Chapter 314 of the main text, Professor Hou's discovery

Next chapter

"In ancient times, there was a Zhejiang man named Ning Caichen, who was generous and bold and had good conduct. ↑,.I often say to people: I will never find a second woman in my life. Once, he went to Jinhua and came to a temple in the northern suburbs to undress and rest. The temple nave tower is magnificent, but the basil grows taller than a person, as if no one has been here for a long time. The doors of the monks' houses on the east and west sides are hidden, except for a small house on the south side, and the door lock seems to be new. Look at the east corner of the temple, there are bushes full of thick bamboos, and under the steps there is a large pool, which is full of wild lotus flowers. Ning Sheng liked the silence here. At that time, it was just in time for the school envoy to hold an exam, and the housing prices in the city were expensive, so Ning Sheng wanted to live here, so he took a walk and waited for the monks to come back......"

Hou Bowang was holding a newspaper in his hand, which was originally light and weightless, but at this time it was as heavy as copper and iron in his hand, and he needed to hold it tightly with both hands so as not to let the newspaper slip out of his hand.

His mood was also very heavy, and in addition to being heavy, he was also a little confused and excited.

This is a "Kyoto Life Newspaper", and the article reflected in his eyes is still the text in the column of Su Wen's ghost stories.

Unlike others, Hou Bowang is all too familiar with this story.

It was "Nie Xiaoqian" that Su Wen had read to him before!

However, there is a fundamental difference between the two, in which he used to read the classical Chinese version, but now he publishes the vernacular in the newspaper.

To be honest, Hou Bowang felt that Nie Xiaoqian's writing in the Su vernacular was not very good, there was not much aura, it was all straightforward and light, and there was no taste at all.

Under the contempt, Hou Bowang was a little skeptical: "Why is this happening?" So there will be a story in the vernacular? ”

In confusion, he turned out a stack of newspapers, all of which were the "Kyoto Life Newspaper" he had collected before, and the pages spread out were all pages of "Su Wen's Ghost Stories".

Yesterday's ghost story was "Painted Skin", the day before yesterday was "Infant Ning", and the day before yesterday was a story called "Painted Wall".

The latter Hou Bowang read it for the first time and felt that there was nothing surprising except for the novelty of the idea. But they all have one thing in common. That is, the length of the story is longer, much longer than the ghost stories published by Su Wen before, and the plot is much more twisty.

What dissatisfied Hou Bowang the most was the vernacular version of "Ying Ning"!

The ancient version of "Infant Ning" made Hou Bowang exclaim. The person who wrote Ying Ning also made him feel amazing, the woman's "laughter" is simply the culmination of a woman's laughter, and the laughter of a woman in the world is nothing more than this. You can almost describe a woman's smile with "a smile from the baby".

However, when written in the vernacular, there is a lot less charm, and all the laughter is just described by the word "laugh", which is simply a tyrannical thing!

"What is this, it's rubbish!" Hou Bowang was angry in his heart, feeling that the holiness in his heart had been tainted, and he couldn't wait to settle accounts with Su Wen, the initiator.

"If you have an ancient language, you can do it, why do you want to write in the vernacular? The same is true for painted skin, and so is Nie Xiaoqian...... Damn vernacular stories! Hou Bowang cursed.

He looked at the Suwen ghost stories in his hand. What comes to mind is the incomparably exquisite words and deeds, in his opinion, the latter is the essence, which is admirable.

"Why do you want to write it in the vernacular?" Hou Bowang muttered to himself.

Suddenly, his eyes were straight, his face was slightly stiff, his lips opened and closed from time to time, he couldn't say anything when he moved, and his whole expression changed from stunned to slightly excited, and his face gradually became nervous.

Crackle crackle!

Hou Bowang's mind seemed to be bombarded by countless lightning bolts. The light in his head gradually became clearer, as if a grand voice was yelling at him, "Understood! I see! It must be so, it must be so......"

"That's right! It must be so! Professor Hou slapped his palm, and the whole person jumped. He stared at the newspaper in his hand with bright eyes, and couldn't help but shout, "Su Wen must have done it on purpose, on purpose!" This guy treats us all for fools, but he fools us with the most inferior words! This guy. It's so hateful, it's so hateful, I'm going to kill him! I want classical Chinese, don't want this garbage! ”

What did he think of, why was he so crazy?

Vernacular Classical Chinese!

Hou Bowang thought of the connection between the two, and he believed that in addition to the vernacular version, there was also a classical Chinese version of these ghost stories of Su Wen.

In other words, in addition to creating vernacular ghost stories, Su Wen also created ghost stories in classical Chinese!

Evidence?

Look at the "Painted Skin", "Infant Ning" and other texts in your hand, these are the best evidence!

"No wonder I always feel that these ghost stories of his are awkward and uncomfortable to read! It turns out that he is just a translator! Translate the ghost stories he wrote! Translation...... Hehe, no matter how good your translation is, how can it compare to the original? Not to mention ......"

What's more, the Su translation is not very good!

Hou Bowang was extremely disdainful of the newspaper he was carrying, on which was the vernacular text of "Ying Ning"!

"You want to fool people with this garbage?" Hou Bowang sneered, with this guess, his association became more and more ambitious, for example, his mind began to automatically supplement the ghost stories that Su Wen had created before, "What if these ghost stories were automatically associated with classical Chinese?" ”

Taking "Painting Wall" as an example, Hou Bowang browsed the vernacular: "Meng Longtan, a native of Jiangxi in ancient times, lived in the capital with Zhu Juren. They came to a monastery by chance, and saw that the temple monks' houses were not very spacious, and only an old monk who traveled all over the world lived in it temporarily. When the old monk saw that a guest had entered the door, he tidied up his clothes and came out to greet them, and guided them to tour the temple......"

"If it were me, how should I create classical Chinese in the face of these words?" Hou Bowang frowned and pondered, "Meng Longtan, a native of Jiangxi in ancient times...... It should be like this: in ancient times, Jiangxi Menglongtan? and Zhu Juren lived in the capital...... With the surname Zhu to visit Kyoto? They came to a monastery by chance...... Occasional visit to a temple...... No, no, that's not how it feels! ”

Hou Bowang's brain hurts, he can't say that his translation is wrong, but it lacks a lot of charm, for example, it is not as natural and flavorful as the "Painted Skin" and "Ying Ning" that he read before.

Especially "Infant Ning", which is simply the model and pinnacle of ancient novels, if there are more such words, it would be great!

"More...... Su Wen ......, "At such an association, Hou Bowang was startled, because he seemed to have discovered an amazing thing, and countless classic classical Chinese stories were born!"

This kind of text that seems to be a note, once it becomes an ancient text from a short story, it is an ancient short story!

Thinking of his old business, Hou Bowang couldn't help himself, he became more and more excited, and his whole person was restless, and he couldn't wait to fly to Su Wen immediately and ask him for the Chinese version of the story.

But what if he doesn't admit it? This guy seems to be annoying me a little...... I have to think of a feasible way to get Su Wen to pull out all the articles, well, he can't refuse! ”

Half a day later, Hou Bowang came up with a method, and when he implemented it, Su Wen suddenly had nothing to hide, and it caused an uproar among the world, shocking them to the point that they didn't want to...... (To be continued.) For mobile phone users, please visit wènhttp://mnet
