Zhang Taiyan de baihuawen / Wu Qiren [ed.]
張太炎的白話文 / 吳齊仁[編纂]
Shanghai: Taidong tushuju [1921]

Zhang Taiyan (1868-1936) is not only one of the most important personalities
of the late Qing, but also an author notoriously difficult to read.
Surprisingly, he wrote a few pieces in the medium of the new vernacular,
baihuawen. These, seven in all, have been put together and published in 1921
by Wu Qiren; they deal with 'The Purpose and Method of Studying Abroad,'
'The Source of Chinese Culture and the development of Modern Scholarship,'
'General Knowlegde and Education', 'The Overall Meaning of the term jing
(classic)', 'The Basics of Education must take their Starting Point from Our
State and Our Mind,' 'On the General Issue of the [Warring States]
Philosophers,' and 'A Short note on Chinese Charatcers'. None of them seem
to have made it into the 6 volumes of the Zhang Taiyan quanji, the Collected
Works of Zhang Taiyan (1982 ff). The editor praises them as "models of
baihua wen" of which at this time there were very few. A copy of the
collection of Zhang's baihua essays has been generously made available to
the Institute us by Prof. Chen Pingyuan from Beida. It joins a number of
other works and early handbooks available here on the early history of
baihuawen.
