State Prime Minister Zhao Bingjun read the sacrificial text on behalf of Yuan Shikai. He only said a few words, "The time will start, the country will change, the imperial system will end, and the people will see you." Recalling the founding process of the Republic of China, it affirms the contribution of the martyrs to end the imperial system, and hardly mentions the Revolution of 1911.

⊙ On September 13, 1912, Yu Youren, the president of "Minli Daily", mentioned the dispute between Sun Yat-sen and Song Jiaoren in the Tongmenghui in the article "Answer to a certain gentleman": "Today, the party is hoarse and has a swollen mouth. , Struggle endlessly... Unexpectedly, when the Nanjing government was in power, a certain type of people in our party took the old hatred and attacked desperately, claiming that Song must be expelled from the League. Because he opposed Song Jun, the Prime Minister was abolished. Since the Song Dynasty After the Chief of Internal Affairs failed to pass the approval, my younger brother saw Zhongshan and said that the government was first established, why bother to split the League first, and Zhongshan said that I should reconcile. Later, the Song Dynasty became the director of the system, and it was also precarious. Because of the members of the Song Dynasty, he then affect me."

May you feel at ease and respect yourself.” A week later, Lu Xun left Badaowan.

⊙Some people say that the "Sanlv University" in Qian Zhongshu's book alludes to the Southwest Associated University where Qian once taught, and Gao Songnian in the book alludes to Chen Futian, director of the Department of Foreign Languages, and Wu Mi, professor of the Department of Foreign Languages.Wu Zeng was Qian's teacher, so the two turned against each other.The prototype of the poet Cao Yuanlang in the book is Ye Gongchao.Several years later, when someone asked Ye Gongchao about Qian Zhongshu's situation at the United Nations University, Ye Gongchao replied that he did not remember that Qian Zhongshu ever taught there.

⊙Zeng Guofan is a "Westernization School", but he still has the traditional sentiments of scholar-bureaucrats in his bones. In 1872, he wrote in his diary: "My wife is dying of illness, and my sons and daughters ask foreigners for consultation, and I listen to them because of something wrong." This shows the inner conflict at that time. ⊙When Jiang Baili graduated from the Japanese Army Non-commissioned Officer Academy, he ranked first in the school. The Japanese Emperor presented him with a saber, which made the Japanese students who had always looked down on the Chinese very annoyed.

⊙Huang Kan opposed the vernacular written by Hu Shi.Once in a lecture, he praised the brilliance of classical Chinese. For example, he said: "If Hu Shi's wife dies, his family telegram will say: 'Your wife is dead! Come back quickly!' It is eleven characters long. In classical Chinese, only Just need the words 'wife bereaved and return as soon as possible', and you can save two-thirds of the telegraph fee." ⊙In 1913, Yuan Shikai took office as the official president. In the "Declaration of Appointment", which was more than 10,000 characters long, Yuan mentioned only a few words about the Revolution of 1911, saying, "The Wuchang incident was forced by the current situation and bore the brunt ", using the spring and autumn style of writing, briefly outlined the process of myself from the Wuchang Uprising to the interim president.

⊙Qiao Jun, the minister of the school, asked Gu Hongming: "Your arguments are all kingly ways, but why can't they be implemented today?" Gu replied: "There are only two ways in the world, either the way of kings or the way of bastards. What Mencius said : 'Dao benevolence, benevolence and non-benevolence are nothing more than that.'" ⊙Liu Wendian went to see Chiang Kai-shek, wearing a top hat and a long gown, strode into Lao Jiang's office with his head held high.When Lao Jiang saw this, he looked angry and asked, "Are you Liu Wendian?" Hearing Jiang's impoliteness, Liu Wendian blurted out: "The name is Shuya, Wendian is only called by parents and elders, not just anyone. .”

⊙Chen Qimei was so beautiful that he once proposed to Tao Chengzhang to share with him some of the donations from overseas Chinese brought back from Nanyang.Tao Yan refused, saying: "You are a prostitute, Shanghai has enough money for you. My money is for the revolutionary comrades in Zhejiang, not for your prostitution." ⊙When responding to the military trial of the 21st Division "Taishun" mutiny, Liu Zhennian said: "The whole battalion mutinied, of course the battalion commander should bear the main responsibility, and the regimental commander and brigade commander should also bear certain responsibilities. You said you want me to be a division commander I also take responsibility, I have nothing to say. But if I go further, I am the direct subordinate of the chairman, so Mr. Jiang should also take his own responsibility!" The judge rolled his eyes when he heard this.

⊙Chen Sanyuan didn't like others calling him "Xijiang School", so he said to Hu Xiangdong: "People say my poems are from Xijiang School, but in fact I never read Xijiang School's poems before I was 40 years old. , What an injustice!" Hu said to him: "People still say that my poems are learned from your technique, so am I even more wronged?" ⊙In 1937, after Luo Ergang's "Outline of Taiping Heavenly Kingdom History" was published, he showed it to Hu Shi.Hu snapped, saying that Luo's book "only praises the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. Modern China has experienced the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom's chaos. It has not recovered its vitality for decades, but it has not been written, which is unfair to historians."He also said: "Historians should not be subjective. They must tell the truth. If one side is ignored, it will be a one-sided record. This is wrong. You said that the May 4th New Literature Movement was influenced by The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom advocates the influence of popular literature, and I have never read the vernacular of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.” ⊙In 1921, when Yu Dafu was studying in Japan, he heard a speech by Yukio Ozaki, the well-known "God of the Party and Government" in Japanese political circles at that time, former Minister of Education, Minister of Justice, and mayor of Tokyo.When he heard that China after the 1911 Revolution was still called the "Qing Kingdom", Yu Dafu stood up and said in fluent Japanese: "Mr. Yukio Ozaki, how can you still call China after the 1911 Revolution the Qing Dynasty? Do you know the fact of the Republic of China, or do you call it that on purpose?" Yukio Ozaki was speechless and forced to apologize. ⊙Tan Xinpei's plays are popular in Beijing, and there are many Tan fans in every university.One day at recess, the teachers were gossiping about Tan’s "Qin Qiong Selling Horses". Hu Shi interjected: "Peking opera is too outdated. You can use one whip to count as a horse, and two flags to count as a cart. You should use real carts and horses." All the people present were listening to the high-level discussion quietly, and no one interrupted. Suddenly Huang Kan stood up and said: "It's suitable, it's suitable, what should I do if I want to sing Wu Song Fighting the Tiger?" ⊙After Huang Kan died of illness, Qian Xuantong wrote an essay to commemorate: "It has been twenty-six years since I made a friendship with Ji Gang (Huang Kan's character) in the year of your next year (1909). Four or five years of discussing the phonology, the most suitable. In the spring of the twenty-first year, in the Yuhang teacher's seat, there was a disagreement, and it ended in a fight. How could we expect this to be farewell, and it will be an eternal farewell!" ⊙Zhang Taiyan has always hated Wu Tingfang.After Wu Tingfang's death, his son Wu Chaoshu visited Zhang Taiyan and said: "My father was in good health, but because the Prime Minister (referring to Sun Yat-sen) was in trouble, he traveled to Hunan and Guangdong, overworked, and fell ill. Within ten days, his beard and hair were all white..." Zhang interjected and said: "Wu Zixu had to pass Zhaoguan in vain overnight. The Jun's family has a precedent." Wu Chaoshu also said: "Cremation is very common in Europe and the United States. But in China, it is still a new idea." Yes, Wu Dalang is to be cremated." The next day, Zhang Taiyan sent an elegiac couplet: a night of white mustaches, thanks to Donggao's rescue; a moment of ashes, no need for Ximenqing to spend money. ⊙Zhang Taiyan chatted with Chen Duxiu. When talking about literature, Chen Duxiu cited several bachelors who were born in Jiangsu and Anhui. He was quite proud of being a native of Jiangsu and Anhui. Later, when he came to Hubei, Chen said disdainfully: "That place has not produced any great scholars. .As soon as the words fell, Huang Kan, a native of Hubei from the next room, jumped out and said loudly: "There are no scholars in Hubei, but this is nothing; there are many scholars in Anhui, but this may not be a single step." Chen Duxiu was speechless. Word. ⊙A foreigner asked Gu Hongming: "Why are there so many dialects in China?" Gu Hongming asked back: "Why are there so many languages ​​in Europe, but China has a vast land and a large population, which is actually equal to the whole of Europe! Although the Chinese language is not uniform, but Chinese characters have been unified for thousands of years." ⊙In Changsha Temporary University in 1937, three principals, Jiang Menglin, Zhang Boling and Mei Yiqi, inspected the student dormitories.Seeing the dilapidated houses, Principal Jiang thought it was not suitable for living; Principal Zhang thought that students should take exercise, and they should be satisfied with such a dormitory.So Jiang said: "If it's my child, I don't want him to live in the dormitory!" Zhang responded tit for tat: "If it's my child, I definitely want him to live in this dormitory!" ⊙After the "January 1st" tragedy, Fu Sinian said at the Southwest Associated University Professors Conference: The authorities want students to resume classes as soon as possible, otherwise, Chiang Kai-shek will send Huo Kuizhang to disband the Union University by force and organize the students into the Youth Army, so as to express gratitude to the United Nations University The professor applies pressure.Feng Youlan joked to Fu Sinian: "You used to be the leader of the students, and you specially made troubles with the school authorities. Now the troubles have come to you. It's really 'look at the shaved head, and people shave their heads'." ⊙After the "January 1st" tragedy, the authorities required the resumption of classes, and students had to meet the conditions to resume classes.At the professors meeting on December 17, 1945, Fu Sinian asked the students to resume classes within a time limit.Wen Yiduo objected, "Well, why don't you shout long live in front of Lao Jiang!" Fu was furious and cursed: "Get out of here if you have a special party!" ⊙Xiong Shili quarreled with Liang Shuming.Xiong spoke eloquently, but Liang was taciturn, so he turned his head and left.However, Xiong Shili was still puzzled, and shouted: "Want to leave?" He rushed over, punched Liang's back three times, and cursed: "Idiot! Idiot!" ⊙After the Central Plains War, Chen Cheng went to Japan for investigation.One day, a military officer asked him: "You became a general at such a young age. Are all your Chinese generals easy to be?" Furious, he said that he dared to play tricks on the emperor, so he appealed to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, which led to a diplomatic dispute. ⊙A British professor newly recruited to Peking University saw Gu Hongming in a long robe and jacket in the faculty lounge, leaning on a cane, sitting on the sofa with luck, so he asked the waiter who this old man with a pigtail was who.Gu heard that he taught English literature, so he talked with him in Latin. The professor responded rather reluctantly, which was embarrassing.Gu sighed, "How can I teach English literature when I can't even speak Latin? Alas! Alas!" He walked away. ⊙The publication "Humorous World" created by Lin Yutang follows the old way of talking about humor.The Zuomeng couldn't understand the humor advocated by Lin Yutang, so they began to scold them, calling the Analects of Confucius "idlers".Lu Xun scolded him the most, attacking Lin Yutang's literary interest and liberalism, and called humorous literature "narcotic literature." ⊙In January 1928, publications such as "Cultural Criticism" and "Sun Monthly" founded by Guo Moruo, Jiang Guangci and others began to write articles to besiege Lu Xun, saying that "Lu Xun is not a performer of this era after all", "The era of Ah Q has passed, we Don’t be obsessed with bones anymore, but should bury Ah Q’s body and spirit together”! ⊙Lu Xun and Lin Yutang used to live together near the Yokohama Bridge on North Sichuan Road in Shanghai.Once Lu Xun accidentally threw the leftover cigarette butt under Lin Yutang's tent and burned a corner of the mosquito net.After Lin Yutang put out the fire, he felt very unhappy, so he sharply blamed Lu Xun.Lu Xun felt that he was making a fuss out of a molehill, so he retorted: "What if it is completely burned? It's only five yuan in total!" The two broke up after a big argument. ⊙For some boring domestic films, Lu Xun once slapped him with a slap in the face: "The current Chinese films are still very influenced by the style of 'wits plus hooligans'... After watching it, people feel that if they want to be heroes and good people now, they must also be good. It's a hooligan." ⊙Huang Kan said to Hu Shi: "Mr. Hu, you keep saying that you want to promote vernacular Chinese, but I don't think you are sincere." Hu Wenyan was puzzled, and asked, "What does Mr. Huang say?" If you do it yourself, your name should not be 'Hu Shi', but 'Where are you going'!" Hu was speechless after hearing this. ⊙Huang Kan said in the class of Peking University: "Hu Shizhi said that writing vernacular is a pleasure. Jin Shengtan said that the most painful thing in the world is beheading; the fastest thing in the world is drinking alcohol. If Hu Shizhi wants to be happy, You can go drink and then raise your neck to be chopped off." ⊙When Gu Hongming kowtowed to his ancestors, foreigners laughed at him and said, "If you do this, will your ancestors be able to eat the food on the altar table?" Do you smell the scent of flowers?" ⊙In 1919, Hu Shi returned to China after studying abroad, taught at Peking University, and launched the New Culture Movement.Fu Sinian, Huang Kan's most proud student in his life, also fell into the new literature camp. Since then, every time Huang Kan attends class, he always has to scold Hu Shi just to enjoy himself. ⊙On the London tram, a few British people saw Gu Hongming in a long gown and jacket with long braids, and thought it was funny, so they insulted him.At that time, Gu Hongming was holding a copy of "The Times" in his hand, so he turned around to look at the newspaper. The British people became more enthusiastic and said, "Look, that Chinese kid can't even read, what newspaper is he reading?" Gu said to him in pure and proficient English: "Your English only has 26 letters, which is too simple, and it's meaningless if you don't read it backwards!" The Englishman was horrified and ran away in despair. ⊙Hu Shi's "Outline of the History of Chinese Philosophy" has only completed the first half, and the lower part has not been completed for a long time.Huang Kan said with a smile in the class of Central University: "In the past, Xie Lingyun was the secretary supervisor, but today Hu Shi can be regarded as the supervisor of works." The students were puzzled and asked why.Huang Kan said: "Eunuchs are eunuchs. Eunuchs are gone." ⊙ Zhang Zongchang messed around under Zhang Zuolin in his early years.Once, Zhang Zuolin entrusted Guo Songling to purge the army, and Guo wanted to take Zhang Zongchang into surgery.When inspecting Zhang's troops, the two were quarreling, Guo opened his mouth and cursed, and the voice of mother-in-law was endless.Unexpectedly, Zhang Zongchang was not angry, and said: You fuck my mother, you are my father!Then he knelt down, making Guo Songling's face flushed, and the purge was over. ⊙Lu Gongjing was executed by Yang Xiuqing. Hong Xiuquan was very angry when he found out. He summoned Yang Xiuqing and asked: "Brother, you punish Lu Gongjing, a rebellious minister. I didn't know about it beforehand. If this is the case, how can I unify the sovereignty of the kingdom of heaven in the future?" Yang replied: "Heavenly Father sees that you are working too hard, brother. He is worried that you will get sick. He orders me to do something once in a while. Why make such a fuss?" Hong Xiuquan could only laugh it off. ⊙Zhong Zhengmao, principal of Sichuan Wanxian Normal School, is a student of Zhang Taiyan.Once, Yuan Shikai said to Zhong: "Your teacher can't get along with me, you can persuade me. China has always had two long live cards, one is Dacheng's most holy teacher, and the other is the current emperor. Why didn't Taiyan give me one? ?” ⊙Gu Hongming gave Hirobumi Ito a newly published English translation.Ito took the opportunity to tease: "I heard that you are proficient in Western academics. Don't you know that Confucius' teaching can be practiced more than 2,000 years ago, but it can't be practiced in the 20th century today?" , Just like mathematicians' addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. Thousands of years ago, the method was three times nine, but in the 20th century, the method is still three three times nine, not three three times eight." Ito was momentarily at a loss for words. ⊙Li Shi and Hu Shi were sworn enemies. Li wanted to make Hu Shi angry, so he made public a note that Hu asked Xuantong for leave.The note said: "Chen Hu Shi, I have something to do today, so I can't ask for peace." ⊙In 1928, after Zhang Jingjiang became the chairman of Zhejiang, he lived in "Laiyin Xiaozhu" by the West Lake.One day, Zhang and his in-law Zhou Jue clashed verbally and yelled at each other.Zhou said: "Everyone was born as a prostitute on Changmen (Suzhou) Street. Don't make a fuss about each other. What skills do you have? It's not obvious!" ⊙When Li Liejun was depressed and bored, he often went to the nightclub of Wing On Company to dance to relieve boredom.One time, he suddenly discovered that his son Li Bincheng was dancing with a dancer who happened to be his usual good friend, so he was ashamed and angry, and immediately called Li Bincheng to reprimand him, but Li Bincheng replied straightforwardly: "You can dance, but I can't? "Li Liejun was speechless with anger. ⊙Ma Junwu suspected that Song Jiaoren was falling for Yuan Shikai, the two had a dispute, Song Jiaoren slapped Ma Junwu, Ma Junwu fought back, and seriously injured Song Jiaoren's left eye.Hu Hanmin recorded this incident in the book "Autobiography": "Song is a horse, and he urgently criticizes his left cheek. The horse fights back and hurts Song's eyes. Song was admitted to the hospital and healed within ten days." ⊙Before the Northern Expedition, Zhang Ji advised Sun Chuanfang to cooperate with Chiang Kai-shek.Sun Shan argued fiercely, but Zhang failed to convince him, so he said to Sun: "You don't look like a soldier, you look like a politician." After hearing this, Sun retorted: "I am not a politician, and I am the most against politicians. My son will not let you He's a politician. Politicians are all whore-like bastards, and I'm a warlord through and through." ⊙Deng Zhicheng, a professor of the History Department of Peking University, whose grandfather was Deng Tingzhen, the former governor of Yunnan, Guizhou and Guangdong, spoke with a strong southwestern accent.He doesn't like vernacular Chinese very much. In the student test papers, wherever "的" is used, he will change it to "之".One day, he said in a Southwestern official accent: "Students, you must understand that there is a man named Hu in the city. His name is Hu Shi. He is a nonsense man."
