Celebrity Story: Ordinary and Outstanding Ji Xianlin

For contemporary people, the name Ji Xianlin is too familiar. From local newspapers and central media to general reading materials and academic magazines, reports, introductions and studies about him abound. His image appeared on the screen and his academic achievements were published in newspapers and periodicals. People say that he is one of the most outstanding cultural figures in China. ...

People who have frequent contact with Ji Xianlin will find that he has a peculiar attraction. He has both academic appeal and personality appeal.

Hu Shi said to Li Yiyuan, the "Academia Sinica" in Taiwan Province Province: "Learning should be like Ji Xianlin of Peking University."

Tsung i Jao, a famous Hong Kong scholar, said, "Ji Xianlin is an honest and upright elder that people are willing to get close to. He writes beautifully and shines brightly. He has a leisurely Qilu style, covering the weather. He has never been conceited or dazzled. He is down-to-earth, and when he begins to learn, he must' exhaust his enthusiasm and fish'. " All kinds of important academic work under the leadership of Ji Lao, comprehensive and meticulous, shines brilliantly, which is a concrete embodiment of' heavy burden' and has made indelible contributions to the foundation-laying project of China's academics. "

Mr. Zhang Zhongxing, a master of Chinese studies who just died, once said, "Mr. Ji Xianlin is a well-known scholar at home and abroad. As we all know, this' name' is really a real guest. Unlike some people, giving up the right path is really different from those who climb the ladder. But this "truth", I don't want to say, also can't say. Because he knows too much, and he is both fine and deep, I stand outside the wall and naturally can't see the beauty of the ancestral temple and the wealth of hundreds of officials. " He has three difficulties: one is knowledgeable, the other is simple and honest, and the third is affectionate. Of these three difficulties, I think the most difficult is the ticket thickness ... it is difficult to find a second place like him. "

Yuan Xingpei, director of the Central Museum of Literature and History and president of the Peking University Institute of Chinese Studies, said: "With him, I can be calm and calm, and all unnecessary carving is redundant." He is "a model that condenses the virtue of simplicity and shows the power of simplicity", and his "simplicity is full of luxury and innocence, which is even more respectable like the pottery poems praised by Yuan Haowen".

Xie Mian, a famous scholar, said, "He is so ordinary that he can't be distinguished from the people around him. He is like the most common drop of water, silently melting in the torrent of the river; He is like the most common soil, and he has added extremely thick yellow mud. " "Greatness needs no decoration or description. Greatness can only be itself. " "He is extremely simple, pure to spotless nature", "I feel the shock of that noble personality from his simplicity, insipid and ordinary".

Han, a British Chinese female writer, said: "What I found in him is not only erudition, but also wisdom. Not only wise, but also very humble and humorous. His extensive knowledge left a deep impression on people ... ""He is a man with complete intellectual character, determined to make the best academic achievements ","His dignified personality, his indifference to material interests, his love for books, his patience and all his sincerity. For me, he will always be a symbol of integrity. "

Liang Piyun wrote such a banner for Ji Xianlin: "Make a heart for heaven and earth, plead for the people, carry forward the past and forge ahead, learn from others' strengths, and create a peaceful future for all generations." The inscribed couplet is: "Life is boundless, the sun and the moon are bright."

On August 6th, 20xx, china confucius foundation held the unveiling ceremony of Ji Xianlin College in Beijing. Both Professor Tang and Professor Tang delivered warm speeches, and they highly praised Ji Xianlin's great contribution to the humanities in China. Professor Hao Bin pointed out with deep affection that Ji Xianlin has become the treasure of Peking University. The famous poet Cang Kejia sang affectionately:

With white hair and roots recording your longevity, it indicates that your achievements have been praised by many people. Your ability is the same as that of other schools. How many can catch up with you?

Ji Xianlin himself said: "I dare not pretend to be a celebrity, and I have no masterpiece." "The style I pursue is: simple and elegant, natural in color, simple in appearance, beautiful in color and connotation, scattered in form, dismal in management, rhythmic and rhythmic, like music, going back and forth, not expressing my feelings, and not arrogant." Ji Xianlin has always been modest and cautious about his lifelong learning, and his self-evaluation is very low-key. He said more than once: "Don't mention the' master of Chinese studies'. The real masters are Wang Guowei, Chen Yinque and Wu Mi. What am I? I was born late, and I can't see the back of the masters. I'm just a sage, a mixed army. "

People who come into contact with Ji Xianlin for the first time often have the impression that he looks like a farmer from the tunic suit he wears. Ji Xianlin himself has said many times that he is the son of a farmer and a "bumpkin".

Two kinds of impressions combine to form a "mystery"-like Ji Xianlin.

What makes a farmer's son achieve fruitful academic achievements and become a famous outstanding master of Chinese studies? What power makes a scholar who has studied in Germany for ten years keep a simple peasant atmosphere all his life without being contaminated with foreign flavor? Some people say that time has shaped Ji Xianlin into a "veteran" of Peking University, a "walking dictionary" of Peking University, and the only liberal arts champion left in colleges and universities. But his success is not the result of simple accumulation of time, but the result of his lifelong efforts and his patriotic feelings. In his book Ten Years in Germany, he wrote affectionately: "I have two mothers in my life: one is the mother who gave birth to me; One is my great motherland. I have the same high respect and sincere love for these two mothers. " Patriotism makes him worry about family affairs, school affairs and state affairs, and patriotism makes his middle school, eastern learning and western learning interlinked. Becoming a famous scholar is inspired by this feeling, and so is keeping the farmer's breath all his life.

To solve Ji Xianlin's "mystery", for the humble, you can see your future success from Ji Xianlin; For successful people, we can find our own shortcomings from Ji Xianlin. To anyone, Ji Xianlin is amazing. Reading Ji Xianlin will give people a lot.

Ji Xianlin said that his life was "the ordinary experience of an ordinary person without great agitation and shock". He thinks that his life, including his academic experience, is contemptible, and perhaps some more valuable views are almost absurd. We look at Ji Xianlin's experience from different angles. His rich life, with legend in plain and humor in seriousness, is an "extraordinary experience" of an "extraordinary person". His life spans three different historical periods, namely, the Qing Dynasty, the Republic of China, the people of China and People's Republic of China (PRC), which is just a microcosm of the 20th century. It shows us that a farmer's son is destined to be a farmer, but with the help of society, he has worked hard with himself all the time and has grown into a famous academic master at home and abroad. After his success, Ji Xianlin did not seek fame and fortune, but served the motherland and people with what he had learned. He paid more attention to spirit than material all his life, which has rich connotations of typical oriental culture.

The course of Ji Xianlin gives us an inspiration: the son of an ordinary farmer can become a pillar of the country through unremitting efforts. Ji Xianlin condensed his most important experience into two words, namely "diligence". He often tells his students a joke told by Lu Xun: a quack shouted in the market and peddled a prescription for treating bedbugs. Someone paid for a roll of this cheat paper, wrapped tightly in layers of paper. When I opened it, there were only two words written inside-"Be diligent". Do you think it's wrong? No, absolutely right, but if you say it, you just don't say it. It is also a well-known truth that learning depends on diligence. As we all know, inspiration can't be said to exist, but it doesn't fall from the sky, but comes from diligence. Ji Xianlin's journey has proved such a truth everywhere.

Ji Xianlin's journey also gave people another revelation: a famous person can only go down in history if he diligently does his duty for the nation, society and country without asking for anything in return; Eyes only on money, striving for fame and fortune, even if you have money, you can only be an empty shell. Therefore, one should take the transcendence of the spiritual world as the goal of his life.

Ji Xianlin's journey will really make people discover that it has condensed a hundred years of life and reappeared the leading style. ;
