This school is National Southwest Associated University-referred to as National Southwest Associated University for short. However, its appearance is a shame and a helpless move. The July 7th Incident broke out 1937, the Japanese invaders invaded Beiping, and the Sino-Japanese war started in an all-round way. In order to avoid the destruction of the Japanese army, the teachers and students of the National Peking University, the National Tsinghua University and the private Nankai University were urgently transferred to Changsha, where the National Changsha Temporary University was established. Later, the Japanese invaders approached, all the way south, and finally moved to Kunming, renamed National Southwest United University.
Due to the hasty trip and the destruction of the enemy, the Japanese enemy planes bombed constantly, and the teachers and students of the National The National SouthWest Associated University went through all kinds of hardships and finally came to Kunming, Yunnan. In the early days of running a school, The National SouthWest Associated University was short of materials, office conditions and teaching materials, but it gathered a group of masters, such as Mei Yiqi, Zhang Boling, Wen Yiduo, Zhang Yinlin, Zhu Ziqing, Chen Yinque and Feng Youlan. They are well-read and familiar with Chinese and Western cultures, and they have inherited China's "context" with their exquisite knowledge, free souls and profound thoughts.
Celebrities such as Yang Zhenning, Li Zhengdao, Huang Kun, Deng Jiaxian and Wang Zengqi were all born in Ran Ran. They are all legends of natural science, literature, philosophy, history and society in China.
Wang Zengqi recalled Wen Yiduo's lectures on Songs of the South and Ancient Myths, and wrote: "Mr. Wen lit a pipe, and so did those of us who can smoke (Mr. Wen can smoke in class). Mr. Wen opened his notes and began to say,' If you drink too much, you can become famous by reading Li Sao.' ..... Wen Yiduo taught ancient myths, "illustrated". He used a whole piece of wool paper to draw various portraits of Fuxi and Nu Wa, nailed them on the blackboard, and pointed at them as he spoke. They were colorful, well-organized, brilliant and fascinating. "
Chen Yinque's lectures are often packed, and many teachers of the general assembly will come to attend. When he was teaching, he said that there were three things he didn't talk about: "Some books don't talk, some books don't talk, and he doesn't talk about what he said." Even masters like Zhu Ziqing, Feng Youlan and Wu Mi will sit below and listen to his lectures, taking notes in class, "coming here with great admiration and returning home with full load".
Today, these great scholars and professors have passed away, and now students can't enjoy their lectures in person. Only by imagining the scene at that time from all kinds of written records can there be a spiritual communication across time and space.
Although the masters are far away, the spiritual wealth they left behind is worth learning, learning and inheriting forever. Therefore, Tiandi Publishing House has launched a series of books to show readers the educational spirit and master style of the national The National SouthWest Associated University from three aspects: literature, philosophy and national history. We can also fully understand the cultural and ideological characteristics of the Chinese nation from the book.
Among them, The Course of National History of National Southwest Associated University brings together the lectures and works of four professors, including Zhang Yinlin, Chen Yinque, Wu Han and Lei Haizong, and extracts the fields that each gentleman is best at, rearranging them according to the years and presenting them to readers.
Zhang Yinlin made a deep study on the history of the pre-Qin and Han Dynasties. He studied in Tsinghua for seven years and was one of the four gifted scholars in Tsinghua College of Literature. In the second year of his admission, he published a paper "Questioning Confucius' Theory for more than 100 years after the birth of Laozi", questioning Liang Qichao's textual research. Liang Qichao not only did not care, but greatly appreciated his knowledge.
Besides historiography, Zhang Yinlin has profound attainments in philosophy, sociology, ethics, politics and many other aspects. He is full of critical spirit, far-sighted, unconventional, and won the appreciation of academic circles. It's a pity that he died at the age of 37, which is embarrassing.
Needless to say, Mr. Chen Yinque is a master of Chinese studies, one of the four great philosophers in Tsinghua in the past century, and is also called the four great historians with Lv Simian, Chen Yuan and Qian Mu. Mr. Chen Yinque has a deep research on Sui and Tang Dynasties, and has written works such as A Brief Discussion on the Origin of Sui and Tang Dynasties System and Political History of Tang Dynasty.
Wu Han is one of the pioneers and founders of the study of modern Ming history. Representative works include Biography of Zhu Yuanzhang and Brief History of Ming Dynasty. During the Cultural Revolution, he was criticized and persecuted for the new historical drama "Hai Rui dismissed from office" and finally committed suicide.
Mr. Lei Haizong has made great achievements in the study of the general history of China. He studied history and philosophy at the University of Chicago, USA, and received a doctorate in philosophy. He is the author of General History of China, Selected Readings of General History of China and General History of the West.
A Course of National History of National Southwest Associated University not only enables readers to deeply understand the society, system and life of China in past dynasties, but also grasps the causes and effects of historical evolution and its laws. It also allows readers to appreciate the master's academic style and realize the importance of civilization inheritance and cultural education to a nation when the mountains and rivers are broken and the country is in danger, which greatly enhances readers' national pride and cultural self-confidence.
