In other words, according to the standards of marriage and love in today's society, many literati in the Republic of China were actually "love rat". Most of them have been married more than twice, and they "abandoned" their wives. It is also common to go to the court three times and four times to marry new people. However, some literati are frequent visitors to Liuxiang fireworks, leading a small life of feasting.
Mr Cai Yuanpei, the president of Peking University, who is known as "a world-class scholar and model", has been married three times. Of course, Cai Yuanpei married a new wife after his ex-wife died.
Liang Qichao, the leader of the Qing reformists, had two marriages, which seemed to be few. However, Liang Qichao married his second wife, Wang Guiquan, and his first wife, Li Huixian, is still alive, which means that Liang Qichao is well-off and enjoys family happiness. However, Li Huixian and Wang Guiquan have a good relationship. They educate their children carefully. So all Liang Qichao's children have a good relationship with their two mothers, one is called "Mom" and the other is called "Mom".
Compared with Liang Qichao, Mr. Kang Youwei, another leader of the reformists, has a "scum".
Kang Youwei advocates "monogamy, one family in the world", women's liberation and the establishment of a modern family system, but he has many wives and concubines and beautiful women like clouds. According to research, Kang Youwei officially married six wives and concubines in his life, and once lived in his home in Shanghai: the first lady, the second aunt Liang Suijue, the third aunt He, the fourth aunt Gang, the fifth aunt Liao Dinggu and the sixth aunt.
19 19 Kang Youwei was 6 1 year old when he married his sixth aunt, Zhang Guang, and Zhang Guangcai was1year old. Kang Youwei held a grand wedding in Shanghai, and all his relatives and friends came to join him, but his wife, concubines and children were not present, and collectively expressed their boycott.
Strictly speaking, Kang Youwei and Liang Qichao were both from the late Qing Dynasty, living a life of three wives and four concubines. It seems understandable that fashionable literati studying in Britain and America are not "scum".
"I walked quietly, just as I came gently; I waved my hand gently and bid farewell to the clouds in the western paradise ... "love rat was represented by the poet Xu Zhimo, who wrote the famous Farewell to Cambridge.
/kloc-At the age of 0/8, Xu Zhimo married Zhang Youyi, the sister of the famous Zhang Junmai, but both before and after marriage disliked Zhang Youyi, thinking that she was very rustic, and married her only to follow her parents' wishes and have grandchildren.
192 1 year, when Xu Zhimo met Lin, he decisively kicked off Zhang Youyi and enthusiastically pursued Lin. However, Lin finally married Liang Sicheng, the eldest son of Liang Qichao.
When Xu Zhimo pursued Lin, he flirted with his friend's wife Lu Xiaoman. As the saying goes, "a friend's wife can't play", Xu Zhimo not only played, but also took her into his arms. Xu Zhimo also paid a huge price for this "foreign style" love. Lu Xiaoman is used to spending money lavishly, and still pursues a luxurious life after marriage. In order to satisfy his desire for life, Xu Zhimo desperately works part-time to make money.
Speaking of "love rat" in the Republic of China, Hu Lancheng had to write about it.
Hu Lancheng is a brilliant writer. She got married at the age of 19, married Tang Yufeng, and had an affair with a woman named Yashan during the marriage. After the death of Tang Yufeng, Hu Lancheng married Quan Huiwen again. It was in this marriage that Hu Lancheng met Zhang Ailing and lived with her.
However, Zhang Ailing is just one of many "good sisters" in Hu Lancheng. When Hu Lancheng flirted with Zhang Ailing, she became close friends with Zhou Xunde, a nurse in Hanyang Hospital, and menstruation Fan Xiumei, a classmate's father, and married the latter privately in Lishui, Zhejiang.
Zhang Ailing put up with all this and sent money to Hu Lancheng. Zhang Ailing's silent efforts at all costs finally paid off in 1944. This year, Hu Lancheng married Zhang Ailing and made a promise that "the years will be quiet and the world will be stable". Three years later, Hu Lancheng's promise vanished. 1947, Hu Lancheng divorced Zhang Ailing.
In addition to "changing women is faster than changing clothes", many literati in the Republic of China go in and out of romantic places, just like routine.
When Kang Youwei was down and out in Shanghai, he often recruited prostitutes and owed a lot of romantic debts. He is going to leave Shanghai quietly and walk away. After the creditor knew it, he ran to the ship of China Merchants to ask him for debts. Kang Youwei used his quick wits to hide in the lifeboat at the top of the ship and escaped.
At that time, Li Hongzhang's assistant Ma was ordered to audit the accounts of China Merchants, witnessed this "great event" with his own eyes, and recorded it in the book Sixty Years of Shanghai.
Gu Hongming, a geek in the late Qing Dynasty, also had this elegance. He has a famous saying, "As a celebrity, you have to go whoring and concubine", which is specious. When Gu Hongming was a professor at Peking University, President Cai Yuanpei set up a "dedication society" to encourage professors to lead an honest and clean life. The professors all signed it, but only Gu Hongming refused. Cai Yuanpei laughed it off.
1885, Gu Hongming was appointed as a foreign copywriter by Zhang Zhidong, Governor of Huguang. On one occasion, he and a group of friends went to the brothel to make love, and accidentally met a Japanese woman, Masako Yoshida, who had fallen here, and redeemed her and "accepted" her as a concubine.
Yu Dafu, who wrote Autumn in the Old Capital, was a degenerate when he was young. 19 13 years, 17-year-old Yu Dafu also described in detail his experience as a prostitute in Japan: "I live alone in the countryside blocked by thick snow and feel that I can't stand it anymore. On the afternoon when the snowflakes were still flying, I set foot on the bus from Donghai Road to Tokyo ... "
In his early years in Shanghai, Hu Shi was very attractive, often playing cards, drinking and visiting the kiln. 19 14 In June, Hu Shi suddenly woke up and began to advocate the prohibition of whoring, respecting and sympathizing with fallen women. He thought that playing with women was a "great evil": "Today's urgent task lies in a new morality. We should choose the cause of the fall of well-known women as the most pitiful thing in the world, and let everyone know that selling good women as prostitutes is a great sin of mankind and that it is a human being.
That makes sense, but how did he do it himself?
19 17 years, Hu Shi was hired as Professor Peking University. Sometimes, when he went to Jinan, Wuchang and other places, he still went to Liu Hua Lane to relive his old dreams.
Why are these literati of the Republic of China so "scum"? In the final analysis, it is still the influence of the times.
At the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China, China was at the intersection of old and new cultures. These literati of the Republic of China were trained by the old culture and influenced by the new culture, so they formed a contradiction in their views on marriage.
On the one hand, they should inherit the family business and reproduce for the family; On the other hand, they want to pursue love and find a like-minded relationship. They want to break the shackles of old ideas and live according to their own ideas, so there are all kinds of "dross" that we can't imagine now.
