As a famous writer in China in modern times, I personally don't believe that Mr. Lu Xun would write typos and put them on such an important occasion as inscription for Xiamen University. Xiamen University? These four words will certainly be cautious in Lu Xun's pen, so where are the typos? In a word or some words, I'm afraid some people's minds are very different! Just in real life, Mr. Lu Xun didn't write the name of Xiamen University, but? Xiamen University? The handwriting of the four-character school name was indeed written by Mr. Lu Xun. What's the story?
Xiamen University can be said to be a well-known university in China. It is a construction-oriented university with double first-class universities in China and world-class universities. About the history of Xiamen University, we can probably trace it back to the 1920s. Chen Jiageng, the leader of patriotic overseas Chinese, founded Xiamen University on 192 1. Therefore, Xiamen University has also been covered with a mysterious veil that other universities do not have. It is the first university founded by overseas Chinese in the history of modern education in China. In a blink of an eye, 2020 is the centenary birthday of Xiamen University. On July 7, Xiamen Chunhua Group Co., Ltd., a well-known enterprise in China, donated 6 million yuan as a gift on the occasion of its centenary birthday.
Xiamen University has a well-known influence and important position in the history of education in China. 192 1 year? Looking at this special era, it is enough to show the unique glory of Xiamen University in the background of the founding of the school at that time. As a famous school in China and even the world, everything in Xiamen University seems to be different. In addition to the educational strength and scientific research strength of famous schools, the name of the school is also very important. Tracing back to the source, the name of Xiamen University has something to do with Mr. Lu Xun, but there is no direct connection.
? Xiamen University? Actually, it was not written by Mr. Lu Xun.
Today, I saw the plaque at the gate of Xiamen University, which probably started with 1955, which didn't correspond to Mr. Lu Xun's living time at all, so many people wondered whether the plaque at Xiamen University was inscribed by Mr. Lu Xun when he was alive. Actually, it's not. What do we see now? Xiamen University? Was it found by later generations from the calligraphy works left by Lu Xun after his death, and then pieced together? Mansion, gate, university, school? These four words, so this is not only Mr. Lu Xun's handwriting, but also Mr. Lu Xun's handwriting
Is this calligraphy? Choose from the works and put them together? This phenomenon is called vocabulary collection. Splicing these selected characters according to certain aesthetic requirements has always been a common method in calligraphy learning and creation. Mr. Lu Xun 1926- 1927 Professor of Chinese Department, Xiamen University. After his death, Xiamen University established the Lu Xun Memorial Room in memory of Mr. 1952 Lu Xun.
? Study? Rationality of words
So from this point of view, shall we watch it again? Learning that is regarded as a typo? By Mr. Lu Xun? Study? In other words, no matter how far you look, there is no veil. Did Mr. Lu Xun write the word wrong? According to common sense, among Mr. Lu Xun's many works, learning? Characters are basically in this font, and in the process of writing, because of different writing habits, maybe a word and some words will form words that others can't understand under our hands. So according to this inertial thinking, we will probably guess that this word was also formed by Mr. Lu Xun under his writing habits.
This idea is actually not like this. A more convincing argument is: one of Mr. Lu Xun's calligraphy works? Study? Chinese characters, in fact, are used to cursive, in the field of cursive, learning? This is how the word is written, so the word is not a typo, it is recognized. In the same way, some people think that Xiamen University is among the four words. Door? Words without dots are also typos. Actually, this? There are no dots on the door? It is also a common cursive writing method. Although the font shape of cursive script is quite different from the standard font in China today, it is not a typo.
The reason why Mr. Lu Xun can skillfully use cursive script is that he is an out-and-out great writer, and Lu Xun is also named as a calligrapher. In the era when Lu Xun lived, traditional Chinese characters were still used. However, judging from Lu Xun's many literary works, there are a large number of simplified characters, which we now think are cursive font forms. But if we look closely, we may find that some of Mr. Lu Xun's words were actually written in simplified Chinese characters at that time.
Writer and calligrapher Mr. Guo Moruo once commented on Mr. Lu Xun's words like this:
Melting, smelting and sealing in one furnace, let the heart meet the wrist, simple and informal, free and easy, with statutes, as far as the Song and Tang Dynasties, and straight to the Wei and Jin Dynasties. ?
It can be seen that Mr. Lu Xun's calligraphy is also a unique skill worthy of praise from Chinese people.
Is there any conflict between calligraphy vision and standard font?
China's calligraphy is an excellent cultural tradition in China. Since the pre-Qin period, Chinese characters have experienced more than 6,000 years, and China calligraphy derived from Chinese characters has also experienced thousands of years. Among them, China's calligraphy is the same as China's Chinese characters. In the process of Chinese characters advancing with the times, calligraphy has never stopped. Running script, cursive script, official script, seal script and regular script are all available, and keep pace with the times with the development of the times.
So in my opinion, calligraphy, Chinese characters and standard fonts popular in China are interrelated. Although there are great differences between traditional Chinese characters and calligraphy fonts in font form and font structure, they do not conflict.
In my personal impression, China's calligraphy is the essence and product of China's Chinese characters. From China's calligraphy, we can see the evolution of Chinese characters in China and the shadow of traditional Chinese characters. Calligraphy and today's standard fonts come down in one continuous line, both from Chinese characters born more than 6000 years ago. If we look at these four words from the calligrapher's point of view, there may be a unique charm in them!
Liang Lang said
In the world of traditional Chinese characters, simplified Chinese characters seem to be a clean stream, but now it seems to be a trend. 19 15 what was the content of the new culture movement? Broken old four? Doesn't it also involve traditional Chinese characters? At that time, Mr. Lu Xun was also a pioneer of the New Culture Movement. Mr. Lu once supported the simplification of Chinese characters, because in China since modern times, the traditional Chinese characters continue to be used, and there are indeed some disadvantages that we can all see.
Xiamen University, a university, is a national culture precipitated by time. There is a flavor from the unique background of the last century, selected from Mr. Lu Xun's literary works? Xiamen University? It is also suitable for this university.
