Chapter 25 Rumination

Yuan Gen With regard to the discussion on "Anthology of Works", some publications have not directly raised the issue of whether everyone should study this issue, but have dragged it onto other matters.They are laughing at those who oppose "Anthology" but they themselves have done ancient prose and read ancient books.This is really powerful.It is probably the so-called "use the spear of the son to attack the shield of the son" [2] - sorry, the "ancient book" is here again! Those who have never been in prison know the truth about prison.Following a rich man, or being a rich man himself, he made a phone call first, and then went to visit. He only saw that the jailer was very friendly, and the prisoner could talk freely in English (3).If you want to know the details, then he must be the former jailer, or a released prisoner.Of course, he still has bad habits, but his advice to people not to go to prison is more credible than what celebrities say about the education and health of a model prison, how complete it is, and much better than the poor's home.

However, if I have the smell of prison, it is said that I can't say that the prison is bad. The jailers or prisoners are all bad people, and bad people can't have good things to say.Only good people say that prison is good, and that is a good thing.It is better to say that it is useless after reading "Selected Works" than to say that it is useful without reading "Selected Works".Most of the gentlemen who oppose "anti-"Anthology" have read it, but there are also those who have not read it. Here is an example-"Although I read it four years ago, I couldn't fully read it at that time. I understand... I haven't seen "Wen Xuan" at all." However, he concluded, "Because the water in the bath tray is bad, even the baby must be thrown out. This means that we dare not agree." [4 ] See "Torch", he wants to protect the "little baby" in the water, but he has never seen "the water in the bath".

During the May 4th Movement, the protection of classical Chinese meant that anyone who wrote vernacular would be able to write classical Chinese, so ancient Chinese had to be read as well.Those who protect ancient books now say that those who oppose ancient books are also reading ancient books and writing classical Chinese——this shows that the claim is ridiculous.I ruminate forever, but I don’t vomit myself. I probably really read through it. November 4th. [1] This article was originally published in "Shenbao Free Talk" on November 7, 1933. 〔2〕"Using the spear of the son to attack the shield of the son" comes from "Han Feizi Difficult Situation": "People who have a spear and a shield praise the strength of the shield, and nothing can fall into it; Russia also praises the spear. Said: "The sharpness of my spear can trap everything." People responded, "How about using the spear of a son to trap a shield with a son?"

[3] Prisoners can also talk freely in English. This is what Hu Shi said. [4] "Because the water in the bath tray is bad, even the baby has to be thrown out", see the article "My Opinion" by He Ren in "Da Evening News·Torch" on October 24, 1933 .
