Chapter 3: Romance of the Warring States and the Three Kingdoms
After uploading the first chapter of "How Bad Guys Are Trained", Huang Yifan used the computer to check some knowledge again, and saw that it was 10 o'clock in the evening, and Huang Yifan was ready to sleep.
The next day, Sunday, is still a weekend.
Now Huang Yifan is only the first semester of the third year of junior high school, and he does not need to make up classes on weekends.
Perhaps, after the next semester, there will only be one day off.
Although it is a rare double holiday, Huang Yifan does not plan to rest, his life is less than a hundred years, and there are still many things to do.
Because he was still unfamiliar with this world, Huang Yifan walked to the library again.
"Yifan, today you are the earliest. β
The old man looked at Huang Yifan with a smile and said.
"The old gentleman said with a smile, I am not the earliest, you are the earliest. β
"Okay, I'm the first, you come in. β
Yesterday, Huang Yifan was too impressed, and this time there was no registration, and the old man directly asked Huang Yifan to enter the library.
Romance of the Warring States.
Yesterday, Huang Yifan took a look at history, and today, Huang Yifan is going to take a look at the four famous novels of China.
It must be very good to be called a masterpiece.
For this reason, Huang Yifan found a work of one of the four famous novels - the Romance of the Warring States.
Looking at the name, it should tell the story of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.
However, there was no such work in his previous life, and Huang Yifan was not sure.
Holding a thick copy of the Romance of the Warring States Period, Huang Yifan read it carefully.
This look, another day has passed.
Until, when dusk was approaching, Huang Yifan finished reading all the books of the Romance of the Warring States Period.
The Romance of the Warring States, heh, compared to the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, is really too far away.
Although he finished reading it, after reading it, Huang Yifan made an evaluation of the Romance of the Warring States Period.
returned the Romance of the Warring States Period, and Huang Yifan was ready to go home.
"Yifan, what book are you reading today?"
Yesterday's old man came over again and asked Huang Yifan.
"Romance of the Warring States. β
"Romance of the Warring States?"
The old man was a little strange, "The Romance of the Warring States is not for junior high school students, you have been reading this book for a day, right?" β
"Yes, I read it for a day today, I was so tired, and I finally finished reading this book. β
"Ah, you're still done?"
"Yes, I'm done, old man, is there anything wrong?"
"This ......"
The old man shook his head, "There's nothing wrong with me, I'm just a little weird." By the way, since you have finished watching the Romance of the Warring States, I wonder what you think of the Romance of the Warring States?"
"Evaluation. β
Huang Yifan also shook his head, "I'm just a little kid, how dare I have any evaluation of the four famous novels." β
"Hehe, classmate Yifan, I didn't expect you to be so old. However, if you want me to say, there is nothing to be afraid of commenting on. The four famous works are said to be masterpieces, but they are actually novels written by the author. Since it is a novel written by the author, as a reader, you are qualified to evaluate him. It doesn't matter if the evaluation is good or bad. β
After the old man finished speaking, he blinked and looked at Huang Yifan, "Yifan, what do you say?" β
"Well, let me tell you my personal understanding. β
The old man's words made Huang Yifan admire, but he didn't expect that this old gentleman was really open-minded and could treat famous works so calmly.
"I don't think the Romance of the Warring States is a novel?"
"It's not like a novel, but what is it like?"
"Like history. β
"History?"
"Yes, old sir, reading the Romance of the Warring States Period, I just feel as if I am reading the history of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. Although the author tried to write this work in the form of a novel, I still felt that he was too historicized. In many aspects, the description is too respectful of history, and there is no idea of the character archetype, blindly catering to history. So, I think, this is not fiction, this is history. β
Maybe I haven't read the Three Kingdoms, Huang Yifan doesn't know how to evaluate the Romance of the Warring States.
However, compared with the Three Kingdoms on the earth and the Romance of the Warring States, the judgment is high.
In addition to this, there are many naΓ―ve aspects of the author. For example, judging from the description of Qin's opponents, it can be seen that the author's position in writing this novel is still on the side of Qin, that is, he regards Qin as the protagonist. Originally, there was nothing wrong with this, and it was okay for the Qin State to dominate the world and treat him as the protagonist. However, when he wrote about other countries, he wrote too naΓ―ve about the kings and capable people of other countries, and the monarch of Qi took the initiative to surrender, and even the Zhao State, the Wei State, and even the Chu State, which was only Chu and talented, were also written naΓ―vely......"
Huang Yifan's eloquence is not bad, plus he has read too many online novels in his previous life, and his comment skills have also risen sharply.
In addition, compared with the Three Kingdoms, this Romance of the Warring States is indeed not very well written.
Among the Warring States that Huang Yifan understands, there are many stories that can be mythologized.
Jing Ke's assassination of Qin, the farewell of Dan Yishui, the prince of Yan, and the deeds of Le Yi breaking 70 cities in Qi can be compared with stories such as the burning of the company camp in the Three Kingdoms. It's a pity that these mythical histories are only hastily mentioned in the Romance of the Warring States Period. Nima, do you have to write about Qin Shi Huang in order to highlight the highlights? Can't you create a classic opponent well?
This turned over and shook off and talked for more than ten minutes.
At first, the old man in front of him didn't care, although he enlightened Huang Yifan and let him comment at will, but he also thought that a junior high school student, let alone commenting, whether he could understand it or not was the same thing. You must know that the Romance of the Warring States period is a novel written during the Ming Dynasty, although the style of writing is not in the style of classical Chinese, but it is also in the style of ancient vernacular, which is not so easy to understand. However, slowly, when Huang Yifan commented more and more, the more insightful he commented, and the more interesting he became, the old man's vision of Huang Yifan was completely different.
Surprised.
There is also shock.
Later, there was a little bit of agreement.
The old man never thought that a junior high school student at a young age would have such an opinion.
What's more, this insight seems to look pretty good.
Of course, if Huang Yifan's words are to others, others may scoff at them, even if the analysis is reasonable, they will ignore it. These are the four great masterpieces, and those who can be called masterpieces are no one who writes better than him. Since no one writes better than him, what right do you have to say that he writes badly?
However, the old man has been teaching for decades and has always been committed to cultivating students' thinking, and he hopes that some students' thinking is different from his own.
It's just a pity that after so many years of teaching, most of the students' thinking is still relatively orthodox, and few of them jump out of this range.
The Huang Yifan in front of him, for the old man, is the one who jumped out of orthodox thinking.
"Awesome, awesome. β
Yesterday, the little guy's Yellow Emperor and Emperor Yan fought, and the legend of Hou Yi shooting down nine suns has made the old man unable to sleep.
Unexpectedly, today directly shocked the old man.
Looking at it now, how can this kid have such a simple aura, it is clear that there are faint traces of success.
"Yes, Yifan, your insights are very unique, we can continue to communicate another day. It's not too early, you can go back. β
"Yes. β
Huang Yifan nodded and left the library.
"Old Headmaster, what are you thinking?"
After Huang Yifan left the library, a middle-aged man suddenly came to the old man.
"Wang Yang, it turned out to be you kid. Why, how do you, the current principal of a secondary school, have time to come to me?"
The old man who was sighing was startled by the person in front of him, glared at the other party, and said.
"Old principal, look at what you said, without your cultivation, how could I become the current principal. Even if I don't have time, I'll take the time to see you. β
"Okay, okay, you guy, since you became the principal, you like to pat on the back, learn from whom. Let me ask you, do you know that there is a student named Huang Yifan. β
"Huang Yifan?"
Wang Yang touched his chin, and after a while, he said with some embarrassment, "This, old principal, which class and grade is this student in?"
"So you don't know. β
The old man sighed in disappointment, "I thought that you kid was not bad, and the school might be able to cultivate more talents under your leadership." But I didn't expect that you hadn't even heard of a student with such talent in front of you. β
