190 1 year, he went to Shanghai to associate with Cai Yuanpei and Zhang Yuanji. Because he is good at writing, familiar with official documents and likes to collect official newspapers, diplomatic news needs such literati, so Tsui Hark joined the newspaper. As an editor of diplomatic news. The members of Diplomatic News are Li Dong (Zhang Yuanji), Cai Yuanpei (writer), (editor) and Wen Zongrao (translator), all of whom are appointed by the founding shareholders. There is also a translator, an accountant, a proofreader and two handyman. Shareholders are: two shares, one for Cai Yuanpei, one for Du Yaquan, one for Wen Zongrao and one for Commercial Press. The number of shares of Zhao Congfan, Shen is unknown (according to the information provided by Mr. Wang). The signers on Zhang Yuanji's receipt are Zhao Congfan, Cai Yuanpei and Wen Zongrao; Wen Zongrao's stock list and receipts are signed by Zhao Congfan, Cai Yuanpei and Zhang Yuanji, and his annual budget is about 5,500 yuan (plus 50 yuan start-up expenses). It has been ten years since the publication of Diplomatic Daily in 19 10, and it has a certain influence in the society.
Later, together with Diplomatic News, he became a staff member of the Compilation Institute of the Commercial Press. Later, he became the editor of Oriental Magazine. Zhang, a well-known editor of Old Business, recalled: "Oriental Magazine was founded in 1904. It was originally a newspaper selective publication, collecting notes and papers from newspapers and magazines every month and publishing them in categories for people who care about current events. Public copying and memorials take the first place, followed by time theory, and only a few translations are published occasionally.
The editor's name before 1909 is Tsui Hark. Because editing this magazine is a scissors job, he can finish it in a few evenings in his spare time and there are not many readers. "So, later, Tsui Hark served as a miscellaneous minister in the business world, and he can be said to be a real sage. Although Zhang's words are a bit exaggerated, they are also true.
19 1 1 year, Du Yaquan took over as the editor-in-chief of Oriental Magazine and reformed the magazine, which has undergone great changes and development. Therefore, Tsui Hark took over the Miscellaneous Department. According to my colleague in the compilation institute at that time, "Xu served as the minister of miscellaneous editing department in the compilation institute." When I went in, he was trying his best to find out the money, and at the same time, under his leadership, he edited and published Shanghai Guide, Daily Instructions, Guide to Wake Up Cambodia, and Popular Letters. The main tools of this department are paste and scissors, and all kinds of materials are cut from newspapers, magazines and government bulletins. Or with the help of people from all over the country, copy it on loose-leaf paper "(quoted from Xie Juzeng's" Sidenotes of Ten Miles Outside the Palace "). The purpose is to provide relevant information.
According to an old business colleague, "Xu Zhongke is short and short-sighted. When reading and writing, he must wear glasses to touch the real thing (referring to books) before he can see it. But he's funny. In the late Qing Dynasty, women's football was strongly advocated, that is, their study was named' Tiansu Pavilion'. He likes to write lyrics and sing with Cheng Zida in Ningxiang. His works were seen in Novel Monthly. " "Xu treats people well, is amiable and cares about his colleagues. As usual, he prepares a' spring wine' at home every Spring Festival and invites people from his department to get together, which is unprecedented in other departments. "
Diligent writing
Not a day goes by when Tsui Hark doesn't write. Once his eyes were ill, he seemed depressed and even at a loss all day. Extreme myopia, reading and writing must wear glasses, contact with physical objects (that is, books) to see. Busy during the day, he used a small notebook to write down what he wanted to record in a summary way, and then sorted out his writing when he was free. Before going to bed every day, he will prepare a pencil and a notebook and put them on the bed. When he accidentally thinks of something, he gets up and writes it down, even if it affects his sleep. Although what he writes is not recorded by the day, it is often linked every ten days. Xia, an old friend, once said that he was a very diligent person, but unfortunately he didn't work in the military department of the former Qing Dynasty, otherwise, what he wrote would be a very precious military event. There is another sentence written by Tsui Hark himself: "Jun (Xia) doesn't taste the clouds, and Qing people remember less?" I want to learn this shame. "Seeing that he is busy making up stories all day, his wife He, who used to be a teacher in a patriotic girls' school, used to be a media for Cai Yuanpei and took a pen to record Liang Shuming's interview with eastern and western cultures. His concubines buried their grievances and said," Can't you really write it until you die? " Holding a pen all day is a true portrayal of Tsui Hark's works.
entertain guests
In Song Dynasty, when Chen Yu talked about Jiang Kui in Hidden Words, he left such a famous saying: "The white stone Taoist ginger looks like clothes, and its pen is enough to carry a hundred hoofs." No cone, no home, no diners for a meal. Calligraphy books, sweating. " Tsui Hark once quoted one of the words "no home without a cone, but no diners in a meal" to describe his family. Tsui Hark's parents and grandparents have a hospitable family style, especially Tsui Hark, who has no guests for dinner. Most of them were celebrities at that time, such as Zhang Yuanji, Cai Yuanpei, Kang Youwei, Hu Shi, Liang Qichao, Kuang Zhouyi, Pan Shicheng, Wang Jinqing, Wang Jitang, Mao Heting and others. Tsui Hark is from Hangzhou. It is the custom of Hangzhou in the late Qing Dynasty that guests arrive. Even when eating, no one is left at home. The Xu family's style is just the opposite. He is very funny, likes to write lyrics, and sings with Cheng Zida and others in Ningxiang. His works were seen in the Novel Monthly at that time. Tsui Hark is very kind and amiable. He was very concerned about his colleagues when he worked in the compilation institute of the Commercial Press and presided over the miscellaneous editing department of Oriental Magazine. As usual, he prepares a "spring wine" at home every Spring Festival and invites his colleagues to get together. Colleagues said, "This is unprecedented in other departments."
work
The Notes of the Qing Dynasty is a collection of his predecessors' notes left to later generations. "The book 48 volumes. There are about 92 categories of 13500 articles, including seasonality, geography, diplomacy, customs, crafts and literature. It was recorded from hundreds of notes of Qing people and recorded in newspapers. It has a wide range and convenient inspection, but the selection is quite complicated. " (See Ci Hai) In the 1980s, this book was reprinted, which shows that there are still many readers. In addition, there are other anecdote notes such as Grand View of unofficial history in Qing Dynasty, Tiansuge Series, Notes on Comfortable Living, etc.
