Shao Lizi, vice president of Shanghai University, was very satisfied with Lin Zixuan's class.

The school invited Lin Zixuan to give lectures to use Lin Zixuan's fame to set off the sign of Shanghai University. If Lin Zixuan talks about some poetry creation without any pain, he will be disappointed.

Lin Zixuan talked about "Dream of Red Mansions" at Fudan University, which caused shock to the Red Academic community.

Now that I have talked about the new literature at Shanghai University, it will definitely cause controversy in the field of new literature.

Shanghai University is not afraid of controversy, but instead advocates controversy. If a school does not have several controversial professors, then the school will have no future.

This is an era of great ideological changes, with various ideas from the East and the West colliding and exchanged fiercely.

The waves wash away the sand, some ideas are submerged in history, while others are preserved and become the ideological foundation of this country.

I am not afraid of you speaking, but I am afraid that you will not be able to express new ideas.

Professors from Shanghai University have a new understanding of Lin Zixuan.

In the past, they thought Lin Zixuan should be the kind of talented and arrogant young man, with a bit arrogant.

Because Lin Zixuan is famous, he rarely participates in Shanghai literary activities and only appears in a small circle. Not many people really know him, which creates an illusion of coldness to the outside world.

In fact, people who truly know Lin Zixuan, such as Zhou Shoujuan, will think he is a very low-key and modest person.

Lin Zixuan knew his true level and had a correct understanding of himself, so he consciously kept a low-key and humble state. Of course, he still showed off when he should show off. This should be divided into occasions.

In this lecture, he established a new image for the outside world.

At least, professors and students at Shanghai University think Lin Zixuan is a sincere and funny person. There are not many people who can face his past, and even fewer people who dare to speak out in public places and criticize themselves.

This is a typical example of a prodigal son who returns to the gold without changing his gold.

Lin Zixuan's lectures are quite interesting and the views put forward are even more novel. This is true talent and knowledge, which is consistent with his current reputation, rather than just having a false reputation.

He is worthy of being the rising star of New Literature and the most representative figure of New Literature after Luxun and Hu Shi.

With Lin Zixuan, a benchmark figure in new literature, from then on, Shanghai University can also be said to be the center of new literature.

On the second day, Lin Zixuan's views on new literature appeared in the newspaper.

This is an article written by a professor at Shanghai University, which tells in detail about Lin Zixuan's first lesson at Shanghai University.

Because it was Lin Zixuan's first view of new literature, it attracted considerable attention.

In order to prevent others from taking things out of context, Lin Zixuan wrote an article entitled "My Views in New Literature", which elaborated on his own insights on new literature, which is more complete than the content in the classroom.

He reviewed his writing history.

Therefore, it is believed that new literature should be diverse and should be inclusive. It can be Luxun-style criticism, poetry romanticism, or passionate revolutionary literature.

These do not conflict, this is the blooming of flowers and the controversy of hundreds of schools of thought.

He then raised the question of "take-it-it-it-it-it-it-it-it-it-it-it-it-it-it-it-it-it-it-it-it-it-it-it-it-it-it-it-it-it-it-it-it-it-it-it-it-it-it-it-it-it-it-it-it-it-it-it-it-it-it-it-it-it-it-it-it-it-it-it-

In short, it is to absorb the essence and eliminate the dross.

Finally, he attributed to the philosophical level, he talked about the dialectics of ancient Greece, seeking truth through dialectical methods.

Socrates regarded dialectics as the art of discovering truth through arguments of opposing opinions.

There is a similar saying in China, where the truth cannot be distinguished, and the matter cannot be clearly understood.

Therefore, don’t be afraid of arguments or practice. Practice is the only criterion for testing truth.

These are three interlocking views, which basically talk about the main problems that arise in new literature at present, and propose solutions, that is, practice.

Whoever is right and wrong will know through practice.

Of course, this practice cannot be completed overnight, but has a long-term process.

Whoever’s point of view is in line with the trend of this era is right, otherwise it will be eliminated by the times. This is the choice of the times, or it can be said to be the choice of the people.

Lin Zixuan's article "My Views on New Literature" was published in the supplement "Xued Lamp", which had a great impact not only in Shanghai, but also in Peking.

All factions of the new literature have issued articles to respond, with support and criticism.

A faction led by Hu Shi supports the inclusiveness of new literature and believes that new literature should flourish.

Luxun appreciates the theory of the word, but he thinks that new literature should have a progressive spirit. It is a good thing that a hundred flowers bloom together, but those harmful weeds should also be removed.

The faction that supports revolutionary literature believes that using dialectics to verify truth is in line with Marxist philosophy, new literature is revolutionary literature, in line with the trend of the times, and will eventually be verified as truth.

Writers of the Mandarin duck butterfly school expressed different opinions.

They believe that there are also essences and dross in old literature, and some novels express the spirit of progress and cannot be generalized.

Therefore, the debate about the fact that novels such as "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" are not part of new literature are quarreled in Shanghai newspapers.

Zheng Zhenduo complained to Lin Zixuan, believing that Lin Zixuan's point of view was correct, but it was too advanced.

When new literature defeats old literature or takes the upper hand, this view is put forward before new literature can be put forward, new literature can judge and clarify the essence and dross in old literature as a winner.

Now that new literature is just beginning, this term undoubtedly provides a rebuttal argument for old literature.

Lin Zixuan could only comfort him that new literature is a major trend in society, and this difficulty is nothing. He gritted his teeth and passed. The road is tortuous, the future is bright, and the future belongs to new literature.

He was just talking, and he didn't need to fight against old literature anyway.

Lin Zixuan has also read the debate in the newspaper, and there are many articles criticizing him.

Some people think that Lin Zixuan makes students not superstitious about authority, but he has portrayed himself as the authority of new literature and made students superstitious about his style. Is this progress or a regression?

Some people think that the solution proposed by Lin Zixuan is completely useless and is just a procrastination strategy.

The so-called practice is just to leave the problem to time to judge. After decades, we will naturally know who is right and who is wrong. Then everyone will not have to do anything and wait.

This is actually a change of concepts. Practice is not about waiting, but constantly arguing and verifying to obtain the truth.

Some people even think that Lin Zixuan’s narration of the past in America is certainly commendable, but it also shows that he has the idea of ​​corruption and enjoyment in his bones. Staying like this kind of person in the new literary team is a hidden danger, and this potential cancer should be eliminated as soon as possible.

Lin Zixuan did not make any excuses for this because a group of people were trying their best to defend him.

The members of the Crescent Society, led by Xu Zhimo, were very active in this debate and stood firmly on Lin Zixuan's side.
