钱穆昨天死了，活了九十六岁。
我认识钱穆在三十八年前，一九五二年。那时我是高二学生，由于徐复观的儿子徐武军的介绍，钱穆和我做了一次谈话，他为人谦和，给我很深的印象；我年少多才，大概也给他一些印象。第二年他回香港，收到我质疑他书中错误的信，他回信给我，送书给我，对一个十八岁的青年人如此因材施教，真可看出他具有教育家的风度。
按说以钱穆对我的赏识、以我对他的感念，一般的读书人，很容易就会朝“变成钱穆的徒弟”路线发展，可是，我的发展却一反其道。在我思想定型的历程里，我的境界，很快就跑到前面去了。我十八岁以后，未再跟钱穆有任何来往，并且三十多年来，对他有不少批评，如今钱穆死了，看到报上的胡乱报导，感而对他有以定位如下：
一、钱穆在古典方面的朴学成就，大体上很有成绩，当然也闹大笑话。例如他考证孙武和孙膑为同一个人，并以此成名。但一九七二年山东临沂银雀山的古墓“孙子”出土，证明了孙武是孙武、孙膑是孙膑，证明了所谓朴学，不过乃尔！
二、钱穆的史学是反动派的史学。他在“国史大纲”开宗明义，说一国之国民“对其本国已往历史略有所知者，尤必附随一种对其本国已往历史之温情与敬意”。“至少不会对其本国已往历史抱一种偏激的虚无主义，即视本国已往历史为无一点有价值，并无一处足以使彼满意。”事实上，真正的历史家是不可以这样感情用事的。钱穆的史学却是搅成一团的产品，他似乎对“本国已往历史”太“满意”了，结果做了太多太多的曲解与巧辩。今天中国时报登“论民国以来史学，无出钱先生之右者”（龚鹏程语）全是胡说。民国以来的史学家，在解释上，高过钱穆的太多了。钱穆的老师吕思勉就出其右。老师前进，学生落伍，只有钱穆那种自成一家的迂腐，才有此怪现象。
三、今天联合报登“民初有南钱（穆）北胡（适）之称”（张玉法语），也全是胡说，钱穆以一中学毕业生、一中学教员，受胡适提拔，北上入京，已是一九三○年以后的事，又何来“民初”？钱穆声名，也从未达到有南北之说与胡适相对过，这是今日贴金耳。不过，在胡适有生之年，在钱穆七十四岁以前，他未能成为中央研究院院士，我始终认为对钱穆不公道。钱穆的杂七杂八的怪说固不足论，但他在古典方面的朴学成就，却比姚从吾等学人更该先入选成院士。
四、钱穆作为史学家，本已今人皱眉；但他不以此力足，倾余生之力，还要做经学家、理学家，甚至俨然当代朱子。这就更闹了大笑话。严格说，他在这一方面的著作多是失败的，更见其迂腐。他晚年以卜筮算命，更见其上学朱子手法，而头脑不清则一。
五、钱穆与当权者关系，是可耻的。蒋介石利用钱穆的反动，来哄抬政权；钱穆利用蒋介石的反动，来得君行道，结果，人越丢越大。被蒋介石“倡优畜之”的结果，他曲学阿世，大儒立场尽失，去朱子远矣！
六、蒋介石“用公帑建宾馆”，为钱穆安老于“素书楼”，证明了双方都公私不清。今天中央日报登钱穆搬出“素书楼”，是“国家和社会不尊重知识分子”（裴普贤语），其实，请钱穆不要霸占公产、请他迁出白住二十二年的豪华住宅，正是大家所以尊重他。钱穆谈了一辈子“义利之辨”，自己义利当头，却贪鄙如此，实在有愧晚节。“君子之爱人也以德。细人之爱人也以姑息”，逼他搬家，正显示了大家爱他以德，他在搬家三个月后死去，颇有“曾子易箦”味道，这全靠钱太太深明大义之功。中国时报登“显示了他对辞受之际自有分寸”（龚鹏程语），其实白住了二十二年而受之不辞，这又何来“分寸”？搬家以后，他喃喃以我要回家（指“素书楼”）为言，足见其本人“义利之辨”，老犹不清，幸赖豪门之女钱太太之扶持，方得以“一身傲骨”脱走，呜呼，亦云险矣！
一九九○年八月三十一日
Ch'ien Mu died yesterday and lived to be ninety-six. I knew Ch'ien Mu thirty-eight years ago, 1952. I was a sophomore in high school at the time, and thanks to the introduction of Xu Fuguan's son, Ch'ien Mu, I had a conversation with him. I was impressed by his gentleness; I was young and talented, and I probably made some impression on him. When he returned to Hong Kong the next year, he received a letter from me questioning the errors in his book. He wrote back to me and sent me books. With Ch'Ien Mu's admiration for me and my gratitude for him, it would have been easy for the average scholar to follow the path of "becoming Ch'Ien Mu's apprentice," but I did the opposite. In the course of my thought-shaping, my state soon ran to the front. I haven't had any contact with Ch'ien Mu since I was eighteen years old, and I've had a lot of criticism of him for over thirty years, and now that Ch'Ien Mu is dead, I've read all the wrong things in the newspapers, first, Ch'ien MU's achievements in the study of the classics, which are generally very successful, of course, also make a big joke. For example, he became famous for identifying Sun Tzu and Sun Bin as the same person. But in 1972, the tomb of "Sun Tzu" in Yinqueshan, Linyi, Shandong, was unearthed, proving that Sun Tzu was Sun Tzu and Sun Bin was Sun Bin! Ch'Ien Mu's history is the history of the reactionaries. He opened the "outline of national history" by saying that a nation's people "who have a little knowledge of their own past history must attach a kind of warmth and respect to their own past history". "at least not in the extreme nihilism of a country's past history, which is nothing of value and nothing satisfactory." In fact, a true historian should not be so sentimental. Ch'Ien Mu's historiography, however, was a jumble of products, and he seemed too "satisfied" with "his country's past history," and as a result made too many distortions and polemics. Today's China times article "on the history since the Republic of China, no money to the right of Mr."(Gong Pengcheng language) is all nonsense. Since the Republic of China, historians, in the interpretation, higher than Ch'ien Mu too much. Ch'Ien Mu's teacher, LÜ Simian, was the best. The teacher advances, the student falls behind, and only Ch'Ien Mu's self contained pedantry can do that. (3) in today's joint newspaper, "in the early years of the Republic of China, there was the name of Nanqian (mu) and Beihu (Shi)"(Zhang Yu's French) , which was also nonsense. Qian Mu, a middle school graduate and a middle school teacher, was promoted by Hu Shih and went north to Beijing, it was already after 1930. How could it come to the beginning of the Republic of China? Ch'Ien Mu's fame, and never quite the opposite of that of Hu Shih, is the gold ear of the day. However, in Hu Shih's lifetime, until he was seventy four years old, he failed to become a member of Academia Sinica, and I still think it is unfair to Ch'ien Mu. Ch'Ien Mu's motley theories are not to be taken for granted, but his achievements in the classics are more deserving of being elected to the academy than those of Yao from us. Ch'ien Mu frowned as a historian, but instead of doing so, he spent the rest of his life as a Confucian scholar, a neo-confucianist, and even as a contemporary Zhu Xi. That's even more of a joke. Strictly speaking, his works in this area are mostly failures, more see its pedantry. In his later years, he practiced divination and fortune-telling. In his studies, Zhu Xi practiced divination, but his mind was not clear. 5. Ch'Ien Mu's relationship with authority is disgraceful. Chiang Kai-shek used Ch'ien Mu's reaction to oust the regime; Ch'ien Mu used Chiang Kai-shek's reaction to gain control, and as a result, he lost more and more people. By Chiang Kai-shek "advocate superior livestock" as a result, he qu Xue a shi, the position of Confucianism lost, to Zhu Xi far! Chiang Kai-shek's "building a hotel with public money" and Qian Mu'an's old age in the "plain book building" prove that both sides are not clear about public and private affairs. Today, the central daily newspaper reported that Qian Mu moved out of the "Su Shu Lou", saying that "the state and society do not respect intellectuals"(in Pei Puxian's words) . In fact, please Ch'ien Mu not to monopolize public property and ask him to move out of the luxurious residence where he has lived for twenty-two free years, exactly. That's why we respect him. Ch'ien Mu talked all his life about "the discrimination of righteousness and benefit", his righteousness and benefit, but such greed, really ashamed of late festival. "the lover of a gentleman is also virtuous. The lover of a fine man is also appeasement." Force him to move, is to show that we love him to Germany, he moved three months after his death, quite "Zengzi Easy Ze" taste, it is all thanks to the money wife deep sense of justice. The china times has "shown that he knows what he is doing"(in Gong's words) , but he has been living here for twenty-two free years. How can he do that? After the move, he mumbled to me to go home (refers to the "Su Shu Lou") as the words, showing his own "righteousness and interests of the debate", old still unclear, thanks to the support of the daughter of the powerful family Mrs Qian, was able to "a proud man" off, whoo-hoo! That was close! August thirty-one, 1990 标题: 我最难忘的一位学者：为钱穆定位作者: 李敖
