I would like to deeply remember Mr. Li Xifan from two aspects: on the one hand, Mr. Li Xifan is a scholar worthy of our respect、Alumni、Friends；On the other hand，He is another scholar with a distinct mark of the times。
Let’s talk about the first point first，Why is Mr. Li Xifan said to be a respectable scholar？I think there are three reasons。
First，Mr. Li Xifan is an upright scholar，This is consistent with his character。1947 to 1949，Recommended by Mr. Li Xifan’s brother-in-law Zhao Jibin，Mr. Li Xifan was auditing in the Chinese Department of Shandong University, Qingdao，In 1949, he transferred from the cadre training class of East China University to the Chinese Department of Shandong University。Because I was an auditor before，His foundation is better than other students，So I wrote a paper "The Creation of Typical Characters" when I was in my second year of college，Mr. Lu Ying, a famous scholar who was the head of the Chinese Department at the time, thought it was well written，Recommended to Principal Huagang，Principal Huagang recommended it to "Literature, History and Philosophy"，Became the first college student article published in "Literature, History and Philosophy"。Be able to publish relatively high-quality articles while still in college，Explains Mr. Li Xifan’s love for academic research。Of course this is related to the fact that he listened to many lectures by famous scholars at that time，For example, Mr. Yang Xiangkui’s general history、Mr. Wang Zhongluo’s History of Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties、Mr. Xiao Difei’s History of Yuefu Poetry in the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties、Mr. Feng Luliang’s history of ancient literature, etc.。At the same time, Mr. Li Xifan also pays attention to theoretical study，I have taught myself many classic works of Marxism-Leninism。
Before publishing the article about "Dream of Red Mansions"，Mr. Li Xifan also published many articles about characters in ancient novels，For example, "A brief discussion on the evaluation of Water Margin - Comment on "Song Jiang Examination"。This article is a criticism of the famous historian Zhang Zhengxang's "Song Jiang Examination"，Mr. Li Xifan believes that the characters in the novel are different from those recorded in history，You cannot use the method of researching historical figures to comment on the characters in novels，You cannot use the Song Jiang in history to measure the Song Jiang in the novel "Water Margin"。It can be seen that Mr. Li Xifan does not flock to certain opinions just because they come from authoritative figures，But based on the theory learned by oneself，Combine your own understanding to make an argument，Propose your own different opinions。Later expressed different opinions on Mr. Yu Pingbo's "A Dream of Red Mansions"，It is a consistent approach，Rather than catering to a certain trend；Not just follow the crowd、Say what others say。Another example is the comment on the image of Cao Cao in "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms"，Not because Chairman Mao wanted to "overturn the verdict" for Cao Cao，Give up your opinion，Because Mr. Li Xifan insists that historical figures and novel characters cannot be the same。Before the Cultural Revolution、During the Cultural Revolution，Jiang Qing came to Mr. Li Xifan several times，Ask him to write an article commenting on the new historical drama "Hai Rui Dismissed from Office"，Mr. Li Xifan thinks he has not found any problems in the play，So I didn’t agree，Therefore, Mr. Li Xifan was once ignored and even shocked。Explanation of this situation，Mr. Li Xifan is an upright scholar。
Secondly，Mr. Li Xifan is a very diligent scholar。From college，Until the old age，He is still writing at the age of ninety，Hard work。He has written many works，Such as "Collection of Commentaries on "A Dream of Red Mansions"" (co-authored with Lan Ling), "On the Artistic Image of Chinese Classical Novels", "The Ideology and Art of "Scream" and "Wandering"", "Selected Literary Criticisms by Li Xifan", "Xianwai Collection", "On "People" and "Reality"" "Guan Jian Collection" "Cun Xin Collection" "Subject Matter·Thoughts·Art", "Selected Literary Criticisms of Li Xifan", "Literary Essays", "Literary Essays Continuation", "Yanni Collection", "The Contribution of Mao Zedong's Literary Thoughts", "Artistic Essays", "Shensha Collection" and more than ten kinds of monographs。Participated in the editing of "Dream of Red Mansions Dictionary" and "General History of Chinese Art"，It can be said to be a book of his own。Mr. Li Xifan once served as the executive bet365 online casinodeputy director of the Literature and Art Department of "People's Daily"、Executive Vice President of China Academy of Arts, etc.，Whether it is a heavy leadership job，After retirement，Mr. Li Xifan has never stopped academic research work，Work hard all your life，Spend your efforts in academic research。Not by chance，Trying to become a political figure，But always on the road of academic research。
Again，Mr. Li Xifan’s research vision is very broad，Not only has unique research on several classical novels，He also made unique research on modern and contemporary literature, especially Mr. Lu Xun。His analysis of characters in classical novels，Discussion on the artistic characteristics of classical novels，It still has extremely high theoretical value to this day。Mr. Li Xifan laid the foundation of literary theory when he was young，Detailed documentation is available，Having a theoretical grasp，These two aspects，Mr. Li Xifan integrates very well，The combination was very successful，It is worth our serious study。
Let’s talk about the second point，Mr. Li Xifan is another scholar with a distinct mark of the times，His academic research has distinctive characteristics of the times。
At the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China，Many scholars try to apply Marxist theory，Or learn from Soviet literary and artistic theories for academic research。Concrete manifestation is typical theory、Class theory、The use of people’s nature, etc.。I think Mr. Li Xifan is the same as other scholars，They are all deeply affected by this。So in a series of articles about "Dream of Red Mansions"，Insist that "Dream of Red Mansions" is not a simple love between Bao and Dai，Or the concept of color and emptiness，It is a struggle between the rebels within feudal society and the defenders of feudal ethics，It is a manifestation of class struggle within feudal society；Bao Dai represents the image of a young rebel，Jia Zheng、Jia Mu and others are representatives of feudal defenders。This view was refreshing at the time。Mr. Li Xifan was influenced by the trend of the times，Making him put forward such an academic point of view，Nothing to complain about。Today’s view，This view can certainly be discussed，Because current research is more diversified，Pay attention to understanding and analyzing the novel "A Dream of Red Mansions" from different levels。Especially the analysis of Bao Dai’s image，Some are from a cultural perspective，Especially from the perspective of Manchu culture，From a religious and cultural perspective，Analysis from the influence of Zhuang Chan’s thoughts on them, etc.，But this cannot completely deny Mr. Li Xifan’s views。
I think，Mr. Wang Guowei’s early comments on "Dream of Red Mansions"，Also borrowed from Western Schopenhauer、Nietzsche’s point of view，Propose the concept of color and emptiness，It makes sense。To classic novels，Should be comprehensive、Understand and grasp at multiple levels，It should not be simplified。Mr. Li Xifan’s views represent the characteristics and a trend of thought of that era。The valuable thing about Mr. Li Xifan is，He is not swinging from side to side、Easy to both sides，But always stick to and improve your own opinions，Of course, it also bears a distinct mark of the times。
On the matter of writing a research article criticizing Yu Pingbo's "Dream of Red Mansions"，Li Xifan is definitely not catering to political trends，But the top leader at the time thought this was a good topic，This can be used to criticize idealism in academia。Just like Chairman Mao instructed: It seems that the struggle to dominate the field of classical literature and poison the youth can begin。Think this is a good opportunity，But it does not mean that Li Xifan wrote this article based on the will of some people。You must clearly distinguish between right and wrong。
As for the process of writing a research article criticizing Yu Pingbo's "A Dream of Red Mansions"，Mr. Li Xifan said it very clearly，At that time, I and my classmate Lan Ling accidentally saw Mr. Yu Pingbo’s review article on "Dream of Red Mansions"，Thinking of the theories I have learned，Think you can write an article to express your own opinions。After the article is written，Contributed articles to many newspapers and periodicals，Including the famous "Literary Newspaper" at that time，None of them adopted，So I handed it over to the school newspaper "Literature, History and Philosophy" of my alma mater Shandong University。After the article is published，Chairman Mao attaches great importance to it，Think this is a good opportunity to fight against Hu Shi and other idealists，Finally turned into a political movement。Look now，Academic research is academic research，If expanded to the political scope，Obviously not appropriate。Anyway，Mr. Li Xifan is a scholar influenced by the thoughts of the times，But it is not to cater to some political trend，This needs to be distinguished carefully。This is caused by the specific environment of the times，We must have a correct understanding of this。
When the China Academy of Art was still in Prince Gong’s Mansion，I went to visit Mr. Li Xifan at the Dream of Red Mansions Research Institute。A few years later，The Chinese Art Research Institute has moved to No. 1 Huixin Beili，I paid a special visit to his office again。Mr. Li Xifan always maintains an amiable smile。Because I am Mr. Yuan Shishuo’s student，So Mr. Li Xifan treats me like his own student。After I talked bet365 online sports betting liveabout the topic I was studying，Mr. Li Xifan immediately took two or three books from the bookshelf and gave them to me，Let me refer to it。So Mr. Li Xifan is indeed an alumnus worthy of our respect，We are very proud and proud to have such an outstanding alumnus。
Zou Zongliang:
I want to talk about Mr. Li Xifan and Mr. Yang Jianzhong (pen name Lan Ling)，These two seniors、Alumni、The teacher’s contribution to the research on “Dream of Red Mansions”。
Read a few online articles，Mainly about Mr. Li’s situation written after Mr. Li Xifan’s death，Introduction to Mr. Li。None of these introductions involve Mr. Li’s research on "Dream of Red Mansions"，The reason is of course that the research situation of "Dream of Red Mansions" is relatively complicated。
The late Mr. Feng Qiyong once said during his lifetime，Li Xifan made contributions to the study of "Dream of Red Mansions"。
I think I will have a correct understanding in the future、Objective evaluation of Mr. Li Xifan、Mr. Lan Ling and the need for their commentary on "Dream of Red Mansions"。
Let’s review the history of red learning，The earliest one to appear was the Pingdian sect，Including Zhi Yanzhai and others，Including some later commentators，Like Wang Xilian、A certain mountain man (Yao Xie)、The second known person (Cai Jiawan)、Zhang Xinzhi and others。The commenting school is in the form of commenting，Some scattered comments on "Dream of Red Mansions"。Then the Old Red School，Representative figures，For example, "The Story of Stone" published by Cai Yuanpei in 1917，Saying that "Dream of Red Mansions" is a political novel，The author’s intention is to mourn the demise of the Ming Dynasty，Criticize the faults of the Qing Dynasty。Cai Yuanpei explained，The word "red" in "A Dream of Red Mansions" implicitly refers to the word "zhu"，Because vermilion and red are the same color。What does Zhu mean？That’s the Ming Dynasty，That’s Han Chinese。Because the Ming Dynasty was a Han government established by the emperor surnamed Zhu，etc.。Research on the Suoyin Sect，Almost no science at all。Later Hu Shi criticized the old red school，Criticize the Soyin School，Research some historical facts about "Dream of Red Mansions"，Facts created by the author，The author’s family situation, etc.，Including Gu Jiegang、Yu Pingbo，And later Zhou Ruchang, etc.，All belong to the New Red School。
The rise of the new red school clarifies the fog caused by the disappearance of the old red school，Bringing red science research back to the track of reality，Return to the track of normal development of academic research。But researchers of new red science，They basically only do research on historical facts，Do not do research on ideological and artistic aspects，So over a long period of time，Comprehensive research on "Dream of Red Mansions" has not been carried out。Mr. Yu Pingbo’s research on "Dream of Red Mansions" began in the 1920s，originally wrote "A Dream of Red Mansions"，Later came the fifties，He revised and rewritten his views，Written the book "Research on the Dream of Red Mansions"。1953，Mr. Yu wrote "A Brief Essay on the Dream of Red Mansions" at the invitation of "People's China" magazine，This article was also published in the March 1954 issue of "New Construction"。In this article，Where Mr. Yu talked about his thoughts in "A Dream of Red Mansions"，It is the concepts of "color" and "emptiness" in the book。This is also Li Xifan、Mr. Lan Ling’s paper and his key discussions。
A fact we need to face is，In Li Xifan、When Lan Ling raised concerns about Yu Pingbo’s "A Brief Commentary on the Dream of Red Mansions"，People’s understanding of "A Dream of Red Mansions" is generally not as comprehensive as it is today、So profound。In this case，It makes sense for the two gentlemen to write articles to discuss with Mr. Yu Pingbo。Although some of their words are a bit excessive，But their understanding of the thoughts of "Dream of Red Mansions" is much deeper than that of Mr. Yu Pingbo。What is the theme of "A Dream of Red Mansions"？Where is the profoundness of the thought in "Dream of Red Mansions" shown？No one has discussed these issues before。So I think，They discussed with Mr. Yu Pingbo under such circumstances，Calling researchers to pay attention to the thoughts of "Dream of Red Mansions"、Art、Characters and realism spirit，There is a good reason。
Let’s take a look at the articles included in "Comments on a Dream of Red Mansions"，Li Xifan、Two gentlemen Lan Ling’s thoughts on "A Dream of Red Mansions"、Artistic、Character、Structure etc.，Made a more comprehensive review。You can say this，Today people have a more comprehensive understanding of "Dream of Red Mansions"、Profound understanding，Especially thoughts on "Dream of Red Mansions"、Art、In-depth research on characters and other aspects，With Li、Mr. Yang’s participation in Red Studies is inseparable。As early as the 1920s，Mr. Lu Xun talked about this understanding in "The Historical Changes of Chinese Novels": "Since the publication of "A Dream of Red Mansions"，Traditional thinking and writing methods are broken。"Lu Xun believes that the ideological nature of "A Dream of Red Mansions"、The artistry far exceeds other classical novels。But with Mr. Li Xifan、Before Mr. Lan Ling wrote the article discussing with Mr. Yu Pingbo，People’s thoughts on "Dream of Red Mansions"、The understanding of artistry is still very superficial，Far from reaching the heights it later achieved。It is with their participation、Under the push，Research on red science has been carried out in an all-round bet365 online gamesway。Of course there are other external forces to promote it，The then leader Mao Zedong read their article，This took this as an opportunity to launch a movement to criticize Hu Shi’s idealism。
Comprehensive research on "Dream of Red Mansions"、Full review，It started from the "Red" movement in 1954。Although academic issues are discussed in the form of sports，This way、The method is very questionable，But in a sense，It really deepens people’s understanding of the classic novel "A Dream of Red Mansions"。
Mr. Li gave me the impression of a scholarly and humble elder。Since the 1950s，He has been studying "A Dream of Red Mansions"。Until old age，He is still tireless，Co-wrote a collection of character reviews of "A Dream of Red Mansions" with his daughter，Comments on many characters in "Dream of Red Mansions" very well，Always contributing to the research of red science。
For Li Xifan、Research on "Dream of Red Mansions" by Mr. Lan Ling，I think the future history of Red Studies will record their contributions，will be objective about their achievements and role、Fair evaluation。
Li Guikui:
The previous two teachers talked more comprehensively from a macro perspective，I would like to talk about two points from the influence of Mr. Li Xifan on my research on writing people。
Mr. Li Xifan’s academic career began with the study of "Dream of Red Mansions"，We can see the trend of the times experienced by Mr. Li Xifan，Mainly literary research dominated by reflection theory，i.e. a typical person in a typical environment。From the perspective of Mr. Li Xifan’s academic research career，One of his areas of expertise is novel characters。On the issue of writing about people，I think he did take such a path，His social class analysis is marked by that era。Later，One of his key words in research is "Exploring the Artistic Realm"，From social analysis to artistic exploration，Also from external research to internal research。Of course he did not stop at the distinction between inside and outside，He mainly enters it，Unexpected，It is a combination of internal and external。We have emphasized internal research in the past period，For a while, external research was emphasized again，They are all biased to a certain extent，They all have limitations。
Mr. Li’s exploration from social analysis to artistic realm，Not only adheres to social significance，Also gave him his own unique aesthetic value，And more importantly, he can go deep into the characters' hearts，The spiritual style of various characters from the details of the novel，The experience is more nuanced。
In "On the Artistic Image of Chinese Classical Novels"，Mr. Li Xifan not only emphasizes social analysis，Also attaches great importance to literature and text research，That is, the study of the work itself。He believes that cumbersome research on characters in novels is problematic，Emphasize that the study of novels must be based on the study of the work itself。For example, when analyzing Lin Daiyu, it was mentioned: "Lin Daiyu shed tears all her life，On the edge of despair in life and ideals，But an abnormal smile appeared。Hearing the useless comfort from Jia Mu who drove her to death，It’s ‘a slight smile’；Listened to the white lie of Zicuckoo who sincerely sympathized with her，Also ‘a slight smile’，Lin Daiyu ended her crying life with laughter。This smile means her sudden awakening to the painful life，Appropriately reflects her complete despair and complex feelings of looking forward to death。”This analysis shows that this abnormal description of crying and laughing contains Mr. Li Xifan’s rich artistic experience。As author，This is a unique grasp of the characters，As a reader、Commenter，Mr. Li Xifan has unique experience。
In "On the Artistic Image of Chinese Classical Novels"，Talk about direct description from the beginning、Indirect description。For these concepts，Although we are now accustomed to it，But Mr. Li Xifan already had a better grasp at that time。
Anyway，On the one hand, we must see the mark of the times on him，It really talks about the class nature of the characters、The character’s rebelliousness，At the same time, it also shows the critical significance of the novel，Critical，This is a mark of that era。But later we can also see when he and his daughter collaborated to write characters，I observe such a work with my own unique aesthetics，"The vivid writing style will last forever，Not a lover without tears”，Emphasis on the national character of "Dream of Red Mansions"，And expresses that the characters are realistic。His class analysis of "Dream of Red Mansions" may be a bit outdated，But his overall grasp of "Dream of Red Mansions"，Summary of artistic conception，Expressive writing style，Forever timeless。
Fan Qingyan:
Mr. Li Xifan is a contemporary Marxist theorist，Literary critic，Famous red scholar，Our outstanding alumni of Shandong University，His death is a great loss to the academic community，We should deeply remember him，I am going to talk about four feelings:
First point，Mr. Li is a very hard-working person，His family is relatively poor，Many brothers and sisters，Under the pressure of life，He dropped out of school to work when he was very young，But I don’t forget to study while working，Insist on reading a subset of classics and history，Built a solid foundation in Chinese studies，In addition，His brother-in-law Zhao Jibin is a professor of philosophy at Shandong University，is an expert in Marxist theory。Mr. Li once worked as an assistant to Mr. Zhao，Deeply influenced by Marx’s theory，Having a great influence on his future research path。At the beginning, Mr. Li was attending Shandong bet365 slotsUniversity，Later joined the army and became an undergraduate student of Shandong University。He is very diligent and hardworking，Strive to present your own academic opinions，With the support of Principal Huagang，The articles he wrote in college were published in "Literature, History and Philosophy"，The academic masters from the Chinese Department of Shandong University helped him，The academic tradition and atmosphere of Shandong University’s literature and history also had an influence on him。And influenced by the academic atmosphere of the times，The academic trend of the Soviet Union also allowed him to set the lofty goal of becoming China’s “Dobrolyubov”。These can be seen from his writings。
Second point，He is a knowledgeable person、People with broad vision。Mr. Li’s works are rich，He has successively written "Comments on a Dream of Red Mansions", "Xianwai Collection" and "On";人"and"Reality"》《Guan Jian Ji》《On the Artistic Image of Chinese Classical Novels》《Cun Xin Ji》《Theme·Thoughts·Art", "The Thought and Art of "Scream" and "Wandering"", "The Art World of Dream of Red Mansions", "Selected Literary Reviews by Li Xifan", "Literary Essays", "Literary Essays Continuation", "Yanni Collection", "Intercession", "Mao Zedong Literature and Art" "Contribution of Thoughts", "Winter Grass", "Artistic Essays", "Shensha Collection"，Chief editor of "Dream of Red Mansions Dictionary", "General History of Chinese Art", etc.。There is also an interpretation of "A Dream of Red Mansions"，Also includes interpretations of other classics，With comments on modern literature，Especially some insights about Mr. Lu Xun，There are also opinions and creations in art criticism。In addition，He also wrote many prefaces, postscripts and essays，Later, he also wrote a personal autobiography，From ancient times to contemporary times，From macro to micro，From literature to art，For Chinese classical literature、Modern Literature、Academic research on Chinese opera and writings on literary and artistic trends by cultural scholars，Dedicated my life’s efforts，Broad academic vision，Outstanding achievements。
The third point，Mr. Li is a man who insists on academic truth，People who dare to challenge authority。When he was in college，I just admire Lu Xun，Appreciating Li Zhi，Admire Yang Xiangkui、Lu Ying and others，Inherited the literature and style of the previous scholars，Newborn calves are not afraid of tigers。Out of a spirit of argumentation and truth-seeking，He dares to show his thoughts，Dare to launch literary criticism and challenge to academic authority。For example, when he was a student at Shanda University, he dared to discuss the Song Jiang issue with the famous professor Zhang Zhengxang。1954，He and Mr. Lan Ling wrote two articles on "Dream of Red Mansions" to discuss with Mr. Yu Pingbo，voted for "Literature, History and Philosophy"。"Literature, History and Philosophy" has always adhered to the policy of academic research on "a hundred schools of thought contending"，Encourage and support young people to think independently，Challenging academic authority，Never show favoritism，The article refuting Yu is in line with the purpose of the journal。Of course，Li Xifan never dreamed of it，The commentary on "Dream of Red Mansions" written by myself and Lan Ling using Marxist historical materialism actually alarmed Chairman Mao，It happened to fit Mao Zedong’s theoretical views on literature and art and the needs of ideological education at that time, and became the “trigger” that set off a large-scale ideological and political movement in the 1950s，He has also become a well-known "little figure in the Red School"。This shows that he is not afraid of academic authority，Dare to express your true insights。
Point 4，He is a very sentimental person。We can read his autobiography，Understand his spiritual history，You can also read his collection of prose essays，Feel his mental journey and touching feelings。And he is an outstanding alumnus of Shandong University，Pay close attention to the development and construction of Shandong University School of Liberal Arts。Give an example，Second half of 2006，At that time, the School of Liberal Arts of Shandong University held the "International Academic Symposium on General Knowledge of Ancient Novels"，Covers ancient literature、Modern and contemporary literature、Three majors in Chinese language and philology，One hundred and forty-fifty scholars attended the conference，Very large。At that time, I was still studying for a Ph.D. in Shandong University，Follow Teacher Wang Ping as a student，Responsible for busy meeting affairs，Just in time to receive Mr. Li，Through contact, I feel that Mr. Li is very amiable and approachable，No airs of leadership at all。And he also made suggestions for the development of Shandong University，And has been serving as an editorial board member of "Literature, History and Philosophy"。
Although I have not had much contact with Mr. Li Xifan，But we can feel his personality charm from his words and writing，And his academic contributions and social reputation are worthy of our attention and attention。
