However, as his ideas began to change, his thoughts began to thaw from the long-frozen lake, and his great contributions were gradually excavated. Mr. Hu Shi is a famous thinker, educator and writer in China. His research involves philosophy, politics, history, education, literature, language, religion, translation and other aspects, and has made achievements in all aspects.
Hu Shi's contribution to education is not limited to Chinese education in primary and secondary schools. As we all know, Mr. Hu Shi has been engaged in education in Peking University for 18 years, and once served as dean and president of Peking University College of Literature. He played an important role in the history of Chinese education in China in the 20th century.
This is not only reflected in his promotion of the new culture movement, the epoch-making vernacular movement and the innovation of Chinese teaching ideas, but also in his direct participation in the curriculum construction of Chinese and Putonghua teaching in China in the 1920s, and his discussion on Chinese teaching from various aspects has played an indelible role in the modernization of Chinese education in China.
As Mr. Gu said, "Hu Shi is a person who can't be ignored in the history of modern education in China. He has had a great influence on the renewal of China's form and content. " Mr. Hu Shi's view of Chinese education occupies an important position in Chinese subject, which has great influence and function on the goal, content and textbook compilation of Chinese subject.
As one of the important promoters of the New Culture Movement, Mr. Hu Shi regards Putonghua as the most powerful tool to publicize the new culture, and replaces classical Chinese with vernacular Chinese, which creates a prerequisite for the popularization of education and plays a great role in promoting the development of education, thus greatly improving the cultural quality of ordinary people, and his ideological liberation of freedom and democracy is also deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. However, Mr. Hu Shi's great contribution is not limited to China's education.
Mr. Hu Shi cared for and supported library construction all his life. He is an advocate and practitioner of promoting the development of China's library cause, occupying an important position in the history of libraries, and has formed research on library science thoughts, theory and practice of bibliography and edition science, book collection and reading. He was once dubbed "the long-buried librarian".
Hu Shi's enthusiasm for library cause is not superficial. He has extraordinary and unique views on collection construction, catalogue compilation and inter-library cooperation. He attaches great importance to the selection of librarians and strategizes to protect documents and materials. Although his library thought is only a few words of experience summary, it still has reference value to modern libraries.
From the brief introduction of Hu Shi's novels, we can see that western literature has a great influence on him. Hu Shi is one of the most influential thinkers and scholars in China in the last century. His influence is not only reflected in education, but also in academic, literary and ideological contributions. The idea of democracy, freedom and rationality advocated by him also helps teenagers to establish independent personality, form a way of thinking independently and respecting facts, and become people with democratic and scientific literacy.
Mr. Hu Shi is also quite accomplished in poetry, drama and novels. In terms of poetry, Hu Shi published the first vernacular poetry anthology "Trial Collection", which was the beginning of the transformation of the morphological structure of China's lyric poetry. Hu Shi began to reform poetry and began to try vernacular poetry in language, form and poetic style. It bridges the gap between China's classical poetry and modernity, establishes China as a new art form and opens a new era of poetry creation.
In terms of drama, he created the drama "Lifelong Event". In terms of novels, although he didn't write, he translated many novels, recommended famous novels to new culture workers and put forward his own unique views. In Hu Shi's view, "novels have two purposes: one is to entertain people and the other is to educate the world." No matter how to entertain people, novels have two ways: one is sketching in kind, and the other is narrative in layout. Chinese novels are better than physical sketches, while western novels are the best of the two. Today, we should make up for our shortcomings with western structures. "
