Zhao Yuan's self -made New Year's greeting card, "phrase", "long -term thought" and hand -painted clocks, showing ingenuity

On September 18, 1920, the 28 -year -old young man Zhao Yuanren went to visit his cousin and cousin. The cousin invited some of his classmates at the Japanese Medical University to visit it. Among them, Yang Buwei, who was three years older than Zhao Yuanren.

In September 1920, Zhao Yuanren and Yang Buwei (first from right) met

A few days later, Zhao Yuan invited friends to come to Tsinghua. The picture shows Yang Buwei read in Zhao Yuanren's study

"Still you, Dr. Yang Buwei"

Yang Buwei was born in the Wang family of Nanjing and was well educated. After returning home, Japan established a hospital. She is famous for her beautiful personality and a good speech. The first impression of Zhao Yuanren is: "This Mr. Zhao only said a few jokes, and did not say much about it, but always smiled ... holding a one in his hand holding a one in his hand The camera is reluctant to leave. "

The "Mr. Zhao", who was not appreciated with jokes, pursued Yang Buwei.

At that time, he had just returned from studying in the United States. He taught at Tsinghua University. He invited everyone to Tsinghua Xiaoju a few days after a few days. One of the notes wrote: It is you, Dr. Yang Buwei.

In 1921, the wedding photos of the two

"The signing of the signature Zhao Yuanren and Yang Bu agreed to state that their relative feelings and credit nature and degree of credit can already make this feelings and credit unconditional existence."

——The "wedding words" of the two

The two became married in 1921 and were very trendy. They abandoned all the row rituals and took a wedding photo in the park (of course, Zhao Yuan Ren himself).

They invited their friends Hu Shi and Zhu Zheng to eat. Under the witness of the two friends, this marriage was justified.

After the marriage, the two entertained the old friend Russell on the rooftop

Zhao Yuanren later asked his old friend and British philosopher Russell, "Is our marriage a bit conservative?"

Russell replied: "It's too aggressive."

Take a picture of Tsinghua University (about 1930). Liang Qichao, Wang Guowei, Chen Yinque, and Zhao Yuanren were known as the "four mentors" of Tsinghua University. At that time, Zhao Yuanren, who was only 33 years old, was the youngest.

The couple had been loving for sixty years, and Zhao Yuanren, who was "reluctant to leave his hand", did take a photo of his life. Judging from the large number of photos he left with various biography, diary, etc., the image of the "master" will also become three -dimensional: naughty, love, good popularity, enthusiasm for school, and nostalgia for family.

Eat grape three consecutive shots

He likes selfies very much. It is the earliest "selfie master", plus love to play, so there are many humorous ingenuity in the selfie.

In a group of "Eating Grapes Three Links", he divided the process of eating a grape into "have some?" "BeFore" and "after", which recorded a subtle expression change.

Taste the taste of electrical volts

He had eaten a lot. In 1919, when he was a physicist at Cornell University, he put the positive and negative pole of the battery on his tongue because he wanted to "taste the taste of electrical vodes" -to Forget to take pictures.

Learn skating and self -protection

He is not just a scholar who is only in the book. In fact, he is quite energetic. According to the photos during the United States, he actively participated in mountain climbing, rock climbing, and rowing, and also won the first place in the competition. At a certain learning skating, he placed the buffer pads in different positions, and left a selfie of a four -legged one with different angles, as if doing "self -protection" experiments.

In 1920, British philosopher Russell visited China, and Zhao Yuanren was his translation. Every time he goes, he can translate Russell's speech on a local dialect. The picture shows a scene where Zhao Yuanren captured Ms. Brack in the yard to take pictures of Russell

"Everyone lined up and took a group photo." Zhao Yuanren greeted

He took a picture of himself and gave his friends. At the same time, he was a master of Chinese students studying in the United States. Zhao Yuan is very popular, and some of them have maintained friendship.

China Sciences Society was also born among this group of young people who stayed in the United States -this is the most influential folk scientific group in modern China. Zhao Yuanren is one of the main writers of "Science" magazine. The manuscripts are all -inclusive from the fields of music, psychology, ethics, physics, etc.

A friend Hu Shi later mentioned in his speech, "Mr. Zhao's genius is very high, and the genius in all aspects is very high. His nature is thick and cute, and it is difficult to find among friends."

▲

The couple and four daughters

Family is also an important theme under his lens. He and Yang Buwei have raised four daughters in total. Zhao Yuanren liked his children and was happy to bring children. The second daughter later recalled that she had pneumonia when she was a child. Her father patiently applied medicine and hummed the nine -nine multiplication form while applying medicine. Later, I was sick, and I learned to multiply by the way.

▲

Zhao Yuanren and his eldest daughter Rulai, Zhao Rulan later became a professor at the Department of Music of Harvard. It was one of the earliest ten women's professors of the School of Arts and Sciences, Harvard University.

The eldest daughter Ru Lan later wrote in the autobiography that his father never forcibly trained what he learned from his child. He loved music by himself, so he wrote a song and took his daughter to sing with himself. The newly bought scores will be placed on the piano, so that her daughter is interested in learning. Ru Lan later became a doctorate in music and a professor of Harvard Music.

▲

On March 2, 1937, Zhao Yuanren saw Zhabei's bear fire. Later, he learned that the Business Press was also burned in the fire. The school -like was swallowed by the fire, and there was only incomplete manuscripts left at hand

Zhao Yuan has gone through several migrations in his life. He has already realized that "other things can be remedied, and if the photos and diaries are lost, they will not be able to make up." Cornell's classmate Bob Gold Master. These precious materials avoid being lost in war.

▲

In 1980, Zhao Yuan was a childlike heart, and he brought the whole family to knock on the pot to welcome the New Year.

The second daughter's newly assumed the important task of organizing the complete works of his father and the age spectrum, and also thought about sorting out all those photos. I did not expect to be "out of control" later. Later, her son and the grandson Huang Jialin of Zhao Yuan also participated.

Huang Jialin said that his mother was concerned about the matter until the last time of life, and ensuring that the finishing work had been settled before leaving. One of them found Huang Jialin and talked to him about his grandfather's "fun" life.

The following is his self -report.

▲

The second daughter, the new daughter, was fiddled with the eldest daughter Ru Lan and stretched her tongue in front of the camera, but Zhao Yuanren liked this one very much

According to my mother's memories, grandfather taking pictures is different from others. Others must be on light and bright, but he likes to make some shadows on the child's face and take a big face.

There was a family photo. When I took a picture, my aunt (Zhao Rulan) teased my mother and said that taking a picture of his tongue, the final photo came out, only the mother was stretched out her tongue.

In fact, it was even more normal to make up, but the grandfather liked the one who stretched his tongue and gave it to the friends.

▲

Family under his lens

The grandfather cares about the family together. In 1938, the grandfather accepted an invitation to go to the University of Hawaii as a visiting professor. When I want to go to the United States together, my mother (Zhao Xina) refuses to go. She said that she had never seen my grandfather's temper to her, only that time. In the end, my grandmother said to her, if you do n’t go, you do n’t go, anyway, the family cannot be separated.

Our family has always been a stronger grandmother. In 1973, my grandfather returned to China, and Premier Zhou met. After the photo was reported, some friends asked me: "How do your grandfather becomes so short?" - They mistakenly regard the grandmother who always walks on the side of Premier Zhou as the grandfather. Intersection Including the same goes to the banquet later, they are all grandmother sitting in the position of the guest.

Yang Buwei couldn't lift his arms in his late years, Zhao Yuanren combed her hair every day

Once, my grandmother did not know what to do for my grandfather for what happened, and I scolded for two hours. The grandfather suddenly suddenly realized: "I finally know how to make braised pork today." It feels like "you scolded you, I miss me", and grandma became even more angry after listening.

Another time, when my aunt was very young, the grandfather played the piano by her bed, and when the grandfather played, she shook while humming. Once she suddenly didn't shake, her face flushed flushed, and her grandfather looked dirty at first glance, and there was a smell in the air. However, he said in a fascinated saying that after playing this paragraph, the music education is very important. The song must not be interrupted casually, and my grandmother can't make it.

▲

Zhao Yuanren is also interested in astronomy, and is using a small hole to imagine the principle of explaining the solar eclipse for his daughter.

He wrote a chorus called "Singing and Singing". At the beginning, it was a chorus of three sounds. Because my third aunt and four aunts were not born, I was a grandfather, aunt, and my mother three voices. When the three aunt came out, he added another voice; then Aunt Four Once out, he added another voice.

Later, when the 100th anniversary of Zhao Yuan's birthday, several aunts came back and re -performed "Singing and Singing" again.

▲

In April 1938, the team of the "Xiang, Yunnan and Guizhou Tour" arrived at the intersection of Tuodong, Kunming. Yang Buwei, Mrs. Jiang Menglin, and Mrs. Huang Zijian made a big flower basket.

In 1937, the Anti -Japanese War broke out. The grandfather and the whole family went south from Nanjing to Kunming. On the road, there was no piano. At that time, there was no piano. He drew a key on the paper and taught the children to play the piano.

▲

Four daughter Xiaozhong and windmill group photo

In Kunming, they bought a car (Zhao Xiaozhong) to buy a car as a toy. After assembling, the two couples played themselves first. Later, I remembered that this was the toy for the four aunt, so I quickly pulled the four aunt over and took Zhang Zhao, even if I had played with her.

After work, mediate the contradiction between the two cats

In his relationship with his children, this is mainly such a thing. He is not the kind of father who has high expectations and demand a lot of children. He just likes to play and play with children.

A photo of members of the Chinese Sciences Society

Front row: Ren Hongyi (3rd), Zhao Yuanren (4th right), Yang Xingfo (right 2), Hu Shi (back row right 5)

The China Sciences Society is often founded in 1915. In fact, according to Zhao Yuanren's diary, the Sciencesheeshe was established in June 1914. By August, they chose the president, secretary, secretary, etc., which have been completely formed.

Those sponsors are all international students of Cornell, because before that, China is still underdeveloped in natural sciences. They hope to initiate a community and come to popular science.

They invited Zhu Shaoping to publish the monthly journal of "Science" in Shanghai, mainly translating some popular science articles. At that time, there were no domestic punctuation symbols. It was the first time that I had punctuation.

At that time, my grandfather had been studying for a PhD in philosophy in Harvard. He has a wide range of interests and a wide range of knowledge. Popular science articles in different fields can understand and translate it.

▲

Zhao Yuan's articles written and translated involve hypnosis, motor, moral experiments, etc.

From 1915 to 1918, the "Science" (Pioneer "(Pioneer) includes the permanent motivation, hypnotic solution, music and other sectors. From the special specifications, it can be seen that Zhao Yuanren's number of submissions and the wide range of interests. (Picture notes)

At that time, Yang Xingfo was editor -in -chief. He presided over the editorial work in Cornell. Perhaps because his grandfather was highly efficient, Yang Xingfo always asked Zhao Yuan Ren for the manuscript.

▲

Zhao Yuan's transcripts during the Cornell period, including philosophy, physics, mathematics, music, etc., can see the wide range of interests and good grades.

Yang Xingfo once wrote a letter to his friend Hu Mingfu. He attached a poem called "Sending Ho Ming Fu", which was actually indirectly asked Zhao Yuan Ren for the manuscript (Hu Mingfu and Zhao Yuan Ren were in Harvard at the time):

Since Lao Hu went, the weather was cold.

The new house has Fengge, Qingfu passed the emperor.

The situation is free, and busy is busy.

Casting "Master" for me, "Science" wants articles.

(Note: "Master" is the nickname of Zhao Yuanren)

Zhao Yuan Ren poems also returned to him:

Since Lao Hu comes, this place is warm like soup.

The draft of Science has gone, and "Master" dare not be fooled.

It is necessary to do it, and it looks like King Yan Luo.

The grandfather later spent too much energy on the manuscript of the Chinese Sciences Society for a while, and was reminded by Harvard University to pay attention to his studies.

▲

Zhao Yuanren and Hu Shi are friends for life, and Hu Shi can also be seen in photos taken at different stages.

▲

On the 40th birthday of Hu Shi, Zhao Yuanren wrote a fun vernacular oil poem on behalf of his friends:

Native

You are advocating material civilization, so we come to eat your noodles,

You are advocating to organize the country, so we all entered the research institute,

You are advocating vernacular literature, so we wrote a large piece.

Native

He and Hu Shi can talk about many things. The social songs of the Chinese Sciences Society are Hu Shi lyrics and grandfather composed. When he first translated "Alice Man's Wonderful Realm" (now translated as "Alice Midswalk Wonderland"), the title of the book was taken by Hu Shi. Hu Shi is the pioneer of the vernacular movement, and the grandfather also agrees with him, so the book is translated in vernacular. He feels that only by vernacular can reflect the connotation of that book.

▲

Zhao Yuanren actively participated in the Mandarin unified movement, translated the script in vernacular, and moved it to the stage

▲

According to statistics, Zhao Yuanren wrote more than a hundred songs in his life. He also gave Hu Shi many new poems. In fact, from the perspective of the domestic music industry, he was a musician first, and then a linguist.

Hu Shi and Liu Bannong's group of people wrote new poems. He felt fun and composed. At that time, Chen Duxiu was arrested, and Hu Shi made a "Little Poem" commemorative, and it was a few simple words over and over. My grandfather also made a song. Later, some singers were invited to sing, and they felt incredible. In the short few words, they also became a song.

In 1973, his grandfather returned to China. The grandfather in my impression is not a person who is very active to initiate the topic, but if you talk to him, he will answer you very seriously. I asked him on the train, what is the difference between the four or three shots and the eight -six shots on the music? He explained to me very patiently with changes in the rhythm -in the hobby of music, he never forgotten.

In addition to music, he also likes to play with his classmates and sports competition. Anyway, as long as he does it, I think he has interest. Once he is interested, he will really do it, and he can always do well.

▲

Zhao Yuanren, who loves music, also tried many instruments

He also likes to walk alone and think about the problem while walking. He once unknowingly walked to a strange home, and he didn't eat it, so he told the man that he hoped to buy some food. As a result, the man regarded him as a tramp, gave him food, and didn't want money. The grandfather said that it wouldn't work, and he had to give money. After such a dispute, I made an oolong.

▲

Early Entering History

His grandfather's life was most afraid of being an official. He didn't like the relationship between people who was complicated, and just wanted to do his knowledge well.

In 1928, his grandfather left Tsinghua University and joined the Institute of History and Language of the Central Academy of Sciences. He became colleagues with old friends Yang Xingfo, Cai Yuanpei and others. They wanted him to be the director of Shi Yu, and he was particularly reluctant to recommend Fu Sinian as the director.

Later, some people would question why Fu Sinian always opposed why anyone mentioned Zhao Yuanren's Director -General? I thought Fu Sinian was jealous and jealous, and he was afraid of power. In fact, because Fu Sinian knew him, he knew that what he did not like was an official.

Zhao Yuan's family and friends at the supervision office of the United States in Tsinghua

Once again in 1932, Tsinghua asked him to be the principal, and he refused to recommend Mei Yiqi as the principal. At that time, Mei Yiqi was supervised by Tsinghua University in the United States. He said, "Then I go back to him." It happened that the language group of Shiyu also had to buy equipment, so he went to the United States with a leave of Shi Yu. Mei Yiqi returned to China and became the most famous principal of Tsinghua University.

In 1946, my parents returned home from the United States. As mentioned earlier, the grandfather cares about the family together. He originally planned to return to the family to reunite later, and even ship tickets, procedures, and luggage had been cleaned up properly. As a result, the Minister of Education, the Minister of Education, always urged him to return to China, hoping that he would be the president of Central University.

Grandpa was dragged back in order to hide it. Later, the world changed, and a drag did not return to China for more than 20 years.

▲

Dialect records

What he really focuses on is his knowledge. Since 1927, he has been investigating and doing dialect research in various fields across the country. Probably walking through the Wuyu District of Jiangsu and Zhejiang; then Hunan and Hubei; and Jiangxi and Anhui. The field of research also involves ethnic minorities. You can see his photos, and there are some customs and customs of Yao and Yi people.

▲

Scientific research method of linguistics

▲

The granddaughter almost brought the big hand by Zhao Yuanren who liked the child, and also became the research object of Zhao Yuanren. In 1951, Zhao Yuanren published the paper "Cantian Idiolect" for studying infant language

I heard my mother said that his studies are characterized by "studying language in scientific methods." He found the "pronunciation person" of different dialects, included a large amount of recording materials, recorded the pronunciation curve, intonation high and low, and so on. It is indeed a very scientific method.

▲

In 1938, Zhao Yuanchen took a shot of the Central Research Institute to hang out a banner: "Welcome to the University of Lian University to walk to Yunnan"

In 1937, the Anti -Japanese War broke out. They went down from Nanjing to Kunming from Nanjing. He also carried the data material research by Hubei dialect. Finally, the "Hubei Dialect Investigation" was written in Kunming.

I always feel that his physical condition is not so good, because in Jiangxi, Hunan, and Hubei, there are photos of him who are sick. But he just likes this.

He also has a very famous "English", reads English, recording, and then put it upside down. From the end to the beginning, he read it backwards. After recording In English in normal order -I feel that he does these things is mainly for fun.

▲

Take photos with the cliff happily

At that time, the publisher asked me what the title was on. I said: This is fun (laughs). In fact, "good" can be played with the third sound or the fourth sound. His grandfather really likes to play. He is curious, and he is interested in doing it.

▲

Zhao Yuan's second daughter Zhao Xinlian and grandson Huang Jialin sorted out the photos left by Zhao Yuanren, assembled and published

He did these things for not to fight for one first or any results. After he finished it, he was very happy and enjoyed this process. This is his most "fun" place.
