The Chinese Empire did not have the classic work "Dream of Red Mansions"!

When Su Wen found out about this situation, he was ecstatic, thinking that he could be Cao Xueqin's second.

Later, through understanding, he could only regret and be disappointed.

The wisdom of the people can never be underestimated, in this world, there is no "Dream of Red Mansions", but there is "Lin'an Dream"!

This is a popular novel written by a man named Tang Ming four hundred years ago, set in Lin'an, the capital of the Southern Song Dynasty, and writes about the rise and fall of several large families, with protagonists like Jia Baoyu and women with different destinies.

Although Su Wen didn't read this "Dream of Lin'an" carefully, he read the synopsis of the story, and turned a few pages casually, and found that it was similar to "Dream of Red Mansions", with similar contexts, similar stories, and even similar words.

There are all kinds of exquisiteness, all kinds of poems, all kinds of characters, and all kinds of destinies, which can be regarded as the culmination of classical novels, and it is a great pinnacle.

If you carefully distinguish it, you can find that "Lin'an Dream" and the Red Mansion are like carved out of the same mold, although some details are not quite the same, but if the original version of the Red Mansion is drummed out, it will not bring much praise, on the contrary, others think that this is a plagiarism of "Lin'an Dream"!

The characters are similar, the characters are similar, even the context of the story is similar, and even many of the plots are the same, you say, what is this not plagiarism?

After understanding, Su Wen could only give up the possibility of being Master Cao.

Besides, this world is different from another one after all, the Red Chamber in the previous life can be said to be the most praised work among the four famous novels, but the Chinese Empire did not have the shame of the Qing Dynasty, let alone the avalanche-like dynastic background, but entered the constitutional monarchy era early, everyone has no bitter hatred and cognition of feudalism, and naturally will not have much feeling for the elegy of the feudal society.

"Lin'an Dream" was included in the four famous novels. It's really that its narrative mode and writing and rhetoric have reached an extreme, and the literary art is more distinct.

In the Chinese Empire, the four famous novels with the highest reputation, the greatest fame, and the most loved by people are "Romance of the Three Kingdoms"!

The glory of the Chinese Empire was achieved with the expansion of the country, and people had infinite admiration for the heroes who expanded their territory. Since childhood, he has dreamed of becoming a hero of great significance to the country and the nation.

Most people grew up listening to the stories of these heroes, and they have a feeling of killing the world and forging ahead as heroes. In this way, among the four famous novels, "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is very much in line with their tastes.

There are all kinds of conspiracies and conspiracies, there are civil ministers and military generals, politicians and military strategists, and there are ...... It can be said that as long as it is the image that the reader wants to become, it is all in this novel. So. It's hard not to make this work a favorite work!

Well, these are the attitudes of this era towards classical classics that Su Wen found out through reading.

Even if Su Wen sighed no matter how useless he was, who let him not be born hundreds of years early, if he could be reborn before the authors of the four famous books, then he would drum up these four works, and I believe that no one can surpass the status of Chinese literary history. It is not an exaggeration to say that there is no one before and no one after us.

It's a pity!

The two classes passed in Su Wen's cranky thinking while reading the handouts.

On the podium, Professor Hou Bowang had not finished telling the details of the legendary story of the Tang Dynasty and announced that the next class would continue. Just let the students out of class.

Su Wenru was granted amnesty and wanted to leave before others reacted. lest they be asked to watch and ask for autographs or exchanges.

Before he walked out of the classroom door, he was stopped by Hou Bowang who was standing at the front door.

"What else does Professor Hou command?" Su Wen stubbornly walked towards Hou Bowang.

Hou Bowang continued to recruit Su Wen to get closer, and then said softly: "Su Wen, I am not a person who eats the ancients, it doesn't mean that I have to come to my class to be a good student." I also know that it is not a good way to teach students according to their aptitude, and a unified system is not a good way for students. But you didn't even meet with me. That's disrespectful to me, at least, you have to respect our knowledge, right? ”

Su Wen said yes again and again, saying that he must be careful, and he will definitely come to class in the future.

Hou Bowang waved his hand and said, "I know that your status in the literary world is not low now. I know you're busy with all kinds of writing, so I'm not opposed to giving you preferential treatment. ”

"What does the professor mean......" Su Wen was puzzled, before the professor ordered him to come to class, and also issued a threat that he would not pass if he did not come to class.

Why are you saying such conciliatory words now?

Hou Bowang looked at Su Wen and said: "The purpose of my course is to let everyone have an understanding of ancient novels, of course, you are students of Huaxia Academy of Literature, and you are professional literary talents, this understanding must be a little deeper." How to go deeper? If nothing else, if you get a novel written in ancient Chinese, you must always be able to read it, right? It is not required to understand every sentence, then it must be clear for eight or nine points. But I don't think it's too difficult for you who have been learning ancient Chinese since childhood. Right? ”

Su Wen nodded yes, but he still didn't understand what Hou Bowang wanted to express.

Hou Bowang looked at Su Wen with a puzzled expression, so he had to say bluntly: "Let's put it this way, if you Su Wen want to get preferential treatment and don't come to my class, then you have to show your attainment in ancient novels, let me see!" ”

"Attainment? Manifestation? Su Wen was stunned for a moment.

Hou Bowang smiled lightly: "I have read your "Huaxia Youth Says", and I think your ancient literary attainments are good. My request is very simple, as long as you write three novels in ancient Chinese for me, if I think it's not bad, I will pass my course, and it is up to you whether you want to come to the class in the future. ”

"Really?" Su Wen's eyes lit up, this is the best opportunity to save time.

"I mean what I say! But only if your ancient novels can't be too bad! Hou Bowang looked serious.

Su Wen smiled and asked, "Three articles are enough?" ”

"You don't need to have more."

"Is there a word count requirement?" Su Wen asked again.

Hou Bowang shook his head and said, "I don't ask for a word count, but you have to write a complete novel, not a fable!" ”

"Is there a time limit?" Su Wen asked again.

"No, when will you hand over the three works to me and pass my review, when will you not have to go to class."

"Good! That's it! Su Wen agreed, for fear that Professor Hou would regret it.

Professor Hou smiled and said, "I hope you don't disappoint me." ”

Su Wen shrugged, isn't it an ancient novel, this can't be difficult for him! In his previous life, he was born in a literary class, and reading ancient novels is also one of the requirements, as long as he has read it, he can now search it out of his mind and "copy" it into this world.

"You see, I'm also very open-minded. As long as you can write it and the level is not bad, it means that you have studied ancient novels thoroughly, and then there is no need for me to study this course. Professor Hou finally explained.

Su Wen glanced at him deeply, and put down a sentence of ambition and pride: "Professor Hou, you wait, I'll go back and write now, and I'll hand over the three works to you tomorrow!" ”

"What...... Did I hear me wrong? Submit three articles tomorrow? Professor Hou was stunned, staring blankly at Su Wen's distant back. (To be continued.) )
