After returning to China, Fu Sinian taught at Sun Yat-sen University and soon established the Institute of Language History. This is the autumn of 1927, and he has only been teaching at CUHK university for half a year. 1928 10 On the basis of the Institute of Language History of Sun Yat-sen University, Fu Sinian established the Institute of Historical Languages of the Academia Sinica. Since its establishment, he served as the director until the death of 1950.

Based on history and language, he has made great contributions to China's modern academic career. It trained a large number of outstanding talents for the academic career in modern China. First of all, he brought a large number of famous scholars to the Institute of Historical Linguistics to lead the research work, such as Chen Yinque, Xu Zhongshu, Zhao Yuanren, Fang Guili, Luo Changpei, Li Ji, Dong Zuobin and Liang Siyong. 1927- 1937 was the heyday of Shiyu college, and Fu Sinian recruited many talents for Shiyu college. Many of them later became celebrities, such as Chen Yun, Shi, Ding Shengshu, Lao Gan, Hu Houxuan, Xia Nai, Gao Quxun, Quan Hansheng, Deng Guangming, Zhang, Fu Lehuan, Wang Chongwu, Dong Tonghe, Zhang Kun, Kuaiqinli, Zhou Fagao and Yan Gengwang. These people were trained by Fu Sinian more or less, and they all inherited his rigorous style of study which attached importance to materials and textual research more or less.

Rescue and arrangement of archives in ming and qing dynasties. There are imperial edicts, memorials, regulations, handover meetings, congratulatory tables, archives of the three law departments, records, examination papers and various books in the archives of the cabinet treasury in the Qing Dynasty, which are extremely precious first-hand historical materials. From the end of the Qing Dynasty (1909), the state treasury was damaged and moved out of the warehouse. After several migrations and changes of ownership, it was damp and rotten, and the loss was extremely serious. On one occasion, due to lack of funds, the curator of the History Museum once sold 8,000 sacks15,000 Jin of files to paper makers for 4,000 yuan. Ma Heng, a famous archaeologist, shouted loudly that Fu Sinian wrote to Mr. Cai Yuanpei, the president of Academia Sinica, to make a decision, and only bought these files that were almost going into the paper mill for 6.5438+0.8 million yuan. However, it decreased from 6.5438+0.5 million Jin to10.23 billion Jin, less than 20,000 Jin. Fu Sinian has made great contributions to the rescue of these precious archives.

In Archaeology,

Scientific excavation of Yin Ruins in Anyang, Henan Province. Fu Sinian attaches great importance to the acquisition of historical materials and new historical materials. He said in "The Main Purpose of the Institute of Historical Languages": "(1) If you can study the materials directly, you will make progress; Any indirect research on the system studied or created by predecessors will go backwards if there is no rich and detailed reference to the facts contained. .................................................................................................................................................................................. He attached importance to rescuing and sorting out archives of Qing Dynasty and excavating Yin ruins, aiming at obtaining and expanding new materials. He has a famous saying: "On the top, he searched the green void, and on the bottom, the yellow spring water, found something with your hands. "

Before Fu Sinian led his colleagues from the Institute of History and Linguistics to scientifically excavate the Yin Ruins in Xiaotun, Anyang, Henan Province, the Oracle bones unearthed in the Yin Ruins had a history of more than 30 years. /kloc-at the end of 0/9, farmers in Anyang accidentally discovered some Oracle bones, which attracted the attention of scholars. /kloc-At the end of 0/9 and the beginning of the 20th century, Liu E's "Tieyun Hidden Turtle", Sun Yirang's "Wen Qi Case" and Luo Zhenyu's "Yinxu Shu Qi" came out one after another. Later, Wang Guowei used Oracle bone inscriptions to study the history of Shang Dynasty, and wrote famous works such as Yin Studies and Wang Xiankao.

Now, the Oracle bones unearthed in Xiaotun Yin Ruins became famous. Antique dealers and medicine dealers flocked to the market. The scene of Yin Ruins was seriously damaged.

Fu Sinian then reported to the President of Academia Sinica for approval, and the Archaeological Group of Shiyu Institute formally organized personnel to go to Xiaotun for excavation. At first, there were many difficulties. Some people's localism, egoism and limelight suddenly came, and they stopped digging or forcibly stopped it. When Fu Sinian arrived in Kaifeng (the seat of Henan provincial government at that time), relying on the authority of Nanjing government, the support of Henan enlightened people and Fu Sinian's ability to handle affairs, the personnel relationship was straightened out and the excavation work was carried out smoothly.

From 1928 to 1937 and 10, the excavation of Yin Ruins was carried out 15 times. In spite of his busy schedule, Fu Sinian visited Xiaotun many times for guidance. The maximum excavation amount is 13 and 1935 in summer. Fu Sinian came to Anyang with French sinologist pelliot. Shi recalled: "At that time, it was the excavation of Yin Ruins 13, and the manpower used was more than 300, which was the largest since the excavation of Yin Ruins. It is also the period when China's archaeological work left the deepest impression on the world. About mid-May, the climate was already quite hot, and he and the French oriental scholar Mr. pelliot arrived in Anyang ... Mr. Pelliott was constantly surprised and amazed at such a huge mausoleum, such neatly arranged small graves, and so many exquisite and brilliant cultural relics in front of Director Meng Zhen! " After the September 18th Incident, the Japanese invaders became more and more anxious. The excavation of Yin Ruins was forced to stop.

In the history of modern scientific archaeology in China, Fu Sinian was the first hero. This is his great contribution to China's academic career.

In Peking University.

Fu Sinian, who was trained by Peking University, has a special affection for Peking University, and has made a special contribution to Peking University in his whole career. 1930s was the moderns of Peking University, and the professor camp was in full swing. Famous scholars Hu Shi, Fu Sinian, Qian Mu, Tao Xisheng, Meng Sen and Tang Yongtong were all professors in Peking University, and Chen Yinque also gave lectures in Peking University. At that time, Jiang Menglin was the president of Peking University, but it was Hu Shi, Fu Sinian and especially Fu Sinian who promoted the prosperity of Peking University. Jiang Menglin recalled: "When I returned to Peking University in the 19th year of the Republic of China (1930), Meng Zhen moved to Beijing because of the Institute of History and Language, and also worked in Beijing. After the September 18th Incident, Beiping was in an eventful autumn, and my counselors were Shi Zhi and Meng Zhen. No matter how big or small things are, they always talk to each other. On behalf of Peking University, the two of them invited many famous professors in China, who contributed a lot to the revival of Peking University after the success of the Northern Expedition. "

Fu Sinian's second contribution to Peking University was after War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression's victory.

After War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression's victory, the National Government appointed Hu Shi as the president of Peking University. When Hu was in the United States, President Peking University was represented. There are many thorny problems in taking over Peking University from the puppet government, such as how to deal with the faculty of Peking University under Japanese rule. Fu Sinian decided not to use it. He wrote to his wife, Yu Dacai, saying, "A large number of pseudo-faculty members have come in, which is a big obstacle for Peking University to start school after the summer vacation, but I am determined to sweep it away and never leave this bad root for Peking University." It is Fu Sinian's determination to be acting principal to relieve difficulties, sweep away the "world" and pave the way for Hu Shi to resume his studies. In his letter to his wife, he added: "In fact, under such circumstances, Mr. Hu is far behind me. I have leveled the world for him in the past few months, so he can go on. "
