Chapter 261 If you want to scold, you have to scold
During this period, the debate over the women's magazine "New Sex Morality" has become increasingly fierce.
Peking University professor Chen Daqi listed the new amulet of polygamy in the first volume of Modern Review on March 14th. He opposed Zhou Jianren's scientific standards of sexual morality and what is Zhang Xichen's new sexual morality.
Chen Daqi is a good at writing political comments, refuting it from all aspects of law and morality, with reasonable and well-founded.
This person is a veteran fighter in the new cultural circle. This article has caused a strong response in the new cultural circle. Many literati expressed their opinions, mainly criticizing Zhang Xichen and Zhou Jianren.
For a time, a situation of everyone shouting and beating was formed.
The two of them were not willing to be outdone and wrote articles to refute, Zhou Jianren wrote a new amulet for polygamy and Zhang Xichen wrote a new amulet for polygamy to refute Professor Chen Daqi.
They sent the article to Modern Review Magazine.
The editorial department of Modern Review Magazine is in Peiping, and Xu Zhimo went to Europe, and Chen Yuan was in charge.
The editorial department originally did not want to publish these two articles, but later decided to delete some sensitive content before publishing it, which is the so-called abridged version, and the manuscript was sent to Shanghai Wanxiang Bookstore for publication.
They wrote to Lin Zixuan to explain the situation, after all, Lin Zixuan's newspapers have been attacking Women's Magazine.
Lin Zixuan read the articles of Zhou Jianren and Zhang Xichen, but now he just took Western ideas out of context and reinterpreted them, with no new meaning.
They believe that the Western monogamy system is not good and has many disadvantages, and insist on their sexual freedom and sexual liberation.
Lin Zixuan was quite speechless about this.
Monogamy may have many problems, but it can be said to be a marriage system that best protects women's rights, otherwise it would not be recognized by most countries in the world.
Will the system of one, two wives and two wives be more perfect?
He really never repents. He took out these two articles, refused to publish them, and wrote an article himself.
"Mr. Zhang and Mr. Zhou thought that finding some extreme feminist ideas from the West is trendy and fashionable, and the so-called truth. To attract popular attention and mislead readers, they are not ashamed, but proud."
"I felt so wronged after being criticized. I thought I was a pioneer, but was suppressed by old forces, and I felt resentful. I didn't know that what I spread was the dross of the West, which was inconsistent with China's national conditions."
"The Swedish feminist Ellen Kay, whom they advocate, actually disagrees with new women at all. They deliberately ignore this point and choose only the opinions that are beneficial to them and take them out of context. This is not the way to do academic research."
"The two gentlemen do not study good things in the West and specialize in these evil ways, and are complacent because of this. It's really pitiful."
"This publication will not accept such articles that cheat manuscripts in the future, please do your own thing."
Lin Zixuan was also a master of verbal war in later generations. When he came to this era, he secretly cursed him with a pen name several times, and he always felt that he couldn't enjoy it. This time he used his own name, which felt very good.
This article appeared in a modern review published in April, adding fire to the big debate about "new sexual morality".
Zhang Xichen and Zhou Jianren were not willing to give up and sent the manuscript to other newspapers and magazines.
However, influential newspapers and magazines generally refuse to publish their articles, resulting in them having no place to list.
This was not caused by Lin Zixuan. In this era of relatively free speech, he did not have such a great power to influence various newspapers.
The main reason is that the two people's views are not accepted by the public, and those newspapers and magazines do not want to cause trouble.
So the two sent the article to Luxun and asked Luxun to publish it for the introduction magazine.
In this way, they involved Luxun.
Luxun listed these two articles on the Mangyuan and attached a commentary article.
"I have received two articles in recent days. It is a new amulet for Mr. Chen Daqi's polygamy. It is said that modern comments do not give Deng their defense and have nowhere to submit them, so I sent it to me. Please go to the place where I can Deng to introduce it."
"Authentic. This kind of article will never be seen in women's magazines. When I think about it, I feel creepy, and it is very terrifying to two types of people with very different classes, and they will be united in China."
"But I always think that Mr. Zhang Zhou and others talked about these things too early in China. Although foreign countries have already said that they are old, foreign countries are foreign countries. But I always think that Mr. Chen is full of "distortions and distortions", which is about pros and cons, and it is not like talking about right and wrong, and it is incomprehensible."
"As for Mr. Lin's opinion that these arguments are dross and are harmful to the country today, I think if it is not spread in, how can we predict whether it is harmful? We must always understand and judge and argue to confirm whether it is harmful. Otherwise, it will be a one-man rule and arbitrary behavior, which is not worth taking."
This article seems fair and has comments on both parties, but in fact it still has the meaning of defending Zhang Xichen and Zhou Jianren.
The result of this incident was that Zhang Xichen resigned from Commercial Press, and Zhou Jianren was transferred to edit the Nature Magazine.
Later, Zhang Xichen founded a new women's magazine, continued to promote his views, and founded Kaiming Bookstore, becoming Lin Zixuan's competitor.
This debate is just the beginning, and the debate between modern comments and Yusi has just begun.
The debate was caused by the incident where students from Beijing Women’s Normal University opposed the president Yang Yinyu, also known as the Women’s Normal University trend.
Yang Yinyu was born in 1884 in a scholarly family in Wuxi, Jiangsu.
In 19o7, he received public funds to study in Japan, studied at Tokyo Higher Normal School, went to the United States to study in 1918, studied at Columbia University, and obtained a master's degree in education.
In 1924, he was appointed as the president of the National Beijing Women's Normal University and became the first female university president in modern Chinese history.
According to the educational theory learned from the West, Yang Yinyu emphasized order and academic style in school, and asked students to just study, not participate in political activities, and regarded student demonstrations as incorrect academic style.
This has a conflict with students, especially some radicals among them.
One of these radical students was named Xu Guangping.
In January 1925, the Student Autonomous Association of Women's Normal University submitted a declaration to Yang Yinyu to ask the Ministry of Education to remove the principal. In April, Zhang Shizhao, the President of Education, emphasized the academic style and publicly supported Yang Yinyu.
The tide is getting worse and worse until it is uncontrollable.
There are many different political tendencies in the modern criticism school. For example, Chen Yuan supported Yang Yinyu and opposed students' trouble, thus launching a famous debate with Luxun.
What’s interesting is the story behind this trend.
Students charge forward, and all forces are manipulated behind the scenes, some are exploited, and some are gained love.
