西方人眼中的中國哲學家
林語堂的跨文化之旅
永不停息的思想探索
林語堂的跨文化心路歷程，現代中國文化體驗的一面鏡子
錢鎖橋的《林語堂傳：中國文化重生之道》，以現代中國知識思想史，尤其是中美知識交往史為背景，追溯林語堂穿梭中西文化的跨國之旅。林語堂中、英、德的三語創作，是展露中國現代文化最重要的遺產之一；林語堂的跨文化心路歷程，是現代中國文化體驗的一面鏡子。
本書圍繞林語堂探尋「新的中國」、「新的文明」之主軸，展示他如何作為一名自由主義批評家，堅定有力地捍衛「德先生」；展示他如何重新發掘中國傳統文化，發展出一套「抒情哲學」，並推向世界大獲成功，從而證明中國傳統文化在中國現代性之路上仍具備可用資源與活力。
無論從人生經歷或批評範疇來看，林語堂的跨文化之旅凸顯其跨國、全球性。在此跨文化轉譯過程中，林語堂的批評視野面向整個現代文明（中國現代性問題為其一部分），而不僅僅侷限於中國民族主義的視角與關懷，對新的中國，甚至這個世界，都深具啟發性。
《林語堂傳：中國文化重生之道》運用大量未經披露或發掘的第一手中、英文資料，以歷史學家的嚴謹考證與跨文化理論視野相結合，重塑林語堂在現代中國文壇，乃至世界文壇的經典地位。

Lin Yutang, for many years the foremost Chinese scholar in the West, died after a long illness last night at Queen Mary Hospital in Hong Kong. He was 80 years old.
Dr. Lin, wno shuttled between nong Kong and his home in Taiwan, was expected to be buried in Taiwan.
Lin Yutang, poet, novelist, historian and philosopher, had no peer as an interpreter to Western minds of the customs, aspirations, fears and thoughts of his people and their country, China, the great and tragic land.
Yet, strive as he did to bring about understanding in the West of the mass of humans that endures despite flood and famine, war and politics, his (1940) and “Vermilion Gate” (1953).
Other popular works included “My Country and My People” (1937) and “The Importance of Living” (1937), which went through 40 editions in the United States and was translated into 15 languages.
Interpreter of East
“Lin Yutang, poet, novelist, historian and philosopher, had no peer as an interpreter to Western minds of the customs, aspirations, fears and thoughts Of his people and their country, China, the great and tragic land.
Yet, strive as he did to bring about understanding in the West of the mass of humans that endures despite flood and famine, war and politics, his efforts did not go uncriticized by the Chinese. Some have conjectured that this was because he “succeeded” (in both the monetary and philosophic senses). It might also have been because he called “all the world my home,” that Chinese traditionalists called him an “opportunist.” It may have been that his examination, often candidly revealing, of the shortcomings and the weaknesses within the Chinese were too sharp—too blunt—for the Chinese mind steeped and schooled in public posture and private thought.
To the Western mind he “humanized” and “modernized” old conceptions of his land and its people. He did this through more than five decades of endless travel, lecturing, teaching and writing.
A lively man of many interests, Dr. Lin was truly bilingual and once said that he was “thinking with the brush in Chinese and thinking with the typewriter in English.” His Chinese‐English dictionary of modern usage, published a few years ago, helped facilitate communications between the world's two largest linguistic groups.
Among his other best‐known works were “Wisdom of China,” “Wisdom of China and India,” published in the 1940's, and the earlier “Wisdom of Confucius.” Dr. Lin was repeatedly offered high posts in the Chinese Nationalist Government on Taiwan but declined. An anti‐Communist, Dr. Lin explained: “Every person has definite political views, but have never been willing to sacrifice to politics my life as a writer.”
Beginning with his book “My Country and My People” which, in 1935, burst like a shell over the Western world, to “Pagan to Christian,” published in 1960, he turned out work with regularity on scores of subjects.
Western critics hailed, with rare dissent, his work and his “revelations” of what China “really is like.” Few authors have enjoyed so nearly unanimous favorable reception, for Dr. Lin wrote generally from the realm of the “unknown” to an audience waiting to be fascinated.
In Chinese politics he observed the long journey from Sun Yat‐sen and the glorious revolution‐to‐freedom after the turn of the century, through the war tribulations and subsequent failures of Generalissimo Chiang Kai‐shek, the Nationalist leader, and the loss of nation to the Communists.
Through this long period he remained the articulate, broadseeing chronicler of China.
Dr. Lin was born Oct. 10, 1895 in Fukien Province on the Southeast Coast of China, a son of Lin Chiseng and Yang SunIming. After private tutoring he was accepted at St. John's University in Shanghai. Upon his graduation from that Christian missionary school, he entered Harvard University's Graduate School in 1919 to continue his studies in comparative literature and essay writing.
He completed his graduate studies and then traveled and studied in France and Germany. In 1923 he returned to China, with a Ph. D. in philology from Leipzig University, to become Professor of English Philology at Peking National University. But three years later he was forced, along with other alleged “radical” professors, to leave the capital.
He moved to Amoy University in the south of China to become dean of the institution's Arts College.
Founded Humor Magazine
Active in inaugurating reforms of old methods and thoughts there, he attracted at tention in the Wuhan Government. In 1927, he Icft the classrooms forever and became Secretary of the Foreign Affairs Ministry of the Wuhan Government. When a split developed in that regime in 1927, he left politics and devoted himself ex clusively to creative writing.
Three years later he joined the Academia Sinica (a research academy) as foreign language editor and research fellow in philology. He contributed to a number of Chinese publications. These efforts were collected under the titles “Philological Essays” and “Critical Essays.”
He was the inventor of an index system for Chinese characters and aided in the formulation of a Romanization system of written Chinese. In the same period he founded and edited The Analects Fortnightly, the first humor magazine ever to appear in China.
Dr. Lin returned to the United States in 1935 with the manuscript of “My Country and My People.” Then followed “The Importance of Living” (1937); “Wisdom of Confucius” (1938); “Moment in Peking” (1939); “With. Love and Irony” (1940) “A Leaf in the Storm” (1941; “Wisdom of China and India” (1942); “Between Tears and Laughter” (1943); “The Vigil of a Nation” (1945); “Wisdom of Laotse and Chinatown Family” (1948).
Also, “Wisdom of China” (1949); “Peace Is in the Heart” (1950); “On the Wisdom of America".(1950); “Widow, Nun and Courtesan” (1951); “Famous Chinese Short Stories” (1952); “The Vermilion Gate” (1953); “The Unexpected 1sland” (1955); “Lady ‘ Wu” (1956); “The Secret Name” (1959); “From Pagan to Christian” (1960).
During World War II, Dr. Lin devoted much time to United China Relief. In the postwar years, he wrote and lectured about the dangers of Communist growth.
In 1972; he told a New York Times correspondent in Hong Kong that he considered his dictionary the “crown” but not the end of, his career. “When retire at 80,” he said, “one of the things I want to do is improve my calligraphy” — the brush writing of Chinese characters regarded by Dr. Lin and generations of his countrymen as China's highest art form.
Dr. Lin, who lived with his family in the United States from 1936 to 1966, was married in 1919 and spent his honeymoon in New York City, which he came to regard as a second home.
He is survived by his wife and two daughters.
