Jin Yuelin suddenly said: "Why did you give her vinegar? Does Bing Xin like drinking vinegar?"
"Hahahahaha!"
The whole room burst into laughter, but Jin Yuelin was the only one who couldn't figure it out.
There are too many jokes about Jin Yuelin. This most accomplished philosopher in modern China is a complete idiot in life, and his emotional intelligence is infinitely close to zero.
For example, one time, Jin Yuelin called Tao Menghe. Tao Menghe's servant asked him who he was, but Jin Yuelin couldn't answer for a while. The servant refused, so Jin Yuelin had to ask the driver he hired: "Do you know who I am?"
Who?" The driver was confused for a moment and couldn't answer. Jin Yuelin said anxiously: "Have you never heard anyone call you Dr. Jin?" The driver quickly said: "I call you Dr. Jin." Jin Yuelin suddenly realized that his surname was Jin.
, quickly ran back to the house and continued to make phone calls.
It is obviously difficult for Jin Yuelin to understand the plot of Shanxi Old Vinegar.
While Zhou Hexuan was watching the National Games, Bing Xin's famous article "Our Wife's Living Room" had also been published and was published in the supplement "Popular" founded by Zhou Hexuan.
Although Bing Xin later said that she was alluding to Lu Xiaoman, for example, the photos hanging on the wall in the living room were of Lu Xiaoman's style, but this article had too many references to Lin Huiyin, and anyone with a discerning eye would know who he was talking about at a glance.
For example, "My wife's daughter Binbin" is an allusion to Lin Huiyin's five-year-old daughter Liang Zaibing; the literature professor "about forty years old, with two short beards and a springy face" is an allusion to Hu Shi; the philosopher "always thought he was a smoker"
, alluding to Jin Yuelin.
The most obvious one is the sentence "A so-called American artist, a romantic widow, came to China with her husband the year before last, and was reluctant to leave, so she delayed herself." It is clearly alluding to Fairbank and his wife Fei Weimei. And Fairbank and his wife
Bing Xin does not know Lu Xiaoman, but often attends Lin Huiyin's salon. Bing Xin's defense obviously cannot be justified.
It happened that Lin Huiyin and her husband had just returned from Shanxi to inspect ancient buildings and brought a jar of local Shanxi mature vinegar. After she read the article "Our Wife's Living Room", she immediately asked someone to send the vinegar to Bing Xin, insinuating that Bing Xin wrote
The reason for the article is jealousy.
Lin Huiyin was probably furious at the time. Everything else can be forgiven, but the most difficult thing to forgive is that Bing Xin exposed Lin Huiyin's family privacy in the article, repeatedly implying that Lin Huiyin was a concubine and was born and raised by his concubine.
She doesn't criticize people but doesn't expose their shortcomings, and she doesn't hit people in the face. Bing Xin did go a little too far this time.
Hu Shi suddenly laughed and said, "She's just a talkative woman. Why mention her? Don't ruin your mood for no reason."
Liang Sicheng also said: "Yes, yes, let's talk about something else."
Neither of them wanted to talk about Bing Xin, and there was a lot of disgust in their voices.
The article written by Bing Xin not only offended Lin Huiyin, but also offended all the scholars who participated in the salon.
Liang Sicheng was especially angry. Bing Xin's descriptions in the article almost said that Liang Sicheng was wearing a cuckold.
At this moment, another person suddenly came into the living room. He was not tall but very energetic. He smiled and said, "You guys are here so early."
Lin Huiyin quickly introduced: "This is Mr. Zhu Guangqian, a writer and esthetician. Mr. Zhu has just returned from abroad and is now a professor at Peking University."
"We have already met." Hu Shi smiled.
Zhou Hexuan shook hands and said: "Mr. Zhu, nice to meet you!"
Just as Lin Huiyin was about to introduce Zhou Hexuan, Zhu Guangqian already smiled and said: "Mr. Zhou doesn't need to be introduced. I have been in Europe in the past few years and often see his photos in newspapers. Hello Mr. Zhou, I am very honored to meet you."
"Where." Zhou Hexuan said.
After Zhu Guang sneaked into his seat, Hu Shi continued the previous conversation: "To talk about a particularly interesting topic recently, it should be the dispute between the Beijing school and the Shanghai school of literature."
Zhou Hexuan smiled and said: "Brother Shi, does he belong to the Beijing sect or the Shanghai sect?"
Hu Shi was clever and said: "I used to live in Shanghai, so I belong to the Shanghai school. Now that I have arrived in Peking, I naturally belong to the Beijing school."
"Haha," Liang Sicheng laughed, "That makes sense. We all live in Peking and are all from Beijing."
Zhou Hexuan shrugged: "People like me who don't live in Shanghai and don't live in Peiping can only be separated from each other."
"Ha ha ha ha!"
As soon as this statement came out, everyone burst into laughter again.
The dispute between the Beijing school and the Shanghai school of literature is really a bit nonsense, and Zhou Hexuan is too lazy to get involved anyway.
The reason was that Shen Congwen published an article in the supplement of "Popular", criticizing the Shanghai-style writers' creative attitude of "playing with votes and showing off their appearance", and believed that Shanghai-style writers were all interested in money. This was equivalent to firing a cannon at the entire Shanghai literary world, including Lu Xun, Mao Dun, Zhang Henshui, Zhou Shojuan, Yu Dafu, and Zhang Ziping were all scolded by him.
The first person to jump out to fight back was Su Wen. This person had mediocre achievements in literary creation, but he was able to leave a great name in the literary world of the Republic of China. The reason was that he was scolded by Lu Xun, Qu Qiubai, Shen Congwen and others. He was able to do this. It's really not easy.
Shen Congwen criticized those who wrote indiscriminately, but Su Wen forcibly bound the entire Shanghai literary world. He also said that prices in Shanghai were high and it was difficult for authors to make a living, so they could only write crazily to publish books without even having time to revise. Su Wen placed himself and the Shanghai writers on the weaker side. He believed that Shen Congwen was a well-fed man and did not know how hungry a man was. He believed that the Beijing-style writers relied on the strong to bully the weak and bullied the poor Shanghai-style writers.
Shen Congwen quickly wrote another article, saying that "Shanghai-style writers" have nothing to do with the region, but only represent a bad creative attitude. There are also many Shanghai-style writers living in Peiping.
However, it is not clear to explain at all, because the terms "Shanghai School" and "Beijing School" already reflect distinct regional characteristics.
Nowadays, the Beijing faction and the Shanghai faction have started a war, involving dozens of writers in a melee. The number of writers joining the battle is increasing every day, making it the most sensational event in the Chinese literary world in the past few months.
Mr. Lu Xun was still the most awesome. When the two sides were having a heated argument, Lu Xun suddenly wrote an article "Beijing School and Shanghai School", which seemed to be shouting: "You scumbags, shut up and listen to me." !”
What did Lu Xun say in the article?
The content is as follows: "There are many officials in the imperial capital, and there are many merchants in the concessions. Therefore, the literati who are in the capital are close to the officials, and those who are not in the sea are close to the merchants. Those who are close to the officials are making the officials famous, and those who are close to the merchants are making the merchants profit, and they also rely on it to make a living. To put it simply, the "Beijing faction" is the help of the officials, and the "Shanghai faction" is the help of the merchants. However, those who get food from officials have hidden status, but they can still be proud to the outside world, while those who get food from businessmen have obvious status, and it is difficult to find anywhere. Those who concealed it, then forgot the reason, and then used it to distinguish between pure and dirty. And the officials' disdain for businessmen was based on the old Chinese customs, which made the 'Shanghai School' fall into the eyes of the 'Beijing School'."
Lu Xun's words are really harsh, but they are not unreasonable. Those two sentences, "Beijing faction is the help of officials, and Shanghai faction is the help of businessmen" are simply amazing!
However, Lu Xun's words are also slightly biased. According to Lu Xun, even Zhou Hexuan became an "official's helper", and anyone who wrote seriously became an "official's helper". Isn't this nonsense?
Lin Huiyin asked with a smile: "Mr. Zhou, what do you think of the dispute between the Beijing faction and the Shanghai faction?"
What do you think?
Zhou Hexuan remembered that decades later, Beijing had once again become the capital of China, and Shanghai had become an international metropolis. The two cities had always been in love with each other, and that seemed to be a new continuation of the Beijing style and the Shanghai style.
As for the current capital of Nanjing, it is obviously not regarded by the Beijing faction and the Shanghai faction. It is simply a "pseudo imperial capital".
Zhou Hexuan smiled and said: "Didn't everyone discover a very wonderful phenomenon?"
"What phenomenon?" Zhu Guangqian asked.
"The dispute between the Beijing school and the Shanghai school has developed to this day. Basically, those who got involved are Shanghai writers, while the writers in Peking didn't pay attention at all." Zhou Hexuan said with a smile, "On the Peiping side, only Shi Tuo stood up and wrote an article.
, but it’s tame. His article is probably saying, don’t fool around, there is no Beijing or Shanghai style, it’s all Shen Congwen’s nonsense, come on, let’s sit down and drink tea, that’s the serious thing.”
Liang Sicheng asked: "Why don't the writers in Peking participate in the debate?"
"It can be explained by a joke," Zhou Hexuan said, "Shanghai people like to ask when they meet each other, do you think Beijing or Shanghai is better? But Beijing people don't ask. Why? Because in the eyes of Beijing people, there are still many things in the world.
Is there a better place than Beijing?"
Everyone was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter: "Hahahaha!"
Hu Shi laughed so much that he wiped away tears, pointed at Zhou Hexuan and said, "Mingcheng, you are a black man."
