Personality assessment

University teachers like Lin Jiawen best.

"Student writers like Lin Jiawen have made a good start for middle school students," praised Professor Li Yumin, who thinks that Lin Jiawen is the youngest author with academic research ability and level since the founding of New China. This book is completely in line with academic norms, with well-documented words and more than 60 thousand words of notes; Its level is well-deserved in Fan Zhongyan's excellent works about celebrating the New Deal. And gladly preface this book.

Jia lamented that this book is so exquisite that it is hard to see that it was written by a high school student. Lin Jiawen has a good critical spirit. Cao Wei said excitedly that university teachers like college students who can play best, and Lin Jiawen is a master performer. When he was in college, he was most afraid of having no hobbies. Middle school students should decide their own development according to their hobbies.

"It's a lot of pressure to have such a student," said Liu, a history teacher. Lin Jiawen is the most talented student he has ever seen. Every time he attends class, especially when he talks about the history of Song Dynasty, he always looks at Lin Jiawen with his eyes to see how he reacts. Lin Jiawen is also a good student with all-round development, enthusiastic and cheerful. Join the Archaeological Society and the February Literature Society and give lectures to the students of the Society. The school has set up a loose platform for Lin Jiawen and provided him with convenient conditions as much as possible. "Lin Jiawen phenomenon deserves our reflection".

Personal work

In junior high school, Lin Jiawen had written his first book, When Taoism Ruled China: Political Practice of Taoist Thought and the Rapid Rise of the Han Empire, with 300,000 words. In a popular way, this book reinterprets the rule of Wenjing from the perspective of Taoist politics: In the early Han Dynasty, facing the declining economy and chaotic political situation, Emperor Wenjing used the technique of governing the country by Taoism, adapted to the objective situation, adjusted policies in time, and promoted the rapid rise of the Han Empire. Through several decades of political practice, Taoism has created the enlightened prosperity that Confucianism ruled China for two thousand years.

Lin Jiawen said that the publication of "When Taoism Ruled China: Political Practice of Taoism and the Rapid Rise of the Han Empire" was unexpected, and writing articles only urged me to study. Talking about why he was interested in history, Lin Jiawen said that when he was in primary school, his teacher advocated reading and formed the habit of reading. When he was in the senior grade of primary school, he became interested in history books. When he entered junior high school, he made clear his future development direction-focusing on the history of Xixia and Song Dynasty.

12 16, Xi' an middle school invited heavyweight guests from the history circle to hold a symposium on the publication of Lin Jiawen's new book, Worrying for the World: Fan Zhongyan and Qingli New Deal.

Present at the symposium were a famous white-haired Song historian, a second-class professor at the School of History and Culture of Shaanxi Normal University, a doctoral supervisor, a director of the China Song History Research Association and a librarian of Shaanxi Literature and History Museum, Professor Li Yumin. Also present were: Cao Wei, deputy dean of the School of History and Culture of Shaanxi Normal University; Jia, Associate Professor, School of Literature and Art, Northwest University; Hu, a postdoctoral teacher at the School of History and Culture of Shaanxi Normal University; Zhang Yanyun, deputy editor-in-chief of History Teaching Reference for Middle Schools, etc.

Personal life

A buzz cut, black-rimmed glasses and a black coat, the big boy in front of him, Lin Jiawen, is talkative about sunshine. He is quite sophisticated and has a maturity beyond his peers. History teachers and classmates call him "Miss Lin", while he calls Liu, Liu and Liu "sisters".

All-round development benefits from "normal mind"

Lin Jiawen said that his two books were not published at his own expense. His parents are both teachers and his family environment is relatively relaxed. His parents and school are tolerant and support his academic interests. I am not a partial student, and my subjects are relatively balanced and in the upper and middle reaches. And the publication of the book has not delayed normal study. I spent a year writing Worry for the World: Fan Zhongyan and Qingli New Deal, mainly in the winter and summer vacations. In his view, I owe my success today to a normal heart. "No matter what activities I take part in, I look very pale, because I can't get quick success and instant benefit in my study. I have to dive. "

Lin Jiawen thinks his greatest advantage is that he has a "normal heart". Because doing research requires this mentality, he looks down on things other than research. For the future, he hopes to continue to engage in historical research, preferably in colleges and universities, especially in the direction of national history. For the coming college entrance examination, he hopes to be admitted to the history department of Peking University. Of course, if he can enter the Central Eurasian Studies Department of Indiana University, he is also very much looking forward to it.
