Dai Yi, male, Han nationality, born on September 10, 1926, is a native of Changshu, Jiangsu. He joined the Communist Party of China in 1954. In 1944, he was admitted to Shanghai Jiao Tong University, and in 1946, he entered Peking University as an undergraduate. In 1948, he entered North China University as a graduate student. After the establishment of Chinese University in 1950, he successively worked in the Teaching and Research Department of Chinese Revolutionary History, the Chinese History Research Office, the Qing History Research Group, and the Qing History Research Institute. In 1956, he was named associate professor, in 1978, he was named the first batch of doctoral supervisors in China approved by the Academic Degree Committee in 1981, and in 2009, he was hired as the first batch of first-class professors of Chinese min University (later converted to honorary first-class professors). From 1981 to 1987, he served as director of the Institute of Qing History.
Professor Dai Yi is one of the few Qing historians in contemporary China who can understand both the history of the early and late Qing Dynasty. Whether it is to open up important research fields with his personal academic achievements, or to promote the development of Chinese Qing history research with his prestige and influence, he has made great achievements and contributions. In 1958, he published Manuscripts of Modern Chinese History (Volume I), which was well-known throughout the country, which was one of the earliest works on modern history written under the guidance of Marxist theory in New China, and was widely selected as a textbook by the history departments of colleges and universities across the country. In 1977, he was commissioned to write the "Sino-Russian Treaty of Nebuchu in 16**", which had an important impact. In the early 80s of the 20th century, he edited the "Concise History of the Qing Dynasty" with more than 700,000 words, which became the first historical work of the Qing Dynasty in China to systematically and comprehensively study the history of the Qing Dynasty before the Opium War under the guidance of Marxist historical materialism, and was rated as a national excellent textbook by the former State Education Commission.
Professor Dai Yi has organized a number of Qing history projects that have been included in the national key planning. In the mid-80s of the 20th century, he presided over the compilation of the "Dictionary of Chinese History: Qing History Volume", "Encyclopedia of China, History Volume", etc. In the 90s, he published his masterpiece "Emperor Qianlong and His Times", etc., and successively presided over the compilation of large-scale book series such as "Biography of Qing Dynasty Figures", "China and the World in the 18th Century", and "Qing Tongjian". The main collections include "Frost Collection", "Fanlu Collection", "Yubing Collection", etc., and he has written or edited more than 40 books and published more than 800 articles. In 2018, he published 12 kinds of 14 volumes of Dai Yi's Collected Works, bringing together his main works and about 7 million words, witnessing the development trajectory of China's historical research, especially the discipline of Qing history, since the founding of the People's Republic of China, and won the first prize of the Beijing Philosophy and Social Sciences Outstanding Achievement Award.
Professor Dai Yi has long called on the state to compile Qing history, and led the Institute of Qing History of Chinese University to make unremitting efforts to achieve it. In the autumn of 1965, the first premier instructed the Central Propaganda Department to prepare for the revision of the "History of the Qing Dynasty", and the Central Propaganda Department decided to establish a compilation committee for the history of the Qing Dynasty, and Professor Dai Yi was the youngest member. In August 2002, the National Qing History Compilation Project was officially launched, and Professor Dai Yi was appointed as the director of the National Qing History Compilation Committee, working selflessly for more than 20 years, devoting all his efforts to promoting the orderly development of the Qing History compilation project, uniting thousands of experts and scholars, and completing the new revision of the Qing History 103 volumes, 105 volumes, more than 3,200 words for review by October 2018. The new revision of the History of the Qing Dynasty continues the tradition of historical revision in the past dynasties, and is an important attempt to explore the discipline system, academic system and discourse system of history with Chinese characteristics based on the history of dynasties in the new era.
Professor Dai Yi is a "great gentleman" who unifies "economic teachers" and "human teachers", and strives to carry forward the spirit of educators, and has cultivated a large number of historical talents, including the first foreign doctor of liberal arts and the first female doctor of history in New China.
Professor Dai Yi has made outstanding contributions, and has been rated as an advanced worker on the higher education front, a model worker in the national education system, and has been awarded the Wu Yuzhang Lifetime Achievement Award, the first Golden Globe Award of the Chinese Education Association of Pennington, Hong Kong, and the Ho Chi Minh Medal of Vietnam. His academic works have also won the first prize of the Beijing Philosophy and Social Sciences Outstanding Achievement Award, the first prize of Wu Yuzhang Humanities and Social Sciences, and the National Five One Project Award.
Qing history is the destination of my philosophy, the support of my spirit, and the home of life. Professor Dai Yi has truly done his best for the research and compilation of Qing history, and he has died. The death of Professor Dai Yi is not only a great loss to Chinese Renmin University, but also a great loss to the Chinese historical community. His noble character and outstanding contributions will always be remembered in our hearts!
Dai Yi's way of learning
Dai Yi summarized the study as four realms: diligence, hardship, happiness and fascination.
There is no shortcut to learning, and diligence is the foundation of the roots. Eyes are diligent, read more books; Be diligent in listening, listen to the teacher's teachings, classmates' discussions and various opinions and suggestions; Be diligent in taking notes and writing articles; Be diligent in running the library, be diligent in consulting various materials, and participate in various learning activities. Only by being diligent and diligent can you do university questions.
The second realm of learning is suffering. Dai Yi once sighed: "Studying is to sail in the vast sea, and only by sitting on a boat made of the word 'bitter' can we reach the other side of 'happiness'." "When you encounter difficulties in reading, you must endure the bitterness and anxiety and have the spirit of sitting on a cold bench. And suffering and happiness complement each other, there is joy in the bitterness of reading, and there is joy in the bitterness, and the joy comes in it. When the doubts are solved from the books and suddenly enlightened, the spiritual satisfaction and pleasure are difficult to communicate with outsiders.
The last realm of learning is to be fascinated, to the extreme, to be naturally fascinated. Fascination is a strong and deep feeling, to love one's profession to the extent that "one day is not as good as three autumns", no force can separate oneself from books, which is an important condition for success. From diligence to hardship, from happiness to obsession, and after being fascinated, you will be more diligent and persistent, and the four realms run through the cycle, spiraling, and constantly improve the realm of learning.
In addition to Dai Yi's own induction of the four realms of learning, he also put forward the "four essentials" for historians, that is, four requirements. Dai Yi explained: "It was said in the past that an excellent historian should have historiography, historical knowledge, historical talent, and historical morality. I have translated these eight words into 'information, thought, literary style, and morality'. The meanings are not exactly the same, but they are still largely close. 'Learning' refers to knowledge, materials, and information; 'Knowledge' refers to theories and thoughts; 'Cai' refers to literary brilliance and talent; 'Virtue' refers to morality, personality. This is a four-pronged requirement for historians. Every historian must work hard in these four aspects, work hard, and constantly improve in order to become a qualified and even an excellent historian. ”
The four realms of learning and the four aspects of learning should inspire the younger generations of historians, and Dai Yi is strict with himself and rigorous in his studies, so as to become a generation of masters. He is also a "revolutionary soldier", who accepts and uses the theoretical methods of Marxist historical materialism to explore the laws of history, and his academic process is closely linked with the revolutionary movement, and his theory adapts to the times and tests his true knowledge in practice.
In the Iron Lion Hutong, in a red brick house behind the Qing History Research Institute, Dai Yi lived here for more than half a century. "The hair is upside down, and the Jews are upside down. History has left traces on Dai Yi, and he also uses pen and paper to tell the changes of history.
Dai Yi devoted his life to Qing history, as he wrote: "Qing history is my major, and I will devote my life's energy to it, which can be said to be sleeping in Si, eating in Si, learning in Si, and walking in Si." Qing history is the destination of my philosophy, the support of my spirit, and the home of life. But when people used the honorific title of "Qing Shi Taidou" Dai Yi, he waved his hand again and again: "Don't dare to be, I don't dare to be, I'm just a history cultivator." ”
Although he is a big deal, Dai Yi has always been humble, generous and approachable. When the members of the Qing History Compilation Committee met, Dai Yi put forward an idea several times, and the deputy directors opposed it one after another, but Dai Yi was not angry, but always adhered to academic democracy and encouraged everyone to express their opinions. Yang Nianqun, a professor at the Institute of Qing History, wrote: "Being taught and learning with Mr. is like sitting and discussing the Tao between teachers and students in the academy, discussing and debating, and Xun Xun has an ancient style. Every time a new book comes out, Dai Yi will also write a book for the younger generations and neatly stamp the book stamp.
In addition, what is admirable is Dai Yi's fiery feelings for his family and country. In the 60s of the 20th century, not long after the Zhenbaodao incident, Dai Yi took the Sino-Russian Treaty of Nebuchu as the topic, with strong national feelings, and wrote the book "The Sino-Russian Treaty of Nibuchu in 16**" from a calm and objective standpoint, which provided a strong historical basis for Sino-Soviet negotiations and also created a precedent for the study of the frontier history of the Qing Dynasty. At the time of the "South China Sea Arbitration Case," Dai Yi specifically instructed that a chapter on the sea should be set up in the "History of the Qing Dynasty and Border Political Chronicles" to clearly explain the history of the Qing Dynasty's exercise of sovereignty and jurisdiction over Nanhai Zhudao and related sea areas. Dai Yi attached great importance to the issue of border governance in the Qing Dynasty, and repeatedly told experts that the historical facts of the signing of the border treaty must be accurate, expressing his strong concern for the country's territorial sovereignty.
The high mountains are safe and up, and they are in vain. Mr. Dai Yi adhered to the historiographical pursuit of compiling the "History of the Qing Dynasty" with his lifelong dedication, shouldered the "great man of the country" with his life's selflessness, and supported people's praise for him with his life's hard work - the master of Qing history.
