Liu Yongji is a famous classical literature expert in modern China. In his childhood, he studied Chinese literature and history from his grandfather Liu Changyou (who was the governor of Zhili and Yunnan) and his father Liu Siqian (who was the magistrate of Guangdong and Yunnan provinces). At the age of 19, he was admitted to Tianjin University of technology and Shanghai Fudan public school. The next year, he entered Tsinghua preparatory school for studying in the U.S. in Beijing. Because he was dissatisfied with the poor measures of the school, he decided to drop out. When the revolution of 1911 broke out, he rushed to Hainan Island to mobilize and assist his fourth brother, Liu Diansheng, in the uprising. From the founding of the Republic of China to 1917, Jun lived in Shanghai. He studied Ci Poetry from Kuang Zhouyi (Huifeng) and Zhu zumou (qiangcun), two famous modern CI poets, and was highly appreciated by Kuang and Zhu. In 1917, he returned to Mingde middle school in Changsha, Hunan Province to teach. He used his savings for many years to prepare for studying abroad and subsidized the school in trouble free of charge. In 1928, Wu Mi was introduced to Shenyang Northeast University as a professor in the Department of Chinese. During the September 18th Incident, the Japanese invaders occupied the northeast and returned to the south. They became a professor of Wuhan University until their death (from 1938 to 1939 during the Anti Japanese War, they taught at Zhejiang University in Yishan, Guangxi and Hunan University in Chenxi, Hunan for half a year).

Liu Yongji is a strict scholar with profound and subtle knowledge. His research involves many fields of Chinese classical literature, such as poetry, CI, Qu and literary theory, and has made remarkable achievements for scholars at home and abroad. In 1917, he taught at Mingde middle school in Changsha. He devoted himself to the study of ancient Chinese literature and art theory. He wrote Wen Jian Pian, which had a lot of incisive analysis on literature and art appreciation. It was published in Xueheng magazine and was read for a time. During this period, he wrote a lecture book on literature, which was well versed in Chinese and Western learning and was published by the commercial press and reprinted many times. In 1928, he worked as a teacher in Shenyang Northeast University, and wrote the outline of literature of the fourteen dynasties (from ancient times to Sui Dynasty). It is a monograph on the history of Chinese ancient literature with unique style, structure and insight. It was published by China cultural service in 1945 and revised and supplemented by Heilongjiang People's Publishing House in 1984. At this time, he also focused on jueju and wrote the outline of the history of Yuefu in Tang Dynasty, which is the only monograph on the history of Yuefu in Tang Dynasty (with a handout to be published).

Liu Yongji devoted himself to the study of Wenxindiaolong after he taught in Wuhan University. In the 1930s, he wrote two volumes of Wenxindiaolong quotations, with 530 quotations, which were printed by Wuhan University from 1933 to 1935. In the 1940's, the book "textual criticism and interpretation of Wen Xin Diao Long" was a masterpiece of "dragon learning" after Huang Kan's "notes on Wen Xin Diao Long". All the interpretations obtained the original purpose of Liu Xie's paper. Cheng Qianfan, a disciple of Huang Kan, said: "Ji Gang's" notes "and" chapters and sentences "are the most detailed; my" proofreading "and" treatise "are the most detailed!" He is proficient in primary school's Huang Kan, good at self-criticism, and good at winning. After the publication of this book, it was highly valued by scholars, and most of its excellent theories were quoted and explained by those who studied "dragon learning". For example, Mou Shijin said in his review and Prospect of the study of Wenxindiaolong: "in the ten years from 1955 to 1964, the study of Wenxindiaolong took on a new look. Yang Mingzhao's annotation of Wen Xin Diao Long and Liu Yongji's annotation of Wen Xin Diao Long are important achievements in the research of Wen Xin Diao Long in the past ten years. Both books are the fruits of their research for many years, and have far-reaching influence at home and abroad. " (published in the second edition of Wen Xin Diao Long Xue Kan) scholars of Taiwan's governance of "long Xue" also regard his theory as the standard "see Mou Shi Jin's" a bird's-eye view of Taiwan's Wen Xin Diao Long studies "). In his later years, Liu was still devoted to the study of "dragon studies", planning to compile a dictionary of Wen Xin Diao Long, with a list of words and a lot of explanatory cards, regretting that the "Cultural Revolution" had not been completed.

In 1966, during the "Cultural Revolution" movement, Liu Yongji was beaten as a "reactionary academic authority" and "feudal relic". He died unjustly on October 2 at the age of 79. His wife was a housewife (the children in the teachers' dormitory called her "Granny Liu"), who was recognized as a "landlord" and suffered a struggle, and finally hanged herself at home. In May 1979, Wuhan University rehabilitated Liu Yongji.

Selected poems of Liu Yongji

Ruan Langgui

The spring breeze changes the dream, the sorrow comes like a jade ring. Listen to the cuckoo and the cicada.

Ling steal emperor, touch swallow man, absurd day to difficult. A wave whirls through a wave, and the cloud gulls are free.

Xiqian Warbler

Preface: a few months after the fall of Hong Kong, I heard that Yinke was going to enter Sichuan through GUI and Qian,

He asked naidi to write a letter to him and urged him to give lectures in Leshan.

The dust of the chimaera has lifted the house. Then he started to sleep in the south. Weidi Manhua, fukong fishy waves, light for green song bead dance.

Man province dangchou mountain sea, who was the home pill soil! Heartbroken things, left idle gulls three Liang, cangbo speechless.

Do you know? People are, wild water waste Bay, under the lamp Acacia bitter. Thousands of post, thousands of journey, chaos beacon remnant garrison, return to dream, where to come?

Don't ask about the past and present of cold and grey before the ten continents have been destroyed. Wild goose rope far away, afraid of jade Jun about, want to become still resistance.

corn poppy

Kunlin, Pingchu, is lost in smoke, and the water is desolate. Don't complain about withering when you go to the mountain. You can still see the Central Plains in a corner of Wucheng.

When the Aconitum equisetifolium white, the mirror oath year after year cherish. With the cry of wild geese, I don't know the autumn wind

Tell the truth

A few days ago, the water was cut off and the frost was light. Heavy clouds do not make clear, but poor autumn.
