Introduce Gu Hongming? Who is Gu Hongming?

A very interesting person! More patriotic.

Gu Hongming, an upright Chinese.

Gu Hongming, whose name is Tang Sheng, whose name is Hongming, whose name is Licheng, calls himself a lazy person, a native of the east, west, north and south, and is also signed as Mr. Hanbin Reading Yi and Mr. Dong Yan, and his English name is Tomson. Gu Hongming is a complex and eccentric character, dressed in a robe and horse coat, with braids, and two servants by his side, waiting for him to drink tea, rinse his mouth, and smoke, and look like a feudal figure. But he was born in the British Concession in Nanyang, knowledgeable, erudite and troublesome, proficient in nine languages, including English, French, German, Latin, Greek, Malaysian, etc., with 13 doctorates on his head, known as "the strange master of the late Qing Dynasty", known as "China's first language genius".

It's hard to describe Gu Hongming in specific words, he is a retro literary maniac and definitely an upright Chinese.

The evaluation of Gu Hongming has always been a controversial topic, some people admire him very much, and their evaluation of him is also very high, but there are also some people who feel that he has many shortcomings and has some criticism of him.

First of all, he is outstanding, mainly in the following aspects:

First, he knows as many as nine languages, has strong language skills, and is eloquent. This is something that cannot be overlooked.

Second, he has a strong patriotic spirit and a sense of protecting nationalism and preserving oriental culture. He went abroad to learn many languages in order to spread the culture of his country to the world, so he translated the four books of China and promoted them to other countries.

Third, he did not follow the trend, had his own independent judgment ability, could insist on what he thought was correct, and had a very clear understanding of the current situation in China at that time.

Then there are his shortcomings, which are mainly manifested in several aspects of Yihong's repentance:

First, he was a royalist, without a radical spirit of change, and to some extent, he was not open-minded enough, with certain limitations and conservatism. For example, his fondness for women's little feet suggests that he disagrees with feminism.

Second, he has a stubborn personality, and he will stick to what he believes in, whether it is good or bad. For example, he resolutely refuses to cut and never remove braids.

In short, no matter how Gu Hongming is evaluated, we should understand one thing, that is, he has always been more outstanding than his shortcomings.

The above content refers to the encyclopedia - Gu Hongming calls jujubes.

He was proficient in 9 languages, including English, French, German, Latin, Greek, and Malaya, and obtained 13 doctorates. He is keen to promote the culture and spirit of the East to Westerners, and has had a significant impact, and Westerners once circulated a saying: When you go to China, you can not see the three major halls, and you must not look at Gu Hongming.

The significance and importance of his life's work lies in the communication between Chinese and Western cultures and the appeal to the cause of translation. In order to let Westerners understand the Chinese philosophy of Confucius and Mencius, spiritual morality, he was diligent in writing. Koo wrote prolifically, many of them in fluent English, with the aim of making Chinese culture known to Westerners and, through understanding, to respect Chinese culture.

Gu Hongming is proficient in English, German, French and other nearly ten languages, especially good at English writing, and was recommended by Sun Yat-sen and Lin Yutang as the first in China. The "spirit of the Chinese" expounded by Gu Hongming and his "Spring and Autumn Righteousness" of using China to save the West have undoubtedly written a unique and eye-catching stroke in the course of the Chinese spreading national culture to the outside world.
