Mr. Zu-Yi Jiang (1913-1992), son of Mr. Bo-Chian Jiang, was born in Fuyang of Zhejiang province in China. Having graduated from the Wuxi College of Chinese Education in Jiangsu (now Soochow University), he became a Chinese teacher of the West Zhejiang Third Senior High School and Fuyang Teacher College. Later, he was appointed to teach at Shanghai Municipal College of Education (now Shanghai Normal University), Zhejiang University, Zhejiang College of Education and Hangzhou University. He had also worked as the editor and reviewer of the Shanghai World Bookstore, and the chief editor of a monthly of the Zhengzhong Bookstore, New Student. In 1940s, Mr. Zu-Yi Jiang and his father were invited by the World Bookstore to write and compile a series of books for the youngster, Chinese Self-Learning Guide. This compilation covered traditional Chinese scriptures, literature and linguistics, and Mr. Zu-Yi Jiang was responsible for the literature and linguistic sections. His renowned book, Chapter and Sentences (also known as Principles of Writing), was included. He also wrote books about good writing skills and rhetoric including Writing Guide for Self-Learners, Treatments for Problematic Writing, and Article Writing Guidelines etc. In Chapter and Sentences, he presented knowledge about linguistics and rhetoric in the style of short stories whereas in Treatments for Problematic Writing, he employed medical terms to similize and discuss about common writing mistakes, for example, ＂sluggish,＂ ＂osteomalacia,＂ ＂dressing problem,＂ ＂excessive excitatory sickness,＂ ＂obesity,＂ ＂emaciation,＂ ＂disability＂ and ＂anemia.＂ Writing in unique writing style, he pinpointed common mistakes in words, idioms, grammar, empty words and rhetoric, and discussed about how to avoid making those mistakes. This book showed his unique writing style. There were many reprints of Mr. Jiang's literature and linguistic books in Taiwan that were very popular. His books revealed many critical points about rhetoric so have earned respect from experts in Chinese rhetoric. However, Mr. Zu-Yi Jiang is now well known for his contribution to theories of literature and art, and history of Chinese literature criticism, and very few people know about his dedication to literature and linguistic education in his early years. His books unfortunately have been distorted or even intentionally prohibited due to political interference. In this study, Mr. Zu-Yi Jiang's contribution to modern Chinese education in his early years was objectively discussed with emphasis on reading and writing.
