蝉蜕：晚清大变局中的经学家
Hu Xiaoyuan Chen Xiaoping
"Those books are too old, and I am too old, and are of no use to this world." "These books are all newly written by you. How can they be too old and useless?" "Do you think these books can save the Beiyang Navy? Do you think these books can save the country? Do you think these books can save China?" This book uses a deep and elegant narrative technique to portray the generation of intellectuals headed by Sun Yirang, the master of Pu Xue in the late Qing Dynasty. Situated in a "big change that has not happened in three thousand years", they encountered unprecedented complex situations and differentiated outcomes, and the ambivalence and spiritual crisis when they chose to rely on or break away from traditional modes of thinking and behavior. It also describes their different ways of spiritual breakthrough: some are clinging to the old and falling into depression, some are lingering and losing ground, and some are struggling to find ways to make a new start. This is the meaning of the book's title "Cicada Slough". The whole book is like a long ink epic scroll that unfolds gradually, showing an era of wind and rain, turbulence in Kyushu, and the light of day is still far away. The Opium War, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, the Sino-Japanese War of Sino-Japanese War, the Gengzi Revolution, the Hundred Days Reform... Major historical events flashed through the screen one by one; Lan Guiren, Zeng Guofan, Li Hongzhang, Zhang Zhidong, Yu Quyuan, Sun Yirang, Weng Tonghe, Huang Shaoji, Rong Hong, Sheng Xuanhuai, Kang Youwei, Zhang Jian, politicians, Confucian scholars, old-school scholars, new-wave scribes, and revolutionaries gradually appeared in the clamor, while the inheritance line of intellectual history was the faint shadow of distant mountains in the background.
