? Zhuge Liang said in the Commandment: "If you are not indifferent, you will have no ambition. If you are not quiet, you will easily seek pleasure and be dominated by worldly fame and fortune, but you can't make clear your lofty aspirations." If you are restless, you will be impetuous, dominated by selfish distractions, and you will not be able to concentrate on reaching the highest level. Qian Zhongshu, a learned scholar, is a model of practicing indifference and tranquility.
? Qian Zhongshu devoted his life to reading, thinking, creating and researching, and his knowledge runs through China and the West, ancient and modern. The representative works in literary creation mainly include: essays written on the edge of life, short stories "Man, Beast and Ghost" and novel "Besieged City"; In fact, his achievements and status in the field of academic research are no less than those in the field of literary creation. His masterpieces mainly include 16, 17, 18 China in English literature, A Review of Poetry and Art, Selected Notes on Song Ci, and Guan Cone Compilation, which can be described as remarkable achievements.
? Originally, Qian Zhongshu, who has always been silent and indifferent, is not well known and sought after by the general public and even the academic circles, and has no intention of becoming a household name. However, in the 1980s, with the republishing of the novel Fortress Besieged, the academic works Tan Yi Lu and Guanzui Bian were published, and they began to rise. 1986, the writer extended his foot to write the Kunlun Culture-Qian Zhongshu, an urgent research book about Qian Zhongshu. In this regard, Qian Zhongshu was not happy and complacent, but rationally and calmly realized his own importance and needs, and was quite uneasy and vigilant about the rise and excitement of "Xue Qian".
? He once said: "Generally speaking, learning is what two or three simple-minded people discuss and cultivate in an old house in the middle of nowhere, and the outstanding learning in the market will become popular learning." "Life is short, and the fate of the bench is on pins and needles when boasting." He himself "doesn't want to hear about it again" and tries to discourage others from studying himself. After failing to make a firm statement, I had to let him go, because he had no time and energy to kill, and more and more meaningful things needed him to do wholeheartedly.
? From 1990 to 65438+February, the TV series Fortress Besieged, which was adapted from his novel of the same name, won wide acclaim and brought him a lot of fame and fortune. However, this is not what Qian Zhongshu hoped. Never suffering from material poverty, he is not proud that he is an academic star and a well-known cultural celebrity. He resolutely donated 10,000 yuan in remuneration, politely declined to be hired by many parties at home and abroad to give lectures, declined the "pilgrimage" of fans who came from all over the world, and did not want to flatter the faces of media reporters who were eager for it, nor did he want others to "dress up" his Qian Zhongshu for some purpose. 199 1 Eighteen TV stations, including Beijing, Shanghai and Tianjin, jointly filmed the album "China Contemporary Cultural Celebrities", and he ranked in the first album. However, when he was discovered, he unexpectedly refused to shoot, which is understandable. He not only resisted the temptation of fame and fortune that ordinary people could not resist, but also was unwilling and disdainful to pursue fame and fortune, and was reduced to being entangled in profit. He once taught a young student earnestly: "You young people, don't pursue fame and fortune. What young people need is to enrich their minds and think in multiple levels and directions. " Intellectuals who regard fame and fortune as clouds and status as dirt show their lofty integrity and fashion.
? Qian Zhongshu is knowledgeable, ambitious, elegant in taste and noble in personality. He is famous without excuses, disdains showmanship and literary greatness, and devotes himself to his favorite literary creation and academic research. He once said to a young student: "The public image shaped by speech and performance is often the most unsuccessful creation of a successful writer, and of course it may be the best creation of a bad writer." It is both teaching and introspection.
? Qian Zhongshu devoted himself to study, willing to be lonely and indifferent, unwilling to waste time making friends and wandering in the quagmire of meaningless entertainment; He cherishes time like gold, is quiet and indifferent, and doesn't like others to visit him and disturb his quiet study life. Once, a foreign lady called her home to be a guest, and Qian Zhongshu politely declined: "If you eat an egg and feel delicious, why do you need to know the hen of this egg?"
? Qian Zhongshu is too cold and quiet to make friends. Some people may think that Qian Zhongshu is partial and inhuman. In fact, he attaches great importance to sincere friendship. He cherishes true friendship and meaningful communication without utilitarian heart. He has deep feelings for his old friends and their kindred spirits' children, and is by no means heartless. Some people may find Qian Zhongshu unsociable and boring. In fact, he is well-read, eloquent, eloquent and witty, and often makes people laugh and admire his friends. He has a legacy of Mencius and Han Yu.
? Qian Zhongshu is so indifferent and quiet, even indifferent and quiet to the extreme. He once told his wife, Jiang Yang, that after his death, his funeral would be very simple, with no ashes, no mourning hall and no memorial service, and he would leave in obscurity. After his death, Jiang Yang argued and ruled out all interference, helping him realize his last wish.
? Hong Yingming said in "Caigen Tan": "You can only see the true state of life when it is calm; The taste is light and the music is well known. " Qian Zhongshu deeply understands the true meaning, and his indifferent and quiet life is admirable. It can be said that "the mountain rises and the scenery stops. Although it is unattainable, it is yearning for it."
? Time flies, heaven and man are one, the Sri Lankan has passed away, and my thoughts will last forever!
