"The chivalrous man is dead, and the martial arts should stand!"
Professor Sun was holding a copy of Nanfang Daily, which had just been delivered this morning, and a headline below caught his attention.
Jiangnan City is the base camp of chivalry, and you can still see such news in the local newspaper from time to time.
In other news publications, it is rare to see the word chivalrous now.
The professor of classical philology is a superficial identity, and since the heyday of chivalrous novels more than 20 years ago, Professor Sun has been a famous chivalrous author. Today, the readers who still remember his name are middle-aged and elderly, and young people may have seen his works, but they only know the three heroes of chivalry.
Professor Sun is one of the three masters in the field of chivalrous novels.
His real name is Sun Fangren, and his pen name is Sun Changqing.
"This is modeled on the slogan of the Yellow Turban Uprising, the Yellow Turban revolutionized the life of the Eastern Han Dynasty, this is to revolutionize the life of the knight?"
The old professor, who was in his sixties, frowned, a little helpless.
has a weak heart, speaking of today's chivalrous novel authors, there are few in the country, and there are only dozens of people whose works can be seen in newspapers and magazines.
The shrinking readership is one thing, and on the other hand, the chivalrous novel itself cannot make a breakthrough.
There are no new authors in this type of literature, and when the older authors close their pens one after another, it is the time when chivalrous literature dies.
The author also has to eat, and there are only three people in the country who can really write chivalrous novels as a job, including him.
Sun Changqing, Sima Mingfeng, and Donghai Sanren.
Among the three major chivalrous families promoted by the chivalrous readership, there are two good and one evil.
The works of Sun Changqing and Sima Mingfeng are relatively orthodox, and the writing is deeply influenced by traditional Chinese culture, which is known as the Liangzheng. However, the works of the Donghai Sanren are strangely written, the sword goes sideways, and has a strong personal style, which is called a wickedness.
Professor Sun Lao, that is, Sun Changqing, a chivalrous master, disagrees with this statement.
Good and evil should not only look at the style of the text, but also look at the ideological core of the work.
In the works of the Donghai Sanren, the words are different, but the core of the works is still the set of traditional culture, while Sima's works are mostly about personal freedom.
This is influenced by Western culture.
In the past decade or so, cultural exchanges between China and the West have become more and more frequent, and free thought has also occupied the minds of some readers.
However, Sun Changqing, who studies traditional Chinese culture, is opposed.
The texts that have been handed down from ancient times, including those saints, thinkers, educators, etc., have never taught this when they teach their younger generations.
Most of the Chinese characters with "self" are not good words, self, complacency, self-pride, self-ashamed, arrogant......
Even if there are some good words, they are self-esteem, self-humility, and self-improvement...... Freedom was never spoken.
Not even self-confidence, also from the West.
You say you're confident, that's fine, but at the same time, if you don't have self-humility in your heart, you're arrogant.
This is because the basic composition of Eastern and Western societies is different, and the family is composed of individuals as the bond, while the Chinese society is based on the family. Unless you are an orphan, how can you be free when you are born into the small society of your family?
Therefore, Huaxia is the home country and the world.
Sun Changqing devoted time to studying the cultures of mainstream Western countries, and found that they are not absolutely free. That is impossible, because the result of absolute freedom is chaos, and there must be rules to reconcile individual contradictions, so there can be no freedom.
Then Sima Mingfeng is wrong to use the chivalrous man in his works to preach free thought.
At least in order to cater to some readers, they deliberately misinterpret the true meaning of freedom, and emasculate Western ideas and instill them into them, intentionally or unintentionally.
If it is really said that there are two good and one evil in the three families of chivalry, then the evil one is not the East China Sea Sanren, but Sima Mingfeng.
This is Sun Changqing's view.
So he has always looked down on the chivalrous association established by Sima Mingfeng, and has never accepted the invitation, but he has met with the Donghai Sanren. In the end, I found out that the other party was just a middle school Chinese teacher in his thirties, and there was an age gap, and then the communication was replaced by a phone.
……
"A high school student?"
The Nanfang Daily news article quoted online information.
The martial arts advertisement two days ago and Shen Zhe's peach blossom poem are on it, because chivalrous literature is now too degenerate, and the word martial arts has not caused any waves in the real media. The reason why it appeared in the newspaper was mainly because the peach blossom poem was so amazing that the media couldn't ignore it.
"What a hidden immortal!"
Professor Sun's eyes lit up, and he immediately conceived a chivalrous character in his mind.
He shook his head and smiled, he hadn't created a new work for more than two years. It's not that he can't write, but even if he writes again, it's a boring repetition, and he won't be ready to write until he finds a way to break through the framework of his previous works.
It is better to focus on teaching, and perhaps a few new authors can be cultivated.
I know that I am not optimistic, and young people nowadays prefer to read some youth literature, or all-vernacular historical novels, which are easy to read.
Even some translated texts that look quaint and have many lovers.
Then he saw the news that "Chinese Youth" had launched a martial arts column, and Professor Sun squinted his eyes and carefully looked for clues.
It's a pity that the ad only revealed a new concept and no specific content.
At this time, the door of the office was pushed open, and a student knocked on the door and came in, standing three meters away and respectfully said, "Teacher Sun, we would like to invite you to participate in the association activities tonight, I wonder if you are free?"
Professor Sun smiled and said, "I don't participate in your young people's activities, as an old man. ”
The student said, "Teacher Sun, this event is mainly to discuss a peach blossom poem, and our Ancient Poetry Association would like to hear your comments at that time!"
"Oh?" Professor Sun was stunned and pushed the newspaper in his hand over, "Is this a poem?"
The student stepped forward to take a look, nodded and said, "It's this peach blossom poem, it turns out that Mr. Sun also read it, and it is said on the Internet that it was created by a high school student......"
Professor Sun suddenly asked, "Then what do you think of martial arts?"
"Martial arts?" the student was stunned, "What is that, a chivalrous novel?"
Professor Sun shook his head, it seemed that the students didn't pay much attention to martial arts, but he was interested. Since they dare to put forward a new concept of martial arts, and it has also been recognized by the editor of a magazine, there will inevitably be something that impresses them.
"Well, I'll take a look at it when you're active, and I like this poem too. ”
The student happily said, "Thank you, Mr. Sun!"
Professor Sun waved his hand: "Don't thank me yet, you can help me do something." ”
"Okay, what's the matter, Mr. Sun, you say!"
"Go and ask anyone of you who has the latest issue of "Chinese Youth", help me find a copy, I want to read the above article. ”
The student was dumbfounded: "Teacher Sun, that's a youth magazine, you ......"
"Why, can't the elderly read youth literature?"
“…… Yes!"
Not to mention that the student ran back to borrow the magazine, Professor Sun waited left and right in the office, and did not wait for the student for more than an hour.
On the side of the road at the corner of the campus square, the student was standing there, his eyebrows fluttering. One will admire, the other will pose in various poses, and he will not care about the eyes of others looking at fools.
It turned out that after borrowing the magazine from my classmates, I was a little curious about what kind of article could arouse Mr. Sun's interest.
flipped through the pages and turned to the martial arts column, and immediately realized that as a student, I had heard that Professor Sun Lao was a chivalrous man. Then, what interests him must be this martial arts column.
glanced at it casually, but unexpectedly fell into the pit.
When I look at it, I forget about the time, and forget the teacher's task in the back of my mind.
It wasn't until "I want to know what happened next, and listen to the next decomposition" that I came back to my senses, and hurriedly rushed to Professor Sun's office.
"Damn, what the hell is going to break it down!"
……
At this time, the middle school Chinese language teacher Tokai Sanren also learned about the peach blossom poem from the students.
After class, I naturally couldn't help but look for the source, and then I also saw the news of martial arts from the Internet, smiled and shook my head.
"A high school student, who doesn't know whether he is alive or dead, wants to write a chivalrous novel, oh, no, it's a martial arts novel, and the editor of the magazine is also familiar with it?"
"I'd like to see what the hell you can write!"
With that, he got up and walked out of the campus, went to a newsstand not far away, and bought a copy of "Chinese Youth".
[It's about to be 515, I hope to continue to hit the 515 red envelope list, and the red envelope rain will be able to give back to readers and promotional works on May 15. A piece is also love, it must be better!]
