Qing Zhenxuan
Henan Yanshi. He graduated from the Department of Chinese at , Lanzhou University in 1982 and has been teaching in the school. From 1983 to 1984, he studied Song and Yuan literature and ancient books in the Chinese Department of Sichuan University. Currently, he is a professor and doctoral supervisor of the School of Literature of Lanzhou University. He also serves as director of the Institute of Ancient Literature of Lanzhou University, executive director of the Mao Zedong Poetry Research Association of China, director of the Chinese Su Shi Research Society, vice chairman of the Gansu Chinese Culture Promotion Association, vice president of the Gansu Ancient Literature Research Association, executive director of the Gansu Tang Dynasty Literature Research Association, and researcher of the Center for Modernization of Chinese Civilization of Soochow University in Taiwan. He has been engaged in teaching and research on ancient literature, traditional culture and regional culture for a long time. He has published more than 70 academic papers in journals such as "Literary Heritage", "Journal of Nanjing University", " Journal of Lanzhou University ", "Journal of Shaanxi Normal University", and "Journal of Northwest University". He has published a number of monographs, editor-in-chief, and written works.
When introducing himself, Qing Zhenxuan told reporters that he was a "normal and vocal". He said: "I am from Luoyang, Henan Province. I studied at Lanzhou University undergrad. After graduation, I went to Sichuan University for nearly two years to study. I did not forget the language in my hometown at that time, and I had not learned Lanzhou dialect yet. Then I also learned 'Photographies in Chengdu dialect', so I am still in 'normal and vocals'." In my imagination, most of the people who do ancient literature research were old-fashioned people, but Qing Zhenxuan had a humorous side.
Qing Zhenxuan's love of literature comes from his love of reading. It is precisely because of reading that he was admitted to university and achieved what he has today. In his memory, both elementary and middle school were in a turbulent period, and there were very few books to read, but this also inspired his enthusiasm for reading. He tried every means to find various books to read, and he finished reading famous works such as " Dream of Red Mansions " in his teens. Qing Zhenxuan recalled: "I graduated from junior high school and was lucky to become a teacher. In the position of teacher, I worked for 6 years. During the 6 years, on the one hand, out of the teacher's responsibility, I had to constantly work hard to enrich myself; on the other hand, because of the convenience of the teacher's identity, I read a lot of books. At that time, I read many books such as "Lu Xun's Complete Works", and I could recite "Mao Zedong's Poems". It was because of reading that I had accumulated a rich foundation. After the college entrance examination was resumed, I had the opportunity to go to college."
Qing Zhenxuan got admitted to university as he wished. He humorously told reporters that he had another very "weird" thing when he was taking the college entrance examination, that was, his math score was very low at that time, but he had a deep accumulation in history, geography, politics, and literature, and did a good job in the exam, which led him to Lanzhou University. Moreover, he knew nothing about Lanzhou at that time, and his first choice to apply for Lanzhou University was entirely due to a exploratory mentality. Qing Zhenxuan said: "I didn't know Lanzhou at all before, but my first choice was Lanzhou University. I was very yearning for unknown places, so I chose the West and Lanzhou University. I remember that when I first arrived in Lanzhou it was autumn and I was walking on the campus in the evening. I missed my hometown very much at that time, but the learning atmosphere on Lanzhou campus was very good. In order to realize my ideals, I quickly integrated into the learning state. Now I think about this decision as a turning point in my life, and my choice was right."
From being admitted to Lanzhou to staying at school to teaching, Qing Zhenxuan worked at Lanzhou University for nearly 40 years. During these 40 years, he devoted himself to his studies and work. Even in the face of some foreign invitations, he resolutely stayed at Lanzhou University. This is certainly due to what he called "traditional concept", but more importantly, it is a grateful heart. Qing Zhenxuan told reporters: "When I entered Lanzhou University, I studied ancient literature, and the research direction of staying at school was also ancient literature. People who engage in ancient literature have relatively traditional ideas, so I decided to stay at Lanzhou University. Moreover, Lanzhou University chose to keep me at first, which was a responsibility for me. I am grateful to Lanzhou University and the teachers who taught me. Of course, Gansu's profound cultural history is also a reason why I chose to stay.In 1983, I went to Sichuan University to study. At that time, a teacher told us about "Dunhuang Literature". The profoundness of "Dunhuang Literature" was studied by scholars to reach such a height, which opened a window for my understanding of the West from a very high level. You should know that when we studied ancient Chinese history, Gansu made great contributions to the civilization process of the Chinese nation. The Zhou Dynasty moved east from Gansu, and the Qing Dynasty moved east after reaching a certain level in southern Gansu. When we studied the development of Chinese culture, we learned that the profound culture in the west has nourished the development of Chinese civilization. ”
In Qing Zhenxuan’s research field, Tang and Song literature is an important one. When talking about this research, he told reporters: “I actually often ask myself: Why do I like Tang and Song literature? When I graduated, I was facing a ten-year talent gap in society. Why did I choose the profession of teacher? And I have worked for forty years. In a classic sentence, ‘There is a generation of literature’. The Book of Songs , Chuci , Han and Wei Yuefu , Tang poetry, Song ci , Yuan song, Ming and Qing drama novels once led the way in different eras. Tang poetry, Song lyrics and Tang and Song prose are the peaks that are difficult to reach in the history of ancient literary development. The Tang style and Song rhyme have an attractive eternal charm. Meng Haoran's poem says: Human affairs have metabolism, and the flow of time has become ancient and modern. The country has left its predicament, and we will come again. The ancients left such rich spiritual wealth, and studying and savoring it was a kind of enjoyment. In the words of Su Shi , "It is the endless storage of creation." Through a thousand years, I talked to the philosophers of the Tang and Song dynasties, and there was endless joy. I am lucky. After graduating from university, I stayed at school to teach. For more than 30 years, I have been wandering around the mountains of books and learning, and I am leisurely not aware that old age is coming. ”
When talking about the impact of Chinese traditional culture by Western culture and the " Chinese studies hot " in recent years, Qing Zhenxuan told reporters: "Someone asked me before about the impact of Western culture on Chinese traditional culture. In fact, our party and our country have long had clear guidelines for this. That is, the ancients are used for the present and the foreign countries are used for the Chinese, and the excellent traditional cultures of China and abroad are critically inherited. Our focus must be that the Chinese in the 21st century will consciously and clearly learn and absorb excellent traditional culture, and consciously integrate cultural confidence with path confidence, political confidence, system confidence, and national confidence. When the window is open, you can't always stare at the fly in; if you bathe the child, you can't pour out the child together when you are dirty. The key is, at today's height, how do we view and absorb Chinese and foreign cultures? Therefore, today's cultural scholars are shouldering important historical missions. In the construction of the world cultural community, some problems will arise in the integration and collision of world culture. How to solve the problem? It is necessary to improve the cultural and educational quality of our whole people. Regarding the "Chinese learning craze", I am also watching some related programs. I think that when many people nowadays ignore this spiritual nourishment, this program has played a good role in the popularization of poetry. But does it strengthen memorization or understanding? In what direction does it guide? There are also different sounds. I just want to say that memorization is the basis of understanding, and memorization is only a means of understanding and research rather than an end, and the two cannot be reversed. We are pleased to see that the final winner still reflects his understanding of poetry. "
Although Qing Zhenxuan has made many achievements in ancient literature research, one of his main tasks is to teach and educate people, and he also attaches great importance to this profession. Qing Zhenxuan said: "Teachers are a noble profession, so I value this identity. Teachers are responsible for "preaching, teaching, and solving doubts". Mencius once said that one of the greatest joys in life is to gain talents from all over the world and educate them. Therefore, being a teacher and teaching and learning with students from one generation after another is a happy thing. I often tell my classmates that my view of happiness is "doing your favorite career is happiness, and doing a good job in your favorite career is a kind of enjoyment." I hope my students can experience the joy of learning and tasting as soon as possible during the learning process.Don’t regard how many courses you have learned this semester, how many papers you have to do, and treat the exam at the end of the semester as your own pressure. I hope they have faith and pursuits and make achievements in their studies. Also, be able to endure loneliness. ‘Love to the depth’ is a kind of enjoyment and pleasure, but when the depth of love, ‘the belt becomes wider and will never regret it’ and ‘the belt becomes wider’. In such a struggle, you may be very lonely. But 'love is lonely in the depths', that loneliness is a state, and loneliness is a kind of enjoyment. Look at the three realms of life, every stage is lonely. ‘Last night, the autumn wind withered the green trees, and I went up to the tall building alone, looking at the road to the end of the world’, ‘I will never regret the widening of my belt, and I will become haggard for her’, ‘ When I suddenly looked back at , the person was in the dim light’ These are not lively and noisy places, and I pursued a unique place. Only at a certain height and depth can you enjoy the unique interest of life. ” (Lanzhou Daily All-Media Reporter Kong Desheng)
