XXXIV. Vision
After returning home, Jiang Shuiyuan hid in his room and read books all weekend in addition to eating and exercising.
The first thing he read was the three pamphlets that Aunt Xu gave him. These three books are not very thick, and the thickest "The Inheritance of Sinology in the National Dynasty" is only eight volumes and more than 100 pages, such as "Introduction to Chinese Studies" and "Introduction to Qing Dynasty Academics", the main content is less than 100 pages, and with Jiang Shuiyuan's current reading speed, it is half a day's work. But he spent more time pausing and quietly meditating, carefully figuring out the essence of what the author wanted to express, and thinking about what kind of existence the so-called scholarship and scholarship were.
Jiang Shuiyuan didn't know what real scholarship and learning were, but he read the two pamphlets "Introduction to Chinese Studies" and "Introduction to Qing Dynasty Academics", and he already had a vague general concept in his mind, that is, he must go beyond the textbooks and not be in the examination. In his opinion, what is learned in school is not academic at all, at most it is a stepping stone to get started with common sense and win fame and fortune, similar to the "study of the scriptures" mentioned in the book (the Tang Dynasty Ming Jing Department used the scriptures to test the scholars, that is, to paste a number of words from the scriptures to make the test takers answer, similar to the current fill-in-the-blank questions. Later, because it is difficult for candidates to memorize the scriptures, it is a summary of the scriptures compiled into a song recipe, which is convenient for memorizing the time, which is called "Ti Kuo". Later, it generally refers to the articles for the imperial examination), and academics and scholarship are unrelated.
Moreover, there is no obvious relationship between fame, official position, and academic level. He was also a famous scholar of the Qing Dynasty, Bi Yuan was the champion, Zhuang Cunhe, Wang Mingsheng, Sun Xingyan, and Hong Liangji were the top names, Qin Huitian, Lu Wenyi, Zhao Yi, Sun Xidan, Wang Yinzhi, and Li Wentian were Tanhua, while Yan Ruoxuan, Hu Wei, Yu Xiaoke, Wang Zhong, Jiang Fan and others had been plotting for decades but could not get them, and could only live as cloth clothes for the rest of their lives. Even if he is the same Zhongjinshi, such as Ji Yun, Wang Yinzhi, Ruan Yuan and other scholars are all officials to the governor of Shangshu, and Dai Zhen, known as the "first scholar of the former Qing Dynasty", failed the six examinations, and at the age of 53, because of his remarkable academic achievements, he was specially appointed by the Qianlong Emperor to participate in the palace examination,—— In the Qing Dynasty, the scholar of the Hanlin Academy was only the beginning of his career as an official, and Ling Tingkan, a famous scholar with many books, was only a professor of Ningguofu in Anhui Province in his official career, similar to the director of the education commission of a prefecture-level city and the principal of a municipal middle school today.
Although he had only read two pamphlets, Jiang Shuiyuan felt that his horizons had suddenly broadened, at least higher than those of his classmates. It's like there's a beautiful landscape somewhere, and the vast majority of people don't know anything about it, and they have no interest in it, it's ordinary people. A small number of talented and diligent people have worked hard to enter the scenic area, carefully appreciate those exquisite landscapes, flowers and plants, and have no time to describe the wonderful things inside to outsiders, which is a scholar. There are also some people who know that there is a beautiful scenery somewhere, and also know that some people have entered the scenic spot to watch, but due to various conditions, they are still standing outside the scenic spot and cannot enter, this part of the people can be called enthusiasts. Compared with ordinary people who are ignorant, their knowledge is indeed one level higher.
Jiang Shuiyuan felt that he was the last kind of person.
Generally speaking, ordinary people will change from ordinary people to enthusiasts after entering the university through the teacher's allocation, seniors' demonstration, environmental edification, and their own understanding; And Jiang Shuiyuan, under the intentional or unintentional attention of predecessors such as Zhu Qingjia, Han Xianru, and Aunt Xu of the bookstore, actually realized the difference in his first year of high school, and initially completed the role change, and it was really difficult to tell the pros and cons for a while. However, Jiang Shuiyuan himself was very happy with the sudden change.
With such a mood, he began the second week of study life with "The Inheritance of Sinology Teachers in the National Dynasty".
"Jiang Shuiyuan, what book are you reading?" Cai Xiaojia found that Jiang Shuiyuan had been concentrating on reading a booklet throughout the morning self-study, and had written something in his notebook from time to time, but that book was obviously not a textbook, so he couldn't help but ask during the break.
"A miscellaneous book!"
The so-called miscellaneous books for middle school students are usually martial arts fantasy romance novels or various comics rented from bookstores with their breakfast money, and there are also unsuitable reading materials for children bought from night market stalls. Cai Xiaojia obviously didn't believe it, he was the class leader, he had good morals, and his grades were so good, how could he read those messy extracurricular books?
Jiang Shuiyuan seemed to have discovered Cai Xiaojia's suspicion and showed her the cover a few times.
Cai Xiaojia tilted his head and read word by word: "The extracurricular tutoring materials of the Chinese language?"
"Uh...... You can think so!" Jiang Shuiyuan really couldn't explain to this simple tablemate, so he had to admit vaguely.
At this time, Wu Zichen turned his head and asked with a smile: "Boss, are you preparing a speech?" It is said that this week's flag-raising ceremony is a class of Li Zhili speaking on behalf of our freshmen in high school, and it will be your turn next, boss, right?"
Li Zhili is not only the first place in the high school entrance examination, but also the first place in the placement test, this double champion has become a well-deserved freshman first, there is no one in the entire first year of high school who does not know this great god, Jiang Shuiyuan is no exception, not to mention that during the military training, the two of them are still in the same class and dormitory for so long? In Jiang Shuiyuan's impression, Li Zhili is a white boy who is not tall, wears glasses, and is taciturn, and likes to hide in the corner with an English dictionary and recite words when he has nothing to do, and he looks like a scholar.
"Impossible!" Jiang Shuiyuan said categorically.
"How is it impossible? You are the second class leader, and the second place in the placement test, and it is your turn!"
Jiang Shuiyuan said with a smile: "According to your meaning, the flag-raising ceremony in the next sixteen weeks will be all organized by our first year of high school, and let the seniors of the second and third years of high school wait on the side and watch stupidly?"
"Of course, it is impossible for all sixteen class leaders to go up and make an appearance, but the top three in the grade definitely have a chance!" Wu Zichen said firmly.
"Hehe, young man, if you think that the top three in the grade can show up in front of the whole school teachers and students, then it is inevitable that the too young, too simple Tucson will be broken! You don't want to think that although the whole school is three grades, but the second year of high school is divided into arts and sciences, which is actually equivalent to five grades, if the top three grades have a chance, it is equivalent to occupying fifteen places at once." The top three in the key grades are not fixed at all, and this monthly exam may be you, and next time it may be my turn to sit in the village, how to arrange them? In addition, we have to give the student union president, the principal, the vice principal, the director of education, and the grade group leader a chance to show their faces, right? What other discipline Olympiad first prize winners, selling Meng Cup new concept essay contest winners, provincial three good students, outstanding student cadres, winners of the National Innovative Foreign Language Competition, middle school students in the difficult theory of Chinese studies, etc., do you think the normal flag raising in 40 weeks a year can be arranged? Jiang Shuiyuan felt that he would definitely have the opportunity to stand in front of the teachers and students of the whole school and point out the words, but it was definitely not now, "Besides, the incident during my military training has not yet come to light, and the negative impact has not yet dissipated, do you think the school may let me go up and make a big fuss?"
But if you want to talk about the main reason, Jiang Shuiyuan felt that he was still outspoken when he was in the hospital, and he offended the principal Lei Chengyu in public, so he naturally had his own small shoes to wear.
"Do you still need to investigate? Isn't it just that someone framed you for using sunscreen, and then the instructor indiscriminately started beating people? With or without sunscreen, all of our former classmates can testify to you; the instructor beating people is obvious to all the teachers and students in the playground. How else do you want to investigate?" at this time, Wei Chumo also turned his head and said.
Wu Zichen very much agreed with Wei Chumo's point of view: "Yes, yes! The reason is very simple, that is, some classmates are jealous of Boss Jiang's whiteness, and the black-faced company commander is handsome and hateful to Boss Jiang, and then this incident happened, does the school need to investigate for so long? I think they just want to delay the big things and the small things!"
In fact, Jiang Shuiyuan also suspected that the school was using the "investigation" as an excuse to delay the army, but in front of Wu Zichen and them, he would not say it casually, but just smiled faintly: "Don't worry, the truth of this matter will definitely come out to the world one day!" Just as he was about to change the topic, a classmate in the class shouted at the door: "Class leader, someone is looking for you!"
Jiang Shuiyuan thought that it was Han Yun or someone who was looking for him, so he hurriedly walked out of the classroom, but found that it was a stranger he had never met, and he should be a sophomore in high school looking at his clothes and mental temperament. In confusion, the man said straight to the point: "Hello, you are the second class leader? I am Chen Jiaer of the Culture and Sports Department of the Student Union, according to the school's arrangement, the fourth class this afternoon will hold a freshman class leader symposium in Room 302 of the Student Union, and arrange the recruitment of new students in the first year of high school, I hope you can participate on time." ”
"The fourth class this afternoon, room 302 of the student union? Okay, I'll be on time!" This is the first time Jiang Shuiyuan has been invited to participate in such high-end memories, and there is still a little excitement and excitement when it comes to it.
