192 1 After graduating from Chengdu United Middle School, he was admitted to Shanghai Hujiang University. Due to the financial difficulties of his family, he only went to school for one semester and then dropped out of school to find another way out. 1922 was admitted to the Compiling Institute of Shanghai Commercial Press and started his compiling career. The library is rich in books, and has gathered a group of progressive writers such as Zheng Zhenduo, Ye Shengtao and Zhou. Such a working environment has had a very good influence on He Changqun. Shortly after he entered the graduate school, he joined the Literature Research Association.
Since 1926, he has published articles in Literature Weekly, Yusi, China Youth and Oriental Magazine. The content of the article covers literature, philosophy, psychology, linguistics, classical opera and other fields. From the early 1930s, He Changqun began to focus on northwest history, Chinese and western traffic history and Dunhuang studies. 193 1 year, she left Shanghai to teach at Hebei Women's Normal University in Tianjin. 1933 He went to Beijing Library as an editorial board member, continued to study cultural exchanges between China and the West, and participated in sorting out and interpreting Juyan Han bamboo slips obtained by the former Northwest Scientific Investigation Team. At that time, Dunhuang studies, as a new discipline, was highly valued by foreign academic circles, while domestic scholars paid little attention to it. While advocating the importance of Dunhuang studies, he actively devoted himself to this research field, and successively published a number of important papers, such as Introduction of Foreign Music between Han and Tang Dynasties, Dunhuang Buddhist Art System, Archaeological Achievements in Northwest China in Recent Years, Examination of Women's Costume in Tang Dynasty, and Translation of Western Regions in Tang Dynasty.
1943, he published "The Thousand Buddha Caves in Dunhuang Should Be Returned to China" in Ta Kung Pao, proposing that the state should raise funds and set up specialized academic institutions to protect Dunhuang cultural relics. He believes that the culture of the Western Regions is the fusion of Chinese mainland, Indian, Persian and other cultures, and we can find the clues of these ancient cultural exchanges by studying the Western Regions. He also believed that the culture of Han and Tang Dynasties was the result of cultural exchanges between China and foreign countries, so he paid special attention to combining the study of Han and Tang Dynasties with the study of the Western Regions, and wrote some influential works, such as A Preliminary Study of Wei and Jin Dynasties' Talking Thoughts and the Spirit of Han and Tang Dynasties. After the outbreak of War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, he went south to teach in the Department of History and Geography of Zhejiang University. Soon he moved to Sichuan and founded a middle school in his hometown Mabian County on 1940.
1942 ——1946 teaches in the history department of Chongqing Central University. After the Central University moved back to Nanjing, He Changqun became the head of the history department. 1947 During the anti-hunger and anti-civil war movement launched by Nanjing students in May, he drafted a professor's declaration for the professors' association of Central University, actively supported the student movement, and participated in demonstrations. Therefore, he was persecuted by the Kuomintang reactionaries. In order to avoid political persecution, he was invited to work in Shanghai Ming Kai Bookstore on the eve of Nanjing liberation, and returned to Nanjing after liberation.
From 65438 to 0950, he was the director of Nanjing Library, and later he was transferred to the second researcher of the Institute of History of China Academy of Sciences and the director of the Library of China Academy of Sciences, making important contributions to the construction of these two libraries. 1950, his book "Ancient Western Region Traffic and Faxian India Tour" was published by Hubei People's Publishing House. This monograph uses rich Chinese and foreign historical materials to profoundly expound the westward route of Faxian, the geographical environment of the western regions and the spread of Buddhism to the east during the Han and Jin Dynasties. It is a masterpiece of studying the history of communication between China and the West and Buddhism. Using Marxist theory to study the feudal land ownership form between Han and Tang dynasties is another focus of He Changqun's academic research after liberation. He believes that in the early feudal society of China, the land ownership of feudal countries was dominant. His works in this field have always been valued by historians. 1964 was elected as a deputy to the Third National People's Congress, 1 97310/0/0/passed away in Beijing.
