The short and fat old man immediately stood up: "Ah, you are the source of the river in Huai'an Mansion?" Brother Han mentioned you to me a few days ago, saying that you are quick to think and proficient in economics and history, and you are a rare good seedling of Chinese culture in recent years. At that time, I thought he was putting gold on his face, and laughed at him, but I didn't expect that being famous is better than meeting, and meeting is more famous!"

The tall and thin old man still had a straight face: "I don't know if it's a good seedling, but it's definitely a little slippery!"

After saluting, Jiang Shuiyuan asked curiously, "Do you two know Mr. Han?"

The short and fat old man beckoned Jiang Shuiyuan to sit down, and then introduced himself: "My name is Ji Xun, and the bamboo pole next to me is called Qiao Zhizhi, don't look at him with a coffin face all day long, look at everyone who is bitter and hateful, in fact, he is very good, a typical knife mouth tofu heart." Both of us are teachers at the School of Chinese Studies at Jinling University, and we have known Brother Han for decades. Brother Han's character and knowledge are excellent, we have always admired him, and he has been invited to teach at Jinling University many times, but he has politely declined. As a result, the yellow bell was shattered, the tiles roared, and he was famous and lonely in Huai'an, but let me and other obtuse people blow and roar here. I'm ashamed!"

In the conversation, there was a lot of embarrassment.

Qiao Zhizhi's thin cheeks twitched, and he didn't know what kind of feelings he wanted to express: "Brother Han is actually quite good in Huai'an Mansion, his work is leisurely, his life is comfortable, and he just calms down and does his studies well." Looking at his frequent great works and writings over the years, isn't it the result of studying hard behind closed doors and studying with peace of mind? How can it be like us, when we were young, we were constrained everywhere, this one did not dare, that one was not allowed, and when we were older, we had no knowledge in our stomachs, and we had to be full of academic tyrants everywhere. That's the real shame!"

Ji Xun laughed dryly: "I said bamboo pole, in front of the juniors, you can save some face for our old bones, like you, you see blood and don't leave any affection, so how can we put on a score in front of the juniors in the future?"

Qiao Zhizhi snorted coldly: "It's as if I don't expose it, we have a spectrum to put on display!"

"I can boast in front of these young people that I am the master of the whole country in the study of the "Dragon Shrine Handbook"! As long as you don't pierce my cowhide, who knows what kind of book the "Dragon Shrine Handbook" is?

Jiang Shuiyuan nodded: "I know!" The four volumes of "Dragon Shrine Handbook" are a book written by the Liao Dynasty monk Xingjun. According to the "Summary of the Four Libraries of the Whole Book", the radicals of the book are in the order of flat, up, go and enter, and the words of each part are reused in four tones, and each word must be listed in detail under the correct, vulgar, modern, ancient and or as various bodies. More than 26,430 words were recorded, more than 163,170 words were noted, and a total of more than 189,610 words were noted. In addition to "Shuowen" and "Jade Chapter", many collections. - I've read the "Summary of the Four Libraries", so I remember the basic situation of this book!"

Qiao Zhizhi finally showed a smile on his face, although it was very blunt: "Hahahaha, you old thing, you can't even deceive a child, and you dare to claim to be Taishan Beidou who studies the "Dragon Shrine Handbook" in the whole country!

Ji Xun was shocked: "It's over, it's over, now the "Dragon Shrine Handbook" is no longer able to bluff people, next time I have to say that I am a national research master, "Pei Jin" or "Zi Shuang"? "Urgent Chapter" or "Ganlu Zishu"? It is best that "Siku Quanshu" is not included, it seems to be relatively remote and difficult, and others can't touch the root for a while. ”

……

Jiang Shuiyuan watched two old men in their seventies laughing and scolding from the side, feeling that he was being nurtured by his predecessors and stepping into the academic circle step by step. Sometimes it's not about how much you know or how many people you know, it's about how many scandals and anecdotes you know about the academic community, and you can talk together when you sit together.

In the blink of an eye, it was seven o'clock, and everyone was arriving.

As the organizer of the hairpin party, the owner of Changzhou Provincial No. 1 Middle School, Cheng Daqi, respectfully invited Ji Xun and George to the guest seat, and everyone hurried into the table according to the table sign. After sitting down, Cheng Daqi picked up the microphone without giving in: "Dear Professor Ji, Professor Qiao, colleagues, good evening! Time flies, time flies, and in a blink of an eye ushered in the annual provincial Chinese culture difficult selection competition, our hairpin will also reach the sixth, this time we are fortunate to be the host of our Changzhou Mansion, thank you for attending the meeting as scheduled and your love for my Changzhou Mansion!"

"At the beginning of the meeting, allow me to introduce two distinguished guests. Professor Ji Xunji, deputy dean of the School of Chinese Studies of Jinling University and a famous philologist, has a profound research on the transformation of Chinese characters, the evolution of fonts, and the collation of vulgar characters.

Mr. Qiao Zhizhi, a distinguished professor of Zhaoming Scholars at the School of Chinese Studies of Jinling University and a famous historian, has a wide range of academic interests, including the history of the Song, Liao, Jin and Yuan dynasties, the history of ancient material culture, the history of Sino-Western transportation, historical theory and historiography, etc., but the most commendable is his pioneering research on the Khitan characters and the life history of the northern peoples, and he has been recognized by the historians at home and abroad as 'the scholar who best understands the northern ethnic groups of China from the tenth to the fifteenth century'. Let us welcome them both with a round of applause!"

At this time, Jiang Shuiyuan had a superficial understanding of these two old men, no, two famous scholars.

Cheng Daqi continued: "In order to do a good job in this hairpin flower meeting, we specially invited famous craftsmen to make a batch of purple sand pots, with exquisite materials and elegant shapes, which are the best works in Yixing purple sand." It's a pity that there are only six, that is, only half of the people present can get it. I hope that everyone can actively participate in the activities that will be waiting for a while, strive to be the first, and win these high-quality purple clay pots that can be met but not sought.

Considering that Jiangbei, especially Huaibei, has inherent disadvantages in terms of flat water rhyme and four tones, to ensure that the activities are fair and just, we will no longer write poems, fill in lyrics, and make songs as before, but change the name to the pair, for example, I am a famous contemporary translator 'Yang Jiang', you can be to 'Li Bai', you can be 'Xiao Hong', you can also be 'Liu Qing'. It's as simple as that! The specific rules of the competition will be explained in detail later, and now I will ask Dean Ji to tell us a few words!"

Ji Xun took the microphone with a smile: "It's a pleasure to meet you young and handsome! Everyone knows that not far from us now is the Jiangnan Gongyuan, a hundred years ago, every three years or less, there would be thousands of young people like the Ten Thousand Buddhas Dynasty Sect and the Hundred Rivers and Rivers, rushing here from various prefectures, prefectures and counties to participate in the township examination, and start their colorful lives that are tragic or glorious, miserable or illustrious. However, since 1905, when the Qing government announced that all township examinations would be stopped, this exciting scene was no longer seen, and was replaced by the high school entrance examination and the college entrance examination, and the content of the original Four Books and Five Classics was changed from the original Four Books and Five Classics to political history, geography, physics and chemistry.

"The bleak departure of the imperial examination has led to the end of the road of Chinese studies. Every time I pass by the old site of the Jiangnan Gongyuan, I can't help but think of a poem by Li Bai: 'Daya has not been done for a long time, who is Chen in my decline?' Today, seeing you holding a hairpin party, I seem to vaguely feel the grand occasion of the young scholars gathering together to taste poems and papers before the township examination a hundred years ago. I wish you the hairpin club can continue to do it persistently, and do it better and better, leaving a line of inheritance for the Jiangzuo Fenghua hundreds of years ago!"

Thunderous applause.

Jiang Shuiyuan applauded, and at the same time said in his heart: This old man is not authentic! For the sake of his own thoughts, he actually planned to let so many young people go forward and come to Jiangning Mansion to summon the spirits of the former Jiangnan Gongyuan. It's no problem for you to go to Jiangnan Gongyuan every day to dance and beat Jiao, and no one cares about you, but why are you harming young people?

Qiao Zhizhi's speech was not as enthusiastic as Ji Xun's, but it was not shocking and plain: "The pair is the third content that children need to learn after literacy and reading since the Six Dynasties, and it is earlier than writing articles." In the view of the ancients, pairs are the basis for writing articles, and if you don't write bad articles about pairs. Today, Chinese culture is in decline, and even students from the Department of Chinese Literature of Jinling University can match no more than half of them, let alone ordinary middle school students!

As early as the Qin and Han dynasties, some peach symbols were directly written on the 'Shen Tu' and 'Yu Lei', which can be regarded as the earliest pair of names. Another example is the widely circulated 'Lu Shilong in the clouds, Xun Minghe under the sun' in the Western Jin Dynasty, which is already quite neat and the name is right. The name pair not only tests the knowledge accumulation of the participants, but also tests the thinking sensitivity of the participants, which is a good entertainment project. I hope you can all actively use your brains and hand in satisfactory answers!"

When Zhou Yuantong heard that he did not take the examination of poetry and music, he changed his name to the right person, and his mind suddenly became lively, and he whispered to the river source on the side: "Our opportunity to take revenge has come! If you really want to talk about using people's names to fight against them, why are our Huaibei people stronger than Jiangnan people?"

Jiang Shuiyuan was stunned: "It seems that Brother Zhou is very familiar with the history of the country?"

Zhou Yuantong rubbed his round belly: "It's okay, right? Maybe it's not as familiar as Brother Jiang's "Quantang Poems", at least I have read the first four histories, and I have also read most of the "Zizhi Tongjian", so I should be able to barely fight, right?"
