Chapter 6 Xiamen Communication (3) [1]

Xiamen Communication (3) [1] Brother Xiaofeng: Two manuscripts were sent out on the 27th, [2] I have already thought about it.In fact, this kind of thing can be done or not, but one is because there are some young people here who want me to play a few games, and the other is because there are no articles to write, so I wrote a few and sent them.Some people in the local area also asked me to write some articles criticizing Xiamen, but so far I haven’t written a single sentence. I don’t understand the language, and I don’t know the details.For example, in the newspapers here, there was a lawsuit of "Huang Zhongxun's occupation of the commons" [3] for several days. I still don't know who Huang Zhongxun is and what the twists and turns are. .But others criticize, I am not harmful.Thinking that I don't allow others to criticize, false accusation;

[4] How can I have such great power.However, if I were to be an editor, then I would not publish things that I thought would not work. I really don’t want to be a puppet of some inexplicable movement. A few days ago, Zhuo Zhi [5] opened his eyes wide and said to me, if someone scolds you, you have to scold me back.There are still many who want to see your things, and you should not bewilder them by keeping silent.You are not your own now.I shuddered again when I heard it, the same as when I heard someone say that young people should learn from me to read more ancient Chinese.Alas, as soon as I wear a paper crown, I become a public property, and I have the obligation to "help", and I have to answer scolding, but it is better to collapse as soon as possible and give me freedom.The quality is brilliant, do you not take it for granted?

Today, I also encountered a thing that made me shiver.I have already resigned from my position at Xiamen University due to illness.Nothing to do, slip away.However, quite a few students complained to me, saying that they came here after reading the news of Xiamen University’s reform[6].This really sent chills down my spine and left me speechless.Unexpectedly, the "paper fake crown" of "authority in the ideological world" or "pioneer in the ideological world" is so misleading.I'm really sorry for a few advertisements (but I didn't post them) and deceived them from other schools, but in the end they ran away.I am very sorry that no one made a shady record in Beijing to stop the students. "Talk when you meet, fight when you don't see each other" [7] philosophy, it seems that sometimes it is very misleading.

You probably don’t know the details yet, but my original idea was to live here for two years. Besides teaching, I also hoped to print the previously compiled "Han Dynasty Paintings" [8] and "Ancient Novels Gouchen" out.These two kinds of books cannot be printed by themselves, and I dare not ask you to print them.Because there must be very few people watching, there is no doubt that the cost will be lost, and only schools with money are suitable.When I got here and looked at the situation, I canceled the hope of printing "Han Portraits" and shortened the period to one year.In fact, I can go now, but seeing Yutang's [9] diligence and enthusiasm for doing things for my hometown, I can't say it out loud.Later, when the calculations didn't count, Yutang tried hard; when I heard that the headmaster said, as long as you have a manuscript, you can print it immediately.So I took the manuscript out, let it sit for about ten minutes at most, then brought it back, and there has been no follow-up since then.This result only proves that I do have the manuscript, and I am not cheating.At that time, I also canceled the intention of printing "Ancient Fiction Gou Shen", and shortened the time limit to half a year.In addition to doing business and teaching, Yutang also has to guard against plots. I think he is exhausted on irrelevant things, and he is really wronged.

The meeting was held the day before yesterday, and even the weekly magazine of the Chinese Academy of Sciences could hardly be printed; however, the principal wanted to add consultants, such as the director of the science department.I really don't understand the customs of Xiamen. Why do you have to use the rope of a consultant to tie him up if you study Chinese studies and hurt the feelings of the director of the science department?I haven't studied the law of liaison and emotion; Jianshi [10] has resigned, so I decided to leave too.It’s only a three-week holiday now, so it’s okay to suspend it. However, the salary of the teaching staff here is sometimes penny-pinching, and I want to deduct it even after leaving school for ten days, so I don’t want to take advantage of the salary during the holiday. As of today , Deduct a full month.The test was done yesterday, and the test is over.The examination papers will be graded next month, but no cents will be taken.Just leave after reading, please don't send the publications for now, when I have a place to stop, I will write to you immediately, and then send it.

At the end, as usual, we will talk about the weather.The so-called example is my example; I am afraid that some critics will say that I want to order young people all over the world to follow my example, so I hereby declare that this is not the case.The weather is indeed cold.The grass is also much yellower than before; however, the okra-like yellow flowers in front of my door are still blooming, and there are also pomegranate flowers in the mountains.The flies are gone, and the mosquitoes are here and there. It's late at night, let's talk again. Lu Xun.December thirty-first. Zai: Woke up after sleeping, and heard the sound of watchmen, it was already five o'clock.This is the school's new policy, which was added last month, and there is more than one watchman.As I listened, I realized that everyone's style of play is different, and there are two types of tones that can be most clearly distinguished——

Toto, toto, toto, toto! Toto, toto, toto!support. There are also factions in the tone of the watchman, which I didn't know before.And take the notice as a piece of news. ※ ※ ※ [1] This article was originally published in Issue 114 of the weekly "Yusi" on January 15, 1927. 〔2〕Refers to "The "Strategy" of "Going to the Publishing World"" and "New Sophistication", both included. 〔3〕"Huang Zhongxun seized the public land" Zheng Chenggong, a national hero in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, once built a supervisory platform in Sunlight Rock, Gulangyu Island, to train sailors.In the autumn of 1926, Huang Zhongxun built Guanqing Villa here, which aroused public opposition due to the occupation of public land.Later, Huang Dengbao stated that the villas built will be visited by the public to pay respects to the hometown of the national hero Zheng Chenggong, and the villas must continue to be built.Huang Zhongxun, born in Xiamen, was a scholar in the late Qing Dynasty and an overseas Chinese in Vietnam.

[4] This is a refutation of Gao Changhong.Gao Changhong once said in the "1925 Beijing Publishing Industry Situation in Hand Map": "Lu Xun is a person with good intuition, but he can't argue. If he doesn't criticize himself, I don't object. But if he can't criticize himself , and oppose criticism at all, then it shouldn’t be.” 〔5〕 Zhuozhi Wei Zhaoqi, courtesy name Zhuozhi, was born in Fuzhou, Fujian.In September 1926, he transferred from Shanghai Nanyang University to Xiamen University.What he said here can be found in Lu Xun's letter to Xu Guangping on January 5, 1927: "I remember that some students brought "Hurricane" and urged me to scold Changhong back. He said, you are not your own. Already, many young men are waiting to hear your words!"

("Books from Two Places 105") 〔6〕Renewal news of Xiamen University In June and August 1926, Shanghai "Shen Bao" and "Shi Shi Xin Bao" successively published the "Reform News" of Xiamen University, introducing the founder of the school, Tan Kah Kee, to allocate additional funds and funds, Expand the school on a large scale, and add the Academy of Chinese Studies.For example, the article "Recent Development of Xiamen University" published in "Current Affairs" on August 4 said: "In a few years, Xiamen University is expected to be one of the most perfect universities in China. Lin Wenqing, the one who pays the most attention at the moment, is to recruit domestic and foreign famous people, so that students can be guided by good teachers...and (already) hired Shen Jianshi, Zhou Shuren (Lu Xun), and Gu Jiegang from Peking University to sort out Chinese studies...if you can do it so hard , and with sufficient funds, the Institute of Chinese Studies will surely achieve considerable results in the future, which will open up new horizons for our country’s academic circle.” During the same period, Shenbao and Shishixinbao also repeatedly published the whereabouts of Zhou Shuren, a newly hired professor at Xiamen University.

[7] "Talk when you meet, and fight when you don't see each other." These are the words of Gao Changhong in the article "Answer to National University×Jun" published in the first issue of "Hurricane" weekly magazine (October 1926): "I know a thing or two about cold arrows in writing, and I probably won't be too disadvantaged. If you use cold arrows, you will return with cold arrows. It does not violate the ancient etiquette, and it is in harmony with the new friendship. Talk about it when you meet, and fight when you don't meet. , can also reduce some monotony."

〔8〕 "Han Portraits" is a special book on art archeology prepared by Lu Xun to compile and print. Over the years, he has collected and studied the portraits and patterns of the stone carvings of the Han, Wei and Six Dynasties, which has been compiled into a book "Catalogue of Images of the Six Dynasties" (not printed), but the part of the Han portraits has not been completed.
