Chapter 218 The Beauty of Traditional Culture

When Lin Zixuan talked about inheriting traditional culture, many Peking University students left the stage.

In this era, Peking University can be said to be the birthplace of new culture. Cai Yuanqi put forward the school-running concept of "free thoughts, inclusiveness and inclusiveness". Peking University's academic atmosphere is free and accommodates the ideas of various schools.

There are both radical new cultures and conservative Chinese studies.

This has caused collisions and conflicts of various ideas. The students are the same and have their own positions.

This is how universities should be, cultivating various types of talents, rather than being slaves carved out of a mold.

Most of the students who left the stage were radicals, believing that Lin Zixuan supported the conservatives, just like Lin Zixuan defended Tagore in the supplement of the Morning Post.

They thought Lin Zixuan returned from studying in the West and was a leader in new literature and should stand on their side.

Therefore, when he heard that Lin Zixuan advocated traditional culture, he left disappointedly.

When Lin Zixuan talked about choosing to learn Western culture, and clearly distinguishing the essence and dross of Western culture. When he could not accept it in full, some students left the stage.

These students are conservatives and are relatively resistant to Western culture.

They originally thought that Lin Zixuan supported Tagore and promoted traditional culture, but they did not expect that Lin Zixuan still supported Western culture.

As a result, the huge auditorium has changed from hundreds to hundreds, and most of the students who persisted are curious.

After all, Lin Zixuan is very famous in Shanghai and has never been to Peking. They have always heard only the sounds and did not see anyone.

Compared with Lu Xun and Hu Shi who taught at Peking University, Lin Zixuan is too famous, but he is too young and too unfamiliar, so they want to hear Lin Zixuan's opinions.

Lin Zixuan smiled bitterly as he watched the students leave.

This is what he asked for, and he can't blame others. If he talks about new poems, writes a beautiful new poem on the spot, and does a show, he will definitely win the whole house and everyone will be happy.

However, this time, he just wanted to express his true thoughts.

Some things can be ignored, some things can be delayed until tomorrow, and some things have to be done.

He did not regret this. Next he talked about the beauty of traditional culture.

"The reason I advocate Chinese traditional culture is because it is beautiful," Lin Zixuan said, "Do you think Tang poetry is not beautiful? Song poetry is not beautiful? There are also "Dream of Red Mansions" and "Journey to the West", which are our traditional culture. Do we really need to criticize them completely without choice?"

"We criticize feudal thought and feudal ethics. These are what we should do. But we should also distinguish the essence and dross of traditional culture, and we should criticize selectively rather than deny them completely." Lin Zixuan emphasized.

In order to prevent this speech from being unknown and to let more people remember his views, he prepared a killer weapon.

"I am from the south and rarely see snow." When the speech was about to end, Lin Zixuan suddenly said, "This time I came to the north, but unfortunately the season was wrong, so I still didn't see the snow scene. A few days ago, my friend accompanied me to the Great Wall to look at it, imagining the scene of heavy snow in the severe winter in the north, so he wrote a poem to share with you, hoping that you can remember the beauty of traditional culture."

The remaining hundreds of students were shocked. The poet was about to write poems, but he didn't expect that there would be such benefits in the end.

Lin Zixuan picked up the chalk, turned around and wrote on the blackboard, reciting loudly while writing.

"The scenery of the north is frozen thousands of miles away, and snow falls thousands of miles away. Looking inside and outside the Great Wall, there are only the vastness; up and down the river, the surging river suddenly loses surging. The mountains dance silver snakes, and the wax figures are originally scattered, and they want to compete with the heavens. On a sunny day, they must see that the red dress is covered with plain clothes, which is particularly enchanting."

"The country is so beautiful that it attracts countless heroes to compete for their backs. I regret that the Qin Emperor and Han Wu are slightly inferior to the literary talent; the Tang Emperor and Song ancestors are slightly inferior. Genghis Khan, a generation of geniuses, only knew how to bending their bows and shooting eagles. All of them have gone, and there are several romantic figures, and they still look at the present day."

As he recited loudly, the auditorium became quiet, and this poem was so domineering.

After all, Lin Zixuan has taught books and is good at writing on the blackboard. His handwriting is not formal, but he is very arrogant. It just so happens that this magnificent poem complements each other.

This is what he prepared for.

He believed that with this poem, his speech would definitely be hotly discussed for a while, and the views he put forward would be spread and had some impact.

"You are students of Peking University and the best of this era. The future of this country is in your hands. Let me encourage you this poem." Lin Zixuan said frankly, "My speech ends here, thank you."

Without leaving time for the students to ask questions, he got off the podium and greeted Hu Shi.

Hu Shi went on stage and said a few words, announced his dissolution, and walked out of the auditorium with Lin Zixuan.

"Your poem is not written for students." Hu Shi sighed.

He is proficient in traditional culture and shows a kind of courage to guide the country from this poem. He can stand at a high place to judge the wise emperors of all dynasties, which has a kind of imperial spirit.

Combined with the poem written by Lin Zixuan when watching the tide in Haining last time, Hu Shi felt that this person's mind was probably a bit big.

"It was just a thought from the Great Wall when I visited ancient times the day before yesterday." Lin Zixuan responded.

The attractions that came to Peking in this era were similar to those in later generations. Most of them were visiting various royal gardens. Of course, Fu Yi lived in the Forbidden City, and there was no way to travel for the time being. Next were the Great Wall and the West Mountain.

For foreigners, another place is to listen to Mei Lanfang singing opera.

In 1931, a writer named Ni Xiying wrote a series of urban geography books, which specifically introduces tourist attractions in major cities in China at that time.

He used vivid brushstrokes and a large number of pictures to record the historical evolution, geographical situation, transportation, scenic spots and historical sites of each city, which can be said to be a tourist guide from the Republic of China period.

Although Lin Zixuan visited Beijing in later generations, the times were different and the scenery was naturally different.

Moreover, the members of the Crescent Society thought that he had never been to Peking, so they kindly took him around, and the Great Wall was naturally in it.

In later generations, visiting the Great Wall was a tourist. At this time, visiting the Great Wall was called nostalgia, because the Great Wall in the Republic of China was not as gorgeous and lively as Badaling in later generations, and the Great Wall was relatively desolate at this time.

Lin Zixuan, standing on the Great Wall, remembered this song "Qinyuanchun" and used this speech to make a strong sense of momentum.

Chinese traditional culture is indeed very beautiful. It is not fair to deny it completely, but also a pity.

"Your statement may cause criticism," Hu Shi said seriously.

In the debate between science and metaphysics, he was the main figure of the scientific school, so he was very clear about the current chaotic situation in the Chinese ideological world. Lin Zixuan's speech today offended all three factions in the ideological world and would definitely be attacked by all parties.

"If you are not frivolous, you will let me indulge in frivolousness for a while." Lin Zixuan chuckled.
