Liang Guizhi has been teaching in the Chinese Department of Shanxi University for a long time, and was hired as a professor in 199 1 year. 1999 transferred to the College of Literature of Liaoning Normal University as a professor and postgraduate tutor. Now he is the director of China Dream of Red Mansions Society. 1995 to 1996, he was a visiting professor at York College of City University of new york, teaching China literature and China culture.
When it comes to Liang Guizhi, many people in A Dream of Red Mansions invariably say that "he used to plant fruit trees" with different meanings. During the Cultural Revolution, Liang Guizhi cut in line to do research on fruit tree cultivation for several years. 1978, as the first batch of graduate students after the Cultural Revolution, he was admitted to the Chinese Department of Shanxi University to study classical literature and studied under Professor Yao Dianzhong, a disciple of Zhang Taiyan, a master of Chinese studies.
Even if he had the opportunity to contact and study classical literary works, it was quite accidental that Liang Guizhi chose to study A Dream of Red Mansions. Yao Dianzhong recruited more than a dozen students when he was a Grade 78 student in Shanxi University. According to the curriculum design at that time, these graduate students had to learn all the history of classical literature and works during their school days, and they could only rely on the content of their graduation thesis to determine their future research direction. At that time, Liang Guizhi's graduation thesis should be about Zhuangzi, and later she wanted to write about Li Yu. At first, he never thought that he would study redology all his life.
In the early 1980s, there were almost no journals in China that published articles on Redology. In addition to The Journal of A Dream of Red Mansions, The Journal of China Red Cross Society and The Collection of Studies on A Dream of Red Mansions organized by the Institute of Literature of China Academy of Social Sciences, only various university journals provide some publishing space. At school, Liang Guizhi wrote a paper "The End of Tanchun: Overseas Princess". He thought it was hopeless to publish it in Chinese mainland, so he boldly sent it to Hong Kong's Vitality magazine. After the article was published, he missed it every day. Needless to say, the full text was finally published, which made him hesitate and made him happy. 198 1 A graduate student published a paper in a Hong Kong academic journal, and the response was not small. Naturally, Liang Guizhi's popularity is increasing day by day. Affected by this, he temporarily decided to change the direction of his graduation thesis and continue to work here.
In the early 1980s, when Liang Guizhi decided to devote himself to the study of A Dream of Red Mansions, the wind of textual research prevailed in the redology circle. The so-called "Shi Xiangyun married Jia Baoyu" put forward by Zhou was dismissed by most people as wishful thinking and entered another book. Under this background of redology research, the edges and corners of Liang Guizhi, who has just entered the Red Gate, are exposed. 1982, he wrote to Zhou and sent his paper "Shi Xiangyun married Jia Baoyu", which recognized and continued Zhou's inference and put forward many powerful evidences. Zhou secretly nodded, thinking it was good. With Zhou's affirmation, it is even more hilarious. The following year, his graduation thesis "Exploring the Story of the Lost Stone" was published as a book. This time, Zhou prefaced the book and put forward the concept of "exploring the lost story" for the first time.
On the whole, Liang Guizhi is a lucky man. His gentle personality and academic rigor prevented him from being suppressed by many "grassroots" and "newcomers" in the research circle of Dream of Red Mansions with distinct factions.
Liang Guizhi once said something that sounded arrogant: The research field of A Dream of Red Mansions in the 20th century was dominated by textual research experts, lacking real thinkers and artists. What is lacking in the study of A Dream of Red Mansions in the past hundred years is soul, subjective spirit and cultural philosophy ..... which is basically a' misreading history' of A Dream of Red Mansions.
Later, he wrote in Guangming Daily that Hu Shi managed A Dream of Red Mansions with a "scientific method", while Zhou interpreted the text with the thinking of integrating literature, history and philosophy. The difference between these two research ideas is precisely the fuse of all the disputes and arguments about A Dream of Red Mansions. In an interview with Phoenix Weekly, Liang Guizhi revisited this point of view, arguing that all disputes about A Dream of Red Mansions are, in the final analysis, disputes about personnel interests, but what is more essential is disputes about thinking modes and research methods.
Perhaps it is because of his attitude towards things rather than people and his academic achievements that Liang Guizhi was successfully accepted by the mainstream Dream of Red Mansions. As early as his first book came out, A Dream of Red Mansions magazine called it "the first lost monograph" in the history of redology, and A Dream of Red Mansions Dictionary called it "creating a new branch of redology-lost studies". 1985, when he "didn't take the initiative to fight for it", the Red Cross added him as the director of the society.
From the 1980s to the mid-1990s, the China Dream of Red Mansions Society was worth a hundred times because of its identity and control over the publication of the Journal of Dream of Red Mansions. Redology researchers from all over the world rushed to join the club. However, the directors of the Dream of Red Mansions Society are mixed, mostly composed of people who are in Beijing and have close ties with the Dream of Red Mansions Society. The vice president, executive director and editorial board of the Dream of Red Mansions Society are mostly held by people who are closely related to the Society or have the ability to hold academic conferences. It is often the Redology researchers who hold national academic conferences and become the executive directors and editorial boards of the Redology Society. If foreign researchers want to join this club, they will not be welcome in it. I'm afraid they can't wait three or five years. And even if you join the club, the director of the Dream of Red Mansions Society is also a reputation and has no specific interests. They won't give it to you for free, including The Journal of A Dream of Red Mansions, so you have to buy it yourself. Weighing this fact, Liang Guizhi is lucky.
I admire Mr. Zhou very much. He said in a speech: Only two and a half people in China can read A Dream of Red Mansions, one is Hu Shi, the other is Zhou, and the other is Lu Xun. The interaction with Zhou is also very unique. He once said that in his early years, "the feeling of admiring celebrities and longing for the spring breeze is really like the old saying' looking at Yun Ni in drought'". However, Liang Guizhi grew up in a small place like Qixian. She has been fidgeting and incoherent since she met someone who is a little wider. 198 1 year, he first took a few bottles of Shanxi old wine to Zhou's house. Originally, Zhou didn't do anything, but the crazy girl told a joke with a laugh. But the problem is that his name is too loud and his prestige is too high. Therefore, Liang Guizhi is both afraid and hesitant. "Getting started, you can't bow." "Too disconnected.". After the knot, the number of times is more. Zhou Jian got along well with him, so he didn't stick to the so-called convention. Liang Guizhi's hanging heart began to let go, and he was very interested in words. Zhou is good at making excuses and reciting mulberry leaves, while painting a gourd ladle and learning gourd ladle, and he is also proud of Lingyun thought.
On September 24th, 20 12, Wen Wei Po published Liang Guizhi's article Geng Yinben: Newly Discovered Manuscripts of Qing Dynasty, which revealed the basic situation of Geng Yinben to the society for the first time. Since then, the discussion of "Geng Yinben" by experts, scholars and netizens has been heating up.
