The heat quickly swept through.
As the center of Chinese culture, Peking University's popularity had undoubtedly increased.
As the book circulated around Peking University, the popularity of the book suddenly rose to another level. In particular, the book on the rise of a great nation described the rise of Great Britain in a simple and direct manner.
In this world that had just opened its doors, it was a huge impact on everyone.
For a moment, many students couldn't help but love it.
"The rise of Great Britain is simply a history of bandits!”
"Yes, yes!"
"They, they actually did this. To think that I worshipped them so much and wanted to go to Great Britain to study!”
"Yes, only after reading this book did I understand the wild ambitions of the West.”
"This book is too vernacular. It would be even better if it could be embellished!”
"What are you saying?"
"But that's indeed the case!"
.......
The students were in heated discussion. The book on the rise of a great nation could only be regarded as an enlightening book for future generations. However, this depended on the era. Just like how glass was just a myriad of things in this era, in ancient times, it was priceless.
It was the same for the book Rise of a Great Nation.
He used the simplest and most detailed description to write about the rise of the entire Sun Never Sets. The level of detail was even more detailed than the information obtained by the countries who studied in Great Britain.
Furthermore, the book discussed the nature of the rise, as well as civilizations and countries. This was too attractive to students.
One had to know that even in the later generations, this book had been read by countless people.
Not to mention this era.
As the popularity increased.
Soon, the Peking University teachers were also attracted by this book.
"Hahaha, Mister Zhong Fu's writings are still as sharp as ever.”
"Mister Jin Gu, you're also such a genius.”
Hu Renyuan laughed.
As the principal of Peking University, although this person was not as famous as the one behind him, he was not a simple person either. In the twenty-seventh year of Guangxu, he was admitted to the special class of Nanyang Public School. Later, he studied in Japan and graduated from Sendai Second High School. After that, he studied shipbuilding in England and graduated from the University of Tyre. After returning to China, he served as the chief engineer of Jiangnan Shipyard, a teacher at the Capital University, and a senior at Peking University.
He was also an advanced person.
Mr. Zhong Fu's article and Jiang Chen's book attracted him instantly.
"Humph!"
"Chen Zhongfu's writings are still acceptable, but this Jin Gu is like a refined scholar. Although he has some talent, he dares to write books in public while doing street acrobatics.”
A cold snort and a dissatisfied voice sounded.
Hu Renyuan stopped abruptly, and an awkward expression appeared on his face.
"Mr. Tang Sheng!"
"This book!"
Hu Renyuan looked at the old man in front of him with a hint of embarrassment. He was familiar with this person. As for his anger, he most likely knew what was going on.
This old gentleman was called Tang Sheng, also known as Hongming, and his nickname was Licheng. He called himself a lazy person, from the east, west, north, and south. He was also known as Mr. Donghong, a Hanbin scholar. His English name was Tomson. His ancestral home was Hui 'an County, Fujian Province, and he was born in the Nanyang British Ma Lai Xi Ya Penang Island. He was well-versed in both Chinese and Western languages and was known as the "Strange Man of the Late Qing Dynasty". He was proficient in nine languages, including English, French, German, Latino, Greek, and Malay. He had obtained 13 doctorates and was the first person in China to be proficient in Western science, language, and Eastern Chinese studies during the Manchu Dynasty.
Of course, the most important thing was that this person was a representative of ancient prose and also a representative of traditional culture.
Jiang Chen's article was indeed brilliant, but it was written in vernacular.
Faced with such an outcome, it would be strange if this old man did not explode.
"Principal, I still have something to do, so I'll take my leave first!”
Gu Hongming snorted coldly and looked at the embarrassed principal. Then, he stood up and left.
Hu Renyuan looked at the departing figure and suppressed the thought that was about to arise in his mind. He had originally wanted to invite this person to Peking University to give a speech, but now it seemed that he should forget about it.
Otherwise, he was afraid that the old man would not be able to take it.
However, Hu Renyuan stopped.
Gu Hongming had no intention of stopping.
Gu Hongming was a pure and direct person.
He was so pure that he only cared about his own opinions and never treated others.
Therefore, when he discovered the problem, he published it in the newspaper almost on the same day.
"The ancient writings of Jin have their own merits, but their vulgar language cannot be compared to the elegant hall. They should not have written books and established theories. Looking at their works, it can be seen that they have literary accomplishments, so why are they so vulgar?”
The article wasn't long. The simple meaning was that Jiang Chen's book was too vernacular and it was an insult to the culture.
As the old man published his article, all kinds of accusations appeared in the newspapers.
In the trajectory of history.
Even when Mr. Zhong Fu started the New Culture Movement, it caused an unimaginable backlash, let alone Jiang Chen.
In just a few days.
The rise of a big country went from being popular throughout the country to being criticized by thousands of people.
One by one, the Chinese scholars jumped out and began to criticize his article for being vulgar.
Among these people, some of them were like Mr. Gu, who was dedicated to the idea, but some of them had other thoughts.
However, no matter what he was thinking.
At this moment, the fishing wheel could be said to have been instantly enlightened.
And in this kind of light.
Mr. Zhong Fu posted immediately.
He issued a call to promote science and democratism, and to overthrow the Kong family shop. The liberation of the mind brought about the liberation of the literary style. The awakening of the masses set off a wave of democratism.
At this moment, Mr. Zhong Fu started his operation ahead of time.
His reaction undoubtedly diverted the battle from Jiang Chen.
In fact, Mr. Zhong Fu never thought of letting Jiang Chen take the blame.
That was just the beginning.
Now, all the firepower was completely poured on Mr. Zhong Fu.
However, Mr. Zhong Fu was not afraid at all and began to argue.
Speeches were given one after another, and newspapers were published one after another.
At the same time, a new article was being published.
Such a result undoubtedly made Old Master Gu even angrier. If he only disliked the vernacular of the rise of the Jin Empire, then Mr. Zhong Fu's remarks made him extremely disgusted.
Therefore, he spoke again.
" Chen Zhongfu is boasting shamelessly. In the name of promoting the new culture and burying the old culture, he blamed the sufferings of the Chinese people in modern times on the old Confucianism of the Confucius family. Let me ask you, what crime does Confucius from two thousand years ago have against the people of today?”
" Confucius 'teaching method is like the mathematicians' addition, multiplication, and division. Two thousand years ago, three times three is nine, and it is the same now. Three times three is not eight. It is unreasonable for one to blame the inventor when one is not good at solving problems. If this is considered a new culture, it is simply nonsense.”
"Throughout the world, which country's ruling spirit is not based on their own culture and ideas nurtured by the country?”
Gu Hongming's speech was undoubtedly sonorous and powerful. It was also magnificent. With thousands of years of cultural heritage, coupled with his knowledge of both Chinese and Western, it caused the old man to suppress everyone as soon as he entered.
This included the famous writers of the later generations.
Of course, suppression didn't mean that these top-notch literary giants had no room for retaliation.
They were still fighting against each other.
In an instant, the entire Chinese territory was flooded with newspapers and magazines. Their sales volume reached new heights again and again. One by one, they began to stand out in the new and old culture.
This was a destined war.
This was also a war without smoke.
History might have told the result.
However, in this era, there might be different sparks.
.......
Tomorrow is the last day of the public. A new chapter is about to begin.）
