1926 In the spring, Ye Gongchao participated in the establishment of Xinyue Bookstore, and in the same year, he became the director and librarian of the Foreign Languages Department of Shanghai Jinan University. 1March, 928, New Moon was published, edited by poet Xu Zhimo. Crescent Society is a club, not an organized group. Its members include Hu Shi, Liang Shiqiu, Ye Gongchao, Wen Yiduo, Pan Guangdan, Yu Shangyuan and others. These people were educated in Britain and America, but they didn't have a special liking for the capitalist literary policy of Soviet Russia, and they didn't like the pro-Soviet behavior of Shanghai left-wing writers. The publication of New Moon undertakes the mission of "confronting them". For example, the slogan of "health" and "dignity" put forward by the magazine is a backwash to the left-wing literary movement. Ye Gongchao's article in New Moon is not a debate, but a book review. These book reviews introduce important information of overseas new works and publishing circles to writers in simple words, so that readers can keep abreast of the current situation and trends of the world literary world. /kloc-in the summer of 0/928, Ye Gongchao edited and published Selected Modern British and American Prose for New Moon, and co-edited Selected Modern British and American Poetry with Wen Yiduo.

In the last three or four issues of New Moon, except for poems by a few writers, all other articles were written by Ye Gongchao under different pseudonyms. In the last six editions of the editorial work presided over by before the publication was closed, many new people were trained, such as Cao, Qian Zhongshu, Chang Feng, Sun Yutang,, Bian, Li Guangtian and so on.

Wen Xue was founded in May 1934 after the closure of Crescent Magazine and Crescent Bookstore. The publisher is Yu Shangyuan and the editor is Ye Gongchao. As the successors of New Moon, my colleagues include Wen Yiduo and Lin, members of New Moon, Zhu Mengshi (Zhu Guangqian), who has just returned to China to teach literary psychology at Peking University, and Ji Xianlin, Zhao, Liu Xiwei (Li Jianwu) and He Qifang. Among them, Qian Zhongshu published "On Step Songs" in the third issue of Academic Journal, which laid the foundation for his later writing "Tan Yi Lu". Due to the busy editing work, Ye Gongchao only published "From Impression to Evaluation" in this journal, which systematically reflected his literary criticism. For economic reasons, more importantly, because Ye Gongchao taught in Tsinghua for five years and it was his turn to drop out of school abroad for one year, Wen Xue was published in August of 1934 until the fourth issue was closed. In the late 1970s, Mei Xin, a poet and editor of Taiwan Province Province, reprinted Wen Xue magazine, and Wen Xue and I, an article written by Ye Gongchao, was published in the supplement of United Daily News in June 1977+ 10/6.

1in the autumn of 929, Ye Gongchao who went north again was not only a professor of the Foreign Languages Department of Tsinghua University, but also a lecturer of the Foreign Languages Department of Peking University. Before the start of the Anti-Japanese War, he lived in Peiping with Wu Mi, the core figure of Xue Heng School in Tsinghua campus. They are romantic and old-fashioned, but peaceful, unlike Wu Mi who died of old age with new literature writers in the 1920s and 1930s. For example, Ye Gongchao published "Humor of Zhimo" in Ta Kung Pao edited by Wu Mi on193165438+1October 30th, and put forward the unique view that Xu Zhimo's prose achievements are higher than poetry.

After the editing of Wen Xue was terminated, Ye Gongchao traveled to Europe, America, Africa and Asia in the summer of 1935. During this round-the-world trip, he relaxed and thought about problems. He wrote "Studying Abroad and Learning" and "Suggestions on Establishing Two Language and Literature Departments in Universities", which were published in the Independent Review edited by Hu Shi. Since the autumn of 1936, Ye Gongchao has been a full-time professor in the Foreign Languages Department of Peking University, ending the longest record of teaching in Tsinghua for six consecutive years in his 14-year education career.
