The editor returned to his hometown when he was young.

Although Zheng Zhenduo grew up in Wenzhou and went to Beijing for further study, and went to Shanghai after graduating from Railway Management School, and worked in the Commercial Press for a long time, he still kept close contact with his relatives in his hometown and returned to his hometown. In a letter to Qi Ming (Zhou Zuoren) in June1921015, Mao Dun mentioned that "Zhen Duo went back to his hometown to bury his ancestors" (see Mao Dun's Letters, published by Culture and Art Publishing House 1988). According to the research of Zheng Zhenduo research expert Dr. Chen Fukang, it took more than a month for his ancestors to be buried in Changle via Fuzhou. The "returning home to bury the ancestors" here naturally returned to the hometown of Changle Shouzhan Village. 1995 In the early winter, Shouzhan Village in Changle collected a precious material-the Obituary of Shouzhan Zheng Incomplete to commemorate Zheng Zhenduo's collection of related cultural relics. On an eight-piece piece of paper, you can also see 36 people named * * *, including the words "Take my nephew, great-grandson Zhenduo". According to patriarch Zheng's recollection, there were many plaques and profiles reflecting the deeds of Zheng's ancestors in Dayang Zheng Ancestral Hall, and in the middle hung the ancestral motto of "Shi Pei's faithfulness" written by Zheng Shiwei (1503~ 1584), a famous minister of Jiajing in Ming Dynasty ... Therefore, although he lived, studied and worked in a foreign land for a long time, he always cared and loved his hometown.

Edit this paragraph and connect with people in your hometown.

19 19 The news of the May 4th Movement reached Fujian, which had a great impact. In Fuzhou, students from different schools gathered twice to support the patriotic movement of Beijing students and mourn Guo Qinguang, a Fujian student from Peking University who was killed by reactionary military police. In Xiamen, young students held rallies and demonstrations, which later developed into a national assembly attended by people from all walks of life, angrily condemning the crimes of the warlord government and Japanese imperialism. The May 4th fire broke out in Bamin. However, Japanese imperialism sent warships to Xiamen and Fuzhou successively to carry out armed threats, and even shot at them in Fuzhou. After hearing the news in Beijing, Zheng Zhenduo took an active part in organizing the Beijing Fujian Students' Anti-Japanese Federation and became one of its leaders. He participated in the compilation and publication of "Popular Tide", ran around, waved flags and shouted for supporting the anti-imperialist patriotic movement in his hometown, and always kept in touch with the people in his hometown. Bing Xin, a famous writer, was originally from Changle, Fujian. At that time, she was studying preparatory courses at Peking Union Medical College Women's University. It was in this solidarity activity that she got to know Zheng Zhenduo. After 60 years, Bing Xin is still deeply impressed by his passionate speech about patriotism and hometown.

Edit this paragraph and warmly welcome the students from home.

Although Zheng Zhenduo has worked in Beijing and Shanghai for a long time, he always warmly receives visitors from his hometown and carefully understands the situation in his hometown. Historically, Changle was under the jurisdiction of Fuzhou government, so conceptually, the scope of hometown is naturally relatively large. 1939 in the summer vacation, a literary youth in Fuzhou, Chen Honghai, a senior three student in Sanshan Middle School (a member of Qingqing Literature and Art Society), heard that the College of Literature was chaired by Dean Zheng Zhenduo, and wanted to leapfrog to the College of Literature of Jinan University. Introduced by Yu Dafu (1886~ 1945), a famous writer who worked in Fuzhou at that time, he went to Shanghai to visit Zheng Zhenduo and was warmly received by him. After reading the letter of introduction, Zheng Zhenduo first learned about Yu Dafu's recent situation in Fuzhou, and then asked in detail: What did Chen Yi (1886~ 1949) do in charge of the Fujian provincial government? What achievements has Zheng (189 1~ 1969), director of the provincial education department, made in governance education? Because Zheng was carrying out educational reform in this province at that time, provincial and county schools stopped replacing teachers and principals. He read some reports in the newspaper. Thinking that "Zheng shared Zheng's difficulties", he asked with special concern: What is the performance of Japanese imperialism in Fuzhou, the progress of Fuzhou's construction and cultural undertakings, the number of unemployed people in his hometown, and the living conditions of the people? ..... After introducing the relevant situation, Chen Honghai said with emotion: "Probably in 1780, Fujian people were the most optimistic!" Finally, Zheng Zhenduo said that he had seen Chen Honghai's works in a literary magazine published in Fujian and had a good impression on him. Of course, young artists from more than one hometown have visited Zheng Zhenduo. Mr. Huang Junlin also talked about the cordial reception and care he received from this "Datong Township" during his study in yenching university and his teaching in Shanghai in the article "Remembering Xi Di Zheng Shi" (Hua Rong 198 1 Phase I). These examples show that although Zheng Zhenduo didn't go to Fuzhou at that time, he knew something about the situation in his hometown and paid great attention to it. Of course, there are many channels for him to know his hometown.

Edit this paragraph, don't forget the deep nostalgia for your hometown.

Zheng Zhenduo does not forget his ancestral homeland, which is also reflected in his homesickness. He always publicly shows that he is from Changle, Fujian, and sometimes writes books and compiles them, and he also specially signs the word "Changle". For example, at the end of Epilogue of Early Collection of Zaju in Qing Dynasty, he signed "Epilogue of Zheng Zhenduo in Changle printed on March 23rd 193 1 year". One of his titles is Changle Zheng Chuanqi. Changle Zheng Zhenduo Xidi Collection. One day before his death 10, in his "last words", he also said, "I was from Fujian and grew up in Wenzhou."

Although Zheng Zhenduo grew up in Wenzhou, he can speak Fuzhou dialect because of his family's living environment. His daily conversation with his family is in Fuzhou dialect. In the winter of 193 1, Zheng Zhenduo wrote in the article "In memory of some friends who died this year" (the first issue of Tsinghua University Literature Monthly, Volume II): "He met Hu Yepin (193193) in Shanghai. I am often moved by his unfamiliar Fuzhou dialect. Although I grew up in a foreign country, I seem to be better at talking about the local countryside than him. " That is to say, although the two of them have been walking for a long time, Zheng Zhenduo's Fuzhou dialect is better than Hu's. In terms of food hobbies, Zheng Zhenduo also retains the characteristics of his hometown, and entertains relatives and friends with Fujian cuisine with rich flavor in his hometown. Obviously, Zheng Zhenduo is proud of it. He gave a banquet in honor of Lu Xun, Bing Xin and others. During the dinner, he ate Fujian dishes cooked by his mother. Zheng Zhenduo also likes the daffodils in Fujian, and once gave them to Lu Xun from his hometown.

Cut this passage to reveal the homesickness in the work.

From Zheng Zhenduo's literary works, we can also feel his deep affection for his hometown. From 65438 to 0926, when Zheng Zhenduo spent his summer vacation in Moganshan, he wrote the essay "Words on a Moonlit Night", which naturally revealed his love and appreciation of Fuzhou folk songs through the whisper of enjoying the cool under the moonlight. Mr. Gao introduced three Fuzhou folk songs to him. He copied them down one by one, translated them into Mandarin, explained them and introduced them to readers through his own works. Indeed, Fuzhou folk songs like True Birds are "incomprehensible to non-Fuzhou people", and Zheng Zhenduo can translate the original meaning because he knows Fuzhou dialect.

1April 927 12, Chiang Kai-shek betrayed the revolution and slaughtered party member, workers and peasants and revolutionary intellectuals. Zheng Zhenduo was forced to go to Europe. He captured a fragment of his life on his way to Europe and wrote Haiyan. Based on his understanding of his hometown, he described his hometown in a nuanced way in a scene full of events and spring. The lovely little swallow who came back from the south flew sideways at will, and when she was tired of flying, she returned to her old nest a year ago. He wrote: "Swallow came back to find the old base", "This is the little swallow in our hometown, a lovely and lively little swallow." On the sea road of "thousands of miles away from home and thousands of miles away from home", "unexpectedly, we saw our little swallow" He sincerely expressed the wandering wanderer's yearning for his motherland and hometown.

Therefore, although Zheng Zhenduo lived in a foreign land for a long time, he was able to maintain his local accent, and maintained the characteristics of Fuzhou in life, diet, hobbies, etc., even reflected in his works, not only because he accepted the influence from his family elders, but also because he had frequent contact with cultural figures in central Fujian. It is worth mentioning that in May of 192 1, he was highly appreciated by the director of the Compilation Institute of the Commercial Press, and married his youngest daughter Gao Junzhen (Yunhua) in 1923, and their feelings were very harmonious. Gao (1870~ 1936), formerly known as Chongyou, was born in Changle, Fujian. He left his hometown at the age of 26. His hometown is Longmen Township, which is the first place apart from Zheng's ancestral home. In this way, it is natural that the Zheng Zhenduo family still maintains some characteristics of their hometown. Zheng Zhenduo also benefited greatly from his high knowledge and familiarity with folk literature, dialects and customs in central Fujian.

Representative works include: Literature Outline, A Brief History of Russian Literature, Essays on China Literature, History of Popular Literature in China, History of Excavation of Centennial Tomb, Basic Construction and Protection of Ancient Cultural Relics, Collection of China Ancient Paintings Collected Overseas, Reference Atlas of China History, Catalogue of Great Art Traditions, Illustrated History of China Literature, etc. Collection of short stories: Family Story, Catch a Firefighter, Gui Gong Tang, Prose Collection: Rickets, Travels in Europe, Miscellaneous Notes in the Mountain, Short Sword Collection, Surprise Collection, Sea Salt, Ethnic Dialect and Notes on Seclusion, translated into sand. Among them, Cat was selected as the junior high school textbook of People's Education Publishing House, and The Only Audience was selected as the sixth grade textbook.

The editor's trip to Fuzhou was fruitful.

After the founding of New China, Zheng Zhenduo returned to Fujian. 1in the spring of 954, during his tenure in the Ministry of Culture, he participated in the "National People's Consolation Delegation to the People's Liberation Army" and arrived in Fuzhou on February 27th to express condolences to the frontline troops stationed in Fujian. In more than a month's time, as one of the representatives of the General Consolation Mission, he made a speech at a front-line meeting and made a report of condolences to the garrison, vividly expounding the brilliant achievements made by the motherland in all aspects of construction under the illumination of the general line in the past four years with concrete facts, which greatly inspired the commanders and soldiers; He and the delegates went through mountains and seas, went deep into the front line of cordial condolences, and were warmly welcomed by the vast number of commanders and soldiers. During the period, he also had a discussion with people in the literary and art circles and made a visit. He was deeply impressed by the excellent development situation in Fujian. On March 4th, he wrote in a letter to his friend Liu Zhemin: "Fuzhou is very prosperous with many local products. Because of the inconvenient transportation, some things can't be transported outside for sale. Chopsticks like lacquerware are the best, but they are not first-class. The paper is also good and there are many fruits. They will be able to communicate greatly in the future. " The letter also mentioned that "I am very busy at work and have no time to write letters; But some stories should be written. I want to know when. After returning to Beijing, I have to be busy again. I am afraid it is even harder to write. " On April 1 day, he wrote in the letter: "I have gained a lot from more than one month of condolences, but I still have to write a few articles and am seriously drafting them; I wonder if I can write it well? " Indeed, he gained a lot from this trip. The mountains and rivers in his hometown and many vivid and touching stories left a deep impression on him and accumulated rich creative materials. However, due to his busy business after returning to Beijing, he was unable to write in time. From 65438 to 0957, he came to Fuzhou on business, and he paid attention to the collection of Liu Huameng, a talented woman in Fuzhou in the Qing Dynasty. This masterpiece, with 360 volumes and 4.83 million words, is four times longer than A Dream of Red Mansions. He personally consulted this book and suggested that it be collected by Fujian Provincial Department of Culture, Fujian Normal University Library and Fujian Provincial Library. Unfortunately, although Zheng Zhenduo is deeply attached to his native land, he still bears heavy responsibilities, busy work and numerous foreign cultural exchanges. Not only did he come to Fujian to mourn for more than a month, but he also paid attention to his official duties and never returned to Changle for the first time. 1957 failed to return home after coming to Rong!

Patriotism and love for hometown is a fine tradition of the Chinese nation. Facts show that Zheng Zhenduo has deep feelings for his hometown, but this nostalgia is not out of a narrow concept of hometown. Wherever he goes, he always takes an active part in the local patriotic movement. Whether in Wenzhou, Beijing or Shanghai, he always advocates new culture with local cultural figures and actively participates in the anti-imperialist struggle and the anti-Japanese national salvation movement. Although he can speak Fuzhou dialect, he speaks "Putonghua" when talking with Chen Honghai, a young literary artist visiting his hometown. In the mid-1930s, he advocated that "all intellectuals in China should speak Mandarin. If intellectuals continue to speak his dialect, Mandarin will never be popularized. " Obviously, although he loves his hometown, he always considers the whole and puts his love for his motherland first. And his selfless dedication to the motherland's early prosperity will always be worthy of future generations!

Edit this love story of Zheng Zhenduo.

Zheng Zhenduo, born in 1898, was originally from Changle, Fujian. He is an outstanding writer and social activist in the history of modern literature in China. During the May 4th Movement, he was the student leader of Beijing Railway School. 19 19 founded the new society with Qu Qiubai and others, 1920,1/kloc-0 initiated the establishment of the most famous literary group in the history of modern literature with Shen Yanbing and others.

love

Zheng Zhenduo's first love didn't go well. At that time, he was studying in Beijing, and Fujian students in Beijing organized anti-Japanese federations and often got together. Naturally, he will come to every meeting, and when he arrives, he will talk nonsense. At that time, China's most famous women's higher education institution, Beijing Women's Normal University, had three Fujian citizens calling themselves "Four Childes" in the Warring States Period. One of them is Huang Shiying, who was born in a rich family. His family has a regular job and has been an official for generations. Her father is now in charge of the Ministry of Education. A young lady like her actually took part in patriotic activities and served as the chairman of student autonomy in the school. She is beautiful, too. In the patriotic student movement, Zheng Zhenduo had a good impression on her. I don't know when it started. He felt as if he couldn't settle down as long as he didn't see Huang Shiying for a few days. Sometimes, he just happened to have something to do with the student movement, so he broke into the red chamber of the women's normal university. At that time, due to the impact of the May 4th Movement, the authorities of Women's Normal University had been forced to relax the guard system that used to be like a prison guard. Unfortunately, due to Huang Shiying's hesitation and parents' opposition, Zheng Zhenduo was in helpless pain for a long time.

192 1 In the first half of the year, Zheng Zhenduo went to work in Shanghai Commercial Press after being introduced by Shen Yanbing. In addition to editing, he also attended an amateur course funded by enterprises in Shenzhou Girls' Middle School. At this time, Gao Junzhen, his student and the youngest daughter of Mr. Gao, the editor-in-chief of the Commercial Press, came into his life.

On February 8th, 1922, 1922, Gao Junzhen's translated fairy tale "Strange Ring" was published in Children's World edited by him. She was very excited to tell him that she wanted to make another contribution in the future. He seemed to be encouraged, but the failure of his first love made him very cautious. Colleagues Zheng Xinnan and Gao are fellow villagers in Fujian, so Zheng Xinnan looked for a high bottom. Gao Yi listened to Xin Nan and agreed happily, saying that his daughter was not good enough for him. His old gentleman doesn't care what "the door is right" and what relatives talk about. Dream Dan has long taken a fancy to Zheng Zhenduo's good character and talent, and thinks that if he has such a good husband, it will be the happiness of himself and his daughter. Gao hurriedly called Jun Zhen and asked her what she thought, and told her to contact Zheng Zhenduo more and talk about books and literature.

After a while, that is, in April of 1923, Meng Dan asked his daughter to travel to Hangzhou with him and have a good talk. marry

After a period of time, Zheng Zhenduo and Gao Junzhen's love matured, and their wedding was held at Shanghai Yipin Xiang Hotel 10, 10.

At this time, Zheng Zhenduo's mother and grandmother had moved to Shanghai. How much the mother wishes her only son to get married at an early date. However, the day before the wedding, Zheng Zhenduo suddenly remembered that his mother had no ready-made stamps. what can I do? Because according to the ceremony of "civilized marriage" at that time, the marriage certificate must be stamped with the seals of both parents, references and bride and groom. He lost his father in his teens, so his mother's seal is indispensable.

He used his quick wits and immediately sent a letter to his good friend Qu Qiubai. Qu Qiubai is a master of seal cutting. The messenger came back with Qiu Bai's note. Open it and see, the title is "Autumn White Seal Carving Runge". The lithograph inside is two yuan per word, which will be taken on the seventh day. If it is urgent, take the parts within a limited time and double the decoration; The side section is almost two yuan, not counting words. He knows Qiu Bai's humor and thinks that Qiu Bai's "embellishment" is that he is too busy to have time.

What shall we do? Oh, by the way, please carve it with wild goose ice, and wild goose ice will also be good at it. It was the eve of the wedding, and the goose ice was carved overnight.

Early the next morning, when Yan Bing sent the newly engraved stamps to Zheng Zhenduo's house, suddenly Qiu Bai sent someone to send a red paper bag with the big word "He Yiwu Yuan" written on it. "Oh, Qiu Bai is really, why send such a heavy gift?" Zheng Zhenduo just then, Yan Bing opened the paper bag. At first glance, haha, there are three seals, one is Zheng Zhenduo's mother's, and the other two are a pair of Zheng Zhenduo and Junzhen's.

The words "long" and "happy" are engraved on the chapters of Zheng Zhenduo and Junzhen respectively. This is really a clever pun. On the one hand, I wish them a hundred years of harmony, on the other hand, they are both from Changle, Fujian. Yan Bing calculated with him: Runge is doubled, and the side fee is two yuan, which is exactly fifty yuan. Qiu Bai's joke was unexpected. He and Yan Bing couldn't help laughing, which added to the festive atmosphere. Naturally, Yan Bing will "hide others" from the seal he carved, because the autumn white carving is much more ingenious.

go abroad

1April, 927 12, Chiang Kai-shek launched the "April 12th Counter-revolutionary coup" that shocked China and foreign countries. The Shanghai Federation of Trade Unions held a public protest rally. Zheng Zhenduo not only attended the party and the parade, but also wrote a letter of protest with Hu Yuzhi and others. They said bitterly in the letter: "The party and the country have many different plans, which are not what my brother wants to ask. However, it is hard to be silent when witnessing the tragedy of animals eating people. Brothers and others really can't bear to see hundreds of thousands of residents in Zhabei slaughtered by Li and Bi Shucheng, and then slaughtered by the revolutionary army under the banner of right and wrong. I hope you can forgive me. " Finally signed, Zheng Zhenduo is the leader.

After this letter was published in the newspaper, it had a great influence. The reactionary authorities became angry from embarrassment and informed Zhejiang warlords to conduct a roll-call search. On April 28th, Zheng Zhenduo's most revered Mr. Li Dazhao was brutally killed by warlord Feng Zhi in Beijing. In this white terror, Meng Dan, as his father-in-law, insisted that he take refuge abroad. Although his wife, mother and grandmother are worried that he is wandering alone, it is too dangerous at home. They pretended to be happy, but encouraged him to go abroad and let him study abroad.

1927 In May, he left his wife and children for France.

Abroad, he kept a simple diary with his little notebook. Every once in a while, he rewrites this simple original diary into a detailed and vivid diary and sends it to his wife Junzhen. His later published diary of a trip to Europe is one of them, and between the lines, he is full of deep thoughts about his wife.

He also works as a translator. From March 1928, the monthly novel began to serialize his love stories in Greek and Roman myths and legends.

different

The happiness of the family is closely related to the fate of the country. Since then, Zheng Zhenduo and Gao Junzhen, together with the whole nation, have experienced many ups and downs, and finally ushered in the birth of People's Republic of China (PRC). However, they didn't expect that195810/October 17 became a day they would never forget.

On this day, Zheng Zhenduo, then Vice Minister of Culture, will lead a cultural delegation to visit. He got up earlier than usual and jotted down the diary of the previous day as usual. Later, I wrote a letter to my friend Jin Yi in Shanghai in a hurry. He said: "I will visit Afghanistan. First go to Moscow, then transfer to Tashkent, and then transfer directly to Kabul. The problem is that you should bring clothes that you wear all the year round. Although it's only three days' journey, it seems like a whole year has passed ... "

Then, in order to catch up with the time, he wolfed down his breakfast. After eating, he told his family to leave, and his son accompanied him to the airport. The flight was suspended because of the bad weather, so I took my son home. In the afternoon, he received a notice that he could take off, and then said goodbye to his mother and wife: "I'm leaving, and this time I'm really leaving." Unexpectedly, he said something else with a smile, but it turned out to be a prophecy.

On the morning of October 20th, 65438/KLOC-0, people learned from china national radio that the passenger plane from Beijing to Moscow crashed and Zheng Zhenduo, head of the China cultural delegation, and other comrades were killed.

Edit this passage of Liang Yusheng talking about Zheng Zhenduo.

(Excerpted from Liang Yusheng's "Pen, Sword and Book" and "Zheng Zhenduo and Commerce")

The first famous writer who died in an air crash was Xu Zhimo, and the second was Zheng Zhenduo. There is a lot to say about Xu Zhimo. Let me talk about Zheng Zhenduo. 19581October 20th, he was the head of the "China Cultural Group" and visited Afghanistan and the United Arab League. The plane crashed in Kanas, Soviet Union. His death is a great loss to the cultural circles in China.

During the May 4th Movement, two literary groups had a great influence on the New Culture Movement in China. One is a creative society composed of Guo Moruo and Yu Dafu. The other is the "Literature Research Association" composed of Zheng Zhenduo, (Mao Dun), Geng Jizhi and Ye. The former focuses on creation and the introduction of literary thoughts, while the latter focuses on the introduction and research of literary masterpieces and the collation of classic documents. Their contributions to the New Culture Movement in China are different.

"Literature Research Society" was founded in 192 1 with the full support of the Commercial Press and related to Zheng Zhenduo. It turned out that Zheng's wife, Gao Junzhen, was the daughter of Gao, a business veteran at that time. Zheng Zhenduo came back from studying in England and went to work as an editor because of her father-in-law.

Zheng Hegao's wedding is a major event in Shanghai's cultural circles. Qu Qiubai delivered a congratulatory message on behalf of the guests. He made a serious and humorous remark on the topic of' Xue Baochai's marriage as a gift'. "。 The general idea is that women should be liberated and free to fall in love. Full of guests, some stunned, some applauded and cheered. "(See Memoirs of Mao Dun. Now it seems that these words are of course common, but at that time (Shanghai half a century ago) they were enough to shock the world. Although Shanghai was already the most "modern" city in China at that time.

However, although Zheng Zhenduo entered the business because of his father-in-law, it can't be said that "people do their best", but "bring out the best in each other". The collection of business books provided him with the convenience of research, and he also made great contributions to business. Intellectuals over middle age will probably remember two magazines published in Business-Oriental Magazine and Novel Monthly. These were 1949, the two magazines with the highest quality in China before liberation. The authors are all first-rate famous writers. Zheng Zhenduo used to be the editor of Novel Monthly.

However, the monthly novel was not as famous as Shilin at first. Originally edited by Lian Tieqiao, a writer of Yuanyang Butterfly School. 192 1 year later, Mao Dun took over the editing, completely innovated, and became the position of New Literature and Art, which was later edited by Zheng Zhenduo, and the magazine had a greater development. This is the golden age of the national famous Novel Monthly. Zheng Zhenduo's famous literary outline was first serialized in Novel Monthly.

However, although he was the editor-in-chief of the most famous literary publication of that year, he was not so much a writer as an editor, scholar and bibliophile. Because his contribution in these three aspects is far greater than his creation. He wrote some short historical novels and novels about Greek mythology, which didn't seem to leave a deep impression on readers, but all the publications he edited were first-class and had a great influence. In addition to monthly novels such as Children's World, Ye Shengtao's famous fairy tale Scarecrow was also published in Children's World. Xu Dishan, who once taught at the University of Hong Kong, also wrote several children's songs. In addition, such as New Society, Literature, Literary Quarterly, Literary Renaissance, Current Affairs News Supplement, Deng Xue, etc., all played an important role in the new culture movement at that time.

Another great contribution, comparable to or even surpassing his editorial work, is his collection and preservation of China literature. After his death, as many as 90,000 books were dedicated to the country, among which countless rare books made great contributions.

His love for books, especially in middle age, made great efforts to collect and protect documents, which was touching. He himself once said in the new preface of Robbery of the Secretary (1956 edition): "I once thought of two stamps, one is' crazy writing consumes middle age' and the other is' not thin today's people love the ancients'. Although I have never carved it, I really am. For the works of ancient and modern people, whatever is slightly desirable or useful is universal. When I was in middle age, I was really keen on collecting and protecting documents. Sometimes, I often do things like' lifting the tripod to the extreme'. Although I can't do it, I will rise up and do it. Saving eleven miles is not necessarily useless. " "Crazy literature consumption in middle age" comes from Ding Gong's poem. From the preface, we can see his painstaking efforts in collecting documents.

65438-0953, Zheng Zhenduo is the director and Pang Xunqin is the deputy director of the exhibition preparation meeting. The exhibition has received the attention and affirmation of the central leadership.
