Ye Jiaying,No. Jialing. Born in Beijing in July, 1924, he is a scholarly family, director of the Institute of Chinese Classical Culture of Nankai University, doctoral supervisor, Canadian China classical literature expert, and academician of the Royal Canadian Society. He has been a professor at Taiwan Province University, a visiting professor at Harvard University, Michigan University and Columbia University in the United States, a tenured professor at the University of British Columbia in Canada, and has been employed as a visiting professor at many domestic universities and an honorary researcher at the Literature Institute of China Academy of Social Sciences. In June 212, he was appointed as a librarian in central research institute of culture and history.

Although Ye Jiaying is a great writer now, she didn't have a study or even a desk when she was in trouble.

She said that she didn't want to be a poet or a scholar, and she never wanted to shoulder the responsibility of inheritance, just because she really had feelings for classical poetry and was really interested. So she can "endure sleeplessness and hunger", not for the sake of

what fame and fortune Ye Jiaying and his classmates gained in Mr. Gu Sui's home in p>1943, nor for the sake of achieving anything external. On the contrary, when Tao Yuanming and Du Fu can be revived in your feelings, poetry will naturally arouse your lively and open spirit, and the life of poetry will be integrated with your life, which is the endless pleasure of perfection.

Poetry has an intrinsic promotion effect on people's mind and quality. When the life of poetry permeates into a person's blood and blends with her spirit, then poetry will become a force to support them through their worries, from which they can gain a strong spirit of bearing burdens and a firm spirit of facing hardships without seeking to escape.

When suffering came out of nowhere, she silently recited Mr. Wang Guowei's words: "If you don't look at it when you open it, how can you fall suddenly?" My life experience is like this wandering catkin, which has fallen before it opened. Although her life has gone with the wind, she can always grow up in her own way no matter where she goes.

She should not only get comfort from poems, but also draw strength from them.

"The blow of suffering can be a reminder, but it can also be an exercise." We don't mean to see through the world of mortals, but sometimes we do want to see through some distractions and gain greater spiritual freedom, at the cost of having to bear some unbearable pain for ordinary people, and we must support ourselves in the pain and not fall down.

In the Chinese cultural tradition, the literati with ideals are often intellectuals who have to be unyielding in spirit and have a long way to go. It is necessary to be independent and help the world. If you see a precious cultural tradition dying out, as a person who knows its value and significance, it is inevitable that there will be an unspeakable pain. With this pain in mind, Ye Jiaying shouldered all the responsibilities, and did the inheritance and development work in a down-to-earth manner.

when I suddenly look back, the man is there, and Ye Jiaying's academic career for most of his life is inseparable from Wang Guowei. The book Wang Guowei and His Literary Criticism records the traces of her conversation with this dead soul.

When I was still studying at Fu Jen Catholic University, one day, my classmates copied several poems of Mr. Wang Guowei's "Recent Flowers" and showed them to Ye Jiaying. "Frost on the ground is as thick as snow. People speak in the west wind, and thin horses hiss at the waning moon. " Such a beautiful sentence immediately made her sing * * *, only to know that the author of "Ci Hua on Earth" originally had such a touching poem. She fell in love with Wang Guowei's ci at once and went to the library to borrow his complete works. Unexpectedly, after reading it, I was disappointed and surprised: to my disappointment, Wang Guowei left a few poems, only a hundred, and the rest were mostly boring textual research works that she still didn't understand; What is even more surprising is that Wang Guowei actually went to Kunming Lake at the age of 51. What on earth made him so determined to abandon all his former interests and hobbies? What kind of pain made him end his life in the prime of his life without pity? These questions have been hovering in Ye Jiaying's mind.

In the late 196s, before Ye Jiaying left Harvard, he drew up a research plan about Wang Guowei. After many changes and delays, he returned to Harvard in 197 and completed the plan. The question that bothered her many years ago slowly revealed the answer.

Wang Guowei left a suicide note in the early years of the Republic of China, and on the grounds that "the world has changed, there is no need to be humiliated again", he decided to sink himself. According to Ye Jiaying's research, the real reason is that what Wang Guowei needs is a purely objective research environment. However, in the troubled times like old China, it is almost impossible for people to understand and accept his detached position if he wants to avoid the contamination of political background. However, because Wang Guowei has a pessimistic personality and can't take positive actions, and he has too lofty ideals to go with the flow, he decided to die for fear of falling into the desperate situation of forced humiliation in the troubled times when political parties are fighting and warlords are fighting, in order to die for the last bit of innocence in his ideal.

Ye Jiaying said that in his early years, he was quite "independent". Apart from reading, he had little communication, knew little about outside life, and even talked about politics. When I was studying at Fu Jen Catholic University, my cousin once gave me four jokes: "I don't know,

Ye Jiaying took a photo with Miao Yue and Jin Qihua in p>1981,

I didn't know anything about it, but I enjoyed myself and went my own way." This kind of self-control of the "Qing Dynasty" is not without similarities with Wang Guowei. Therefore, in his original writings, Ye Jiaying was full of admiration for Wang Guowei's "Qing Dynasty".

However, it is precisely because of Wang Guowei's research that Ye Jiaying began to read books about the modern history of China, and he also became interested in reading the account of China's revolution and transformation in the past century. Since I dabble in a wide range, I gradually realize that the idea and life of being "independent" and pretending to be "clean" in the past is, to some extent, a narrow moral view of the weak. So in the spring of 1974, Ye Jiaying added an essay "Yu Lun" to Wang Guowei's book "Wang Guowei and His Literary Criticism". The evaluation of Wang Guowei changed from blindly admiring love to adding more and more rational reflective elements.

from then on, no matter how busy her daily work is, she will pay attention to the news about the mainland in newspapers and periodicals, and she is no longer afraid of what is happening in the motherland, but has insufficient participation.

The day when I interviewed Ye Jiaying was the season when "the sun was shining and the leaves of the trees were all off", which once gave Mr. Wang Guowei an inspiration. Ye Jiaying, at the age of 83, especially lamented that although chaotic times did not provide a good environment for Mr. Jing 'an, it was a loss of the times that Mr. Jing 'an committed suicide in the heyday of his academic career with extremely high talent. The so-called "times have failed to Mr. Jing' an, and Mr. Jing' an has also failed to the times where he was born" is also true. Ye Jiaying believes that even if the ideal of avenue can't be realized, the caring benevolence can't be lost, and people should give full play to their talents to live up to their lives, times and home country.

Ye Jiaying mentioned that during the summer vacation when she was studying Mr. Jing 'an in the Yanjing Library of Harvard University, sometimes at night she walked through a long dark aisle lined with bookshelves on both sides, and felt that Mr. Jing 'an's spirit was wandering nearby. When I suddenly look back, the man is there, and the lights are dim. When she was young, she was saddened by Mr. Jing 'an's early death. Twenty years later, Mr. Jing 'an finally gave her great enlightenment with all his life left in the dust of history.

In order to promote traditional culture, she took out her pension and set up a scholarship. "I was born in Beijing. I am a minority, not a Han nationality, but a Manchu of Mongolian origin, Yehnara."

Ye Jiaying's courtyard in Beiping was bought by her great-grandfather who was a "assistant leader". It was a big quadrangle in the Daoguang period. Mr. Deng Yunxiang, a famous late scholar, once wrote an article specifically describing this big quadrangle permeated with the atmosphere of ancient Chinese culture. He said, "This is a standard big quadrangle, ... with a good pattern and a large scale." Because Mr. Deng Lao's mother is often ill and Ye Jiaying's uncle is a Chinese medicine practitioner, he has the opportunity to enter this courtyard.

"The quiet, serene and leisurely atmosphere I felt as soon as I entered the yard can still appear in front of my eyes as soon as I close my eyes". Only a few times, Mr. Deng, who went to see a doctor with his mother at a very young age, actually closed his eyes after more than 5 years, and the atmosphere of this yard was in front of his eyes, which shows how deeply impressed this "special feeling of Beijing customs" will be.

the poetic environment accumulates the details of ancient culture. Mr. Deng Yunxiang described it this way: "The simple and clean bright windows without idle dust, the sunset outside the window and the quiet courtyard itself are a picture filled with artistic conception of words." The artistic conception of poetesss has always been nurtured in such an atmosphere. "

After years of wandering overseas, Ye Jiaying has deep feelings for her hometown. She loves her old home in Chayuan Hutong, Fu Jen Catholic University where she once studied, her hometown Beijing, and her dreamy old country.

Ye Jiaying said, "No matter in Taipei or in North America, I have given special courses on Du Fu's poems. I have written a book, "Du Fu's Eight Episodes of Autumn Prosperity", because I have special feelings for Du Fu's Autumn Prosperity. When I speak overseas, I often unconsciously burst into tears. I have written a poem myself, which has two sentences:' The end of the world often feels Shaolin poetry, and Beidou Jinghua has dreams.' Talk about my homesickness.

Ye Jiaying I suffered many hardships and hardships, but he was able to devote himself to a broader and higher realm of life and complete himself under the burden. She resolutely undertakes the mission of inheriting Chinese classical culture, conveying the life-giving power in poetry.

"I have been teaching since I graduated from university in 1945. I have been teaching for more than 6 years, and I haven't stopped teaching for a year. Teaching is my greatest pleasure. Any kind of academic culture can be extended for a long time because of its inheritance and development, and teaching is such a sacred work. My wish is to teach a few good students. "

She devoted the most energy in her life to teaching, teaching three middle schools in Beiping, teaching in Taiwan Province Lian Middle School for 2 years, and settled in Canada in 1969. The following year, she was offered a lifetime employment contract with the University of British Columbia, which has already made her rich.

The Cultural Revolution ended in p>1976, and China ushered in the spring of reform and opening up. She immediately wrote to the Ministry of Education in mainland China and applied to use her vacation time to return to China to teach. After being approved, she returned to China to give lectures for the first time in 1979, and wrote, "What is the scholar's plan to serve the country? I will never forget the soul of Li Du." The Book of Songs, Li Sao, poems by Li Bai, Du Fu and China are in the same vein. The great poet Dan

Ye Jiaying said that the poems of the Han, Wei and Six Dynasties

were burdened with human suffering. The late famous scholar Mr. Miao Yue called her "pregnant with the heart of Beijing Beidou and doing her best to serve the country as a scholar." In this way, she overcame many difficulties and insisted on returning to China to teach, not only because of her homesickness and feelings of serving the country, but also because of her love for Chinese classical culture and her responsibility for inheritance.

In p>996, she founded the Institute of Chinese Classical Culture in Nankai University, and set up the Yip's Tuoan Scholarship and Yongyan Academic Fund with her 1,-dollar pension.
