Chapter 310 South Yang and North Liang
Li Huayong looked directly at Dr. Kong with his trademark smile on his face, ready to ask the other party. In the face of Li Huayong's seemingly harmless face, Dr. Kong of course had a smile on his face, but his heart was crooked.
It should be that Dr. Kong's reaction is very normal, and it is human nature. If he dares to give a lecture in a university like Jitong, he is certainly prepared to be questioned or even provoked. However, human nature is like this, even if he is questioned and provoked, Dr. Kong hopes that this person can be a little higher.
Take the three people in front of him as an example, not to mention the beautiful girl next to him, even if Lin Kai asks, Dr. Kong may feel better. But it was neither, it was the young man who laughed like a fool who was ready to ask him questions, which made Dr. Kong feel uncomfortable.
At this moment, Dr. Kong even felt that he was not optimistic about the yellow calendar when he went out today.
"I just heard Dr. Kong say that compared with the developed countries in the West, the architecture of our country is still very backward, and there is a huge gap with them, and this backwardness is still all-round, from construction technology, design ideas and even the entire architectural concept, we are lagging behind the West in all aspects, isn't that so?"
Hearing Li Huayong make such remarks as his opening remarks, Dr. Kong Da felt relieved, and at the same time he despised Li Huayong even more in his heart, and said in his heart, Are you just questioning this? Isn't this what those brainless and angry young people in China like to question the most? It seems that he has encountered such a number one today.
In the same way, we can't blame Dr. Kong for his contempt, you must know that in this era, "public knowledge" like him, or "elite", has just appeared in China, and who are the biggest opponents of their group? That is, of course, the "brainless and angry youth" in their eyes.
However, in this era, the combat effectiveness of the "angry youth" is completely inadequate, and they are often bombarded into slag by the "public knowledge elite", and this phenomenon has not changed until the advent of the Internet era.
"Yes, that's what I just said, what, does this classmate think there's something wrong?.... By the way, I forgot that you weren't classmates in our school, so I don't need me to answer your question, I still ask the students here to tell you....."
Speaking of this, Dr. Kong turned his gaze to the crowd and made a very graceful and imposing round of inspections: "Students, do you think what I just said is correct? Is there a problem with this statement?"
No one echoed Dr. Kong's words, and certainly no one refuted Dr. Kong's words. It was only after Dr. Kong said this sentence that Li Huayong felt that more eyes were on him.
It's that kind of "disdainful" gaze.
Of course, Li Huayong knew why everyone didn't agree, even Tang Hongjun, because everyone thought that such a question was not worth answering at all. Yes, what Dr. Kong just said, isn't this the consensus of all people in this era? If such a question is echoed, wouldn't that be lowering one's own grade?
I must admit that college students in this era are still cute, and the vast majority of them are still very disciplined, and everyone can't do that kind of thing.
Of course, Li Huayong was mentally prepared for this, so in the face of many "disdainful" eyes, he was not in a hurry, he stared at Dr. Kong calmly and said:
"Yes, I think Dr. Kong's statement just now is debatable, compared with the developed countries in the West, our country's construction industry is backward, but it is only backward in construction technology, and even in terms of construction technology, our gap is mainly concentrated in the use of new materials and new processes, we are not backward in the basic field, as for what design ideas you just said, and even the entire architectural concept of our country is lagging behind the West, ......how to say it?
Well, Li Huayong brought the "hehe" of later generations to this era, and his expression ability is still good, at least at this moment, he interpreted the meaning of "hehe" very clearly, and everyone present understood it.
"You!"
Sure enough, with Li Huayong's "hehe" sound, Dr. Kong's face immediately changed. To say that Dr. Kong also thinks that he is a well-cultivated person, but no matter how well-cultivated a person is, he is "hehe" like this by a person who "laughs like a fool.......
Li Huayong still has the same dignity, and he still looks at Dr. Kong like a fool, but at this moment, Li Huayong's eyes when he looks at Dr. Kong are mixed with more irony.
Of course, Li Huayong knew that Dr. Kong would choke on himself, because he had just singled out the "metaphysical" things such as "design ideas" and "architectural concepts", which were difficult to explain clearly, and Li Huayong even thought that arguing about such things was actually a bit boring.
Li Huayong has always thought that he is a kind person, and Dr. Kong is also a peer, if he gave a real technical lecture today, Li Huayong would definitely not be so scorching. However, Dr. Kong is not, he is the kind of person who specializes in peddling the so-called "advanced ideas of the West" in China.
If that's all it takes, Li Huayong won't be embarrassed by him. It's like Western oil painting and our country's ink painting, if you like oil painting, that's your freedom, and if you say how good oil painting is in China, that's fine.
But you praise oil painting while belittleing ink painting, and even rely on belittling ink painting to elevate the status of oil painting, which makes Li Huayong unaccustomed to it, which is why Li Huayong is standing up now.
The so-called Eastern and Western architectural concepts in the architectural world are of course similar to the comparison of oil painting and ink painting, and to compare the advantages and disadvantages of this thing, of course, it is not clear in a few words, or even never clear. However, at least in the field of architecture, our country's architectural concept still has a very high status, and even to a certain extent, the Eastern architectural concept is higher than the Western architectural concept, and it is not an exaggeration to count them as half a teacher.
In his previous life, Li Huayong mainly focused on structure, and of course he was not good at things like this kind of concept, and the reason why he dared to provoke this topic today was of course because he was prepared and had this confidence.
"I heard that Dr. Kong studied at Harvard in the United States, and he got his doctorate there...... right?"
While Dr. Kong had not come back to his senses, Li Huayong continued to stare at him with that harmless human and animal eyes, and then threw out the first question:
"Then I think Dr. Kong must have taken the course "General Theory of Architecture" before studying for his degree, so I would like to ask Dr. Kong, which gentleman wrote the textbook you used to read this course?"
Hearing Li Huayong's question, Dr. Kong's face became ugly again, because he instantly understood what Li Huayong meant. But what should I do? In public, it was impossible for Dr. Kong to lie, and there was no room for him to play on this question, so he had to swallow a mouthful of saliva with difficulty, and Ai Ai replied:
"Yes, it's Mr. Yang......"
Dr. Kong didn't answer loudly, but the teachers and students in the classroom heard it. Mr. Yang: This seems to be a Chinese, so many people began to turn their heads and ask what is sacred.
Li Huayong smiled slightly, it should be said that Dr. Kong's reaction was expected by him. Why did he expect it? This starts with the course "General Theory of Architecture".
Well, the "General Theory", of course, will not be a very profound knowledge, simply put, this course is a bit similar to the "General Outline of Martial Arts" in martial arts, which is considered the "General Outline of Martial Arts" of architecture.
However, this is the crux of the matter, in fact, not only Harvard, but also the architecture departments of many famous universities in the United States are using the same "General Outline of Martial Arts".
Now you should be able to understand why Dr. Kong's face suddenly became ugly, and he couldn't even speak? You must know that he was just advocating Western architectural concepts and how advanced the Western set is, but the "General Outline of Martial Arts" of Western architecture was written by a Chinese.
The whole classroom began to get noisy, and many students began to talk to each other and began to ask each other who this "Mr. Yang" was.
Originally, Li Huayong still wanted to pretend to be forced at this time, and he was still thinking about whether to say this answer himself, or to let Dr. Kong Da say this answer. It's a pity that the appearance of a person, to be precise, is the appearance of a voice that makes him unable to pretend.
"It's Mr. Yang Tingbao, Mr. Yang Tingbao, the students won't know it. ”
Li Huayong turned his head and saw that it was Lao Qian, Professor Qian Zhengying, who had dealt with him several times. He didn't know when he came here, Li Huayong looked at him, Lao Qian seemed to have just come back from a construction site, wearing a work clothes, and his clothes were dirty, when Li Huayong looked at him, he also happened to look at Li Huayong, and smiled at him in a friendly manner.
As Lao Qian gave the answer, the whole classroom did not fall silent, and the discussion and noise became louder.
Yes, because he is Mr. Yang Tingbao! This name may not be familiar to outsiders, but as a builder, you can't know it.
Because he is one of the founders of modern Chinese architecture, he is a master architect on the same level as Mr. Liang Sicheng, and the "Nanyang" who is known as "Nanyang and Northern Liang" in the Chinese architectural circles. His reputation may be slightly inferior to Mr. Liang, but his status in the industry is not low at all, and he is even more stable than Mr. Liang----- after all, like Mr. Liang Sicheng, there are still people in later generations who question that his works are not many, but Mr. Yang Tingbao does not even question this aspect.
After throwing the first question, Li Huayong waited quietly for a while, waiting for the noise in the classroom to be a little quieter.
After the classroom became quiet again, Li Huayong smiled at Dr. Kong:
"Okay, now the second question ......."
