Liang Qichao's Comment on Tan Sitong: A Comet in the Ideological Circles of the Late Qing Dynasty
Introduction to Tan Sitong: A famous reformist, one of the six gentlemen of the Reform Movement of 1898. 1898 participated in the reform movement of 1898. After the failure of the political reform, he died heroically in the execution ground of Caishikou outside Xuanwu Gate in Beijing on September 28th, 1998. Yang Shenxiu, Liu Guangdi, Yang Rui and Kang were also killed. Six people are also known as the "Six Gentlemen of the Reform Movement of 1898".
In Tan Sitong's former residence, there is a couplet written by Yu Dequan, a Hunan native: "Strong, trying to kill a thief without going to heaven, will eventually become national hatred;" Come on! Wyndell dichinson is brave enough to wake up my people. "This is the poem" The Wall in Prison ".
Whether the two Kunlun mountains will stay or not is a matter of life and death. Ji Kang's Fu Qin has the idea of "going to stay with fate", and Tao Yuanming's "going to stay with fate" has the idea of "going to stay without heart", so he is an upright China person regardless of life and death. Some people think that "go or stay" is not the comparative meaning of "go" and "stay", but what to leave.
Going to Stay in Two Kunlun Mountains is Tan Sitong's swan song before Tan Gong's execution. It means that I was born for political reform and died for political reform. A life and death, loyalty to the liver and bravery, towering like Kunlun, Tan like Kunlun, death like Kunlun. "Tan is in prison, self-righteous, wandering around the house all day, picking up the coal ash on the ground, whitewashing the books, and asking what? Laugh and say: Write a poem. " (Huang Xun: Memories of Flowers and People, see Tan Sitong's Chronicle by Yang Tingfu, People's Publishing House, 1957, p. 1 18).
Introduction to Tan Sitong: Tan Sitong said in "Twenty-nine Benevolence Studies": "Politics for two thousand years, Qin Zheng also, are thieves; Learning for nearly two thousand years, Xunxue is also a hometown wish. Only thieves use their hometown wishes, and hometown is willing to kiss up to thieves. The two complement each other, but they don't rely on holes. " This passage is often regarded as "extreme". But this is precisely Tan Sitong's brilliant mind to change his life for the people. It is not that others can't see through it, but that others dare not say it. What they are afraid of is this long mouth and all the people. Only when Tan Sitong sounded the alarm for China people and began to awaken talents in China, could the network be disconnected. Today, we have established a new China and made great achievements in reform and opening up. Thanks to our people, we can't forget Tan Sitong.
