Chapter 53 Chapter 52 "Hu Shi's School of Textual Research"

Critics have long pointed out that Zhang Ailing is the first example of a world-renowned writer who also studies red studies, and her work is extraordinary, surpassing others. This is a fact, not a vulgar state of exaggeration. However, there are many schools of red studies with different styles. What "school" does she belong to?What is the value?Why does she have extraordinary insights and achievements?All of these should be discussed in depth, so that the predecessors can learn from each other, and the sages can lead the way. It is very clear: she is a "Hu Shi textual research school".

She's not a nerd, works with books, collates, and nothing else; no.She is proficient in Western, works as a translator, and writes novel scripts. She has won the highest evaluation and ranked first in the list.She has read countless ancient and modern Chinese and foreign novels, and she is familiar with them by heart——this way, she is really qualified to be a "criticism school" who is ridiculed by others. Her knowledge of red studies is concentrated in the two aspects of author and version, which shows that she is the first-line successor of "Mr. Hu Shi's red studies".

She has studied Chinese and Western, so she not only understands ancient prose, but also has the charm of "Qian and Jiapu". This is worthy of being overshadowed by many people who call themselves "red scholars" in the world. The "Hu Shi School of Textual Research" is the most infamous, and everyone fears and avoids it, and respects ghosts and gods and stays away. The voice of the "Red Studies Revolution" is also dissatisfied with the "Criticism School", which regards the study of authors and editions as an important prerequisite for a deep understanding of works.How does this "fate" "reform" the law?It is said that he wants to "return to literary creation".

This "revolutionary slogan" and "purpose" fully express that the "revolutionaries" do not pay attention to the internal reasons for the emergence of "red studies", and they do not understand the principle of "knowing people and discussing the world" in the traditional Chinese literature.He only needs the concept of "literary creation", and everything else is "reformed".So, is this "revolution" led and practiced by scholars and professors?Or should it be done by a great writer? Undoubtedly, it should belong to the latter, and it is really appropriate for a writer like Zhang Ailing to realize the "Red Studies Revolution".However, for some unknown reason, it is strange that she has chosen to be the object of the "revolutionary school", that is, the "revolution"!

This case is very intriguing. Eileen Chang lived in Hong Kong and later transferred to the United States. She should have heard about the "Red Learning Revolution" initiated in Hong Kong; unfortunately, she did not know this new path. Her "textual research" can be described as intensified, extremely delicate - and extremely cumbersome! I don't like her "textual research direction".I admire her academic spirit and attitude. She is dedicated, sincere, and devoted to her studies. As a result, she has made a lot of achievements, which cannot be seen or explained by others.It's one thing to admire it, but it's another thing to dislike its "direction".

If it is admitted that a great work must have a text that everyone can read with basic consensus, then this text should be regarded as an established form of art, rather than a "process" of gradual production, modification, polishing, and polishing, that is, the accumulation of fragments The "process" status of the organization.Helpless, the main impression left by Ms. Zhang is how the fragments in those "processes" are assembled, how to change, how to "make up".... Cao Xueqin's, where does the charm come from?It will never be such a trivial thing about the materials and craftsmanship of "parts" and "mortise and tenon".And what Eileen Chang invested the most seems to be precisely this "useful place".

For this, I regret and sigh. The poem says: The world is difficult, so why brag about benevolence and generosity. Feel admiration and lament, understand joys and sorrows.
