Chapter 1003: Master of Chinese Studies

In Guo Dalu's view, this collection of short stories about gods and monsters, "Strange Tales from Liao Zhai" can be called the pinnacle of Chinese classical writing, and the only comparable to it is "Historical Records". Although there are many good works of classical Chinese in the rest, they are difficult to match this work in terms of overall quality and quantity.

The ingenuity of the pen, the exquisiteness of the language, the conciseness of the writing, and the vivid description of this work have not been able to catch up with the works of several generations of famous artists.

As far as Guo Dalu himself is concerned, his favorite is "Historical Records", followed by "Peach Blossom Fan", and then "Strange Tales of Liao Zhai", these three works, one is a book of official history, one is a legendary script, and the other is a story of gods and monsters, and among them, "Strange Tales from Liao Zhai" is the most liked by Guo Dalu, because it is short and concise, and one story is told one by one, which is written separately, and there is a silent sense of rhythm and beauty of the text, which is extremely comfortable to read.

However, this kind of article, the premise of reading comfortably is that the sentence must be broken well, otherwise, before reading, you have to do a good job of breaking the sentence, and after the whole article is broken, you can read it happily in one go, otherwise the sense of connectivity cannot be reached, and the comfort of reading is impossible at all.

However, many people in modern times no longer know the ability to break sentences in ancient Chinese, and the lack of traditional culture and the improvement of today's literary form have made the new generation feel unfamiliar with this form of reading in just a few decades.

Although there are many lovers of ancient literature, after all, there are only a few, and more people have been baptized by modern literature, accustomed to today's way of writing, and do not know anything about the learning methods of the ancients in the past.

Now Guo Dalu, in order to scare the current so-called literary masters, directly released "Strange Tales from Liaozhai", which stumped a large number of people.

In fact, these people who claim to be masters of literature are not bullshit, they are at least bachelor's degrees, and some have the title of professor, and they must be higher than ordinary people in terms of literary literacy, otherwise, they can't do it if they want to deceive the world and steal their reputation.

But you have literacy and you have ancient literacy, these are two different things, these so-called literary masters, when talking about modern literature and Western literature, may be talking about the Tao, but if you ask them if they have calmed down to read through a history book, they will immediately be silent.

It can be said that 90 percent of these so-called cultural masters in modern times have never even read the 24th History, and they have even read a "Historical Record", "Book of Han", "Book of the Later Han", "Zizhi Tongjian", such real and real literary and historical works as "Zizhi Tongjian", and they have not even turned over them.

This is also the reason why Guo Dalu scolds these guys, but as long as they can have a certain foundation in literature and history, he doesn't bother to care about these guys' boasting, but he obviously doesn't understand bullshit, and he still boasts that he has learned both Chinese and Western, which can't be endured.

The whole world of people combined, in addition to Guo Dalu, can really learn through the Chinese and Western people, can not be counted on one hand, and each has its own shortcomings, really when the word "learning through the Chinese and Western" is the cabbage on the side of the road?

This word is very important, but the ignorant are fearless, but there are a group of people who dare to apply this word to themselves, and they are not afraid of the wind flashing their tongues.

Now Guo Dalu has only published a few stories of gods and monsters in classical Chinese, and these guys have been exposed in their original form, without a fairly solid foundation and literacy in ancient Chinese, and it is really difficult to make appropriate sentences for these stories in classical Chinese.

In ancient times, literacy and sentence breaking were only the most basic things for literati, but now it has become a difficult problem to test people.

was so engaged by Guo Dalu, many of the so-called masters who were touted almost all closed their Weibo accounts, the so-called real gold is not afraid of fire, and now Guo Dalu's fire has just begun to burn, and the "gold" will automatically play and disappear, causing a boo from the whole people.

"Damn, it turns out that there are so many literary liars around us!"

"They all pretended to be like big-tailed wolves, I thought they were really knowledgeable, but I didn't expect that they were all straw bales!"

"This should be the biggest joke in the history of Chinese academics, right? In a cultural propaganda column organized by a government department, the guests invited are all pseudo-masters!"

"It's still Guo Ye who is amazing! As soon as he made a move, these guys showed their original form!"

"I only know now that Guo Ye's ancient literary skills are so profound!

"It's not too much of a problem to write in practical classical Chinese, but if you can write classical Chinese well, write it wonderfully, concisely and beautifully, this is really powerful!"

"Don't say anything, just offer your knees directly when you meet Guo Ye in the future!"

In the ridicule of these netizens, the head of the First Artillery Regiment of Guo Dalu's Fan Alliance proposed: "Everyone, these so-called masters, it must be unreliable, but these classical Chinese published by Guo Ye did not even add punctuation, and I feel uncomfortable reading it, why don't we make a sentence break for Guo Ye's article together, after the sentence break is completed, let's make a comparison, select the one that everyone recognizes as the best, send it to Guo Ye, and let him evaluate it?"

"I'm going! Why are you so talented? I'm thinking about how to humiliate these fake masters on the Internet, and you have come up with such a good idea! Tsk, I think this proposal is good, experts, professors, and masters, these people can't count on it, at this time, we have to let Guo Ye see the power of the people!"

"Okay, let's do it together!"

"Let's go!"

Guo Dalu's literary stories have no punctuation marks, most netizens are confused, I don't know what this is written, but the more confused I am, the more I want to see it, some netizens with high cultural literacy try to break sentences for these articles by themselves, and then repost the broken sentences and punctuation articles on the Internet for your reference.

Once this kind of thing is done, it immediately looks high-end and high-grade, which is much more clever than ordinary pretending behavior, which has aroused praise from many netizens.

There is a lot of garbage on the Internet, but there is no shortage of masters, since the first person took action, more and more people have joined the ranks of breaking sentences for Guo Dalu's literary language.

Internally, the members of the artillery regiment even held a "Grand Prix of Guo Dalu's Ancient Sentence Breaking", which specially "deciphered" Guo Dalu's classical Chinese, added punctuation marks, and then translated it into modern vernacular for the group of friends with low academic qualifications and cultural literacy to read.

This matter has intensified, and it has set off a nationwide upsurge of sentence breaking, Guo Dalu was originally just a scaring thing, but it promoted everyone's interest in learning.

After everyone's translation and sentence breaking, using the translated modern Chinese to compare it with the original classical Chinese, it can be seen at once that the original text is not good.

The original story is concise, with a few strokes, the characters jump on the paper, but it is a translated vernacular story, the charm is completely lost, and there is no spirituality at all, although it is still that story, but it tastes like chewing wax, and there is a lot less fun to read.

At this time, everyone really realized the value of Guo Dalu's classical Chinese stories.

"It's not inferior to the ancients at all!"

"Even more!"

"Guo Ye, this is going against the sky!"

"I think the title of master should be given to Guo Ye, he is the real master!"
