Characters and deeds

In 1895, Wang Kangnian, a Hangzhou native who was famous in journalism and once served as an aide to Zhang Zhidong, governor of Huguang, joined the "strong society" in Shanghai. He advocated reform to make the country strong, so he discussed with celebrities from all walks of life the reasons why "China is poor and weak, and the west is rich and strong", and put forward: "it is not enough to reform the law unless we change the course of education, politics, and the great principles of governing the country and the people." In the summer of the same year, Wang Kangnian returned to his hometown of Hangzhou and discussed with his friend Chen handi to build a new Chongshi school in Zhejiang, which was approved by Zhu Zhi, a Beijing official who was living for the aged. At that time, 22-year-old Chen handi was eagerly looking forward to "promoting education and striving for self-improvement", so he went around with Wang Kangnian, Zhu Zhi and others, trying to advocate the significance of establishing a new school. However, due to the obstruction of Zhejiang officials and gentry, they failed to fulfill their wishes for a long time. When Chen handi and others were running around to establish the school, Lin Qi was transferred from Quzhou to Hangzhou in February 1896. Liao Shoufeng was also transferred to Zhejiang governor in the same year. Lin Qi was a Juren of jiazike (1864) in Tongzhi and a Jinshi of bingzike (1876) in Guangxu of Qing Dynasty. He successively served as a scholar of Hanlin academy, a scholar of Shaanxi, a censor of zhejiangdao, and later as a magistrate of Quzhou. His 20-year career as an official made him deeply aware of the importance of reserving talents and valuing reality. Therefore, he agreed with Wang Kangnian, Chen handi and Zhu Zhi's idea of founding a new school. With the support of governor Liao Shoufeng, he withstood various pressures and took advantage of the opportunity when he was ordered to investigate and deal with the illegal cases of monks in PuCi temple in Hangzhou and lost the property of the temple. With the great promotion and assistance of Wang Kangnian, Chen handi and Zhu Zhi, Lin Qi finally established the "Qiushi academy" in the first month of Ding you (1897). The so-called "seeking truth" means "seeking practical learning, preserving right and eliminating wrong". Why not call it "academy" instead of "school"? Chen handi wrote an article on the anniversary of Zhejiang University in 1947: "considering officials and gentry or obstruction, he named it Qiushi Academy.". Lin Qi was also the general manager of the Academy, Lu maoxun was the supervisor of the Academy, and Chen handi was the assistant supervisor of the Academy. Chen Han was taught by his family. He was very conscientious and talented. Although the work of Wendu Zhaiwu was very complicated and the income was not high, he "worked hard every day, and his spirit was admirable." In April 1898, Lu maoxun took the examination of the Ministry of rites, and Chen handi was appointed as the acting supervisor; in July, Lu maoxun reported his victory in Chunwei, joined the ci poetry forest, and became the premier of the Academy, and Chen handi was promoted from wenduzhaiwu to the supervisor. with the continuous upsurge of the reform movement, studying in Japan has become the common voice of the people. On August 2 of the 24th year of Guangxu (1898), with the consent of Emperor Guangxu, "selecting and sending students to stay in Japan became a major national decision.". As a matter of fact, as early as when Chen Han was appointed as the acting supervisor, according to the requirements of Liao Shoufeng, governor of Zhejiang Province, and the opinions of Lin Qi, it was agreed that the Qiushi academy would send four students to study in Japan, including he Jihou, Chen Jishu, Lu Shifen and Qian Chengzhi. (Zhejiang Wubei school also selected Xiao Xingyuan, Xu Fangqian, Duan Lanfang, Tan Xingpei and other four students from Hunan and Hubei to study in Japan.) Zhejiang's move became "the first initiative of sending students from various provinces to study in Japan" and "opened a precedent for China's movement of studying in Japan.". In order to reduce the burden of international students (200 yuan per person per year), Chen handi tried every means to solve it through various channels. In a letter he wrote to Wang Kangnian in 1900, he said that Qiushi academy "extracted 10% of the funds of each bureau, and got more than 500 yuan a month. It also saved the classics and earned interest. The official course awards were allocated to Qiushi, and the annual income was 89000 yuan." Later, due to the expansion of the school, he "asked the state and county Ding Cao Ping Yu (referring to the provincial taxes) to allocate more than 3000 yuan." Chen handi's proposal to draw educational funds from taxes shows that the source of funds of Qiushi academy has changed from traditional to modern. Chen Han worked very hard because of the turbulent political situation after his first term in prison. First of all, "Kang Liang was in charge of politics", and the court repeatedly ordered schools to be set up in various places. Therefore, the number of students in Qiushi Academy was increased by 60 in addition to the original "inner students". In this way, each student has to pay a tuition fee of $24 in addition to his own meals. Chen had to buy land and build more school buildings. In August, when there was a coup, the imperial edict contracted. The construction and equipment cost of the prison was more than 6000 yuan, and it took a lot of trouble to get back. After the coup, many students dropped out of school one after another, leaving only one or two out of ten who were determined and tested. Chen handi not only worked hard for the college affairs, but also took great care of the students. Gengzi (1900), the Eight Allied forces captured Beijing, the emperor and empress went to Xi'an. A group of progressive students, such as Jiang Fangzhen, were very angry at the court's humiliation and incompetence, so they set up an "inspirational society" and published articles criticizing the current politics to attract the attention of the authorities. Worried that they would be persecuted, Chen handi warned Jiang Fangzhen, "you should take political injustice for granted, but you should not leave any trace. You should avoid writing." In the winter of that year, Tang Cai often organized a "self-supporting army" in Hankou, where he was killed. Jiang Baili was indignant and wrote poems to mourn. Due to the pressure from the authorities, the Academy intends to remove him. But soon, Qiushi academy sent 18 people to study in Japan, including Jiang Fangzhen, Jiang zungui and Wang Jiagui. Later, Jiang Fangzhen became an outstanding strategist and military theorist in China. After gengzi (1900), people of insight proposed to set up universities in various provinces. In 1901, Xin Chou was renamed "Zhejiang Qiushi University". Renyin (1902) changed his name from "seeking truth" to "Zhejiang University" and expanded the number of students to 120. At that time, Lu maoxun had already entered Beijing, and Lao Naixuan was the Prime Minister of the school. For various reasons, Chen handi resigned from the academy and left Qiushi Academy. After that, Chen Han went to Japan to study. After the revolution of 1911, he went on the political career. He successively served as the office of flood disaster supervision office, the director of printing and casting Bureau, the Secretary of the presidential office, the Secretary General of the State Council, and the member of the Senate. Academically, he has been a member of the National Palace Museum, a member of the National Palace Museum, and a compiler of the Qing History Museum. In his later years, Chen Han lived in Shanghai and devoted himself to painting and calligraphy. Lin Qi served as the governor of Hangzhou for four years (1896-1900). As a pioneer of modern education in Hangzhou, he successively founded "Qiushi academy" (the predecessor of Zhejiang University), "Zhejiang silkworm school" (the predecessor of Zhejiang University of Technology) and "YangZheng school", and cultivated a number of outstanding talents such as Shao Piaoping and Xu shoushang. When he was alive, Lin Qi had a special love for Gushan. He not only enjoyed the scenery of lakes and mountains with his colleagues and friends there, but also commented on Lin Hejing's "plum wife and crane son". He also planted 100 plum trees at the northern foot of Gushan to make Gushan plum forest flourish. In the spring of gengzi (1900), when Lin Qi chanted with his friends, there was a saying that "leave a seat for my famous mountain, watch people's official life and sail across the sea". It can be seen that he had a special feeling for Gushan. Lin Qi died on April 24 (May 22, 1900) in the 26th year of the reign of Emperor Guangxu. He was 62 years old. His family originally planned to transport the coffin back to Fuzhou, but later decided to bury Gu Shan because of the yearning of Yongzhi by Hangzhou people such as Chen handi, Shao Zhang, Chen Jingdi and he xiehou. The official document of the establishment of the society, led by Zhu Yiguan and fan Jiazhang, and signed by Xiang Caixin and Jiang Fangzhen, said that "there is still a space of 6.7% behind the social base, which is not soul". The burial documents were led by fan Jiazhang and signed by Shao Zhang, Chen handi, Chen Jingdi, he Jianshi, Xu shoushang and Ma Xulun. Here, Chen Jingdi is a famous political activist, patriotic Democrat Chen Shutong. He is Chen handi's younger brother. when Lin she was first built, it was a Chinese style bungalow with brick and wood structure. In 1925, Chen Shutong personally drafted the "plan to expand the West Lake Forest society to raise money", together with 60 people including Chen handi, he Jianshi, Jiang Fangzhen, Ma Xulun, etc., to raise money to expand the forest society, and compiled and printed the "twenty five year Memorial Book of the forest society". In the summer of 1946, Zhejiang University demobilized from Zunyi, Meitan and Yongxing in Guizhou Province and returned to Hangzhou. Seeing that "the community gradually collapsed", it initiated the reconstruction of the forest community. It was not until 1948 that the project was gradually completed, and "the statues of Lin gods in the society were engraved with the image of Mr. Le gaoxiaotong, the assistant chief of the society.". But in the end, due to the shortage of funds, the house has not been completed, and the inscriptions have not been carved. In the spring of 1951, Lin she was completed. It is the third Ying of the building, which is more magnificent than the old one. The small building faces north and south, covering an area of 206 square meters and a construction area of 250 square meters. Mr. Zhang Langsheng (Zongxiang), who was the director of Zhejiang Library at that time, was invited to write a record of the forest society, the stele of rebuilding the forest society, because he was "known to the Duke of Lin". It will be the anniversary of the death of Duke Lin on April 20 (lunar calendar) every year. Chen handi and Chen Jingdi (Shutong) brothers made great contributions to the construction and expansion of the Lin society
