57. The Opening Match (Medium)
While Jiang Shuiyuan and others were discussing in the preparation room, several judges were also drinking tea and chatting in the lounge. Chatting and chatting, everyone naturally talked about the debate topic of today's competition. One of the chubby little old men shook his shiny head and said, "I thought this question would be saved for the finals as the finale! I didn't think that the first day of the competition would come in handy, and I don't know whether these little guys were lucky or unlucky, I just hope they don't spoil such a good topic!"
Someone on the side immediately took over the conversation: "Curator Zhou said it very well! This topic seems to be extremely beneficial to the positive side, and after careful consideration, I found that the opposite side has a greater advantage." But no matter which side loses, there is plenty of room to make arguments and refute them. Such a topic is indeed very rare, even if it is placed in the provincial and national national competitions of Chinese studies, it is not inferior!"
It turned out that the chubby little old man was Zhou Zhiwa, the curator of the Huai'an Provincial Museum. Zhou Zhiwat is not only a member of the Provincial Senate, but also the president of the Huai'an Prefecture Chinese Society.
"Although the topic is good, in order to achieve the desired results, it must be very effective for both the pros and cons to be debaters! If a good man does not meet Bole, he will inevitably die in a stable; if Zhuang Zhou does not meet Hui Shi, it is tantamount to playing the piano to a cow. Just now, I looked through the information of the debaters on both sides, and found that there were actually 5 girls among the eight official debaters, and there was also a 14-year-old boy in high school. Do you think you can sing this play well with such a team?"
The young man who spoke was about twenty-seven or eighteen years old, wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, and looked quite gentle, but the arrogance between his eyebrows could not be concealed. His name is Chu Hanyi, a doctor from Jinling University, and he is currently a lecturer of Chinese studies at Huai'an Normal School, and he was specially invited by the Huai'an Provincial Education Commission to serve as a judge of the competition. It is said that when he was in high school, he participated in the provincial national studies and won the title of "best debater".
Among the judges, there was a thin and tall middle-aged man who had long been unaccustomed to Chu Hanyi's demeanor, and couldn't help but sneer a few times when he heard this: "We think that we are judges who score according to the debate on the field, not current affairs commentators who just rely on one or two news, so no one can feel it casually before the end of the competition! Director Zhou, don't you say?"
Zhou Zhihu, who is always smiling like Maitreya Buddha, nodded: "Brother Zhang is right, we judges are just like doing knowledge, we can't be preconceived, because once there is a preconception, it will be difficult to maintain fairness in the final judgment." However, Dr. Chu is also reasonable, the better the debate, the more we need to meet the opponent and the good talent, even if one side is weak, it cannot fully present the essence of the debate. ”
The middle-aged man known as "Brother Zhang" was Zhang Hong, a researcher at the Huai'an Provincial Library, and he seemed to be a little dissatisfied with Zhou Zhiwat's harmony: "Director Zhou should know that there are three kinds of people who must be careful when walking the rivers and lakes: the elderly, women and children, because since they dare to lick blood from the edge of the rivers and lakes, there must be a few brushes." In the same way, if those girls and children don't have a few brushes, will the school let them represent the school?
Chu Hanyi pursed her lips, and her disdain overflowed: "Teacher Zhang, I have no intention of derogating or discriminating against girls and children, but the difficulty skills come from a flexible mind, and the attainments of Chinese culture come from the accumulation of time. In such a prefectural-level selection competition, girls and children gather, one of whom is still from an ordinary rural middle school, how much do you think it can be? There may be sharp tongues and sharp mouths, and there may be saber rattling, but it is probably a bit difficult for strong people to expect them to interpret this topic with strength and depth, right?"
Zhou Zhihu touched his round belly and said, "Hearing you two say this, I have a little more expectations for this game." Otherwise, the old man will sit in the village today and set up a gambling game, you each bet on who will win or lose, and the losing side will wait for a while to invite the big guy to eat Pingqiao tofu and drink Yanghe Daqu. How?"
"Is this still a gamble? it must be won in Huai'an Mansion!"
Although Chu Hanyi was very crazy, he was not stupid, and he easily saw the huge advantages of Huai'an Mansion: "Is this still a gamble? It must be won by Huai'an Mansion! Huai'an Mansion can enjoy great fame throughout the country, and the students are among the best in the whole province and even the whole province, and the debaters selected from them are naturally outstanding. Although their main general is a high school child, the role of the main general in the competition is not too prominent, and with the help of other debaters, it is not difficult to win. - As for why their school has a 14-year-old high school freshman in charge, I suspect that they have found that this kid has a lot of potential, so they will let him participate in the competition now to experience it, so that he can lead the team to achieve good results in next year's competition!"
Zhang Hong naturally knew that Huai'an Mansion had a better chance of winning, but he had been advocating that girls should not be underestimated, and he had the intention of deliberately parting with Chu Hanyi, so he immediately protested and said: "Oh, yes? I think the women's army of Pingqiao No. 2 Middle School has a good chance of winning! Doesn't it say in the art of war, 'mourning soldiers will win' and 'put them to death and come back to life'." Pingqiao No. 2 Middle School has stopped at the first round of the selection competition for many years, which can be regarded as a mourning soldier; now it is unconventional, putting on the wonder of the women's army, which can be described as a place of death; plus they have a home advantage, facing Huai'an Fuzhong, which aims for next year's game, and it is not impossible to turn the tables!"
Zhou Zhiwat looked at the others and said, "The two of them have already bought and left, do you have any opinions? Do you want to bet on it too?"
"I feel that Pingqiao No. 2 Middle School may have a drama this time! Look at the way their principal smiles toothless, just like a hen that has stolen a fox, you can feel that there must be a conspiracy!"
Although Huai'an Fuzhong has not performed well in liberal arts competitions in recent years, it has a great family and a profound heritage, and in addition, it can recruit the top students in the province every year, and its strength is definitely not comparable to that of Pingqiao No. 2 Middle School. Especially this time I also sent a freshman in high school, if there is no killer feature, I don't believe it!"
The remaining judges expressed their opinions. However, no one paid attention to it, and Zhou Zhiwat just played with his words slightly, and shifted the focus of the dispute between Zhang Hong and Chu Hanyi from who was right and who was wrong to who lost and who won on both sides of the debate.
Two hours passed quickly.
The debaters of the two teams of Huai'an Fuzhong and Heping Bridge No. 2 Middle School appeared in front of the judges again, and their faces were obviously a little more dignified than two hours ago. It seems that after analysis, they have all discovered the traps behind the debate. Finding a trap is nothing, at most it can only prove that the level of the two sides is above the normal line, the key is how to use this trap on the field to pit the opponent fiercely, that is the master!
After the referee read out the rules of the debate, the host Zhou Zhiwat announced the official start of the game: "The following is made by the main general of the positive side, and the time is 5 minutes." ”
The girl with thin lips stood up suddenly: "Judges, friends of the other party, good morning! Today, our opinion is 'Cang Liao is honest and knows etiquette'. In his work "Mencius", Yasheng Mengke mentioned many times: "The people are the way, those who have constant production have perseverance, and those who do not have permanent production have no perseverance." There is no perseverance, and there is no way to do it. In today's parlance, only those who have a certain amount of property income have a certain moral concept and code of conduct, and those who do not have property income do not have a moral concept and a code of conduct. Without a sense of morality and a code of conduct, they will act recklessly, break the law and discipline, and do all kinds of bad things.
Meng Ke also gave a clear answer in the book, that is, 'a five-acre house is full of mulberry trees, chickens, guineas and dogs are animals, and a hundred acres of land should not be taken away from the time', so that 'looking up to one's parents and one's wife are enough to live for life, and the fierce year is free from death.'" In other words, it is necessary to 'make the warehouse solid'! After the warehouse is full, it will be possible to 'teach the order of the order and support it with filial piety,' so that the people will become knowledgeable and courteous.
Because only when there is food at home can the people not panic in their hearts, and only then can they get rid of the bad habit of eating the weak and the strong, and calmly stress what is courtesy, courtesy, and courtesy; on the other hand, only when the canteens are full can the people have the ability and conditions to practice etiquette and benevolence. Wang Yangming has a cloud: 'Knowing but not doing is no different from not knowing.' If you want to truly 'know etiquette', you must be full of warehouses and be able to practice them. To sum up, we believe that 'Cangli knows etiquette and etiquette'. Thank you!"
As soon as the words fell, they won the warm applause of the judges. Zhou Zhiwat also nodded secretly in his heart: Look at this girl's ease with the content of "Mencius", and even knows Wang Yangming's famous sayings, this game will not be too bad. Zhang Hong should be roughly right, Pingqiao No. 2 Middle School sent such a women's army to come prepared!
Jiang Shuiyuan was also shocked.
When it comes to quoting classics such as "Mencius", Jiang Shuiyuan thinks that it is not inferior to her, and even surpasses it. But in the eyes of Fu Shouzhang, Chen Di and others, this kind of side-by-side expedition has become a lofty table. If Fu Shouzhang and the others lose their morale because of this, or if every debater in Pingqiao No. 2 Middle School can do this, then the Huai'an Mansion Squadron will be in trouble
Who knew that the girl also deliberately glanced at the debaters of the Huai'an Mansion squadron before sitting down, and the provocation was clearly revealed!
