Chapter 44 Bad luck comes in the second quarter

In the summer of 1957, Chen Mengjia "launched a vicious attack on the party" because of his "outrageous words" in "Speaking Greatly", and "extremely distorted, slandered, and abused everything in New China", " vicious attacks on the reform of Chinese characters", and publicly published "Be Careful in "Reforming" Chinese Characters", which is a highly toxic and lethal agent similar to melamine. Strictly speaking, the excellent traditional culture of the Chinese nation cannot be killed or destroyed by your group of ignorant hooligan proletarians, and so on.As soon as the movement started, those in power who had long been eyeing the tiger easily grabbed the pigtails, turned them to the ground immediately, and labeled them as "rightists."At this time, less than half of Chen Mengjia's "Dating the Bronze Wares of the Western Zhou Dynasty" had just been serialized in the "Journal of Archeology" sponsored by the Institute of Archeology. There is no more, and he became the "eunuch" or "author of writings" that old master Huang Kan ridiculed Hu Shi back then.Chen Mengjia painstakingly collected and sorted out the three volumes of "Chinese Bronze Ware Comprehensive Record" in Northern Europe, the United States and Canada.

A gust of wind and rain accompanied by the successive gold medals dropped by the top political officials, Chen fell from the peak of his career to the bottom of the valley.What history and reality have given him are no longer flowers, wine and applause for celebration, but open and dark arrows from all directions.The leaders of the Chinese Academy of Sciences took advantage of the situation to gather personnel from the academic circles, especially the Institute of Archaeology and Humanities Units, and concentrated artillery fire on Chen.According to the memories of Hu Houxuan, who had been transferred to the Institute of History of the Chinese Academy of Sciences to do research work (according to the south: Hu Fulin, after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, he was transferred from Qilu University to Fudan University, and later transferred to the Institute of History to specialize in the compilation of oracle bone inscriptions). Unknowingly, he invited some of his peers to visit his precious Ming Dynasty furniture. As a result, some people became more jealous, and some people even hated it until their teeth itch. [South Press: At the end of the 1990s, 26 pieces of Ming Dynasty furniture were collected by Chen Mengjia collected by the Shanghai Museum during his lifetime. This batch of furniture has become an important evidence for the study of Ming Dynasty society.For this reason, the Shanghai Museum paid Chen Mengjia and Zhao Luorui heirs (they have no children) up to 8 figures in RMB].

On this point, what Hu Houxuan said is very true.Wang Shixiang, who graduated from Yenching University in his early years and later became a famous collector of cultural relics, said in the article "Remembering Mengjia": "Mengjia is three years older than me. I was admitted to Yenching University in 1934. He was already a student of Professor Rong Geng. A graduate student in Paleography. He worked very hard, but I was a naughty student who played around in the dark and had nothing to do....At that time, Mr. Chen Mengjia and Mr. Chen Mengjia were both collecting Ming-style furniture, and we had a common interest. … ...I bought a pair of iron wood official hat chairs at a low price. The dreamer said: "You are simply picking for nothing, so you should give it to me!" I took one and wanted to leave. I said: "You can't give it to me if you pick it for nothing." You." I snatched it back again. Mengjia bought a bright huanghuali five-legged round incense table. I love it very much. I said: "How much did you pay for it, and give it ten times to me." I picked it up and wanted to snatch the door. Mengjia said: "Adding a hundred times is not enough!"... Mengjia has already published a great book at this time, and the remuneration for the manuscript is higher than mine, so he can buy furniture that I can't afford. The lattice frame was placed in a furniture store on the east side of Nankou Road of Luban Pavilion for a year or two. I went to see it many times, but I couldn’t do it, and it was finally acquired by Mengjia. But I don’t devote a lot of energy to academics like him. During the research, I often rode a broken car, knocked on the door of the old house, and went to the ghost market stalls. I spared no effort, so I was able to buy things that Mengjia had never seen."

Wang Shixiang, who was a classmate, a neighbor and a good friend with Chen Mengjia and his wife, is a child of a family with a good family background. Faced with a long-envied Ming red sandalwood mullion frame but failed to succeed, ordinary intellectuals, especially those from the countryside For intellectuals who enter the city, it is something that they dare not even think about. The only thing they can do is to stare with envy and jealousy, or go to the "Dream Room" with inexplicable flames in their eyes. "Looking at the happy life of this kind of celebrity and refined scholar.Chen Mengjia was so childish and ignorant of the seriousness that he showed his wealth in front of a group of poor scholars and scholars. Naturally, "the masses are very angry and the consequences are very serious."In addition, Chen Mengjia showed a bit of arrogance and unruly from time to time, and published current opinions regardless of the political wind. All of these, in the layers of gullies and traps set by conspiratorial or "Yang schemer" people, suffered great misfortune and suffered great losses. It is a necessity.As a result, the "anti-rightist" storm came together, and the heavy black "steel helmet" fell on his head.

According to Hu Houxuan, at that time, the higher-ups clearly instructed their subordinates to criticize Chen Mengjia. Hu himself and the historian Zhang Zhenghong of the same institute also received the order, but Hu and Zhang felt that the Chen family did have the faults and bad habits of literati. It's also a bit annoying, but these problems do not conflict with research work, not to mention that the usual speeches are made out of a kind of sincerity to the party, the country, and academics. thing.Hu and Zhang retreated, and they were regarded as backward thinking elements and left aside.Many revolutionary scholars with advanced thinking stepped forward and rushed to the front.Then, the sound of guns and guns rang out.Li Xueqin, a young man from the Institute of History of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, quickly published the article "Comment on Chen Mengjia's "Summary of Yin Xu's Divinations"", which unequivocally reviewed the milestone masterpiece in the history of oracle bone science that brought Chen great fame and money. Criticism, saying that the book has "few new meanings", "The main shortcoming is that the author has no clear understanding of the social nature and development path of the Yin Dynasty, so the book only lists complex phenomena and cannot be raised to the theoretical stage. There are also no satisfactory explanations for certain phenomena. This is far from the historical science of Marxism-Leninism."At the same time, Chen Mengjia was criticized for "mistakenly naming the four directions as 'Sifang Emperor', and making groundless comparisons with the Wufang Emperor who emerged from the Five Elements Theory after the Eastern Zhou Dynasty. This chapter also has no theoretical description of the essence of religion in the Yin Dynasty..."

After Li Xueqin graduated from Tsinghua University in 1951, he entered the Beijing Library to follow Zeng Yigong to assemble oracle bones, and then went to the Institute of Archaeology, Chinese Academy of Sciences to assist Chen Mengjia in sorting out oracle bone inscriptions. , After all, there is a fate of work.Chen Meng's family was in bad luck, but no matter Li Xueqin's seniority or relationship with Chen, it was inconvenient for Li Xueqin to strike too hard and too hard when the gunshots just rang out, and it was even more inappropriate to enter the temple to blaspheme gods. The source of man-made jealousy, or the culprit——"Summary of Yin Ruins Inscriptions" has undergone drastic repairs, which not only expresses its political stance, but also demonstrates its academic ability. It can be said to kill two birds with one stone, or kill two birds with one stone.However, the leaders at the upper echelon of Li’s approach seemed dissatisfied, that is, from the perspective of academics, Li’s critical articles seemed to lack confidence, and he hid alone among the messy crowd, whining and complaining. The feeling of talking to myself.This power is still far from the expected effect.Under the guidance of several experts in the academic circle, the senior leaders concluded after some analysis that Li Xueqin is not enough to have a dialogue with a celebrity like Chen Mengjia, let alone a confrontation, regardless of his qualifications, knowledge or status. Going on, it is very likely to give people who don't know the truth a kind of misunderstanding of "killing the king and killing the father" recorded many times in "Historical Records".At the same time, this kind of attack obviously cannot be a blockbuster. A single shot hit the vital point, making the arrogant and unruly Chen Mengjia lying on the ground unable to move.In order to knock Chen Mengjia, who has already put on the "rightist" helmet, to the ground, we must adopt the strategy and tactics of attacking big names against big names, celebrities against celebrities, and arrogance against arrogance.If so, Chen Meng's family will die.

The leaders of the Chinese Academy of Sciences listened to the suggestions of several big insiders, quickly dispatched troops, organized heavyweight players to write critical articles, and launched a large-scale attack on Mengjia.Under the specific organization and command of Pan Zinian, Liu Daosheng, and others from the Department of Philosophy and Social Sciences of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Luo Changpei, Jian Bozan, Tang Lan, Xia Nai, etc., who were well-known in the field of science education at that time, and some people from the Institute of Archeology stood up one after another. Come out and open fire on Chen Meng's house.Xia Nai publicly denounced in the People's Daily: "Rightists are anti-socialist and anti-Party leaders. They say that the Party cannot lead science. They want to abolish the Party's leadership and ask party members and leading comrades to 'step down'. "Archaeologist" Chen Mengjia said to the reporter who interviewed him: "In fact, if there are no party members and experts in a department with strong technical skills like the Archaeological Institute, it is okay to let non-party members experts lead it... I hope that after this rectification, we can Make an adjustment to the party members and leading comrades. Some people are inappropriate, some have too many part-time jobs, and some are nominal, all of which can be considered for adjustment.”

At that time, the "Archaeology Newsletter", which was quite influential in the national science and education circles, published the article "Condemnation of the Rightist Chen Mengjia" in the name of the editorial department. "Chen Mengjia, like other rightists, first opposed the leadership of the party. He blatantly wanted the party of the Academy of Sciences to step down. He vilified the Academy of Sciences, which leads the country's scientific undertakings, and portrayed it as a bureaucratic bureaucracy. He described the creation of working conditions for scientific research. All the staff are described as "officials, big and small", and "let them go to the place where they are officials to be officials, not in scientific research institutions"... He arrogantly believes that the report of the leading comrades of the Party Central Committee is "propaganda and education" ', I thought it was too long, and I didn't want to listen to it. He described the People's Broadcasting Station as a 'place to propagate dogmatism', and all the broadcasts were 'dogmatic'. He slandered the People's Daily, the organ of the Party Central Committee. The anti-Party right-wing newspaper Wen Wei Po praised it greatly... During the rectification period, he provoked the relationship between Xia Nai, the deputy director, and Comrade Yin Da. At a symposium of the Institute of Archaeology, he forced Xia Nai, the deputy director, "Do you Have a job but no power'." Judging from the articles published by Xia Nai and the editorial department of "Archaeological Newsletter", in addition to accusing Chen Mengjia of being anti-Party, anti-socialist, and anti-Marxism-Leninism, an important content is to expose Chen Mengjia's criticism of the Academy of Sciences and the The dissatisfaction of those in power in the archaeological institute.The "too many part-time jobs" mentioned by Chen Mengjia refers to Guo Moruo and Zheng Zhenduo, especially the latter. On October 17, 1958, Zheng Zhenduo led a 16-member Chinese cultural delegation on a friendly visit to Afghanistan and the United Arab Republic via the Soviet Union. The plane crashed in the Kanash area of ​​the Chuvash Autonomous Soviet Republic of the Soviet Union and all personnel were killed.The CCP media at that time made the following reports: "Delegate to the National People's Congress, member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, vice minister of the Ministry of Culture of the People's Republic of China, member of the Scientific Planning Committee of the State Council, member of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, member of the Chinese Federation of Literary and Art Circles Comrade Zheng Zhenduo, member of the Bureau, director of the Council of the Chinese Writers Association, chairman of the China-Myanmar Friendship Association, director of the Institute of Literature of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and director of the Institute of Archeology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences... unfortunately all died."

It can be seen from the above reports that the Zheng family can be said to be a dragon among the people who are not born in the world. They have a prosperous official career and hold several positions. They can be called "the most important treasure of the country".Back then, Chiang Kai-shek in his heyday was the chairman of the Military Commission, the executive director of the National Government, the Central Bank, the Bank of China, the chairman of the Agricultural Bank of China, the president of the Central University, the president of the Army Military Academy, and… …long".Jiegong's series of "concurrent" and "long" not only did not receive the respect of military and political officials and ordinary people, but instead became a joke for people to talk about after dinner.Unexpectedly, this kind of joke did not disappear when Lao Jiang ran to the isolated island of Taiwan. It was also heard occasionally in New China, and it was even worse. It was the same for those who had several or dozens of "committees" and "leaders". River crucian carp. ——It's a pity that the 60-year-old Comrade Zheng took the opportunity to go west, but he was destined to go to Huangsha, and those who heard it felt sorry for him.After Zheng's death, Yin Da, not Xia Nai, succeeded him as director of the archaeological institute.

When the Institute of History of the Chinese Academy of Sciences was first established, Guo Moruo acted as the dean and concurrently as the director, while Yin Da, as an "old revolutionary", took the position of deputy director temporarily and presided over the daily work of the institute.After Liang Siyong's death in 1954, Yin Da took Liang's place and concurrently served as deputy director of the Institute of Archeology, ranking ahead of Xia Nai.Although Yin Da could not compare academically with Xia Nai, the "sea turtle" who was well versed in both Chinese and Western cultures, let alone a scholar of the same level, but in the revolutionary ranks, Yin was an old party member (CCP), an old revolutionist, and an old senior, while Xia was not.Since Xia Nai has nothing to do with a few "old" characters, he naturally has to stand aside. The important affairs of the institute are controlled by Deputy Director Yin. As well as handling official documents, Xia Nai is responsible for all of them.It is precisely because of this fact that Chen Mengjia took a dislike to this deformed situation, publicly clamored that "a layman leads an expert", and forced Xia to ask "reactionary remarks" such as "whether he has a job but no power" at the meeting.Chen Mengjia, who is ignorant of world affairs, said this, which is really a public slap in the face of Yin Da, and it is also a great disrespect to the upper-level leaders such as Guo Moruo and others.That being the case, why did Xia Nai stand up and criticize Chen Mengjia?

This matter is actually easy to explain. Xia Nai wrote an article to criticize Chen not because Chen criticized Xia in public.But at the same time of being comfortable and relieved, he had to pretend to be very angry and reprimanded Mrs. Chen—this is the old practice in Chinese officialdom, so there is no need to repeat it.What needs to be explained is that although Xia Nai was a non-Party person at the time, he was wearing the hat of a deputy director after all. People, Xia Nai wrote an article to express his position, and reprimanding became inevitable and necessary. Presumably Chen Mengjia himself was clear and understanding of Xia Nai's helpless actions. From previous and later experiences, it can be seen that Xia and Chen have always maintained a good personal friendship. When the Chen family was in trouble, Xia sympathized with Chen who was criticized by others, especially some untrue content, and secretly offered a solution. sets.It is precisely because of the good personal relationship between Xia and Chen that the "incident" of Chen publicly "pressing" Xia whether he has a job or no right came out at the conference.In the Institute of Archaeology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Chen Mengjia is a genius, but Xia Nai is even better than him.In terms of degree, Xia holds a Ph.D. in Egyptian Archaeology from the University of London, England. Although Chen Mengjia has studied abroad, he has neither a Ph.D. title nor a formal mentoring.In terms of orthodoxy, Xia is a direct disciple of the former Institute of History and Philology of the Academia Sinica. "Liang Siyong's mantle - this is extremely important, and its importance can be compared with that of Huineng in the Tang Dynasty 1,200 years ago, inheriting the mantle of the fifth Zen master Hongren.However, Chen Meng’s orthodoxy is extremely embarrassing. Xia Nai can be compared with Huineng, but the Chen family cannot be compared with Shenxiu of the Northern School, because both Huineng and Shenxiu respected the fifth patriarch Hongren Zen Master and belonged to the same disciple.Xia and Chen belong to two systems, two approaches, and two paths.In terms of spirit and life realm, Xia's teacher is "Sea Turtle" Fu Sinian, while Chen's teacher is soil scholar Rong Geng.Unfortunately, after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, Fu Sinian and Rong Geng threw Rong Geng from the office building into a ditch full of sludge on the charge of "traitor" in a battle between Peking and Chongqing.As an apprentice and grandson, it is of course a shame to have your teacher thrown into the muddy water by someone else's teacher and not be able to recover from the salty fish, let alone a carp to stand up and make a comeback.Thanks to Chen Meng’s family, there was also a “fighter” named Wen Yiduo called a teacher. Although Wen died in Kunming without making a name for himself in “fighting”, he was a hero affirmed and promoted by the CCP at that time. The statue was enshrined as a saint, which finally saved some face for Chen Mengjia in the field of mentorship and spirituality, and the gap with Xia Nai narrowed, but the two still could not sit on an equal footing—because the radiant, sacred and orthodox mantle was in Xia Nai body, not in Chen's hands.In terms of actual level and reputation, the archaeological and cultural relics circle at that time had the reputation of "South Zeng and North Xia", but not "South Zeng and North Chen".Of course, this "Southern Zeng Beixia" contains elements of academia's love, respect and polite praise for Zeng Zhaoyu as a female, and it does not really mean that Zeng can stand shoulder to shoulder with Xia Nai.Just imagine, even Wu Jinding, a Ph.D. from the University of London, the discoverer and excavator of "Longshan Culture" and "Nanzhao Culture", can't compete with Xia Nai, let alone Zeng Zhaoyu?After Zeng's death, no one in the Chinese archaeological field can compare with Xia Nai.It can even be said that Xia's talent is higher than Li Ji's, and his achievements in archeology in his life cannot be said to have surpassed Li Ji's, but he should be two giants standing side by side. This has become an uneasy theory. According to the general law, most of the great people in the academic world are better than themselves, and they express their admiration and admiration from the bottom of their hearts. For example, Liu Wendian and Chen Yinke are a vivid example.What the great people dislike are those scholars who are less educated than themselves or roughly the same level, especially bureaucrats and politicians who are less educated and point fingers, chatter, and self-righteous all day long.This kind of person really should not be an official in a scientific research institution as Chen Mengjia said, but should go to a hotel, restaurant, bathhouse or even a funeral parlor to be an official and govern, and perhaps make a little service contribution to mankind.At the archaeological research institute at that time, Chen Mengjia was naturally dissatisfied and even angry with Yin Da's knowledge and character, especially the official hat that surpassed Xia Nai. I know very well that even if the "Editorial Department" of "Archaeology" published a denunciation of Chen Wen, I also know that Chen Mengjia's intentions are not in Xia but in Yin. Since he dared to confront the party so blatantly and the rulers who wield the power of life and death, the doom of Chen Meng's family came when the storm broke out, and it no longer seemed abrupt and strange. From October 11 to 14, 1957, the Chinese Academy of Sciences held a three-day and three-night meeting in the name of the Department of Philosophy and Social Sciences, focusing on exposing and criticizing Lei Haizong, Xiang Da, and Rong Meng, the "Four Rightists" in the history circles. Yuan, Chen Mengjia.Among the "Big Four", in 1952, when Lei Haizong adjusted the departments, he was regarded as the Jiang Tingfu faction of the former Department of History of Tsinghua University and was cleared. He was transferred to Tianjin as the head of the Department of History of Tsinghua University and the acting dean of the School of Arts. Nankai University Department of History as a general professor.The movement was criticized from the very beginning, and when his condition deteriorated, he did not go to Beijing to participate.The latter "Big Three" belonged to the Second Institute, the Third Institute and the Institute of Archeology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences respectively. That is to say, the three reactionary monks who recited crooked scriptures and the temples they depended on are all under the control of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. If there is no temple, there must be one of the three crooked monks, and all of them will be criticized at the venue.During the three-day siege and crusade, in addition to the big and small leaders and minions of the Chinese Academy of Sciences system, Jian Bozan, director of the History Department of Peking University, and others were also invited to participate. Colleague Xiangda's call to arms.Xiang, Rong, and Chen, the "three majors", immediately became the "three minors", who were as insignificant as ants and as light as a feather, and were forced to At the meeting, he bent down his slender waist that was hungry like willow catkins because he hadn’t eaten or drank for several days, lowered his noble head, pretended to be full of remorse, and yelled bastards in front of the mirror-self-cursing loudly, "deep self-criticism" "stand up. In order to completely criticize the rightists in the Chinese Academy of Sciences system, including Chen Mengjia, who have changed from the "big three" to the "three small", and as a negative example, warn those who are staring, ignorant, and confused are moving to the "right" The nerds who slipped into the ditch, the leaders of the Chinese Academy of Sciences once again called on the heads of the subordinate departments to continue to organize a strong revolutionary backbone and deal a fatal blow to them. All units and research institutes were ordered to respond with scrambling to respond, and deployed their troops quickly. Guided by the revolutionary banners of laymen in foreign wars and experts in civil wars, chariots rumbled and Ma Xiaoxiao drove in front of the battle.In a chaotic battle formation with flags flying and people shouting and horses neighing, following the wave of Guo Moruo's commander-in-chief's flag, three generals with their helmets on their armor were seen rushing towards them.The leader in the middle is Tang Lan, a famous figure of the generation, and the two small-name generals on the left and right are Pan Shan and Qin Hua.The three generals reined in their horses before they arrived at the battle. First, the two young generals shouted and scolded the battle respectively. Pan and Qin caught a young man named Guan Xi who wrote a letter to Chen Meng's family talking about the disadvantages of writing reform. Chen's positive response and public response to the past events in the media were conducted respectively under the guidelines of "Comment on Guan Xi and Chen Mengjia's Attitudes to the Issue of Language Reform" and "Continue to Chase the Rightists-Refuting Chen Mengjia and Guan Xi". A lot of scolding and whipping.After the two scolded, they returned to the team, and Tang Lan, the number one player, rushed out with pride. Tang Lan is a teacher of Chen Meng's family, and once taught at Yenching University, Peking University, and Southwest Associated University.After the founding of New China, he once served as the acting director of the Chinese Department of Peking University. Since 1952, he has successively served as a researcher, director of the academic committee, and vice president of the Palace Museum.As far as his qualifications and knowledge are concerned, he can be regarded as a famous paleographer and ancient artifact scientist, and he can completely compete with Chen Mengjia.The academic positioning of the "Four Halls" of "Luo Dong Guo Wang" that was popular in the oracle bone academic circle at that time came from Tang Lan's hand and was recognized by the academic circle. Big.It is said that Wu Qichang (Zixin), a graduate of Tsinghua Academy of Chinese Studies and a favorite student of Liang Qichao, uttered a bold statement to Tang Lan: "Contemporary scholars can be called great scholars, one Liang Rengong, one Chen Yinke, one you, one Me." Whether Wu's big words can be recognized by the academic circle is another matter, but it is enough to see the fact that Tang Lan is a heavyweight player in the eyes of the opponent.As such a heavyweight fighter, it is a shocking event for him to fight against Chen Mengjia in person.Tang's strategy of "knowing yourself and the enemy, and winning a hundred battles" as stated in "Sun Tzu's Art of War", based on his in-depth understanding of Chen Mengjia's strengths and weaknesses, combined with his speech at the meeting of the Chinese Academy of Sciences criticizing the "Four Rightists" a few days ago, quickly drafted a plan. An article titled "Is the rightist Chen Mengjia a "scholar"?" "The battle call. In this ten-thousand-word-long article, Tang Lan denounced it with a stern and aggressive manner: "During the period of advocacy and liberation, the rightist Chen Mengjia, who carried out vicious and rampant attacks on the party, was a 'scholar'? No. He is a 'fake scholar', but in fact he is a very enthusiastic careerist who is desperately trying to climb up by any means, a philistine who is good at opportunistic and mercenary, and a liar who pretends to know what he knows, pretends to be an expert, and steals his name." Tang Lan, who was 10 years older than Chen Mengjia in age, was 57 years old at the time, and she deserved to be a famous scholar and a brave warrior.After seizing the commanding heights of politics and morality, he aimed at the weakest vital gate of the "career", "philistine" and "liar" Chen Meng's family with a sharp writing style and the proficiency of a savage, and stabbed with a knife, denouncing : "As he himself said, after the 'Anti-Japanese War', by 1944, relying on various social relations dominated by the Crescent faction, he quickly climbed up to the 'Professor'. At the most critical moment of the Anti-Japanese War, 'Want to become famous internationally, come to the US to live the American life, shamelessly accept stipends from Rockefeller, the world's largest exploiter, and serve them. In the name of studying bronze, actually completely lost the national position. Sponsored American wealthy businessmen, soldiers, and bureaucrats robbed our country’s bronze wares’. He went to Tsinghua University in 1947 to make friends with businessmen and gain prestige among antique dealers. authority'. It was only because of the liberation of Beijing that 'these wild ambitions and dreams' had to come to an end, but he said 'it was only temporarily covered up'. Therefore, he held a grudge against the party's hatred, 'holding the hope that one day, there will be a comeback. Hope'. After the party put forward the policy of correctly handling the contradictions among the people, he thought that such a day had finally come, and he could "make a comeback". attack the party from all directions.” At that time, Chen Mengjia was the only scholar in the Chinese intellectual circles who went abroad to investigate and collected a large amount of bronze wares. He has handled more than 2,000 bronze wares in total. It is conceivable that he has gained a lot.It is also this historical opportunity and huge harvest that made other experts envious, thus increasing their jealousy towards Chen.Tang Lan, who is known as an expert in ancient characters and ancient artifacts, had no chance to go to Hong Kong at that time (it finally happened), and the jealousy and hatred in her heart can be imagined.It was precisely because of this complex or the "pimple" in his heart that Tang Lan's attack was extraordinarily ruthless. A whirlwind of sword light flashed, and then, as a historical witness, Tang Lan stabbed directly at the past of Chen Mengjia's predecessor to "explore" what kind of "old knowledge" this "career, philistine, and liar" is boasting about. .Tang said: "At a banquet around 1933, Mr. Wen Yiduo told me that there was a young man named Chen Mengjia who dared to say, 'Xia Dynasty is the Shang Dynasty, and Xia Yu is the Shang Dynasty', and he was going to visit me. Every few days, this young man came to He has long hair and looks arrogant. He left behind a thick manuscript with absurd content, all of which came out of nowhere and said in a vacuum. This was the beginning of my acquaintance with him. Soon, he entered the Graduate School of Yenching University and met Mr. Rong Geng Studying inscriptions. That’s it. This is a young poet of the Crescent School who has studied law at the Pseudo-Central University, studied at the School of Religion at Yenching University, and is preparing to be a pastor. He has also been a very reactionary young poet of the Crescent School. , Chen Mengjia, who was fired from teaching in a middle school, found a shortcut to fame and fortune, and the so-called "starting from epigraphy" was easily put up." In order to demonstrate why Chen Mengjia became a "liar who deceived the world and steal his name", Tang Lan used his personal experience and feelings when dealing with Chen as an example: "In his 700,000-character book, which he tried his best to exaggerate, only the structure of 'oracle bone script and Chinese characters' ’, he wrote 10,000 characters. He basically used the three books of pictography, imagery, and pictophony that I advocated in "Chinese Philology", but because he must be superior, he combined the imagery, imagery, and meaning. Let’s get up and add a kind of “loan words”...Obviously, this kind of work is rambling and adding a lot of things that have nothing to do with the topic. ...Mr. Guo Baojun has a manuscript of "Chinese Bronzeware Studies" with him, and he uses it as much as possible, but writes to Mr. Guo and says, "In many places, what you see is similar." Since "what you see is similar", of course it is not easy to calculate He 'copied' or 'stolen', and in his book, there is no mention of Mr. Guo's work." The skin of the painting was peeled off layer by layer, revealing the real bloody flesh and blood. Tang Lan thought that "Chen Meng's family is neither this family nor that family, and can only be called short-selling experts."After a burst of stabbing and paining, Tang Lan gently caressed the remaining muscles and bones of Chen Meng's family in a victorious posture, and swung the last knife: Chen Mengjia was a big tiger during the Three Antis Movement. The party and the government did not pursue the past, so he should reform himself.But after the adjustment of the department, he transferred to the Institute of Archeology, on the contrary, he raised his tail even higher.For several years, he seemed to be hard-working, busy, and, according to him, "socialist zeal."But what is busy?Busy fighting for power, taking the lead, promoting this, pulling that, forming small circles, sowing dissension, and beating people; Enthusiastic about drama and tricks. ...Chen Mengjia also strongly recommended Guan Xi's letter slandering our leader with words of "very agreeable", saying that those who favored the text reform were "following the big slope" and "behavioured by philistines."Rightists have always been accustomed to using the method of "thieves shouting, stop the thief", so the "philistines" are by no means others but themselves.Chen Mengjia said, "Speaking depends on the timing." Unfortunately, he misread the timing and exposed his feet. This out-and-out philistine cast the wrong opportunity and finally suffered a crushing defeat. After this fatal blow, Chen Mengjia was completely defeated, lying on the ground like a trampled toad, just staring at his eyes, gasping for breath and unable to move.
