7. The first academic paper

This time, the old woman also knew Jiang Shuiyuan, and when she opened the door, she smiled and said, "Come in, come in!" The old man has been talking for the past few days, saying that the summer vacation is almost over, and you should come and see. Saying that, she turned her head and shouted into the house: "Dead old man, come out quickly! Aren't you always talking about 'Jiang Xiaoyou'? Why are you hiding in the house to raise white meat?"

"Come on, come on!" Han Xianru walked out of the house quickly shaking the pu fan, "Jiang Xiaoyou, are you here?" you can really bear your temperament, if the old man encounters this kind of thing at your age, it is estimated that he can run eight times a day! Come on, come on, let's talk in the house. ”

Jiang Shuiyuan replied a little embarrassedly: "Actually, at the beginning, I also wanted to run eight times a day to see if you had any opinions on the manuscript, but because the paper you told me was not finished, I had to endure it for the time being." When I started to write the paper, I realized that the manuscript was simply useless, it was completely a compilation of information, and I felt that I had no face to meet you. That's why I've been grinding until now. ”

"Do you think, 'Today is but yesterday is not?'" Han Xianru immediately shook his head: "You don't have to be so arrogant! At your age, being able to compile a decent manuscript according to your own ideas, and it is 300,000 words long, is already very remarkable. As for the fact that the manuscript is a compilation of information, it is understandable that the compilation does not mean that it is worthless, as long as you have your own ideas. What's more, how many books are now completely copied from the east and made up from the west, and they don't know what to do?"

"You're right! If it's worse than that, I don't think it's the worst of the year. "Jiang Shuiyuan has finally regained a little self-confidence.

Han Xianru directly brought Jiang Shuiyuan to the study, although it was still messy, but at least it was better than last time, and the two of them had a place to sit. And the manuscript is placed next to the seat, and it is estimated that Mr. Han has been reading it a lot these days. This made Jiang Shuiyuan feel inexplicably ashamed. Before he could sit down, he hurriedly took out the paper he had just written and handed it over: "Mr. Han, this is the paper I wrote according to your instructions. Please be more correct!"

"Don't be in a hurry to read the paper, let's talk about your manuscript first!" Han Xianru put down the pu fan in his hand and picked up the manuscript.

Jiang Shuiyuan's face was slightly red: "Don't talk about this manuscript." At that time, I didn't know anything, so I wrote there with my head covered and courageous. After writing it, I brought it to you for advice, and I didn't know how many pounds and taels I had. Now that I've read some research papers from modern scholars, I realize how careless I am, so I'd better take this manuscript back by myself!"

Han Xianru said with a smile: "Now many authors are facing criticism and accusations from the outside world, and often use 'no regrets and less work' as a shield. The manuscript of the book is clearly organized, the quotations are comprehensive, and the text is concise. It's rare to be able to write a book like this at such a young age, but do you know what the biggest flaw of your book is?"

"Too much stuff from others, too little stuff from your own. Jiang Shuiyuan had already discovered this problem after he had cut the manuscript.

"That's right! It is said that 'it is easy to know people, but it is difficult to know oneself', but I didn't expect Jiang Xiaoyou to discover his shortcomings so quickly. It's really accessible inside and out. Han Xianru couldn't help but praise him, "Indeed." The problem with your manuscript is that you have too little to do! No matter what you write, the ultimate goal is to show yourself, including your knowledge, experience, thoughts, pursuits, values, and so on. If you don't have that, it's just a collection of information and a compilation of stories, so what's the point of writing and publishing this book?"

Jiang Shuiyuan is enlightened.

Han Xianru said again: "So my suggestion is that you might as well put this manuscript aside for the time being. Look at the information again and think about what you want to show in the book, and whether it is worth showing. When you've figured it out, write three or five essays on these things, and then go back and revisit and revise your manuscript. It should have some publication value!"

After I go back, I will follow your instructions, carefully consult the materials, and then delete and revise the manuscript when I have learned something. Jiang Shuiyuan replied respectfully.

"No, no!" Han Xianru waved his hand again and again, "Young people don't have to be frustrated, it is enough to revise to a certain extent and be able to publish, always entangled in some trivial problems and delay the time of studying, some gains outweigh the losses." It's better to take the road with the problem, and look at the expo, on the contrary, it is easier to harvest. Besides, which book in this world is perfect and has no flaws at all? If you really want to revise it, I guess you won't do anything else in this life!

"In addition, I made a few random changes to the manuscript while reading it, adding some inappropriate comments and suggestions. If you think it's appropriate, change it, and delete it if you think it's inappropriate, don't embarrass yourself, and don't think that what the old man said is right. ”

Jiang Shuiyuan took the manuscript and saw that there were traces of Han Xianru's revisions with a red pen on each page. Some of them were too much to write, so he simply pasted a note on them, which shows that he not only read it from beginning to end, but also carefully checked the original book and corrected the mistakes, and added information that Jiang Shuiyuan had not seen in many places.

Jiang Shuiyuan didn't know how to express his gratitude, so he could only get up and bow deeply; "Thank you!"

Han Xianru waved his hand disapprovingly, picked up the paper on Jiang Shuiyuan and read it again.

In fact, Han Xianru is not only the principal of Huai'an Provincial Normal School and the director of the Department of Chinese Studies, but also the editor-in-chief of the Journal of Huai'an Provincial Normal School. Moreover, he himself is a scholar of Chinese studies, and he has been immersed in it for decades.

"Isn't it badly written?"

This was Jiang Shuiyuan's painstaking work on the basis of that manuscript, which represented the highest level he could achieve now, so he was very nervous when he saw that Mr. Han was silent. If Mr. Han gave a negative answer, although it would not make him lose all hopes, he could at least spend two or three weeks to heal. Well, internal injuries.

Han Xianru laughed: "Don't be nervous, you write very well, even better than the graduation theses of many students in the Department of Chinese Studies of our Normal School, especially in terms of argument angle and argument citation, it is very novel and solid, and the conclusions reached are also convincing." The only regret is that you lack an overall grasp of the changes in social, economic, political and even academic trends in the past 50 years, resulting in an analysis of the changes in the arguments cited by the debaters of the National Sinology Debate Contest only superficial, and does not reach sufficient depth and thickness. What does that sentence in "Mencius" say?'Praise his poems, read his books, and don't know who he is?' That's exactly what I said. ”

Jiang Shuiyuan scratched his head embarrassedly: "I really didn't expect this. ”

"I don't blame you. The horizon is opened step by step, everyone has made mistakes of one kind or another, and those who are born to know it are saints! What's more, now that you know this, won't you be able to avoid making this kind of mistake again in the future?" Han Xianru paused and then continued, "Of course, it is difficult for you to outline the changes in social, economic, political, and even academic trends in the past fifty years. ”

Jiang Shuiyuan knew that Han Xianru was telling the truth. If you don't have enough knowledge and rich experience, it is indeed easy to summarize the various changes in the past 50 years, and say some layman's words that tickle your boots: "Then I will take this article back first, go back and rewrite it, and then ask you for advice." ”

Han Xianru pondered for a moment: "Otherwise, you leave the paper and I will correct it for you, and add a few paragraphs about the impact of the changes in social, economic, political and academic trends on the changes in the arguments in the past fifty years, and then we will jointly sign and send it to the Journal of Huai'an Normal School." What do you think?"

"Yes, yes!" For such a good thing, of course, the river water source is not wanted.

Han Xianru put on his glasses, picked up the red pen and said, "Then don't be in a hurry to leave, I'll start to change it now, and if you have any questions, you can ask it directly." You can watch from the sidelines, and if you have any disagreements, you can also raise them right away. ”

In this way, the first academic paper published by Jiang Shuiyuan and his students was soon released. (To be continued......)
