Features: Mr. Tong Shuyi, styled Pisheng, styled Yong'an, alias Wu Liu, Feng Hong, Feng Mei, Feng Youmei, Zhang Juanyi, Ne, Tong Yi, was born on May 26, 1908, in Wuhu, Anhui, and passed away on January 8, 1968, in Jinan, Shandong. His original hometown was Yinxian, Zhejiang. During the late Qing Dynasty, his ancestors served as a Taoren (provincial inspector) in Anhui, and the family moved to Anhui. After the 1911 Revolution, they settled in Shanghai. Mr. Tong Shuyi was a modern historian of China, achieving remarkable accomplishments in fields such as ancient history, ancient texts, and psychiatric research. Mr. Tong Shuyi came from a scholarly family and suffered from poor health since childhood, so he received traditional education at home. With his extraordinary memory, he memorized several classical texts, and even in his later years, he could recite them fluently. This laid an extremely solid academic foundation for his scholarly pursuits. In 1929, Mr. Tong Shuyi engaged in the study of "Discerning Ancient History." In his self-composed chronology, he mentioned being deeply influenced by it, stating that when he began writing in 1933, he adopted the approach of the "Discerning Ancient History" school, with Gu Jiegang as his private master. In 1934, he met Mr. Gu Jiegang in Hangzhou and agreed to come to Beijing the following year to serve as Mr. Gu Jiegang's research assistant.
