Zheng Dekun is a famous archeologist in the 20th century,Long -term teaching at Cambridge University and Chinese University of Hong Kong,The international academic community is known for prehistoric archeology research。but but,Zheng Dekun was famous for studying the "Shan Hai Jing" in the academic community in his early years。The first academic paper published in the History of History in 1932 is "Shan Hai Jing and its myth",Become a classic in this field。Knowledge of the historian and folk schooling circles,Zheng Dekun has written a book "Shan Haijing Research" after,Unfortunately destroyed by the fire and failed to publish。

Zheng Dekun's "Zheng Dekun History Theoretical Collection" published in 1981,I have the following review of my early academic research experience: "In the early 1930s,The author starts to participate in academic research at Yanjing University。Erry of Mountain in the front and back、Gu Jiegang、Rong Geng、Hong Yilian、The guidance and encouragement of the teacher of Zhang Xingzhang,Research on several important public places books in ancient times。The first topic is to read the "Shan Hai Jing",Edition of this ancient book in Note for this ancient book,For overall review。Two cold and summer in the desk,One manuscript of "Shan Hai Jing Research",More than 30 million words。At the beginning of the founding of Shanghai Shenzhou Guoguang Society,The host came to Peiping for a manuscript,Introduction to the Gu teacher,Give him the original manuscript back to Shanghai to publish。Unwilling to discharge the school half,That is, the Japanese warlords mobilize military aggression against my country,Occupy Northeast in 1931,Attack Shanghai the following year,Boom in Zhabei,Destroyer in Guoguang Society in Shenzhou,The draft of "Shan Haijing Research" accompanied the printing factory to become a victim of the Anti -Japanese War。I only leave "Shan Hai Jing and its myth" and "Shan Hai Jing and Zou Yan".。The former was published in the History Year (Peiping),The latter why Mr. Guanzhou "Shan Hai Jing's scientific criticism and the author of the author" after the book,"Yanjing Journal" (Beiping),Fortunately to save。”

Because this memory comes from Zheng Dekun himself,Therefore。For example, Mrs. Zheng Dekun Huang Wenzong used this statement in the "Election Election Bet365 lotto review of the Ancient History of Zheng Dekun" published in 2007,The Chinese University of Hong Kong, Professor Deng Cong of the Chinese University of Hong Kong in 2017, "Ji Gu Heng Jin -Professor Zheng Dekun's Birthday Commemorative", changed the aforementioned "self -preface" of Zheng Dekun to "Seventy Self -Readlining".。The academic community is when mentioning this problem,Also follows the "Destroy of War Destruction"。

Actually,Zheng Dekun's theory of this theory,Do not have a twists and turns,and involved the academic communication between Gu Jiegang and Zheng Dekun。Recent,The author is fortunate to have discovered Zheng Dekun's half -book manuscript on the study of "Shan Hai Jing" at the "Yanjing University Graduation thesis Database" at Peking University Library。Through the verification of the party’s diary and letter,Try to restore this academic past。

1926,Zheng Dekun goes north to enter Yanjing University,At the beginning, study medicine department,Then transfer to the Chinese Department of Literature。In college era,Zheng Dekun has shown a very deep academic foundation,Get the appreciation of the professors of the Chinese Department of Literature。January 24, 1929,At that time, Mr. Rong Geng, a professor of the Department of Literature of Yan Da, wrote the "Reading Student Test Paper,Take Zheng Dekun as a good,Yu Changchang "(" Rong Gengbei Diary ",p. 166)。Huang Wenzong once recalled,The relationship between the Bingxin and Zheng Dekun of the teacher at the Chinese Department of Yanjing University is also very close,Even recognizing him as a righteous son。(This incident inform Professor Deng Cong inform,Thank you for。Another,Bingxin and Zheng Dekun as a fellow in Fujian)

"Yan University Journal" published on June 20, 1930 (Volume 2, No. 38) display,Zheng Dekun graduated with a bachelor's degree。According to the half manuscript of the database of the graduation thesis database of Yanjing University,The title of its thesis is "Shan Hai Jing"。The full text is divided into seven edits,Scriptures、Scripture index; Explanation、Figure; collation、Training; Geographical Note、Divine Note; Scripture、Review、Test; Geographical Research、Studies in History、Research on Myth、Study on creatures、Research on Medicine; Pen Record、Book Record。This paper is now in the Library of Peking University,Only the first four edits,But it is 721 pages,From the directory, the existing thesis space is only half of the manuscript。The original rolling head bet365 best casino games language before the text、Xu Di Mountain Preface、Xu Di Mountain Preface、The author is also missing。

As Luo Zhitian said in a paper,"Shan Hai Jing" under the concept of new and old history in modern times has experienced floating and sinking from "questioning" to "respected"。Suspicious ancient thoughts in the Chinese historian community in the 1920s,A lot of questions about ancient Chinese myths and legends represented by "Shan Hai Jing"。Zheng Dekun's research on the "Shan Hai Jing" is influenced by this trend of ideas。Limited by knowledge,The author is unable to judge the academic value of the existing half of the manuscript,Especially many of them are gathered in all generations and even research papers。but but,I am afraid that it can still draw beneficial ingredients in the history of the history and even the folklore academic community。

Zheng Dekun's topic should be closely related to Xu Di Shan。From Zheng Dekun's memories,I speculate that Xu Dishan is likely to be Zheng Dekun's undergraduate thesis instructor。Xu Di Shan is famous for its novels and sketches,At the same time, it is also the research of Taoism history.,Familiar with the ancient Chinese classics full of mythical characters in the Mountains and Seas Classics,At that time, he was teaching in the Department of Chinese Department of Chinese Culture。Of course,Due to insufficient existing materials,The relationship between Xu Dishan and Zheng Dekun is just speculation。And Gu Jiegang's influence on Zheng Dekun's academic career is more profound。

Gu Jiegang served as the director of the Department of History at Sun Yat -sen University in 1927,It has done a considerable in -depth study of the Shan Hai Jing。According to Wang Xuedian's book "Gu Jiegang and his disciples",Historian He Dingsheng is associated with Gu Jiegang because of the problem of "Shan Hai Jing" research。April 1928,Yanjing University Founding Institute of Sinology,Mr. Chen Yuan as the director。Under the introduction of Rong Geng and Guo Shaoyu,Yan Da opened a strong condition to extend Gu Jiegang。Autumn 1929,Gu Jiegang goes north to Yanjing University,Researcher and professor at the Department of History。After Gu Jiegang's as Yan University,It has a deep study in "Shan Hai Jing",Make Zheng Dekun ask him to be possible,Gu Jiegang's diary and letter recorded the academic exchanges between the two。

"Gu Jiegang Diary" was the earliest record about Zheng Dekun as December 20, 1929,Only the four words "Zheng Dekunlai"。At this time, Gu Jiegang coached Yan Yan Yan Yan was no more than three months,Zheng Dekun has Bet365 app download begun to go to the door to ask Gu Jiegang for advice。speculation at time,At this time Zheng Dekun is writing a graduation thesis。In Gu Jiegang's year -end review of 1929,He wrote down Zheng Dekun's bedroom number "No. 225 on the Third Floor",indicates that the two parties are already familiar with。Since then,Zheng Dekun goes to Gu Jiegang's house every few days,Although Gu Jiegang is briefly recorded with "Zheng Dekunlai"。but,The research on the "Shan Hai Jing" is obviously the topic of both sides。In the diary on February 14, 1930,Gu Jiegang clearly recorded "Zheng Dekunlai,On the "Shan Hai Jing" "。

The papers completed by Zheng Dekun are very satisfied with Gu Jiegang。June 1930,The seventh issue of the "Yanjing Journal" edited by Gu Jiegang published the article "Shan Hai Jing" in scientific criticism and the era of the author "。This paper is attached to the essay of Zheng Dekun's "After the Book" essay to evaluate He Wen。At this time,Zheng Dekun has not responded,And Gu Jiegang allowed him to comment on professional papers,From this we can see Gu Jiegang's affirmation of his academic ability。Diary in December 31, 1932,Gu Jiegang lists a list of scholars in various fields of historiography,Only Zheng Dekun is one of the "Shan Hai Jing",Faintly regarded Zheng Dekun's meaning to study the experts of "Shan Hai Jing"。And Gu Jiegang's recognition of Zheng Dekun is more reflected in the planning and publishing his thesis。

January 16, 1930,Gu Jiegang wrote down "the condition and ancient book regulars of the establishment of the Guoguang Society of Shenzhou、Ancient Books Booking Cong Shu two eyes "。The leader Bet365 lotto review of the Ancient History Movement,At this time, Gu Jiegang's status in the domestic academic community has made him a goal for publishing houses。May 6, 1930,Zheng Dekun and Wang Lixi visited Gu Jiegang,Gu Jiegang specifically wrote down "Li Xilai,Talk about everything "。This should include negotiating the publication plan mentioned above,In the next few days,Wang Lixi frequently appeared in Gu Jiegang's diary。until May 9,Wang Lixi officially signed a contract。May 13,Gu Jiegang wrote a publishing book ordered by Shenzhou Guoguang Society in the diary,It is expected to publish Gu Jiegang's "Historical Records", "New Study Pseudo -Scriptures", "Historical Records", "Confucius Family Language"、Liming Ming's "Shangshu Ancient Culture" and "Biography of Mu Tianzi"、Zheng Dekun's "Shan Hai Jing"、Li Jingchi's "Book of Changes" and "Yi Chuan"、Xu Wenshan’s "Note of Bet365 lotto review History", etc.。Li、Zheng、Lee、Xu Si people are Gu Jiegang students,Obviously this publishing plan is based on Gu Jiegang's personal work,Supplemented by their students at Sun Yat -sen University and Yanjing University。These books are all works of ancient Chinese classics,Also fits the traditional publishing tradition of the country to carry forward the nationality of Shenzhou Guoguang。June 16,Shenzhou Guoguang sent someone to give some money to Gu Jiegang。July 11,Zheng Dekun gave the manuscript of "Shan Hai Jing" to Gu Jiegang to see it。

Zheng Dekun graduated from Yanjing University in June 1930,Then enter the Yanjing University Research Institute for further studies,Master of Literature in June 1931。Zheng Dekun himself unknown to this section of study experience,I speculate based on existing materials,Zheng Dekun's master's dissertation is likely to be based on the undergraduate papers "Shan Hai Jing",Further sublimation of this study。The "Yanjing University Research Institute Association Journal" published in 1939 shows that Zheng Dekun's master's graduation thesis title is "Shan Hai Jing Research",Compared with the topic of existing undergraduate papers,Just study two words。

The famous folklore scholar Zhong Jingwen, on September 7, 1930, entitled "Regarding the Research on Shan Haijing" -s a letter to answer Mr. Zheng Dekun ",Later, publicly published in the "Hangzhou Republic of China Daily" deputy journal。This letter originated from two articles published by Zhong Jingwen in the same year,"" What Book of Shan Hai Jing "is a book" Discussion on the Study of the Shan Hai Jing "myth",The latter is written to the letter from the editor -in -chief of the Folklore Magazine Rong Zhaozu,The letter mentioned that I decided to write a work of studying the "Shan Hai Jing"。Zheng Dekun obviously saw Zhong Jingwen's article,Therefore, I wrote a letter to Zhong Jingwen hopes to use the content of his manuscript "Summary to Report",Put it in the book you will be published soon。Zhong Jingwen bluntly stated in the reply to the estimated work is still brewing,Can't provide your main point to Zheng Dekun,Can only list the outline of the book。At the end of the letter,Zhong Jingwen wrote: "When can you be published?,If you get a wonderful theory,Fortunately! "

Comprehensive Zhong Jingwen's letter and aforementioned material,I have the following speculation。1. After completing the undergraduate papers and signing a publishing contract with Shenzhou Guoguang Society,Still constantly improving the bet365 Play online games manuscript,At this time, he is studying for a master's degree at the Yanda Research Institute。2. Although "Shan Haijing Research" is Zhong Jingwen who drafted his own manuscript name,But he publicly published the title of the letter in the newspaper and "Respect",All implies that Zhong Jingwen is likely to know that Zheng Dekun's book name is the same as himself。Of course,What's more convincing is the title of Zheng Dekun's master's degree in the "Yanjing University Research Institute of the Academy of Research Institute"。3. Zheng Dekun's review in 1981 can also prove the above inference from the side。The work of its undergraduate is to collect and collect the "Shan Hai Jing" in the past,Do the overall discussion。and then completed the manuscript of "Shan Hai Jing Research" after the "two cold and summer" after a year of freshman year and a graduate student for one year。

Zheng Dekun has graduated from the Yanda Research Institute in 1931,Just stay in Harvard Yanjing Academy as a "graduate student",Assist Hong Ye and Gu Jiegang to engage in "Water Sutra Note" for finishing work。1933 summer vacation,Zheng Dekun left Yanjing University and returned to his hometown of Xiamen University to teach。As for his "Research on Shan Haijing", the manuscript,It should be handed over to Shenzhou Guoguang Society after graduating from a master's degree。1932,"One · Twenty -Eight Incident" outbreak,Japanese army attack Shanghai,Shenzhou Guoguang was attacked by Japanese artillery fire,There is a large loss。but but,Zheng Dekun's manuscript has not been destroyed by this artillery。Gu Jiegang made it clear to his wife Yin Lingan on May 28, 1932 and June 3, 1932,He went to Shanghai in early June of this year to discuss with Wang Lixi for Zheng Dekun's manuscript。Wang Lixi promises that Shenzhou Guoguang will "from the speed mark"。But,The promise of Wang Lixi has fallen out,The manuscript has not been published as scheduled。July 28, 1933,Gu Jiegang wrote to Zheng Dekun's letter "Shenzhou Guoguang Society。Go to Shanghai next month,When contacting "。At this time,Zheng Dekun has already went south to Xiamen,Therefore, Gu Jiegang told him that he would use the opportunity to go to Shanghai to negotiate the manuscript again。After all,If you count from June 1931,The manuscript has been given to the publishing house for more than a year。but,Gu Jiegang's contact is not smooth this time。He inform him in a letter to Zheng Dekun on December 24 of the same year,Shenzhou Guoguang Society "has too much Bet365 lotto review lettering,At least one and a year and a year must be published "。

but but,Zheng Dekun did not wait for the publishing of the manuscript。The influence of the later period of Shenzhou Guoguang Society and the impact of personnel change far exceeds Gu Jiegang's estimation。September 9, 1936,Gu Jiegang explained in detail in Zheng Dekun's letter to the excuse of the publisher's refusal to print。Since then,Gu Jiegang's diary and letter no record of the manuscript of Zheng Dekun's "Shan Hai Jing" manuscript。

Late War of War,Gu Jiegang and Zheng Dekun reunion in Chengdu,Most of them have exchanges。1951,Zheng Dekun teach at Cambridge University,until retirement in 1974, transfer to the Chinese University of Hong Kong。1981,People in Hong Kong learned that Gu Jiegang's soul returned to Daoshan,Write down "Suddenly the death of Mr. Gu in Beijing,Eighty -seven in the year,bad news coming,Unbearable Sadness "。

After the first draft of this article is completed,Professor Deng Cong, a disciple of Zheng Dekun,Professor Deng Military,The descendants of the Zheng family are actively planning and publishing this manuscript。
