When Xia Yifan and his roommates were playing, there was a classmate in the 309 dormitory next door who was about to go to class, and he was passing by the corridor with a book.

I heard the sound of talking and laughing in the 308 bedroom. The probe glanced into the dormitory and reminded him.

"Aren't you going to class anymore?" At this time, Xia Yifan and the others reacted and looked at the class schedule.

It is the ancient Chinese literature taught by Professor Zhou, and because the university graduation grades are credit-based, the main professional courses still need to be taken.

And several people in the 308 dormitory are also professionals.

When they arrived at the classroom, they saw that many of their classmates had already arrived. An old man with gray hair stood in front of the blackboard, pointing out the names of his classmates one by one and taking notes.

After the roll call, Professor Zhou lifted his large-framed glasses with high myopia and said in a hoarse voice, "Hello students, I am the teacher of this class, my name is Zhou Qihua, and students can call me Professor Zhou."

As he spoke, he wrote his name on the blackboard.

Three vigorous chalk words appear on the blackboard. After finishing writing, Professor Zhou turned around and said, "Students, I am very happy that you can come and listen to this course on ancient Chinese literature.

Chinese culture has a history of more than 5,000 years, and has brought together many talented literati and artists. In their essays, we can feel the influence of the changes in that historical period on Chinese literature.

We, as young people of this famous race, should learn this course well.

Now, please open the textbooks in your hands.

The reason why Xia Yifan chose this course was because he was influenced by the old Tao in the Taoist temple. Because Lao Dao is more than 100 years old after all, he was born in the Kangxi era, and his learning form since he was a child was a private school.

Therefore, Xia Yifan followed the old way and came into contact with ancient texts since he was a child. It is said that Lao Dao was also a rich child before he became a monk, and his family situation was also a wealthy big family.

Gu Laodao recalled that when he was nine years old, there were more than 20 cows and horses at home, and two silk shops.

Several uncles and elders in the family have several concubines, and there are more than 30 people who gather together during dinner.

There are countless servants and maids who are called. Lao Dao's father is the second in the family, and Lao Dao belongs to the third generation of young masters when he was a child.

In the employer, in addition to knowing the personal maid in the parents' room, the young old man only knows the old housekeeper at home.

And everyone in the house knows this little master. The young veterans can only know from their uniform clothing that they are their own people.

At this moment, Professor Zhou asked a question to the students under the podium. "Next, I will read an ancient passage to see which student knows which book this sentence comes from, and does not rely on the annotations in the book, but uses his own understanding to say it.

"The predicate of the Mandate of Heaven is sexuality, the predicate of recklessness is the Tao, and the predicate of cultivation is teaching. Those who are in the Tao do not need to leave the Tao, but they can leave the Tao.

Therefore, a gentleman is cautious of what he does not see, and fearful of what he does not hear. Don't see it, don't show it, so the gentleman is cautious. Joy, anger, sorrow and happiness are not in the middle of the statement, and the middle section is the sum of the middle. Those who are in the middle are also the great foundation of the world, and those who are harmonious are also the way of the world. To neutralize, heaven is in the ascendancy, and all things are nurtured. ”。

In the previous imperial examination system, these were classics that were well known to scholars. However, with the integration of modern foreign cultures, we have forgotten these classics, and even excluded them from our own knowledge as dross.

Professor Zhou saw that none of the students could answer his questions completely.

I just want to explain it to you. But seeing that there was another student who was raising his hand to answer, Professor Zhou looked at his confident gaze, and out of respect for this student, Professor Zhou allowed this student to answer, and this student who raised his hand was our Xia Yifan.

Xia Yifan stood up and replied calmly, "This passage is from "The Mean", one of the four books.

My understanding is that without the influence of external objects, the innate manifestation is the true disposition, and the unconscious behavior is the phenomenon of the Tao, and to deliberately cultivate this Tao is edification.

What is it? Time and space are inseparable from it.

If you can leave the Tao for a moment, then it is not what we call the Tao.

Therefore, as a learned gentleman, even when others can't see it, he is always cautious, afraid that he will not hear the truth of the world.

You can't see this thing because it's hidden, and you don't see it because it's so small that you can't see it.

Therefore, the gentleman imitates the law of the Tao and remains cautious and self-disciplined when he is alone. Before the emotion is not expressed, it is called moderation, and when it is expressed on the outside, it can be moderate, that is, neutralization.

It is the conservation of yin and yang energy, which is the foundation of the universe, and it is to restrain behavior, so that the development path of the country and the people can be accessible and unblocked.

Attain the neutrality of heaven and earth and the natural standard. Only then can all things develop in their own way without hindrance".

Professor Zhou's incredulous eyes flashed with gold. Because this question was deliberately asked by Professor Zhou, the purpose was to hit these university coquettes who don't know the height of the sky.

Give them a dismount. These students will listen carefully.

But I didn't expect this freshman to be able to answer, and he had his own unique opinion.

When Xia Yifan sat down after answering, Professor Zhou asked, "Have you read this book before?"

Xia Yifan replied honestly, "Yes, I have liked Chinese studies since I was a child, and I have also studied science a little, so I chose the major of ancient literature."

Professor Zhou is also an old pedant, and when he saw that this junior was also interested in the subjects he studied, he couldn't help but feel energetic.

Professor Zhou walked off the podium with a smile and walked to Xia Yifan's side, "Okay, I'll test you again, just now you have a very subtle explanation of the mean."

I think you have a lot of knowledge of the Four Books and the Five Classics. You said the Four Books before, and now I will test yours of the Five Classics," you say, the meaning of the "Ji hexagram" in the Book of Changes in life.

Hearing Professor Zhou's question, a figure appeared in Xia Yifan's mind, and it was a combination of fire and water.

said casually, "Jiji: Heng Xiao, Li Zhen: the beginning of Ji and the end of chaos."

"Ji, the righteousness of yin and yang, both helpers, yin and yang are extremely good and hexagrams, and the hexagram is on the hill, down from the Ming, borrowing the risk to raise the Ming, to the Ming and the danger, the Ming by the danger, the danger is clear, the danger is clear, the danger is the middle and upper hexagram.

A gentleman thinks about trouble and prevents it. The meaning of the hexagram is that success is like a cooked meal, and a gentleman must have a long-term vision, taking into account the various problems that may arise after the completion of the plan, and must prevent accidents before the completion of the work.

Although the hexagram is praised, when the matter has been completed, it has been prosperous. But it is more about expounding the truth that it is difficult to keep it.

Success is exciting, but it's even harder. Once successful, you will get carried away and no longer make great achievements. Finally, internal and external troubles followed.

Only by upholding integrity and continuing to move forward can we alleviate the damage caused by the turn of profit into loss.

Villains should be sternly rejected as the root cause of all evils, and they should not be allowed to form forces that cause irreparable serious consequences."

Professor Zhou nodded, patted Xia Yifan's shoulder again, and smiled without saying a word, but his eyes showed a wise light.

"It seems that Professor Zhou also knows some divination skills, on the one hand, he reminds me to take a long-term view and not to be complacent with a little achievement.

On the other hand, I also see that I have been pestered by villains recently, and I am asked to stick to my integrity and solve this matter as soon as possible to avoid irreversible consequences.

But the strange thing is that the teacher can't calculate the hexagram related to me, whether this university professor has such ability."

Obviously, Xia Yifan's answer was greatly appreciated by Professor Zhou and the students, and under the leadership of Professor Zhou, the students burst into warm applause. The professor returned to the podium and continued his lesson.

In the professor's colorful lectures, time flies. In a cheerful, "Czerny" piano etude. It sounded from the school radio to signify the end of the class.

After Professor Zhou announced the end of class, he stopped Xia Yifan walking outside the classroom, "Xia Yifan, I remember that you were the last to enter the classroom before class, remember not to be late in the future."

Also, if there is something in the textbook that you don't understand, you can always come to my office and ask me." Xia Yifan smiled gratefully, "Then thank you, Professor Zhou."

As soon as the morning class was over, Brother Tao couldn't wait to pull Ye Shao, Zheng Jiuxian and Xia Yifan and rushed to the cafeteria.

When I came to the canteen, I saw a group of people surrounding the door of the canteen, and Brother Tao said excitedly, "Is it that the food in the canteen has improved today, and everyone is rushing to eat."

Ye Shao kicked Brother Tao's ass, do you think that others know how to eat like you.

Several people finally squeezed into the crowd and saw a group of boys hushing around a beautiful girl.

I saw that the girl was wearing a princess dress, and the light black stockings highlighted her two slender legs.

The small white high heels kept tapping on the marble floor of the cafeteria when they walked, and then looked up at the slender waist with curves, and there was no trace of fat on the delicate and childish lotus root jade arms.

The white neck wears a white gold necklace, and the pendant is one, a beautifully made dragonfly.

Slightly wavy long hair, swirling down her back. The ruddy goose egg face is filled with a painting-like spring color.

When Xia Yifan and others saw clearly, the reason for the congestion in the cafeteria was because of the appearance of this girl.

Ye Shao interjected behind his back, "These boys are crazy, they haven't seen women since they came out of their mother's womb, no."

There was a senior classmate in the crowd of onlookers who said, "When I look at you like this, I know that you are a freshman, you don't know Liao Yuting, he is one of the top 500 enterprises in the country, the CEO of Liao's Group, and the daughter of Liao Qishan." There are many people who want to slap him.

I don't know what kind of young lady she has to come to our school to study. I heard that Lu Mingtao, the president of the student union, has been pursuing Liao Yuting since his freshman year, and now he is in his third year, and he has not yet succeeded.

Usually Liao Yuting doesn't come to the cafeteria to eat, but today I don't know what's wrong, she actually came to the canteen."

When this classmate was still proudly introducing Liao Yuting's rumors, he saw Liao Yuting raise her jade arm, waving it not far away, and shouting a name that Xia Yifan was familiar with.
