After the incident, it aroused strong repercussions among people in Guangdong and Ningbo cultural circles.
Who wrote the sacred amethyst? Last night, Foshan TV Teahouse invited Ningbo scholars Chongguang Wang, Dai and Chen Zhonglie to have a face-to-face "collision".
Four "on friends"
Li Jianming: (President of Shunde Historical and Cultural Research Association, Chairman of Shunde Writers Association, editor of Zhujiang Business Daily) In the early 1990s, Li Jianming found that reading Sheng Amethyst in Cantonese was more catchy and rhyming. He suspected that Sheng Amethyst was written by Cantonese, so he began to research the author of this book. After 13' s extensive and in-depth excavation and research, Li Jianming expounded the reasons why San Amethyst was written for Qu Shizu from the aspects of legends, documents, editions, objects, fields, descendants and phonology.
Chen Zhonglie: (History Researcher, Guangdong Academy of Social Sciences)
Dai: (deputy editor-in-chief of Ningbo Yinzhou Daily, director of Ningbo Journalists Association, member of Ningbo Cultural Research Association and vice chairman of Yinzhou Xinlian) has been engaged in local cultural research and journalism for a long time, and has a unique research on Ningbo local culture.
Chongguang Wang: (Adjunct Professor of College of Literature, Ningbo University, member of Ningbo Cultural Research Association, Ningbo Poetry Society and Ningbo Writers Association) has been engaged in the research of historical culture and tourism culture for a long time, and has written The Mausoleum of China, Walking on Ningbo, Walking on the Roof of the World, etc.
Qu Shizu and Wang Yinglin
Qu Shizi (1234~ 1324) was born in the Southern Song Dynasty, and his ancestors were mostly early scholars in Shunde. As a boy, Qu Shizu is smart and open-minded, and is called a "child prodigy". When I grow up, I am calm and heavy, proficient in classics and history, with good writing style and good handwriting. I have written Ye Qi Ji and so on. I am famous for my erudition in my village, and many people have studied under me. The place where Qu Jingzi taught in her life was originally called "Tuozhou", and later Qu Jingzi was named "Mr. Dengzhou", so people also called this place "Dengzhou".
Wang Yinglin (1223~ 1296), the word, was named Houzhai, and was named Jushi. In the Southern Song Dynasty, he was born in Yinxian County, Qingyuan (now Ningbo, Zhejiang). He was a scholar in the first year of Chunyou (124 1) and studied macro characters in the fourth year of Baoyou (1256). Li Zong, Du Zong and Gong Zong lived in the three dynasties, and successively served as court officials such as Zuo Lang, Li Lang Guan, and Zhongshu Sheren, and later moved to Li Shang Shu. He wrote many books in his life, including 37 books and nearly 700 volumes. Moreover, he was knowledgeable and was praised as "unparalleled" at that time.
Our reporters Guo Niteer and Shen Yu reported: "At the beginning of life, human nature is good ..." Almost everyone in China knows "The Holy Amethyst", but whether the author is a native of Wang Yinglin or Shunde in Ningbo has been inconclusive. Recently, academic circles have been arguing constantly.
In order to discuss this "historical case" together, yesterday, two Ningbo scholars personally came to Foshan TV Station and had a face-to-face "competition" with two Guangdong scholars.
Guangdong scholars:
Qu Jingzi is the author, and I have an argument.
"The author of The Amethyst is Qu Shizu, and it has nothing to do with Wang Yinglin." In yesterday's "Dialogue", Li Jianming, a Guangdong scholar, first made clear his views. He demonstrated his views from the aspects of content, historical records and document versions.
First of all, Li Jian said that Wang Yinglin, a scholar of Zhejiang University, is a rigorous scholar and the author of Pearl in Primary School. If Saint Amethyst was written by the same person at the same time, then Saint Amethyst made some common-sense mistakes. "He is talking about two famous people, one is the world-famous Su Xun, and the other is Liang Hao, whom he has studied deeply. He is introducing their names and lives. This is not in line with Wang's academic level and attitude. Another Guangdong scholar, Chen Zhonglie, also added that if we compare the sacred amethyst with Primary School, we will find that there are obvious differences between the two books on some similar issues, such as confusion in the expression of the relationship between monarch and minister, father and son, brother and husband and wife.
At the same time, from the historical records, it is clearly pointed out that Qu Shizu is the author of Three Amethyst, from the Tongzhi of Guangdong in Ming Dynasty to the county annals of Shunde. Including Figures of Guangzhou and General Records of Guangdong compiled by Huang Zuo, a Guangdong scholar in the Ming Dynasty, it is clearly recorded that Qu Shizu wrote it. There is a cloud in Shunde County Records in Wanli period of Ming Dynasty: "The Three-Character Classic was written by the son of an old man." ; In the Ming and Qing Dynasties, Qu Dajun recorded in Guangdong Xinyu: "The Three Amethyst recited was written by a stone at the end of the Song Dynasty. Shunza, a native of Dengzhou, Shunde, is a real uncle, and he is not an official in the Yuan Dynasty. The San Zi Jing was written after seclusion. " ; In the Qing Dynasty, Ji Jing also recorded Shu Zi's "Three Amethyst Crystals" at the end of the Song Dynasty in "The Story of Dayun Mountain Residence".
Judging from the document version, Li Jian said that in order to prove that Qu Shizu was the author of Three Amethyst, he spent thirteen years traveling all over the country and read various versions of Shunde County Records, Guangdong Tongzhi, Nanhai County Records, Ningbo County Records and other related local documents. At the same time, he also read a lot of scholars' notes since the Song Dynasty, looking for clues related to Sheng He Qu from their articles. Later, I went to the libraries in Guangzhou and Beijing to find dozens of versions of The Amethyst, and all of them had clues to follow. During the Xianfeng period, Li Wentian, a native of Shunde, made a note on San, directly pointing out that the author of San was Qu Shizu. There is little evidence that the author of Three Amethyst is Wang Yinglin, except that Wang Xiang mentioned it in the preface to Three Amethyst during the Kangxi period of Qing Dynasty.
"As a famous scholar in the Song Dynasty, his descendants kept copying and sorting out his works, but why didn't anyone mention that he wrote the Saint Amethyst?" Finally, Li Jianming pointed out that Wang Yinglin was such a famous scholar that his students, successors and fellow villagers could not be unaware of it, nor did they mention that he wrote the Three Character Classics.
Ningbo scholars:
The author of Saint Amethyst is Wang Yinglin.
Yesterday, at the recording and broadcasting scene of Teahouse, I saw Chongguang Wang and Dai, scholars from Ningbo. Facing Foshan scholars Li Jianming and Chen Zhonglie, according to historical documents, it is proposed that Shunde Renqu is the author of San Zi Jing. They still stood on the historical and cultural background and Wang Yinglin's personal academic accomplishment, and put forward the author of Sanzijing, a leading figure in the Southern Song Dynasty. Wang Yinglin:
Evidence 1:
Wang Yinglin has the conditions to create Saint Amethyst.
Dai believes that "San" is a Confucian master in China's traditional culture. "Although this book is only 1000 words, it has a large amount of information, a high academic level and a wide range, which is not created by ordinary authors. The author of this book must meet the following four conditions. " Dai said to him, then, what are these four conditions?
Ningbo scholars said: First, the author must have rich knowledge and rich life experience, and be able to integrate astronomy, history, literature, natural science and other knowledge; Secondly, the author is keen on children's literature education, and has experienced the practice personally, and has unique views on children's education; Thirdly, the book is consistent with Wang Yinglin's creative thought, taking history as the classics and narrative as the latitude; Fourth, this person must have the habit of writing "three-character classics".
At the same time, Dai also believed that holiness was the product of a certain historical development stage, just like the Renaissance in Italy. Jiangsu and Zhejiang were economically and culturally developed areas at that time, and Saint Amethyst may have been born here.
In addition, Ningbo scholars believe that "The Holy Amethyst" was introduced to Japan at the end of the Southern Song Dynasty and became a textbook for Japanese children's enlightenment. At that time, Jiangsu and Zhejiang had close contacts with Japan. It can be seen that Saint Amethyst should come from Jiangsu and Zhejiang.
Evidence 2:
There is no record in the literature, which is an oversight of history.
Foshan scholars question why there is no clear historical record in ancient historical documents. According to scholars of Ningbo Gang, according to historical records, Wang Yinglin wrote more than 700 books in his life, but only more than 600 books were recorded in history, among which Saint Amethyst may be an unrecorded book. So, why is it lost? Dai said: "Because the' Three Character Classics' was very common at that time, it was not regarded as an important work." Mr. Chongguang Wang went on to say, "Perhaps Wang Yinglin himself didn't think that his painstaking work on Hongfu had not been widely disseminated. On the contrary, this unpublished booklet is a household name and has been circulated for hundreds of years. "
During the heated discussion, Li Jianming, a Guangdong scholar, pointed out two serious injuries in the Three Character Classics and the Primary School Book respectively, so as to show that the author of the Three Character Classics is the right person for Shunde. After listening carefully to his statement, Ningbo scholars said that at that time, due to the changes of the times and values, Dai asked, "Will an article written by a person in junior high school be the same as that written after work?" A word won warm applause from the audience.
Ending:
One argument, two wins.
"Who is the author of Saint Amethyst?" Some people may think that it is meaningless to continue discussing a historical case that has lasted for 400 years, but it is all about the poor. At the end of the pure academic debate in Hong Fei Teahouse yesterday, not only did the scholars from both sides not turn against each other because of the fierce debate, on the contrary, they also smiled and held out their hands of friendship, holding their four hands tightly in front of all the audience present, which made the audience very moved.
Of course, the enthusiasm of Foshan scholars and audience also moved Ningbo scholars who came to debate. They said, "This is our first visit to Foshan, but we are very touched. First, we feel heartfelt respect to see that the people of Foshan love the traditional culture of the motherland so much; Second, Foshan scholars are deeply moved by the spirit of truth, fairness and justice. "
Yes, even though yesterday's argument ended in a stalemate between the two sides, the issue of the author's ownership is still inconclusive. But what impressed people most in the whole discussion was the homesickness aroused by scholars. In this era of cultural loss and the prevalence of new money worship, their rigorous and pragmatic academic style has infected everyone present, and they seek their roots in traditional culture, just as Saint Amethyst has penetrated into the blood of China's traditional culture and become a cultural heritage shared by the whole nation.
