Although Mr. Zhu Ziqing is famous for his prose, he has been teaching in universities for a long time, teaching such courses as Selected Poems (based on the origin of ancient poems), Ballads, Tao Yuanming's Poems and Studies of New Literature. He has published literary and artistic reviews such as Miscellaneous Poems, Metre, Poem Expressing Aspiration, Appreciation of Elegance and Vulgarity, and Classic Talking about Capital. His academic research works have profound academic attainments. This heavy literary accumulation seems to be attributed to that generation of literati. This accumulation is naturally related to their reading and love of books.
When Zhu Ziqing was in middle school, he liked reading very much. At that time, the family gave him one yuan of pocket money every month, and most of him gave it to a Guangyi bookstore in his hometown, often owing money. It was from this publishing house that he got a book, Buddhist Yi Jie, which aroused his interest in philosophy.
Later, he came to Peking University to study, majoring in philosophy. Zhu Ziqing prefers Buddhist books. At that time, most Buddhist scriptures were in Jiufeng Temple, a reclining Buddha temple in Xicheng. He once went to the temple to buy books such as "Correct Theory Based on Ming Dynasty", "Hundred Schools of Thought" and "Collection of Translation Names". It was a gloomy autumn afternoon, and Zhu Ziqing was alone in the street. Later, when he recalled in the article, he said: "This kind of stupidity is quite interesting to recall."
1920 is Zhu Ziqing's last year in college. On one occasion, he went to Liulichang to visit the bookstore and saw the new Webster's dictionary in Huayang Bookstore. The price is 14 yuan. Although the money is not too expensive for this big book, it is not a small sum for a student. I don't have that much money at hand, but I really can't bear to part with this book. On second thought, my leather coat is worth some money.
This coat was made by my father for Zhu Ziqing when he got married. It was made of otter fur collar and mink. Although the coat is made of cloth, the style is a bit rustic, and the collar is pieced together with two pairs of "horseshoe sleeves", but it is leather after all. When making it, my father also spent a lot of effort. But at that time, I really could not bear to part with the "big dictionary", thinking that I would be able to redeem my coat in the future. After a long hesitation, I resolutely took it to the pawnshop.
The pawnshop is at the back door of the school. You can turn around. Zhu Ziqing didn't think too much. Because I want to redeem it later, I take the book price as the price: 14 yuan. Of course, the coat is more than this price, so the people at the pawnshop counter are not embarrassed at all and pay immediately.
After taking the money, Zhu Ziqing immediately went to bring back Webster's dictionary. Unexpectedly, the great coat that took my father a lot of effort was not redeemed in the end.
After graduating from college, Zhu Ziqing taught in middle schools in Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces, and was later hired as a professor in the Chinese Department of Tsinghua University. One winter was so cold that Zhu Ziqing didn't have the strength to sew a cotton gown, so he went out to buy a felt cloak for the groom. There are two kinds of this cloak. One is good style, fine and soft, but expensive. Zhu Ziqing couldn't afford it, so he bought a rough but cheap one.
This felt cloak was so conspicuous that it became a symbol of the professor's poverty, so that it later appeared in the pen of friends who recalled Zhu Ziqing many times. However, it kept Zhu Ziqing from taking classes in the city and made a mattress at night, although it was very sad to say. At this time, think about the leather cloak that can't be redeemed, which makes people more obsessed with books.

Qiu Jin and New City
Qiu Jin (.1875-. 1907), whose real name was Xuanqing and Xiong Jing, was a famous female revolutionary in the late Qing Dynasty. Born in Yin Shan, Zhejiang Province, she is proficient in classical poetry and works. After that, I went to Japan to study, founded the vernacular newspaper, joined the underworld and the League, and served as a commentator. China Women's Daily was founded and the Guangfu Army was organized, which made great contributions to overthrowing the Manchu dynasty. . 1907 organized the Zhejiang-Anhui uprising, but the story leaked and the hero died. However, her trip to a new city is little known.
Qiu Jin has a best friend named Xu. Her name is Xu. She married Huzhou, returned to Nanxun Town, Anxian County, and served as the inspector (principal) of Xunxi Girls' School. And Qiu Jin. 1906 also taught in this school after returning from Japan in the spring. Comrade * * * made Qiu Jin and Xu close friends, and Xu had given Qiu Jin more than twenty taels of gold to engage in revolutionary activities. Xu was born in Shimen Town (now Chongfu Town), Chongde County, and lives in Xizhitang (Jinshi), Ximen. Xu Yunhua, Xu's cousin, married the Cao family in the new town of Deqing County. Her husband, Cao Yupu, was once a delicate genius, and his poems and articles were exquisite. Xu Huazi and Xu Yunhua are so close that they talk about everything.
1906 At the turn of spring and summer, Xu and Qiu Jin visited Xu Yunhua, the cousin of Xinshi. Cao's family lives in Caojiayuan, Xianqiao, Nanchang Street, a new town. Cao Zhai said, "Yan Yi Hall" is a famous house in Qing Dynasty in a new town. Cao Yupu and Xu Yunhua treated their cousins Xu and Qiu Jin warmly and wrote poems and lyrics with them. Cao Yupu has a bosom friend Chen Zhujun, who is a member of the League. Knowing that Qiu Jin, the heroine of Jianhu Lake, came to the Cao family in Xincheng, she invited Xu and Qiu Jin to visit the "Shudetang" in Chen Mansion in Xincheng. Chen Zhujun was born around. 1870. He is a new citizen, a great generation of the Green Red Gang, and has become bosom friends with Huang, Huang, and later the Governor of Zhejiang Province in the Republic of China. Mr. Chen Zhujun was also the alternate magistrate of Jiangsu Province during Guangxu period. He started "Wanxing Wool Line" in Hujiafen, a new town. After the Wuchang Uprising, Chen Zhujun participated in the attack on the Governor's Office of Zhejiang Province, and was a member of the death squad together with Chiang Kai-shek (.1887-. 1975). Later, he served as an alternate member of the Kuomintang Central Committee and an executive member of Zhejiang Province, and had calligraphy and painting contacts with Chiang Kai-shek. Introduced by Cao Yupu and Xu Yunhua, Chen Zhujun met Qiu Jin. This time, Qiu Jin stayed in the new town for about three to five days.
Qiu Jin's second visit to the new town probably begins with 1907. She originally lived in Shimen, Xu's maiden. Because the Qing court regarded Qiu Jin as a wanted man and knew her relationship with Xu, Xu took a boat to escort Qiu Jin to Xu Yunhua's home in Xincheng in the middle of the night, and Qiu Jin lived in a building facing south in Caojia Garden (which still exists today). A few days later, Xu Huazi saw Qiu Jin running after him, so he arranged Qiu Jin at Chen Zhujun's house. About a week later, Qiu Jin insisted on going back to Shaoxing, so Chen Zhujun escorted her out by boat in the middle of the night, and the specific location was not tested.
1On July 5th, 907, Qiu Jin was killed by the Qing court in Xuantingkou, Shaoxing. Xu Huazi was very sad and buried Qiu Jin by the Xizi Lake. Cao Yupu and Xu Yunhua also funded Qiu Jin's funeral expenses. In memory of Qiu Jin, Xu initiated the establishment of the Autumn Society, with Xu Yunhua and Cao Yupu as members. Mr. Liu Yazi (1.887- 1.959), a famous poet in modern China, was a friend of Qiu Jin and Xu. In February 1948, he wrote a seven-character poem in Hongkong to remember the friendship between Qiu Jin and Xu. The original poem was destroyed, and its copy was kept in the new city. The poem says: "Autumn Pavilion does not exist." When Huang Shaohua and others are waiting for Xiao, tomorrow, if Sunflower cries far away, my old friends in the underground should be kind to me and spring will come to Gushan. Signature: "Move and bury Mrs. Xu Qianhui."
Bing Xin, my pride
Bing Xin100th Anniversary Lei Jieqiong
My dear friend Bing Xin left me after 1999, and I am very sad. How I want to hold another bouquet of red roses and tell her about our friendship for nearly 70 years.
I met Bing Xin at 193 1. I came back from studying in the United States and applied to teach in the Sociology Department of yenching university. At that time, the dean was Bing Xin's husband, Mr. Wu Wenzao. Bing Xin teaches in the Chinese Department of yenching university. We know each other and are close friends. I come from Guangdong and have no home in Beiping. Bing Xin often invites me to her house, and the relationship is very close.
I remember 1934 before the Anti-Japanese War, I was invited by Bing Xin to participate in social investigation activities along Pingsui (now Beijing-Baotou Railway). After returning from the inspection, Bing Xin, Wu Wenzao and I successively published articles such as A Trip to Bailing Temple, Mongolian yurts, and General Situation of Catholicism along Pingsui. In front of the yurt at Bailing Temple in Baotou, the photo of Bing Xin and I is still treasured. The past is vivid, and more than 60 years have passed. ...
War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression Beiping fell, yenching university was forced to close, and Bing Xin and I also closed. Go to Jiangxi to engage in anti-Japanese and national salvation activities. Bing Xin's family went through a lot of hardships, moved to Kunming and Chongqing in the rear area, joined the China Literature and Art Anti-Enemy Association, and engaged in cultural salvation activities. After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, Bing Xin and Wu Wenzao went to Japan for social investigation, during which Bing Xin was invited to teach at the University of Tokyo.
In the bonfire of the Anti-Japanese War, Bing Xin and I are far apart, and I don't want to bid farewell to Beiping at 14!
Bing Xin returned to China 195 1. Later, I heard from her that when I heard the news of the founding of New China in Japan, I felt the joy I had never felt in my life. She went to anxious to return and finally returned to the vibrant Beijing after many twists and turns. She told me excitedly that Premier Zhou Enlai met with her and Wu Wenzao in Zhongnanhai.
It was an unforgettable time. The new country, new people and new life inspired Bing Xin's creation. Bing Xin praised the new China, described the new life, praised the truth, goodness and beauty, and wrote a lot of works. In addition, Bing Xin devoted herself to international communication activities with vigorous energy. As the cultural emissary of the people of China, she frequently visits, makes friends and runs for the cause of world peace and human progress ... 1956. After my introduction, Bing Xin and Wu Wenzao joined the China Association for the Promotion of Democracy. In our communication, new content has been added.
Bing Xin is a writer. She is the same age as the twentieth century. Her 80-year writing career shows the great track of China's modern literature from the May 4th literary revolution to today's new period literature. Bing Xin's broad love, in keeping with the pulse of the times, has incorporated more than 7 million words of works, which has influenced and educated generation after generation. Bing Xin has a consistent sense of responsibility to the country, society and people. She is a model of patriotic intellectuals. She once said that my favorite occupation is teaching, and loving education is patriotism.
When we woke up from the nightmare of the "Cultural Revolution", Bing Xin said that "life begins at the age of eighty", and her creation reached the second climax, with hundreds of works coming out. I'm very happy for her. Bing Xin's works in his later years are mostly important social themes that come straight to the point and pay attention to the future and destiny of the country. Among them, "I ask" and "I thank you" are even more inspiring and have a huge social response. This is a portrayal of Bing Xin's sincerity, integrity and courage. 1993 bing Xin said in an article that "education is the foundation of a century-old plan. To govern the country, we must not forget to take education as the foundation. ..... So I called in an article' Don't sit idly by and watch an China, 9.6 million square kilometers of fertile soil will become a vast and boundless cultural desert in 2 1 century'. " Her concern for the country and people has so far warned us that we cannot relax our efforts when implementing the strategy of rejuvenating the country through science and education.
To this end, Bing Xin is more practical. In recent years, Bing Xin has donated nearly 200,000 yuan to Sociology Scholarship of Minzu University of China, Soong Ching Ling Foundation, Anhui Disaster Area, Fujian Hometown School, Rural Women's Education and Development Foundation and National Hope Project. In order to give children richer and more delicious spiritual food, we should take care of the "Bing Xin Award" for children's books, which was established in 1989, aiming at the prosperity and development of children's literature. Every selection, Bing Xin should personally review the works and reward the authors. She encourages everyone to leave beautiful things to their children, care for the children around them and look forward to the future of the motherland. ...
Bing Xin has been living in Beijing Hospital since the autumn of 1994. She is always optimistic. On the eve of Hong Kong's return, she wrote the words "Hong Kong's return, my heart is happy" before she died, and the lines were full of love for the motherland.
In recent years, every time Bing Xin 10 has a birthday, I always send roses and my blessings, and often bring my newspaper clippings to her. That's an article or photo about her that I cut from the newspaper when I was on a business trip or visiting. I went to see her on her birthday last year and she thanked me. I can't forget the gentle words, the smile ... At that time, I leaned down and kissed her cheek, saying I love you, and she said I love you. The shutter of the camera flashed and took this eternal moment, which is my treasure.
1994, when my anthology was published, Bing Xin gladly prefaced it. She called me her dearest friend in the preface. I think this is more suitable for me to say to her: Bing Xin, my favorite friend. Dear friends talk about everything. Bing Xin's story is a story about beauty and love. She left us a lot. ...
Bing Xin is my pride and the pride of China people.
Quotations from Liang Shiqiu
Author: Liang Shiqiu
Swallow something raw-accept something uncritically.
Exoticism is always interesting, because exoticism is always novel. Novel and interesting. However, if you move the exotic atmosphere to your home to practice, the novelty will often become a shackle and the fun will often become disgusting. For this reason, many people still drink tea without sugar and milk.

Lu Xun's last words before his death were "If you don't forgive others, Dont Ask For Help will forgive you." This attitude can certainly be prepared.

The Life of Romantic Piano Poet Chopin
Author: The author is unknown
Polish romantic poet cyprien Camille Novid wrote in the first sentence of Chopin Bulletin published in June 1849+ 18. For such an evaluation, especially the last part, only today Chopin's music has aroused the interest of people all over the world and really made us realize how appropriate it is. We are not only happy for Chopin's works in the repertoire of outstanding pianists, but also happy for the vast number of interpreters of Chopin's music from all over the world. One of the most obvious examples is the Chopin International Piano Competition, which was founded in 1927. The winners are players from all over the world. As early as 1955, the winners of the 5th Chopin International Piano Competition were Mr. Fu Cong of People's Republic of China (PRC) and Kiko T of Japan.
Anaka Chen Limin from China and ACHOT-HAROUTUNIAN from Iran were widely appreciated in the following competitions. In the 2000 competition, Di Yun of China fully demonstrated his understanding of Chopin's music and his undoubted success as a pianist. Only through these examples can we see that it is quite appropriate that Chopin, a great musical genius, is regarded as "world-famous".
In The Romantic Period, Chopin, as an outstanding composer of Polish national music style, has a very unique historical position. In the history of 19 European music development, the national music style occupied a dominant position. Although all Chopin's works have the traditional music style from Poland, Chopin's Mazuka shows the national style of Poland more intensively. Chopin used the most beautiful Polish melody in Mazzuca, which is still admired by the world, making today's musicians truly experience the unique Polish style in his music for the first time.
1 810 On March, 20001day, Chopin was born in a small village called Gerlazo Vavola, 50 kilometers west of Warsaw. He showed extraordinary musical talent in his early years. Father nicolas chopin, French, came to Poland at the age of 1788. The reason why he came to Poland is still unclear, but he probably took an active part in the national resistance movement led by Polish general TADEUSZ KOCIUSZKO in 1794 and fought for his freedom to move into the country. 1800, he became a French teacher for the daughter and wife of Starosta, the regional governor. /kloc-in the autumn of 0/802, nicolas chopin accepted the invitation of Countess Ludwig Scarbeck to take charge of the education and teaching of her children and live with her family in Zhelezovavola. Here, he met the countess's distant relative, Miss Tecla yust Krzyanovska. They got married on June 2nd, 1806, and their second child FRYDERYK was born on June 2nd, 18 10. In the same year, the Chopin family moved to Warsaw.
Chopin showed his extraordinary musical talent when he was six years old. His family hired a famous piano teacher, Mr. Wojciech. He not only fully demonstrated the beauty of music for young Chopin, but also made him familiar with the works of a large number of music masters. His teaching is full of interest and wisdom, which laid the foundation for Chopin's personality and creativity as a pianist. Chopin's first performance was a charity concert at the Radzweil family palace, when he was only 8 years old. 18 18 Warsaw daily wrote: "He can not only play the most difficult piano works perfectly and easily, but also create interesting dance music and variations." Later, Chopin often appeared in the mansion of dignitaries.
Then Chopin's parents realized that even the greatest musical genius could not do it without professional education. So they decided to give Chopin a systematic professional education. Chopin graduated from Lv Keang College in Warsaw on 1926 and entered the Warsaw Conservatory of Music, where he studied under the famous music educator and composer Mr. Joseph Elsner. During this period, Chopin composed most piano and orchestral works, including Variations No.2 in B flat major, Fantasia No.0/3 in A major with Polish melody, Rondo No.0/4 in F major, Piano Sonata No.4 in C minor, Violin and Cello No.8 in G minor, and Polonaise, Mazzuca and Waltz. Elsner soon realized Chopin's extraordinary musical talent, and he actively guided and protected his creativity and innovation. In Chopin's second academic year report, he wrote: "extraordinary ability", and a year later: "extraordinary ability, musical genius".
After graduating from Warsaw Conservatory of Music, Chopin began to want to play his musical talent in major music centers in Europe. By chance, he chose Vienna, where they both achieved great success as composers and pianists. 1829, the commentary on "ALLGEMEINE THEATERZEITUNG" wrote: "Chopin conquered everyone, because people not only discovered his musical talent ... judging from the primitiveness of his performance and creation, he can be said to be a musical genius ... His performance is definitely not a display of skills, which is the difference between being an artist and putting on airs. Let us see the real artist from this unknown young man. " Other comments also wrote: "great works", "beautiful performances", "indescribable skills" and so on. These are the first time that Chopin's musical talent has been recognized internationally.
At the age of 20, Chopin was famous for his piano concertos in E minor and F minor in Warsaw. Shortly thereafter, he decided to go abroad. In this foreign-ruled country, the political situation is constantly tense and the revolution is imminent. This situation is very unfavorable to the development of his music career, so he started his artistic journey in February of 1830. Attending the farewell party were his family, his first love KONSTANCJA, Professor ELSNER and some friends. Chopin didn't realize that he would leave the motherland forever, that is, from that moment on, his life full of countless joys and pains will always be accompanied by endless homesickness.
In his second hometown of Paris, Chopin soon made friends with a group of artists at that time, including Liszt, Schumann, Mendelssohn and Schiller. Mainly engaged in creative and teaching work, occasionally attending concerts. He doesn't want to be a pianist, because 19' s actual pianist is to please the audience with all kinds of playing skills and win fame and fortune. Chopin wanted to show the audience the true beauty of music. His playing style is quite different from that generally accepted by the public, so he is often compared with contemporary pianists. This comparison is usually in Chopin's favor. Charles Halley, an outstanding British pianist and conductor, once said, "Compared with Chopin, Kalkbrenner is just a child". Heinrich heine said, "Liszt eclipsed all pianists except piano master Chopin".
Through these, we can easily see that Chopin has extraordinary piano skills and he can become a dazzling star on the piano stage. However, he would rather play for an artistic audience who can really understand his music. Besides these, Chopin held only 30 public concerts in his life. Everyone who has heard Chopin's "learning" concert strongly believes that only in this kind of private concert between friends can great artists explain the true meaning of music and give play to their artistic talents.
Chopin is famous as a composer. The most favorable proof is that Chopin's creative artistic achievements are constantly accepted and spread by more world audiences. He is an extraordinary composer, and he has created extraordinary artistic achievements with extraordinary artistic talent. He is also the only composer who focuses on the creation of a musical instrument. Although Warsaw's music groups, even including El
