Mr. Lu Simian (1884-1957) was an important historian and educator in modern China. He was rigorous in his academic research and read the Twenty-Four Histories many times, but he was not satisfied with the Qianlong and Jiaqing textual research, but was committed to integrating it into his own thinking. He advocated that learning should be combined with reality and opposed academic pursuit for the sake of academic pursuit. However, he stayed away from politics and lived a simple life. He once said: "In conducting myself, I always take the ancient sages and scholars as my role models", but he also said that he was "deeply convinced" of Marxism-Leninism. However, it is well known that Mr. Lu is diligent and honest in his studies and is undoubtedly a scholar with his own unique ideas. Therefore, these seemingly tortuous thoughts and attitudes mentioned above actually reflect a specific context of the times and also demonstrate a transcendent life type.
Mr. Lü Simian is renowned as a historian, yet in the traditional lineage of scholarship, literature, history, and philosophy have never been clearly separated. Scholars often integrate, complement, and mutually reinforce each other in their reading and research. Mr. Lü was no exception. He studied the Tongcheng School in his early years, later admired the pre-Qin and Han dynasties, and also gained insights into poetry, considering himself a member of the orthodox lineage of classicism. He once stated, "I have a good talent for literature, and I have had no teachers in my life; I have learned everything through reading." As his disciple, Mr. Huang Yongnian, said, Mr. Lü's literary attainments were profound, and his personal teaching of Chinese literature was unique and distinctive. Now, in the nineteenth volume of the Complete Works of Lü Simian, five of Mr. Lü's works on Chinese literature and the history of Chinese literature are compiled: "On Poetry," "Literature of the Song Dynasty," "Selected Readings in the History of Chinese Literature," "Selected Readings in Chinese Literature," and "Commentary on 'Guan Zhi of Ancient Prose'." These works are mostly derived from his classroom lectures and teaching notes, which makes them more detailed and specific; they serve as an introductory step for beginners and can also inspire deep thinking for those who are pursuing advanced studies.
Since the vernacular movement of the early 20th century, literary education has always been a fierce battleground for the clash between old and new ideologies in China. In his daily teaching, Mr. Lü demonstrated both the profound and dignified nature of classical Chinese and his understanding of the necessity of vernacular Chinese in expressing modern sentiments. His discussions were plain and insightful, guiding students to genuinely appreciate ancient texts and carefully examine the historical context behind language, syntax, and style. When we compare his insights with his historical perspective, we can better appreciate his profound reflections on the origins of literary styles, literary interests, and the evolution of the Chinese language.
On November 22, 114, the "Sushulou Lecture Hall" invites all friends to join Professor Fu Kechang in revisiting Mr. Lü Simian's literature classes. From poetry theory and literary history to classic readings, we will see how a scholar who integrates literature and history reveals the essence, evolution, and realm of culture and thought through his commentary on ancient and modern articles.
