XXXIX. Discernment

As soon as he walked into the preparation room, Qian Zhongmin couldn't wait to ask: "President, didn't you say that the theory of Chinese studies is difficult, and there are usually philosophical topics?

Jiang Shuiyuan smiled bitterly: "Isn't it unusual now? Okay, now is not the time to discuss this." We have limited time, so let's hurry up and analyze the debate and arguments!"

Qian Zhongmin said: "But if you don't make it clear, we are not down-to-earth!"

Looking at their doubtful eyes, Jiang Shuiyuan had no choice but to express his guess: "I think it should be that the organizing committee has already known about the use of the ancient book database by Shanyang High School, and has fully assessed the impact and risks caused by it. In order to avoid unfair competition, simply go off the rails, come up with a question that no one could have thought of before, reduce the impact of the database, and ensure the fairness and justice of the event as much as possible. ”

"Do you also guarantee fairness? Such important classics as the "Records of the Historians" and "Book of Han" should have been digitized a long time ago, right? Now they are looking at the data full of computers, casually searching and retrieval, but we are empty, we can only make up the wall, how can it be fair?"

Chu Taisong also said: "In my impression, it seems that there are special books on the differences between the "Historical Records" and "Later Han Books" in the Siku Quanshu? ”

Jiang Shuiyuan nodded and said: "Tai Song is right, there are indeed such special books in the Siku Quanshu, and there is more than one, if I remember correctly, there should be three kinds, namely the thirty-five volumes of Ni Si's "Ban Ma Similarities and Differences" in the Song Dynasty, the thirty-five volumes of Liu Chenweng's "Ban Ma Similarities and Differences", and the thirty-five volumes of "Shi Han Fang Jia" compiled by Xu Xiangqing in the Ming Dynasty. These three kinds of books are actually one kind in the final analysis, that is, Ni Si wrote "Banma Similarities and Differences", studying the differences between the words and sentences to distinguish the gains and losses, and then Liu Chenweng commented on them according to the meaning of the text, and in the Ming Dynasty, Xu Xiangqing changed the previous style, added a little profit and loss, and changed the name to "Shi Han Fangjia", so the three books are thirty-five volumes. ”

Qian Zhongmin hurriedly said: "If they accept this book in the database, then aren't we dead?"

Gao He hooked Qian Zhongmin's shoulder and comforted: "You can put a hundred hearts! Let me tell you, President Jiang has been through a hundred battles and has seen a lot, but he has never seen any of the strong teams in the province? Like Mr. Han, and those professors from Jinling University, they don't know how much higher than Shanyang High School, and the president talks and laughs with them! If he really encounters a scene where he is bound to lose, he will already be in a hurry to go to the room, and he still has the leisure to talk to you about this? Isn't that right, President?"

Jiang Shuiyuan glanced at Gao He with satisfaction, and sure enough, he was worthy of being the next president of his circle, and with this calm kung fu of "calming down every major event", others were beyond the reach of others.

The time was urgent, and Jiang Shuiyuan did not sell it: "Although Gao He said it exaggeratedly, it meant that." Let's talk about the book "Shi Han Fang Driving", it can be seen from the name that the author thinks that "Historical Records" and "Han Shu" have their own merits and weaknesses, and they are enough to keep pace with each other, and there is no question of who is superior and who is inferior, so whether there is this book in the database of Shanyang High School or not, it will not have much impact on today's game. Secondly, to argue about the merits of Sima Qian and Ban Gu, the premise must be to read the "Historical Records" and "Han Shu", just as the "Tao Te Ching" says, "The world knows that beauty is beautiful, and evil has been", without comparison, it doesn't matter if there is no comparison, and if you don't read, you don't care about comparison. I believe that Shanyang High School has a database of ancient books and is facing the pressure of a difficult competition in Chinese studies, so few people should be able to calm down and read the original work. ”

Qian Zhongmin's eyes lit up: "And we have all read it!"

Chu Taisong also patted his head: "No wonder the president wants to test our four books and five classics and the integration of all sons when he joins the club, and he also wants us to use the holidays to read through the first four histories and the "Summary of the Four Libraries", and after reading, we must take notes and talk about our feelings, the fundamental reason is here!"

Jiang Shuiyuan continued: "The Records of the Historian and the Book of Han have their own advantages and disadvantages, and which aspects are specifically manifested, which needs to be condensed in reading and understanding, and then demonstrated through materials. It is true that a large amount of material is needed to support the argument, but it does not mean that the argument can be derived by piling up the material and listing the original text, in the final analysis, the material is in the service of the argument, and the argument is developed for the viewpoint, not the other way around. ”

Qian Zhongmin understood: "What does the president mean that although they have arguments and materials, they have no arguments to connect them, just like pearls that are threaded without threads, and they can't be mentioned at all?"

Jiang Shuiyuan said: "It's not just that! Debate is a bit like weaving a fishing net, not only do you need to grasp the net rope of the debate topic at all times, but also have a net outline similar to a sub-argument under the net rope, and then use the warp of the debate to string the weft of the material, so as to achieve the effect of outlining the outline and catching the fish and shrimp." They haven't read through the "Records of the Historians" and "Book of Han", and it is very difficult for them to come up with appropriate sub-arguments in a short period of time!"

"It's difficult! Otherwise, they really think that with a database, they can sweep the world!"

"That is, we have to use the fact that it is as cold as iron to educate these bear children who don't know the height of the sky!"

Jiang Shuiyuan saw that his morale was high, so he hit the railway while it was hot: "If you have any good ideas, you can say them and communicate." Time is pressing, so I will first throw bricks and talk about a few points of understanding of 'class is better than horse'. First of all, the advantages and disadvantages of Banma mainly refer to the advantages and disadvantages of "History" and "Han", but they are not completely equal, otherwise it is a change of concept and narrowing the debate. To take a simple chestnut, talking about Sima Qian is inseparable from the huge book "Historical Records", but we can't forget his "On the Key Points of the Six Families" and "The Book of Reporting to Ren'an", and we can't avoid his bumpy life and upright personality ......"

Time flies.

The audience outside felt like two hours was as long as night, while the two teams preparing inside only felt as if a white horse had passed by, and time was fleeting. No matter how well they prepared, when the two teams came to the stage, they were in high spirits and looked confident. Especially in the Sanyo High School team, each member has a thick stack of notes in their hands, and it seems that they are even more sure of victory.

It was also at this time that Jiang Shuiyuan finally understood what Pu Xiaoxiang meant when he said "to ensure that Shanyang High School will not be able to play its home advantage". As soon as the Huai'an Mansion squadron appeared, the applause and cheers from the audience soared into the sky, the flashing lights were so bright that people couldn't open their eyes, and a group of little girls ran up to the stage to send flowers and plush toys, and Jiang Shuiyuan's two hands were not enough at all. Several girls in the front row with big voices and sufficient lung capacity shouted hoarsely:

"Jiang Shuiyuan, I love you!"

"Yuanyuan, you are the best!"

Jiang Shuiyuan felt that his white hair and sweat were about to come out: Please, everyone, this is a debate competition, not a concert, what are you going to make a fuss? Also, what do you mean by holding colorful LED fan cards dangling there?
