Chapter 70: Ancient Texts
"I want to compare with Zhu Ziqing, I don't know if it's okay. I saw that the young man held his head high, and his eyes were full of provocation when he looked at Zhu Ziqing.
Looking at this unruly face, Zhu Ziqing smiled bitterly in his heart. He wasn't angry, when he knew that Master Chen Qiming asked him to be a judge, he knew that this judge was not so easy to be a judge.
Student, that's it, the eldest and my second are not convinced, and they dare to act. These are all elites from various schools, how could it be so easy to let him be this judge. He was already glad that he didn't jump out directly to oppose it.
Ai Jiange and the others' faces also changed. Not long after they announced that Zhu Ziqing would be a judge, this student came out to challenge them, and it was like a slap in the face. was about to drink him back, but he first came to hear Master Chen Qiming say:
"Yes, our cultural circle needs such fresh blood who is full of blood and disobedience to authority. ”
Seeing that his behavior was approved by Master Chen Qiming, the young student's face couldn't help but show joy. Most of the other students who participated in the exchange meeting were also like this, and some even looked at Zhu Ziqing with gloating eyes.
Ai Jiange and the others were different, and they all looked at Chen Qiming in disbelief. Even the three writers who were invited to serve as judges couldn't believe what they heard was true.
They always thought that Master Chen Qiming was here to stand on the platform for Zhu Ziqing. He named Zhu Ziqing as a judge, which was a disguised recognition of Zhu Ziqing's level and status.
In the past, although Zhu Ziqing has made extraordinary achievements, age has always been his shortcoming. As a result, everyone could not accurately locate his status.
But after today, no one dares to treat him as a simple student or a genius boy. Because he has been recognized by the master Chen Qiming. The recognition of the master is a kind of capital in itself.
But now what does he mean by suddenly praising this young student again? When he said this, how could Zhu Ziqing, the judge, still be?
Didn't he come to help Zhu Ziqing stand on the platform, but to make him ugly?
Only Zhu Ziqing has always kept smiling, and the expression on his face has never changed. It seems that I didn't even hear what the master just said.
It's not that he is deeply happy and angry. Rather, he believed that the old man would not trap him. This trust comes from the old man's work and his performance.
Sure enough, the old man did not disappoint him.
After a pause, Master Chen Qiming's face changed suddenly, and he said sternly:
"I'm in favor of questioning authority. But such skepticism must be based on substance. Blindly denying it as soon as you know half of it is not a question, it is an insult. I love your spirit of challenge. But I hope you can show me your real talent later. ”
As soon as these words came out, Ai Jiange and the others all showed expressions of sudden realization. Where is the old man pit Zhu Ziqing, he is indeed opening his eyes for him.
Zhu Ziqing became famous as a young man, but he was not young enough to serve the public. Although the old man was able to use his identity to forcibly block this challenge for him, it would also make his foundation weak.
When the elderly are not around, this kind of challenge will follow. When the time comes, without the support of the elderly, it will be even more difficult for him to deal with it.
Now, with a few words, the old man has changed the flavor of the challenge. It became a battle in which Zhu Ziqing proved himself.
As long as he can prove himself this time, even if there are still people who are not convinced in the future. I can't question his status on the surface.
A master is a master, and this hand is playing beautifully. Ai Jiange and the others couldn't help but applaud in their hearts. At the same time, I was ashamed of my malicious speculation just now.
The young student who challenged Zhu Ziqing heard the second half of the old man's words, and his face froze. A flash of shame flashed in his eyes. He didn't dare to be angry with the master, but he transferred all his anger to Zhu Ziqing.
It's all you, it's all you, you wait. I want you to look good later. The young student looked at Zhu Ziqing fiercely and thought.
Although the other students who participated in the exchange meeting may not be able to perceive the old man's deep meaning, they can still see that the old man is angry. Suddenly silent, I didn't dare to say anything.
As for the students who are further away, they don't know anything. They saw a student suddenly stand up and say a few words.
Then Master Chen Qiming also said a few words, and then the student returned to the middle of the crowd. And everybody to you. Start organizing your thoughts.
"Let's not be idle, let's think about it and see if there are any ideas. I'll write it out together and let everyone comment on it. Waiting for those students to retreat, Master Chen Qiming said to Ai Jiange and the others again.
Ai Jiange and the others naturally readily agreed, and it was also a rare opportunity for them to get the old man's guidance. As for winning or losing, it's a joke for them.
Everyone is an acquaintance. Everyone knows what level they are, and there is no need to compare at all. And they also know that they are completely a foil today.
If only one judge, Zhu Ziqing, wrote an article, no matter what the final result was, it would not look good. But now that all the judges are writing together, Zhu Ziqing is covered.
But this foil they should be willing. Not to mention Ai Jiange and other faculty and staff of Wuhan University. Let's just talk about the three judges who were invited. Being invited means that you have a good relationship with Wuhan University.
Zhu Ziqing is an iconic figure in the literature department of Wuhan University, and they naturally don't want to see him unlucky. What about being a foil?
There is no heart to win, the attitude is more calm, and sometimes it can give full play to its strength. Several judges looked at each other and smiled, each pondering.
Even Master Chen Qiming is no exception. He was talking about everyone, including himself.
Zhu Ziqing can also understand the deep meaning of the old man. Although I don't understand why the old man helps him so much, this does not prevent him from receiving this feeling. He glanced at the old man gratefully, and began to ponder.
Mei Su is loved by the Chinese people as the soul of the nation, and is the first of the ten famous flowers in Chinese tradition. Its noble character of "winning with rhyme and high with character" is admired by people with lofty ideals in the Chinese nation.
Therefore, since ancient times, the atmosphere of 'Yongmei' has flourished in the literary world. Most of the writers who deserve their names have written such works.
In his previous life, Zhu Ziqing had seen many Yongmei works. Ancient poetry, modern prose, poetry, prose, etc.
Ancient poems were excluded by him in the first place, because the history before the Qing Dynasty was the same, and those works may not be able to be moved.
As for the works of the Qing Dynasty. I'm sorry, but he's interested in Qing Dynasty novels. I really didn't pay much attention to the poetry of this period.
This is not that he has any prejudice against the literati of the Qing Dynasty. Rather, it is a prejudice caused by the remarks that 'the poems were written by the Tang and Song dynasties'. Including the poems of the Yuan and Ming dynasties, he didn't pay much attention to them.
In fact, the achievements of the literati of these dynasties in poetry are also very great.
Take Nalan Ruorong of the Qing Dynasty as an example, his attainments in poetry are a must. His work is known as 'Nalan Ci'. It's just that the ancestors are too famous. It just obscured their light.
Ancient poems are excluded. He can only look for targets in modern works.
But before he could find it, he heard Master Chen Qiming smile and say, "Ziqing Xiaoyou, writing such a Yongmei article at your level is just easy, and it is not interesting." Shall we make it a little more difficult?"
"Oh, what does Elder Chen propose? "Because the old man helped him several times, Zhu Ziqing unconsciously changed the title of 'master' to the more intimate 'Chen Lao'.
Ai Jiange and the others also paused to think, looking at the old and the young with interest.
"Look at your Untitled poems and Cultural Journey. You have a deep study of ancient Chinese culture. How about we write a poem or an article in ancient style?"
Zhu Ziqing only felt that 100,000 grass and mud horses were rushing through his heart. Just now the ancient text was excluded, and you proposed to write the ancient text, deliberately.
I was about to refuse, but an article flashed through my mind. When it came to his lips, the words became: "Okay." Although there is only one word, this word is categorical.
"Okay, I'll wait and see what the old man is. ”
Ai Jiange and the others were also in high spirits, and they all looked at the old and the young, and they couldn't even take care of their own ideas.
One is a master of Chinese culture, and his attainments in ancient culture are unparalleled. One was the first day since the founding of the People's Republic of China. The study of Chinese culture is also unique.
The two of them want to have a competition in ancient texts, how can they not be excited.
On the contrary, it was Zhu Ziqing and Master Chen Qiming, both with indifferent expressions. As if it didn't matter to them, whether ancient or modern.
Zhu Ziqing has a bottom in his heart, so he doesn't panic. And Master Chen Qiming is indeed talented, and for him, ancient literature is as easy as modern literature. Just to make it easier for everyone to read, he mostly uses vernacular Chinese.
However, Zhu Ziqing was not in a hurry to carry it. The reason is simple, the time is too short. It didn't take long for him to take out the work. It's to make others suspicious.
He also began to close his eyes and think about it, but he actually studied the article in his head. Wait for him to read the article back and forth several times. But I heard someone say that he had written it. When I opened my eyes, I saw that it was the young student who challenged me.
Master Chen Qiming looked at him, nodded and did not speak. Ai Jiange stepped forward to collect his work, and after returning to the stone pavilion, he glanced at it and said, "A Plum Blossom, this is a poem. ”
Then begin the recitation:
"A plum blossom
Took away a season
She smiled
For the season
Plum blossoms don't care
That's it
A typo she scribbled on
But this season
but suffered a fragrant internal wound
It doesn't bloom
It didn't bear fruit
A plum blossom
She drove calmly
One season
But the leaves fell early. ”
After reading it, Ai Jiange looked at the young student in surprise. Even Master Chen Qiming showed an expression of approval.
Zhu Ziqing tried to appreciate it. I found that the writing was really good. If you can come to the exchange meeting, you dare to challenge the judges in front of Master Chen Qiming. Sure enough, there were two brushes.
"My work has been completed, I don't know when Zhu Ziqing will be able to write it?" Zhu Ziqing didn't want to cause trouble, but he didn't know that people would let him go like this.
Hearing this, Master Chen Qiming and the others couldn't help frowning slightly. This young student has talent. But the heart is too bad. It's not the attitude of learning.
"Unfortunately, I just happened to have an idea for it. This is written out and asked for correction. Zhu Ziqing said with a smile. (To be continued.) )
PS: The author of "A Plum Blossom" is Mr. Liu Xinwu. Born in 1909, Mr. Liu is a well-known martial arts master and primary school teacher. Part-time writing. This poem is what he wrote. Here's a borrowed one.
