Evaluate
Huang (1918 - 2000) seemed destined to be a legendary: he from the 14, the age of five began contributor to the local newspaper, write passion never stopped since then, "Hunan Daily" supplement continuously published in the world he has written celebrity biographies, each has his own hand-drawn character portraits; 18-year-old was admitted to Nankai University in Tianjin; war began, he Pen for the Sword; war stay in the United States, 34-year-old "old age" from third year of Reading, the first to study journalism department, later transferred to the Department of History, graduated in 1954, and later in the school to continue to graduate, respectively, in 1957 and received master's and doctoral degrees in 1964; for many years no new the advent of the age of 62 by New York State University, Professor Niu Puzi campus positions from being fired. Dramatic effect, in the second after he was dismissed, his repeated failures, "Wanli fifteen years" by Yale University Press published by when the U.S. writer Ebo Dyke (John Updike) at New Yorker magazine to write book reviews recommendation, in 1982 and 1983 the book received the National Book Award (American BookAwards) twice nominated for History books. The following year, "Wanli 15 years" published in Beijing, the Chinese version of Huang's work...... from a pick one to publish, are subject to almost every hot pursuit of this, work in general by the attention, from the early English treatise, to the Chinese of the late, many scholars have written book reviews Review, which temporarily "yellow book became popular," people began to organize the "yellow Research Society", and for founding the "yellow Studies" Academic Series. No wonder some people lamented in the last ten years of the twentieth century, a Chinese American historian and retired professor of the United States, historians have become the greatest influence in China, most famous one-man reputation, but also really be a "different number."
And Huang's death, also has the legendary Color - January 8, 2000 when he suffered a heart attack in the movies died on the way in to the cinema, he and his wife, the topic of conversation is the funeral. Huang smile on Mrs. Younger said: "The older people have so many ailments, it is best discarded body, left the earth."
As we all know, Huang readers covering almost all kinds of occupations, especially highly educated professionals, most of whom are not historical. Interestingly, however, is that some people do not buy his account, even said Huang, "is the Historians Qiong Yao" "As Mr. Geng Liqun," Huang of data directory "points out that: the Huang has been mixed in the academic community, Opinion has, certainly not be the same, historians or scholar often questioned their mid-life switch is not stringent enough academic work; suddenly dealing with hundreds, thousands of great history, architecture, history scholars think it is too general to take risks, to simplify interpretation of history.
In this, the cross-strait academic editors will comment on Mr. Huang Renyu external sort out some of the comments, so readers can have more side, multi-level to get to know him.
Today, living historians, was probably not a person to enter college in the accumulation of a large wall as the bottom of a deep experience, and no one could invoke these experiences as a resource, a large wall in the new to be as much innovation and unique academic achievements.
- Zhu Xueqin
That department was very much praised, so far as the Amazon online bookstore also assessed the average reader as a "five star" Ray Huang, "Wanli 15 years", in fact, English is called "1587A Year of No Significance", meaning " In 1587, a year of no significance ", though I have a different view on this book, but the name Jiyu's a historical concept, I really agree.
- Leaving "continued the drafting history of ideas"
Historians have endlessly controversial regarded academic works this time, readers have made their choice, and not a low cultural level, a writer. If you are interested in the cultural history of the elite is not favored domestic historical works, then who gave these books to see?
"Ray Huang phenomenon" is actually a history of academic warning, academic research should be out of the narrow world, from the upper face and a few elite-oriented non-specialized readers to realize the transformation of social services.
- Liu Zhiqin "Huang phenomenon"
"Great history" concept author, shortly before the death of Mr. Huang Renyu just created a new historical essay, with fresh handsome words to precisely in Broadcom's history knowledge and melt in the furnace of tension, the academic work becomes a the public spirit of the cuisine. Huang opening said: "The Wanli 15 years actually nothing exciting year." Influenced by this, not the amateur to focus on "big issue" Searching for a vision, can only through the history of the sea appears calm, inquiring culture the continental shelf to plunge to the seabed, analysis how historical calamities, the end of play on the Qingping.
- Zhuang "Let's figure of"
Because there is such a positive attitude, so, despite the author's thought cold and cruel historical events described are quietly, but his basic view is optimistic. However, his optimism, is a historian's optimism, not the author's optimism. Scholars look at history, often slip into fishing Qiao gossip: "How many things past and present, are into jokes." Literary entertainment today works to "joke" of history as yet, is the author's history of graft and consumption times. Mr. Huang Renyu literature ink used to write history, but he remains a serious talk about history.
Most worthy of careful consideration, is the author of a purely "private scholar" status bird's eye view of history, not as a group "to do the project." He certainly has the eyes of the times, there is the hair; he did not write general history, with only microscopic analysis of the history section, organic blend of official history and unofficial history, reading Mr. Huang's book, I was reassured: the academic, personal the voice is not weak!
- Wei Jian-Min "Reading" relationship must re> "
As the saying goes: "Stones from other hills may serve to polish jade," Huang scholars in American history has been dismal unsuccessful, his masterpiece, "Wanli 15 years" published Shihai struggle to find, even in his old age "memoirs" are also indignant on the matter, but who would have thought that this book is the one on the mainland Shaoqi, "Wild Fire."
Clearly, Wong is able to work quickly swept the continent to study circles, and the enduring twenty years, The reason is closely related to their writing style....... He created a new historical essay, handsome with a fresh text to careful and precise knowledge and Broadcom's history are melted in a furnace of tension, the academic work becomes a public spirit of the cuisine. It is said that Huang's pen has a "Kafka-like magic," when this magic show is unique narrative calm, restraint and precision.
- Mr Kwong Hoi-yan, "History of the" low class curve "- from Huang to Yi Zhongtian"
- Fang "mourn Mr. Huang Renyu"
(Huang's) One of the advantages of giving the book a "vital sense of history." This is the history books of the unique charm of it, if deprived of the concrete, sensuous things, history will become suspicious of the concepts and symbols, and why people read history, not in order to listen to a bunch of dogma.
- He Zhaotian (by the Academy of Social Sciences Literature)
Huang's method of study of History, not difficult to find, "from a technical point of view of history, not from a moral point of view the review history," This is quite different from the Confucian tradition as the center of the history. The re-induction, re-integrated, long time trying to look at the history of style is also different from the mainstream of American Sinology, "microscope" view, it touches won the French Annales school of nutrition.
In fact, Huang's readers, covering almost all kinds of occupations, especially highly educated professionals, most of whom are not historical. If not from the occupation by the cardiac division, we might borrow a history professor at Peking University Yan step Sadik, a chat room saying: no more than two. One is already history-loving people, just as it was martial arts-loving, people loving essay; the other is the wise man type of people who found in all levels of society.
- Richard Wu, Qi Gan, "" Ray Huang Cyclone, "the wind from where? "
"Wanli 15 years" in the youth school and the popularity of the scholars related to much higher than in the history of academia, which shows the history and related disciplines and the academic community has a great divide....... Huang's achievement is that he really draws attention to the other side often say.
- The studies of "irreplaceable Ray Huang"
Huang's book is not an ordinary in the history books, not just to scholars and experts to write, but for writers, most Chinese people read, the sense of the times particularly strong, was able resonates, and the reformers in China's Zhishifenzi, also has the largest number of readers.
Huang's experience in not only China, but also the West (such as lending his understanding of operating a financial capital, no one in China and historians); in academic as well. For the others, young, holding the gun or grip hoe handle the experience, but also with his future professional ware? Huang did not bit by bit almost word "waste", so reading his book, people can not help but yearn for can be said that Huang is a product of the times through his professional and historical knowledge, the individual's life to play extreme, and also left us with a lot of spiritual wealth. We have to keep pondering the future of his teachings, and his recall.
- High-Ling Wang, "Huang relax History Vision"
His Contribution to the history of China from 1587 that cross-section of the knife Wanli 15 years, which not only made him get a new observation point, also made him get a new sense of the text.
- Li Fang "to the Mandarin writing acupuncture"
Li Ao, Wang Rongzu cooperation out an evaluation of Chiang Kai-shek's book, the book has an introduction to the book on Mr. Huang, a junior officer to the effect that former KMT Huang wrote a book on the Chiang Kai-shek, in order to defend Chiang Kai-shek. Light sentence, it will be Wong's fair As credible position. Successful Association of strokes that are poisonous though, not to be encouraged, but the real point of the problem.
- Liu Wei "History you need to Chiang Kai-shek? "
Huang young anti-Japanese front in the future, probably have not thought to study history, but historians of his potential as a communication in the field have been showing these years, his writing was then a first-class amateur newspaper "Ta Kung Pao," fancy, not without reasons. He not only careful observation, and is rich in language ability, even in the extreme tension which can open a dawdle, calmly dwell.
- Fu Kuo-Chung "Huang presence of history"
In my piece the impression that Huang was a soldier to retain the old bad habits of Xingqingzhongren --- despite his many achievements in historiography...... Huang's research and evaluation of the Chiang Kai-shek, but concede a historian should have sought an objective, fact-speaking basic position....... This article do not wish to denounce the sins Chiang Kai-shek, Chiang Kai-shek to explain the issue in the treatment, Huang indeed biased disgrace to the basic style of a historian.
History of advance and retreat, Huang's own experience; Huang gains and losses, but also their own criticisms of later generations.
- Wang Chunyu "Huang Memories"
Is in such a great reputation in the big crash, Mr. Huang brilliant academic spring boarding. A simple logic is: the greater the praise or blame, the better the book sales.
Although not free, "nondescript" impression, Huang is still a rare cultural figures.
- Document the public, "Ray Huang: a" nondescript "historian"
"Wanli 15 years" there is deep popular reason is that Huang called "big history" in the role. It is a purely academic question, few decades historians ripples; but it can set off the current wave of public reading, it would have to admire the intelligence and courage of Mr. Huang. Reading his book, the "light reading" level, I am often excited. I am easy to say Mr. Huang is a "three-anti-elements", one is "anti-moral," he says failed and backward China is the crux of the "moral rule"; in particular, instead of using technical and legal ethics, it is a very dangerous thing. He Ren Wei, should be to maximize possible moral excluded from the scope of the Discussion of History, in the view history, should consider how parties can do, not how to do it should be, moral evaluation Bingfei historian's responsibility. The second is the "anti-good nature," and Huang Wanli emperor by the "mouth" that people are the same, a while and Yin and Yang duality. Both moral ethics, "Yang", there selfish greed "Yin" and that the "Yin" is also the power on earth can not be eliminated. The third is "anti-history" and Huang as have a "big history" of the weapons, we must judge the past, "small history." He advocated the chess game in history, and should be depth look at the problem from a horse eaten by a car, direct, perhaps because it is another to live in the leg; However, the reason why horses eaten by a car, but starting from the chess game both the consolidated results of games. Do not you think this "to all events are included in the tide of history" approach, it seems that a number of historical determinism with traces of it?
- Yu Xiao group "Huang: Let wandering of souls, holding back the skirt of their loved ones"
Huang's view of history, real history for the winner-takes, completely modern "ending" as the right to judge whether or not the basis of past history: in the success of modern civilization, its ancient history to prove that it is reasonable and correct; failure in modern civilization, to prove that ancient history is absurd, wrong.
- Hu Wenhui (Hu Yidao) "partial or see, is still largely without - great history Huang Critical"
His narrative history approach, in the College outside the mainstream of historical writing, as we lay out a road exploring the possibility of history, which is currently written in Chinese history, the most lacking.
Huang is working on the analysis of the structure of a narrative, the text and in personal opinion and expression, between narrative and analysis, and there is no fracture. Unfortunately, most of the works of professional historians (in Chinese natural world in particular), this type of fracture is extremely significant, because most historians are no longer "story" of the.
- (Taiwan) Jiang, Masahiro "History, fiction and narrative discourse: On Huang's"
Mr. Huang Renyu from the provision of a name, called "Big History" (Macro-History) The history school history, in eight ○ half of Taiwan's historians to cast a stone, the stimulation bursts of feedback.
- (Taiwan) Alan Li Zhong, "Huang and his great history"
Interpretation of this paragraph of fine thread, Mr. Huang so-called "insights" are not confined to his initiative a "great history" and "the figure of management" concept, but a researcher of all history high hopes. However, this text I was most impressed, and still is to give Wong history "Practical" care and concern: "if we give the hesitation, the future's writings, I am afraid there are not many people saw it."
Review of this history, Mr. Huang repeatedly stressed the need to escape characters characterize and evaluate the "moral" level, while "From a technical point of view of history." At this point, "the figure of Management" and "big history" has become the essence of one of history Huang sides.
- (Taiwan) Peng Qiu students "examine the relationship between the Ming and Qing China and the Government of evolution"
Huang great historical perspective, the historical event of the factors of non-attention. In contrast, the history of the people, are inevitably a degree of ordinary people into.
Even we can say that Wei Ang Lee's novel, the background is the main character.
- (Taiwan) Chang Hui-ching "when the book has become the Qingming Festival ─ ─ historian and novelist, Huang Wei-Ang Lee"
Huang's story speaks more exciting, more concentrated flavor irony of history. On the contrary, the more deadly the traditional organization, Huang to get more space, the more precise characterization of these characters traits and strengths; and the more readers can enjoy the experience of Chinese society, the collective tragedy. Effort, ethics, have been the fate of genius, which is ridiculed by the absence of modern society. In traditional Chinese society, eating is not the propriety of Lu Xun said, but management capabilities.
Qing Dynasty Chinese and the West but is a "Westernized" one sheets from the present, but Huang said the Western system in China, is a modern and historical teleology of harmonic under the said.
- (Taiwan) Chen Zhengguo "When East Meets West: Huang discussed the modernization of Western History"
For Huang, the "big history" style of, and even close to the areas of theology: "Generally the far horizon of human history from the time the position of the review, however unexpected imagination would consider close to the field of theology "
- (Taiwan) Chi-Lun Liu, "" great history "under the individual"
President of the "good" reading assessment claimed that its "sometimes a bit too much made of the general impression, reading feverish description of China as a foreigner, however, such an approach makes Wong's literature and narrative have a different History textbooks in the traditional fresh. " And readers have often felt "great history", as Mr. Wang said the Yellow Book "to the problem of Chinese history was cut for the program"
- (Taiwan) Wang trouble Sen
"I read the book Mr. Huang, Zhe for their lack of Chinese thought, literature and art of the knowledge of the shock," "Mr. Huang's history and the history of knowledge is simply not involved in any area of philosophy and literature," and "technology only only this, Bian Yu Toward lower, old, I am? "
