Chapter 33 Postscript

Postscript After Yu Zi wrote the book "Outline of National History" in Yiliang, Yunnan during the Anti-Japanese War, he read the outline of the entire Chinese history by himself and disclosed it in the book.It is up to the reader to follow this detailed request.There may be fallacies, and readers should point them out before thinking about them.Yu's interest gradually shifted from history to cultural issues. Yu Zhi studied the history of the country because of the New Culture Movement in the early Republic of China, which criticized the history of the country and made some corrections.Hold its two ends, use it for the people, and make up for the disadvantages of the world.However, since the Second World War, I have been convinced that European and Western cultures are also suffering from many diseases, and the future of the country and the nation must not be followed by one-sided admiration and no criticism and choices.And history is limited to facts, you can focus on yourself, and the truth will be revealed.Culture, on the other hand, contains values, and it is necessary to compare the two sides to know the gains and losses.Yu began to write the book "Introduction to Chinese Cultural History" in Chengdu, which was the beginning of Yu's intention to open up new ideas for his own knowledge.

As for the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, it can be said that the state affairs are uncertain and unpredictable, because they are determined not to return to Pingjin, nor to stay in Beijing and Shanghai.But when he returned to Kunming, he didn't expect his academic style to be arrogant at first, but there were some unexpected ones.He also suffered from stomach problems in Chengdu, but he didn't heal until now, so he decided to return to his hometown, where he could drink and eat, which would help his sick body.Suitable for the new creation of Jiangnan University, so he stayed to teach.But the state affairs are becoming more and more turbulent, so I read a book day and night to write notes for writing.Chatting can be in the scenic spots of lakes and mountains, wandering indifferently, seeking tranquility.I also wrote this part in the meantime.It has been more than thirty years since I came to Hong Kong to print it.

In the past thirty years, there have been writings on cultural issues.For two years, he was blind and unable to read.Newspapers and books have all been separated.But I can still catch a pen and write a manuscript.Fang wrote the book "Comparative Views on Chinese and Western Cultures", but it does not mean that the accumulated manuscripts have exceeded 20 articles.Most of them are miscellaneous memories and thoughts in their hearts on weekdays, and the principle is not to turn over the book and not to quote materials.Suddenly one day, the owner of Sanmin Publishing Company came to ask for the remainder, and would pay for it again.Because my wife recited it once, I listened to it one by one.At the beginning, I didn't realize that Yu Fang's writing was written by Yu Fang. It was a lot of old insights, and what I had developed before, but now I have forgotten it.I am ashamed that my knowledge has not improved, but the state affairs and world affairs are getting worse every day.Recalling a period of mood by the Taihu Lake back then, the yellow crane has gone forever.Looking back at the present and looking back at the past, what a feeling it is.

Because of reading the book "Outline of National History", it has also been revised and revised a few years ago, creating a new edition.This manuscript continues today.My broom is self-preserving, and in the drastic changes of the times, I don't know if the people of the country read it, and they still say that this book has the meaning and value of a little more attention.For this postscript, I will also talk about the general situation of Feihong stepping on this slush in the past years, so what can he say. On May 7, 1980, Qian Mu realized that he was 80 and 6 years old at the Su Shulou in Wai Shuangxi, Taipei.
