Historically, how did Xin Yiyun tell the story of his mentor Qian Mu?

Teacher Xin Yiyun, a famous Chinese scholar, educator, speaker and aesthete, Qian Mu's closed disciple, Taiwan famous master of Chinese studies.

On January 8, 1992, Qian Mu, a master of Chinese culture, returned to his hometown, and after nearly half a century away from his hometown in Wuxi, Jiangsu, he finally returned to this land in a special form. Qian Mu has experienced a century of turmoil, half a lifetime of displacement, and even the inability to reunite with his children for the rest of his life. Mr. often said in his later years, he often said that you have not been in the mainland, when you stay too young, you can't remember, you don't know the situation on the mainland, he said that I always think about when I was young, I close my eyes, sometimes I don't close my eyes, I see the sparkling waves of Taihu Lake, it was really a beautiful time. In 1967, the seventy-three-year-old Qian Mu traveled in Hong Kong and United States for many years, and finally chose Taiwan as his last lecture and residence, and this Sushu Building was specially built for him by the Taiwan authorities at that time in recognition of the cultural contributions of the master of Chinese studies, in 1969, it was in this Sushu Building, Xin Yiyun, an ignorant and young college student, met Qian Mu, a mentor who would influence his life, for the first time. We went to the Institute of History to ask, he was in the Institute of History, and their staff said that it was not open to the public, and he would not be able to come, and then he had a classmate, he was in the Department of History, and he was responsible for compiling a school publication, and he wanted to come to Mr. Qian Mu to get a manuscript, and Mr. Qian Mu promised to write for this school publication, so he came, and he followed him, and he was thinking, even if it was really not allowed, even if he told me that he couldn't stay here, he couldn't stay here, then I stood outside the door and listened to the lecture through the screen window, but I didn't expect it. Not only did I come in, but I also sat down at the big table, and at that time there were few people who took classes, but three years later, and in the third year, there were more people, so I sat down below. The gentleman came down from the upper floor, very kindly, smiled, and said, "Hello, hello", and said that our lesson for today starts from this place. In the classroom of that year, there were cabinets here, a row of cabinets, some things were placed on it, and then there was a door here, and a small blackboard was hung on the door, Xin Yiyun described his mood when he first saw Qian Mu, and he was so excited that he was about to fly, this is probably the common voice of all the students present, liberal arts students, it can be said that there are few people who have not heard of Qian Mu's name, Qian Mu is self-taught with a high school diploma, and has become a generation of masters of Chinese studies, especially in the study of China's general history, Qian Mu is a big man who founded the sectSince the age of 36, Qian Mu has taught at Yen Ching Restaurant University, Peking University, Tsinghua University, Southwest Associated University and other famous universities, and he has also lectured on Chinese culture at Yale University in United States. When Xin Yiyun and his classmates saw Qian Mu, Mr. was already in his old age, and the master of Chinese culture opened the class at such an advanced age, and the students naturally cherished the opportunity to listen to the lecture, in their imagination, the master of Chinese culture should be gentle and elegant, but no one expected that Qian Mu's first lesson surprised this group of students. Seeing Mr. excited, patting the table, the big round table downstairs is where he went to class, he talked about patting the table and thought he was losing his temper, because his accent they couldn't understand, they felt that speaking, the decline faced by the Chinese in modern times, etc., made these people who speak Chinese culture too anxious, you look at all so angry and excited, bang the table, in fact, no, Mr. is full of interest, and then talk about happiness, or talk about a certain kind of excitement, you see, you see, He is actually reminding us that at the beginning, seeing Mr. Qian Mu's excited performance in class, Xin Yiyun thought that Mr. was a hot-tempered person, but as the contact deepened, he gradually found that Mr. Qian's temper was only limited to the classroom, and Qian Mu outside the classroom had a completely different attitude. He is completely unwavering in principle, completely unwavering, but he will not resort to words, to argue, he will not, he said that you should not spend too much time on pen battles, unless you really have something to say, he said that the important thing is to spend time really reading the scriptures, he said that the truth does not depend on debate, Westerners say that the more they argue, the clearer they become, he said that in fact, many truths are not said by debate. From the first time I met Qian Mu to Qian Mu's death, Xin Yiyun was fortunate to follow Mr. Qian Mu for 13 years, in 23 years, Xin Yiyun changed from a college student to a lecturer, and Qian Mu also went from the old age to the old age, in Xin Yiyun's eyes, Qian Mu's influence on himself is not only academic, but also how to look at life. Once on the old man's 90th birthday, or 95th birthday, a student said to himself, teacher, I was 15 years old to study with you, I used to teach in high school at that time, and then you took us to read Mr. Qian's book, now we are all 30 years old, we haven't seen Mr. Qian, that gentleman's birthday now, can you bring me to see Mr. Qian, it may be the day of his Qian Mu's 90th birthday, I asked Mr., asked my wife, Mr. is okay, Mr. is in good health, so he said yes, come and come, and brought a group of children. When he came, he was very happy, and they asked questions, and he answered, and chatted, and at that time he was still smoking, so he lit a match, smoked a cigarette, and then shook the match, and when he was in the middle of this, he said, "Look, I was already in my nineties in my negligence, and now my body is like this match, although it can still be lit, but you see, shake it, and the fire will go out, and life will come like this unconsciously, you are thirty years old, you are forty-five years old, I am ninety years old, and then I say, It's already ninety in a trance, and you will all one day, you have to work hard, so that you can learn how to face old age. Qian Mu became famous in the thirties of the last century, he has a profound foundation in Chinese studies, and his research fields span literature, history, and philosophy, among which he is the author of "New Interpretation of the Analects", "Mencius Studies", and "Lao Tzu's Debate" that study the hundred schools of thought; "The Spirit of Chinese History", "Political Gains and Losses of Chinese Dynasties", and "History of the Qin and Han Dynasties"; There are also easy-to-understand and interesting prose sketches "Thoughts on the Lake" and "Eighty Memories of Parents", almost every book can arouse great discussions in the academic circles and readers after the publication of almost every book, and bring new changes to the study of traditional culture. At the end of the sixties of the last century, when Xin Yiyun first worshiped under Qian Mu's disciple, Qian Mu was already a recognized master of Chinese studies in the academic world, but to Xin Yiyun's surprise, Qian Mu not only never put up a shelf on the ground, but also let the students teach themselves in the opposite way. He said that I was a little bit of a lack of attention, so he said I think, I am not easy to have new ideas to tell you, you, I hope that the next time I come, when we go to class again, you have to tell me, then our classmates have to say, say how to do this, how can we tell Mr. to listen to it, we are so disturbed by Mr.'s soft voice, we are here today to ask Mr. to teach, like this, guidance, he Qian Mu said, no, no, he said I have no way now, really, I want to say that there may be some repetitive words, I can't tell you anything new, so I think you can tell me about it, you are all in school, and you are all teaching in foreign countries, so the students will say, and some students will continue to say, we are talking to the students, and he Qian Mu said, you can't say that, he said that you can tell the students, do you mean that you can talk nonsense to the students, and one of the students also said, how can we say to a university scholar like Mr., he said no, no, no, how many years have you all been teaching, since you can talk to the students like this? You should tell me, this is equality, and you will tell me about it in the future.

Many people did not expect that being modest and studious was the deepest impression that Mr. Qian Mu, who was a master of Chinese studies, left on his disciple Xin Yiyun. In the 80s of the last century, Qian Mu was over 90 years old, but he was still quick and tireless, and every time Xin Yiyun and his classmates visited his home, he would always ask the students with concern about the new changes in society and culture, and he was not proud of his status and knowledge. After several small talks, Xin Yiyun learned that the teacher Qian Mu's non-arrogant and impatient attitude was the result of the family education that his parents attached the most importance to him in his childhood. He Qian Mu talked about "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" in the teahouse, and he spoke vividly, Mr.'s father, Mr. Tai, did not stop him, let him speak, when he went back after speaking, when the father and son went back from the teahouse, crossed a bridge, he asked Qian Mu, if the wooden side of the bridge was replaced with the horse character, he Qian Mu said that he was proud of pride. He said that you are not a little arrogant today, and Mr. immediately had an epiphany. Mr. Mother was educated in a similar way. When Qian Mu was twelve years old, his father passed away, and all the inheritance his father left him was books. He Qian Mu found out that he was a rural child with limited learning, so he went to read the newspaper, as long as he heard something from his classmates or anyone, he would pursue it, and then ask, is this really the case, is it so, why is it so, he will go to the recourse. Since his youth, the tireless Qian Mu has emulated the experience of the ancients in reading, reading classics every morning, reading historical books at night, and reading miscellaneous books in the afternoon. The so-called people who know a little about the past history of their country must be accompanied by a kind of warmth and respect for the past history of their country, which is a sentence in the introduction to Qian Mu's book "Outline of National History" written in 1939. Forty-five-year-old Qian Mu is teaching at the Southwest Associated University, the rise and fall of the world, the responsibility of the husband, all a literati can do is to arouse the confidence of the people with the pen in his hand, Qian Mu to learn from history, from history to find the answer to this war, in his book issued a cry that China will not forget. Sir is all connected, your material and military power is visible, but there is still invisible power in war, he wrote from this place, and then said that he will definitely win. He hid in Suzhou to write and do the final work, and took them out one by one, causing a sensation, so that all those who read his books at that time, especially the intellectual youth, joined the army one after another.

In 1969, when Xin Yiyun and Qian Mu formed a teacher-student relationship, Mr. Qian Mu was already a seventy-five-year-old man, almost blind, sick, and unable to leave the care of others for a moment. One day when I came by myself, my wife said, "You came just right today, you come, you come, accompany my husband, he can sit up today, you can chat with my husband, I will go out and do other things, then my wife explained, she went out and was busy doing other things, so I sat in that room, and then my husband leaned on the bed, chatted, and asked him what had happened recently, and reported to him the same and more important things, and chatted like this, and the husband said that this illness was not light. He said, "You see that your wife hasn't gone to bed for three months, she is leaning against the wall and watching my movements, and then I saw that on the wall, a sloping board, with a pillow tied to it, and then a mattress underneath, the bed is here, and he said that your wife is like this, leaning here to greet me, it's really hard, it's really hard, that's it.
