big book "Congratulations fifty yuan". Zheng Zhenduo was saying: "Why send such a heavy gift!" I opened the paper bag and saw that there were three stamps , one belonged to Zheng Mu, and the other two belonged to Zheng Zhenduo and Gao Junzhen. The two chapters of Zheng and Gao were combined into a pair, and the word "Changle" was engraved on the edge (because Zheng and Gao were both from Changle County, Fujian Province), each chapter Each accounted for one word, which is intended to be a pun. I calculated: Runge doubled, and the side payment was two yuan, which happened to be fifty yuan. This joke was unexpected, and Zheng Zhenduo and I couldn't help laughing. Naturally, I engraved Put away that seal, Qu Qiubai's seal cutting is ten times better than mine." In the 1920s, Fu Donghua, the editor of the Commercial Press, had an addiction to "roulette" once or twice a year.At that time, he would first lose all the cash at home, then send his wife's jewelry, clothes and his own clothes to the pawn shop, and finally borrow money from colleagues, friends and everyone he knew under various excuses, ranging from one yuan to a hundred yuan.He lost so much that he could no longer speak to his colleagues and friends. He slept at home for a day or two, and his gambling addiction was over.So he began to work hard to translate books to earn money. When he got the money, he first paid off his debts, and then went to the pawnshop to redeem jewelry, clothes, etc.Gradually, when I had some savings on hand, it was time to commit gambling addiction again. After the scholar Luo Ergang followed Hu Shi to Peiping, he developed a hobby of visiting books, which he thought "became the most interesting life".When I first entered Peking University, my monthly salary was only 60 yuan, and I had to write manuscripts to earn extra money to supplement my family.Later, his salary rose to 130 yuan, but he still lived on 90 yuan a month. With more money in his pocket, he went to Liulichang, Longfu Temple, Hair Alley, Dong'an Market and other places to shop at book stalls. Before the Anti-Japanese War, when Hu Shi lived in the Beiping Rice Grain Depot, he got off work at 6 o'clock every night and returned home at 11 o'clock.This time is the happiest time of his day.Luo Ergang said: "He doesn't play mahjong, dance, watch movies, or listen to Beijing opera. What does he do for entertainment? He likes to talk, so his entertainment is talking." Lu Xun smoked two or three packs of cigarettes every day. After an illness in 1925, the doctor gave Lu Xun some warnings. In a letter to his friend Xu Qinwen, Lu Xun said: "The doctor forbids drinking, but that's nothing; forbids working, but you have to do a little; forbids smoking, it is extremely bitter." Well, I think so, it would be better to be sick." 11 years later, Lu Xun died of lung disease. Qian Mu said: "I like to play the flute, and when I am lonely, I often use the flute to amuse myself. At that time, Cheng Xiaoqing and Zhou Shoujuan met to quit smoking.When addicted to smoking, tangerine peel plums and spiced beans are used instead of cigarettes.Suddenly one day Bao Tianxiao sent two cans of 35 brand cigarettes to each of them from Hong Kong.After a fierce ideological struggle, the two finally failed to resist the temptation and relapsed.Some people commented afterwards: "It is fascinating, it is the true color of cigarettes, and Bao Gong can be said to be a man who does things for things." Scholar Pan Guangdan said: "In addition to collecting books, I only like traveling. In Shanghai, the Youth Association invited me to give lectures in various places. In Yunnan, I always go outside every summer vacation." Pan loves books all his life, 1926 In 1999, when he returned from studying in the United States, when he got off the ship in Shanghai, he only had one yuan in his pocket, which was not enough to pay for the transportation back home, because he had spent all the money on books before returning home. Yang Xingfo likes to ride horses. When he was the director-general of Academia Sinica, he raised two horses on Daxi Road in Shanghai.Every Sunday, he would drive for a trip, and then ride a horse for an hour or two along Daxi Road and Zhongshan Road. During the "May 4th" period, the workers in the Tangshan coal factory were around 8000 to 9000. Their daily wages were 2 cents and their monthly salary was 6 yuan.They often work hard, rushing to finish the two-week work in one week, and go out to eat, drink and gamble in the rest of the week.Li Dazhao analyzed: "Because they are too ignorant, apart from whoring, gambling, drinking and meat, they don't know that there are relatively noble entertainment methods that can comfort their hard work." When Gu Jiegang was studying at Peking University, he liked to go to the theater garden. If he had money, he would go to Guanghe Garden, Zhonghe Garden, Tianyuan Garden, Guangde Building and other places to listen to operas.He took a break from school for half a year, during which time he spent almost every day in the theater. 梁实秋说:“麻将一道要推太太小姐们最为擅长。”他曾听说某太太有接连三天三夜不离开牌桌的纪录,后来身心近于崩溃,吃什么吐什么。他还认识一个太太,每天午后二时一切准备就绪,然后呼朋引类,一直打到深夜。梁实秋的朋友卢冀野和她多次交手,曾说:“国民政府于各部会之外应再添设一个'俱乐部',其中设麻将司,司长一职非这位太太莫属。” 画家颜文樑少时喜欢吹军号,其父生性好静,对他的这个爱好颇为反感,不许他在家吹,颜便爬到屋顶上照样吹。 徐悲鸿喜欢石头。他在中央大学艺术系任教时,常去雨花台和夫子庙淘石头。某日,友人潘稚亮到南京去徐家探访,看中了一枚雨花石,就当面向徐索讨,徐笑而不答,潘知道徐不肯割爱,也就算了。潘回乡后不久,收到了徐悲鸿的一封信:“我一生磊落,所有无不可与人共之,所不可共者,惟拙荆与此石耳!公有请,亦未能峻拒,姑以拙作《松鹤图》奉贻可乎?”徐悲鸿还在画上题诗一首:“云表藏踪迹,苍松冰雪姿。清风明月夜,一唳动人思。” 上世纪30年代,留美女学者俞庆棠曾问梁漱溟有什么爱好,梁答:我的爱好是思考问题。他曾说:“思想就是消遣,工作不是负担。” 沈钧儒喜欢石头,家中辟有“与石居”。 程瑶笙某日去上海五马路古玩市场闲逛,看见一块三四尺高的供石,玲珑剔透,爱不罢手,一时竟不肯离去。索价时,古玩商看透了程的心思,报以高价,程照价买下,雇人力车运回,自己则步行扶护。自此,程每天对着这块石头凝视出神。几天后,吴昌硕来访,问这石头的来历,程一一作答。吴说:“这好东西应当大家玩玩。”说着就到街口雇来一辆车,连人带石一起运走了。程瑶笙虽不愿割爱,却不敢在吴面前说个不字。直到吴昌硕搬家,才把石头归还,程终获完璧归赵,一再抚摸,好像久别重逢的亲人那样。 作家郑逸梅也好“玩纸”,尤喜收藏书札。他回忆说:“当时环境愈恶劣,生活愈困苦,那就爱好更酷。为衣食奔走了一天,很疲乏的回寓,总是荧然一灯,出所藏尺牍,展玩一番,这时已夜深人静,更觉精神贯注,万虑俱蠲。猛抬头见时钟已指向12时,才自己对自己说:明天一清早要赶学校上第一课,可以睡息了!才脱了衣,胡乱地往被窝里一钻,不一会,便酣然入梦了。” 地质学家李四光的业余爱好之一是音乐。1920年,他在巴黎用随身携带的一张八开12行五线谱纸谱写了一首小提琴曲——《行路难》,这是中国人创作的第一首小提琴曲,曲调如曲名,低沉的主调中带着高亢的强音。李回国后曾请音乐家萧友梅过目提意见。这首提琴曲写于20年代,在近八十年之后的北大百年校庆的纪念晚会上,第一次公开演奏。它的面世修正了马思聪是中国最早的小提琴曲作者的说法。 学者和诗人刘大白是围棋高手。他是曹聚仁的老师,家里有一副日本棋子及棋盘。曹聚仁回忆:“我和他下棋,一心想多吃他几个子,在紧要关头,他偏不让我吃;有时,我的棋子快死了,他又放开我一路,让我去救活来,他不让我赢,也不让我输得太多,他是应付得有分有寸,显得他的世故很深,决不是我们所能测其高深的。”
