Yang Changji, 187 1, was born in Bancang, Changsha, Hunan. After two unsuccessful rural examinations, he set up a library at home to teach students, and often discussed state affairs with his close friend Yang Shouren, thinking that "no reform is not enough to survive". 1898 studied at Yuelu Academy. Despite the obstruction of the mountain leader, he resolutely joined the progressive group Nanshe, vigorously promoted the new learning and new policies, and agreed with Tan Sitong's "people-oriented" political thought. 1898 After the failed coup, he retired from his hometown and engaged in world studies. Whether you are learning knowledge or being a man, you have the spirit of perseverance. He said, "I don't have anyone superior, but I put a lot of effort into perseverance and often want to win for a long time." His spirit was called "the Buddhism of Huadazhai" by the students and imitated by others. 1903, a student studying in Japan at public expense, studied in Hongwen College and Tokyo Normal University for 6 years. Being in Fusang, I don't forget my motherland in my arms, so I changed my name and surname in order to cherish Middle-earth. Japanese teachers' remarks slandering China people were denounced, calling Japan "hostile" and "eager to enter China". I also participated in the anti-Russian movement. From 65438 to 0909, from Japan to Britain, he entered the University of Aberdeen in Scotland to study philosophy and ethics, and obtained a bachelor's degree. Later, he went to Germany to inspect education and was determined to devote himself to education and serve the motherland and people. 19 13 returned to Changsha and was hired as the director of the education department by the Hunan provincial government. He flatly refused, saying he would concentrate on academic research and education. "His duty is to directly influence young people and sow more seeds once it happens." He has taught in the Fourth Normal School and the First Normal School in Hunan Province. Mao Zedong, Cai Hesen and many other aspiring young people are his students and have received a lot of teaching. He is very concerned about state affairs. He tried to rescue Yang Delin persecuted by Yuan Shikai, advised Yang Du not to advocate Yuan Shikai's restoration of monarchy, supported and participated in the New Culture Movement, and campaigned for the establishment of Hunan University, and so on. He also wrote papers and recommended articles for New Youth. Together with organizations such as Xu Teli and li jinxi, he edited and published textbooks for primary and secondary schools, translated the history of western ethics, and edited books such as The Analects of Confucius and Pedagogy Lectures. Hua Dazhai's Diary and Yang Changji's Collected Works are his representative works. It is said that Yang Bancang has a good relationship with Yang Du, a descendant of Chinese studies. There are also rumors that when Mr. Cai Yuanpei advocated education to rejuvenate the country, he meant mass education, but Yang Bancang replied that educating a person to rejuvenate the country was imperial examination education. Maybe Mao Runzhi is Yang Bancang's educational experiment. In recent years, I have been thinking about a problem. If the country where Yang Bancang studied abroad at that time was not a constitutional monarchy like Japan and Britain, but France, the cradle of western political civilization, China might be different 49 years later. If Yang Bancang had studied in the United States, perhaps after the end of the Anti-Japanese War, China would have become today's United States, and the two parties would take turns to govern, so there would not be today's Taiwan Province Province problem. China will not use Taiwan Province Province as a testing ground for the rotation of political parties. Of course, history has no assumptions and no ifs, but history will still follow its own inherent trajectory.
