Jiangming University, an elective course in ancient Chinese literature. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

At this time, Professor Chen Ming, who was standing on the podium to give a lecture, looked at the full classroom and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

It's been a few months of work, right? Thinking about how many years it has been since he Chen Ming taught the elective course of ancient Chinese literature at Jiangming University, even though the school has taken measures to increase credits because it vigorously advocates the study of ancient Chinese literature, there are still not many students who take ancient Chinese literature. Normally, this 250-seat lecture hall can hold half the people at most.

In fact, this kind of situation basically exists in universities across the country, after all, ancient Chinese literature is really boring enough.

In fact, Chen Ming is not a rigid and dead-headed scholar, although he is an educator who always promotes the breadth and profundity of ancient Chinese literature, but in the bottom of Chen Ming's heart, he actually admits that learning ancient Chinese literature is really a bit boring.

To give a simple example, when it comes to ancient Chinese literature, almost all Chinese people will instantly think of "Zhihu Zhizhi", that is, a very iconic classical Chinese.

As a writing format of ancient literature in ancient times, classical Chinese has very obvious advantages, the biggest advantage of which is that it can express the meaning of a passage in a few words, which seems to be a small paragraph of classical Chinese, but it requires readers to chew carefully to see the meaning that is equivalent to a large modern literary format to be expressed.

So to put it simply, the advantage of the classical Chinese format is that you can write a lot of meaning with as few sentences as possible in a concise way.

So what about the other way around?

The reason why there will be a literary style is because there was no invention of paper at that time in ancient times, and the text was generally written in fur, metal, bamboo slips, etc., and there was a lack of tools to record words, so the ancients would try their best to compress and compress a sentence, and express as many meanings as possible with as few sentences as possible, which is the main origin of classical Chinese.

So the problem is, of course, the advantages of classical Chinese are obvious, but every time you look at this kind of problem, you need the reader to have a certain foundation of ancient literature, otherwise you will definitely be dizzy, even if you have a certain foundation of ancient Chinese literature, then you still have to read carefully and carefully to understand the meaning of the article.

It is certainly its advantage to savor the classical Chinese, but on the other hand, if you want to understand the meaning of the article, you have to repeatedly scrutinize it for a half a day every time to see it, how troublesome it must be.

Besides, although the education circles and major schools are vigorously advocating the education of ancient Chinese literature, it is said that in the next step, ancient Chinese literature will no longer be an elective course in universities, but a separate course will be offered in high school and junior high school.

However, it is undeniable that with the emergence of more convenient and cheap carriers, such as paper and even e-books, there is no longer a need to express a lot of meanings in a palm-sized place as in ancient times.

So even if everyone doesn't mention it, and everyone doesn't say it, I'm afraid that many people think so, thinking that ancient Chinese literature is already a literature that has been eliminated.

Of course, no one dares to say it, if anyone dares to say so, it will definitely be sprayed to death by all Chinese people, after all, this is an act of forgetting the roots, no matter what is bad about the ancestors, the descendants can not talk nonsense, besides, classical Chinese as a literary style that has been handed down to this day, its advantages are still relatively obvious, more "chewy", "evocative", I didn't see those scholars, bricks all day long holding those classics can't stop like taking drugs......

Although Chen Ming is also lamenting that young people nowadays don't understand the profundity of ancient Chinese literature, it is not difficult for him to understand their feelings, after all, it is still a bit boring for them, so the guy sitting in the right corner who is constantly yawning and his eyes are squinting is still like a chicken pecking rice, and Chen Ming didn't say anything about him.

In the universities of all China, basically all the elective courses of ancient Chinese literature are not very popular, and I hope that the next step will allow primary and secondary school students to start learning this ancient culture, and they may be able to alleviate this situation by nurturing them from an early age and catching them from a baby.

However, at this time, Chen Ming's classroom was full of students, which also made Chen Ming very proud, and this kind of scene was filmed by him with his mobile phone and bragged to his "peers" in other universities.

"You've been teaching for decades, what's the use of learning well? It's not for nothing that no students listen, hey, I still understand the feeling that no one has a successor and no students understand. At the class reunion, Chen Ming took out a photo of himself in class and showed off his full classroom to his classmates, while making a helpless gesture.

"I understand you, young people nowadays, hey, I don't know the beauty of ancient Chinese literature at all, it's not how vivid my lectures are, how attractive the content is, it's purely my old Ming's luck, there are so many students who know how to appreciate my lectures." It's just that the smug look on Chen Ming's face is undisguised.

The classmates on the side could only grit their teeth and watch him pretend to be x,

Wipe! Why does Jiangming University study so much like ancient Chinese literature? This photo can't be an extras invited by Lao Ming, right?!

Students in our own school who can take ancient Chinese literature are already very powerful if they can sit half of the seats in the classroom!

"You can't do this, you know how to use a fart? Be able to speak! You're going to give lectures to young people! If you want to arouse the interest of young people, you must talk about what they are interested in......" I don't know if it's because I'm too drunk or too excited, Chen Ming, who has a red face, said and actually shook his head and talked about the class to an old classmate at a table......

Chen Ming's group of old classmates are either old professors of ancient literature in various universities in China, or some scholars, and even Liu Yuanqing, one of the judges of the Huo Zexue Literature Award and a recognized literary bigwig, are Chen Ming's classmates and friends. At this time, Chen Ming's table is full of figures with heads and faces in the literary world.

Maybe it's the joy of seeing an old classmate? Such a group of old people who have always been unfathomable and standard scholars in front of people, but at this time, like a group of ordinary rejuvenated old men, gritted their teeth and looked at Chen Ming, who was showing off his energy.

Originally, whether the students listened to or learned or didn't have much to do with them, at most they sighed that there was no successor to ancient literature, but at this time, seeing Chen Ming's goods actually showing off and bragging, I felt uncomfortable thinking about it!

There's no way, who let no one listen to their class, finally a student came, or the compulsory course next door was tired, come to make up for sleep, you can kill flies in class, look at the photo of Lao Chen, the students' shining eyes can't deceive people, it's clear that the content of the class is very attractive,

But what can be said about ancient Chinese literature to be attractive? Do you want to talk to the students about the gossip of the ancients? (To be continued.) )
