Ye Jiaying: The last "Scholar of Skirts" in China

In "The Manuscript and Image Exhibition of Professor Ye Jiaying", Mr. Ye Jiaying, who was surrounded by his juniors, told the story behind his works and images with Hong Liang's voice. Visual China

My body is a woman, but I have the character and ethics of the Chinese Confucian tradition.

Lian Lian's heart should not die,

Life is easy to old dreams.

In the eyes of many people, Ye Jiaying's impression is still on "Readers of Lang". The academic, graceful, and elegant, and was called "Mr. Ye" by Dong Qing.

However, in fact, Mr. Ye is well -deserved and deserved. She is known as "the last scholar in China wearing a skirt."

Soaking her in bitter water, but was not drowned by the wind and rain, but came out.

At the Fifth Global Nankai Alumni Association President Forum, at the age of 94, she announced that she would donate all their savings to Nankai University for supporting Chinese traditional culture research.

For the first time, she donated 18.57 million to set up the "Nankai University Jialing Fund".

The style of the gentleman is like it is naturally born from the ancient poetry, which is unforgettable and unforgettable.

On her 90th birthday, the former Prime Minister Wen Jiabao sent a congratulatory word: pure soul, noble ambition, poetry to give people strength, how difficult, real, and aesthetically educated future generations.

Such praise reveals Mr. Ye's elegant style and the character of "scholars".

Today, she lives in the "Gaoling Scholar" of Nankai University, where she reads poems, teaches students, focused on studying, and freely swims in the ocean of poetry. It has also become a place for scholars, students and people from all walks of life to study ancient poetry and study ancient poetry.

There, there are only poetry, which is filled with strong poetry, and there is also a sacred place to learn the nutrition of traditional culture.

Mr. Ye's life is out of his life. Whether it is in Beijing in the occupied area, or in Taiwan, which is out of trouble, and then in Canada, who has passed through the sea, she has been working on a three -foot podium, teaching poetry and spreading Chinese traditional culture.

Chen Yingzhen, a Taiwanese writer, who was once her student, recalled Mr. Ye's style on the podium. If so, "she can explain and clearly explains in a whole class in a whole class, so that students can be highly aesthetically aesthetically aesthetically. In the language realm, I forget the beauty of art and literature everywhere with Professor Ye in the temple of Chinese old poems. "

"Character" magazine once described the scene of Mr. Ye when he returned to China in this article: "When Ye Jiaying returned to China in 1979, Xu Xiaoli was a attendant. At that time, she was a student of Tianjin Normal University and went to Nankai University to listen. Recalling that at that time, everyone was wearing a clear (clothes), and boys and girls couldn't tell, but Mr. Ye stopped there on the podium. From the sound to her gesture and body, we were refreshing. It's so beautiful. "

Since graduating from Fu Jen University in 1945, she has been standing on the podium for more than 70 years, and Tao Li Man is full. To this day, she is still happy and willing to give lectures to young people. As long as someone was invited, she was glad to go.

Even if she was so old in her 90s, she still insisted on standing in the lecture. The student handed her a chair, but she refused. She did not pause throughout the process. She stood for two hours. Grasp the old tail. "The students present were all moved.

She said in the lecture: "The reason why I am in my 90s is still talking, because I think that since I have known the traditional Chinese culture, so many beautiful, meaningful, and valuable things, I should allow the next generation to be able to I can understand and accept it. If I can't transfer it to the next generation, I am sorry for young people, sorry for the ancients, and sorry for the teacher and teacher. "

After the war, Mr. Ye's life encountered waves, but she looked insignificant to her personal sadness. However, she regards the precious tradition of China, the personality and character of these poetry as a treasure, and are regarded as a little light in the dirt.

Her lifetime wish is to pass this light.

In an interview with reporters, Mr. Ye still said: "If people have a living, I will still be a teacher and still teach classical poems. I am 90 years old, but as long as I can still stand on the podium, I am still willing to continue to do such a job. "

Mr. Ye's teaching age is more than half a century. He traverses on both sides of the Strait and has east -west. He has cultivated the talents in classical poetry. Her contributions may be regarded as no right.

Mr. Ye has experienced a lot of setbacks and suffering, but if she can be with poetry in her life, she has always been her greatest luck and fun.

"This lotus flower is withered, and the flowers are scattered, but there is a lotus seed left."

Zhanyi is still old -fashioned,

The mother's thousands of times never pay back.

The opening sentence in "Sahaxing" written by Mr. Ye is: "How difficult one is, as well as water."

"Heaven achieves the word of all hundreds of fierceness." It can be said that Mr. Ye suffered his life.

In the flowering season, the pain of his mother was hurt, his father had no news, and he encountered his husband's domestic violence.

It was really suffering, and life never comforted her.

Mr. Ye can come out of the ordeal so frankly that poems have resolved the grief in her heart and gave her unlimited power.

In an interview, the host talked to her about her views on life's suffering, and reviewing her life, Mr. Ye said such a paragraph: peace is good, but if a person has not experienced setbacks at all, it is smooth and smooth. Life is not necessarily a good thing. No one wants to happen in all kinds of sufferings, but great sorrow and pain gives you another experience in life. If you do not break the ego's feelings of the poet, there will be no higher and farther ideas. From Mr. Ye's writing "Galian Miscellaneous Collection", we know that Mr. Ye's family is prominent. He was a Manchu of Mongolian descent and belonged to the yellow flag. This surname is Nalan, and his ancestors live in Yehedi. Later, due to the demise of the Qing government, many Manchu people were changed to the surname of Han, so the husband's family also picked the first word of the name of the ancestral home name "Ye He", and changed his surname to "Ye".

Mr. Ye was born on June 24, 1924 in this big family named Ye in Beijing.

Parents are intellectuals who have received higher education, and they are described by poetry. When she was three years old, she read poetry, and studied "The Analects of Confucius" with her family teacher when she was six years old. The four books were her opening reading.

Mr. Ye wrote down such a story in her enlightenment education in her self -reporting: a small copy of the small case she copied, which is a thin page of the thin pages. The stories narrated in the poem are extremely touching, and the tone of poetry is very harmonious. Therefore, she has been read as recitation soon after copying, and it also aroused her interest in reading poetry.

These classics nourish her young heart, and also nourish her indifferent and fame character and the love of ancient poetry.

After the start of the War of Resistance, Mr. Ye lost his father's love. The father who worked at the Aviation Agency moved south with the national government from Shanghai to move southward, gathered more with his family until he lost contact, and there was no message.

In 1941, the Pacific War broke out, which was a turbulent year. This year, Ye Jiaying, who was 17 -year -old, was admitted to the Department of Chinese Language of Furen University as a teacher, and was a master Professor Gu Sui, a master of classical poetry.

But this year, for the first time, she felt the sorrow of life and death.

The mother -hearted mother was worried about her illness and suffered from tumors. She went to Tianjin Concession to perform surgery and insisted on not letting people accompany. She died on the train back to Beijing due to bacterial infections. At that time, she sent a poem and wrote eight "Cry Mother Poems".

Turn to resign from the earth,

Breaking the roots of the hometown.

After graduating from college in 1945, Ye Jiaying was outstanding because of his talents and was hired by three middle schools as Chinese teachers, and was loved by students. At the beginning of the teaching career, love came quietly.

In college, although there were a lot of admirers, Ye Jiaying never talked about love.

At a classmate party, she met Zhao Dongzhang, who worked at Qinhuangdao Coal Mine Company. Since then, Zhao Dongzhang has been pursuing, and often visits Ye Jiaying from Qinhuangdao. Later, Zhao Dongzheng was unemployed and poverty. With the help of his brother -in -law, he found a job to teach at Nanjing Non -Official School.

Before leaving, he wanted to set the marriage with Ye Jiaying. He said that if Ye Jiaying did not agree, he would not go to Nanjing. Mr. Ye's heart was simple and kind, and when he saw the person who had lost Qinhuangdao for her, she responded.

In March 1948, Ye Jiaying gave up the work of teaching in Beijing and married Zhao Dongzhang, who worked at the Kuomintang Navy.

However, a happy marriage life has become an indelible pain in Ye Jiaying's life.

At that time, the Kuomintang was defeated. Due to work, her husband left Nanjing and went to Taiwan, and she also followed her husband to Taiwan.

Mr. Ye's knowledge will shine everywhere. Soon after arriving in Taiwan, someone recommended her teaching in Changhua Women's Middle School. In Taiwan, she boarded the podium and began to teach her familiar classical poems.

However, there are unpredictable storms. On December 5, 1949, her husband was imprisoned, saying that he had "ideological problems." In June of the following year, she and her daughter who had been eating at the age of age was also taken away and was locked in the Changhua Police Department. The police checked her resume, and there was no problem. Coupled with orphans and widows, they released their mother and daughter.

However, the original foundation of life is gone.

Ye Jiaying was interviewed and recalled that days, and said emotionally, "We are far from our hometown to Taiwan, there is no one -family, and there is a dormitory if there is a dormitory, and there is a salary. It's. "

At that time, it was in the summer, and it was difficult to find a job for a while. She took her child to rescue her husband around the day, and at night, she voted for her husband's family. However, this relative has just arrived in Taiwan. He has a distress and self -care. He has only two rooms for three generations and five people.

There was no way, Ye Jiaying's mother and daughter could only hover in the shade outside during the day. After sleeping in the evening, the whole family of relatives went to bed, and she laid a blanket on the corridor to sleep on the ground. The corridor became a place where the two children temporarily sheltered on the wind and rain.

That time was dark and sad.

Under white horror, orphans and widows lived together and lived tremblingly.

Looking at the face of people's faces in the family of relatives, living a helpless life under the fence, alive. Only poetry can heal injuries and reduce the burns caused by life.

In 1950, she wrote a "Turn Powder" to record the state of mind at the time.

Turn to the ground to resign, and leave the country.

I have sighed that I have no support, and I am shocked.

Ask the basin, who supports the world.

The woman in her arms swallowed in tears in the night.

In the era of war, people couldn't help wherever they fell. At that time, Mr. Ye did not dare to communicate with the mainland at that time, without a message from his hometown. How many degrees of life in my life,

The wind and rain are forced to come.

Mr. Ye, who had a lot of fate, thought that after his husband was released from prison, the family could live a peaceful life.

The idea is beautiful, but the reality is cruel.

The husband who was released from prison in 1952 changed his temperament, was irritable, and lost his temper, and even hit him. Ye Jiaying silently endured all of this. There was no complaint, and she did not give up her love for life. She was still hopeful and still learned power in poetry.

In the fall of 1954, Ye Jiaying ushered in a new turnaround in life.

Under the recommendation of the teacher, she went to Taiwan University to teach poetry and songs to be a full -time professor. She loves the love of ancient poems, and she is in every lesson. Tamkang University and Fu Jen University also hired her as a part -time professor.

Since 1966, she has gone out of the dark era of life during the journey of teaching poetry.

Mr. Ye became the first person to speak ancient poems on Taiwan TV.

"The poems of the three universities, the poems of Du Fu, Su Xin, and the ancient texts of TV and radio are all I am teaching. They came to listen to my class."

Western sinologists, when she saw her wonderful lecture, invited her to the United States to give lectures. This year, she was sent to the United States by Taiwan University, and successively served as a visiting professor at the University of Michigan and Harvard University in the United States.

Time is like a shuttle, and it is fleeting. Two years passed. After the exchange period expired, she returned to Taiwan first.

In the second year, Ye Jiaying decided to take his father to the United States. But because of visa and other reasons, she went to Vancouver, Canada.

At that time, Ye Jiaying had an 80 -year -old father, a daughter of a college and a middle school, and her husband could not find a suitable job. Helplessly the burden on the family's life was pressed on Ye Jiaying's thin shoulders.

The university in Canada requires poetry in English. That difficulty can be imagined. Often it is still looking at the dictionary lecture late at night. After getting up early in the morning, walking to the podium, and then talked.

The flowing life has just quietly calmed down. Doomed again to her head.

In 1976, Mr. Ye, 52, did not expect that the eldest daughter who was dependent on her that year died unexpectedly with her husband in an unexpected car accident.

She kept herself at home and rejected the greetings of all relatives and friends. No matter who's greetings, it will cause sorrow.

She wrote "Crying Girl Poems":

How many degrees of life in my life,

The wind and rain are forced to come.

Twilight Tiangong still punished me,

Don't make laughter but sorrow.

Since then, Mr. Ye has written ten "Crying Girl Poems".

Mr. Ye also learned the strength from poetry and came out of the sadness of losing his daughter.

"We learn classical poems, the biggest benefit is to let our hearts die!"

Ten years away from home, tens of thousands of miles,

Township is all the time.

The accidental death of the eldest daughter made Mr. Ye realize that "building everything on the little home and the ego is not my ultimate pursuit and ideal." She wants to let herself come out of the "ego" home, go back to teach China to teach To give "the remaining heat to the country and the poetry", we must convey the "heart and ideals of ancient poets to the next generation."

In 1978, Mr. Ye applied to return to China to teach. She once wrote in the letter that her life "there is no choice without choice", and this time she is the only time she has taken the initiative to fight.

In 1979, Ye Jiaying received a letter from the State Education Commission to approve her to teach at Peking University. However, Mr. Li Yanye, the friend of the teacher Gu Sui, wrote to her, and sincerely hoped that she could go to Nankai, "Nankai needs you more." As a result, Ye Jiaying was associated with Nankai.

Every March, after a suspension of the university in Vancouver, she flew back to domestic lectures. For more than 30 years, until 2014, she decided not to go over the ocean, chose to settle in the south, and spend the rest of her life.

In 1980, Ye Jiaying wrote "Sahaxing":

How difficult it is, as well as water.

It was also in the deep cup.

Yantian flowing fire burning,

The first aunt met the true fairy.

The green pine in the valley, if this is Ran.

I have gone through the frost.

Once I died, I would like to fly,

The sky blew wild waves.

In the past two decades, Ye Jiaying was invited to teach dozens of domestic universities and lectures on many international universities. She will inherit classical culture as her own responsibility.

There was a person who decided her personality and destiny from the name, saying that she was as flexible as water, and was restrained by the outside world. When she was liberated, she could also go forward like a large river.

She is still on the road, to pass the upcoming chanting to the next generation.

Someone once advised her that she was getting older and greater, so I should write more books and teach less lessons. This is also a bit of reason, but the transmission of education is more vitality.

Mr. Ye said, "If one day, I am willing to end my life on the podium."
