Chapter 932: Evidence of plagiarism
The Romance of the Gods plagiarized Journey to the West.
At the moment, everyone in the audience was stunned.
The Romance of the Gods and Journey to the West, they have all seen it. Some can even memorize the plots of the two works. Looking back carefully, it seems that the Romance of the Gods did not plagiarize Journey to the West at all.
However, why did Zhang Ning say that the Romance of the Gods plagiarized Journey to the West?
This topic is too exaggerated.
"Professor Wang, do you think the Romance of the Gods has copied Journey to the West?"
A few viewers next to Wang Longxin asked Wang Longxin in a low voice.
"Ridiculous, how can it be plagiarized."
Wang Longxin shook his head directly, "The Romance of the Gods and Journey to the West are completely unrelated stories, how can it be plagiarism." ā
"By the way, why don't you stand up and ask Zhang Ning, I want to hear what kind of plagiarism he said."
It's just that after Wang Longxin finished speaking, the audience on the side did not move.
What's going on.
Go on, ask Zhang Ning.
Didn't you just say you were going to embarrass that guy?
The opportunity came, what happened, why didn't there move?
He gestured to the few people next to him with his eyes again, and when there was no result, Wang Longxin snorted dissatisfiedly.
These guys, after listening to my classes for so long, don't think of themselves as teachers at all.
Forget it, you can't count on them, it's better to expose this guy's fake scholarship yourself.
Thinking in his heart, Wang Longxin said directly, "Wait, Mr. Zhang Ning, I want to ask when the Romance of the Gods plagiarized Journey to the West." Which plot plagiarized Journey to the West, if there is no evidence, you can't mistake people's children. ā
After Wang Longxin finished speaking, the audience all looked at Wang Longxin.
Hey, isn't this Professor Wang, who gave a lecture before?
What's going on, he's still lecturing at noon, and now he's offstage.
Also, this Wang Longxin seems to have an enmity with Zhang Ning.
Looking at this tone, it is clear that it is a smashing field.
Although he has doubts in his heart, Wang Longxin's questions are also everyone's questions.
It's just that they didn't say it.
"Hehe, this guy has come to question himself."
Seeing Wang Longxin standing up, Zhang Ning laughed in his heart.
If he dares to say such a thing, he naturally has a definite answer.
Could it be that Zhang Ning is crazy and throws out a conclusion that everyone subconsciously disagrees with?
"Professor Wang, I am not mistaken, you will know in a moment. As for why I said that the Romance of the Gods plagiarized Journey to the West, there are enough reasons and evidence. Next, I will focus on laying out some of the evidence one by one. ā
In the previous life, about the Romance of the Gods and Journey to the West, I don't know how many times I have been studied by everyone.
Especially after the rise of the Internet, he has brought countless novel lovers to join it.
Although many people are full of mistakes and omissions in their research, China is so big, and there is no shortage of those geniuses.
They have a lot of opinions, and they are all very correct.
For example, this Romance of God plagiarized Journey to the West, and in later generations, it is already a certainty and has been recognized.
The first piece of evidence.
Presumably, when you watch the Romance of the Gods and Journey to the West, you will definitely find that the Romance of the Gods and Journey to the West have a great connection. Take the characters as an example, there is Nezha in Journey to the West, and Nezha in the Romance of the Gods. There is Li Jing in Journey to the West,
There is also Li Jing in the Romance of the Gods. Then there are Yang Jian, Sanqing, and Lei Bu Zhengshen Wenzhong...... Wait a minute. It can be said that the immortals in the Romance of the Gods can find prototypes in Journey to the West.
"Hehe, Mr. Zhang Ning, your evidence is too unreliable. Journey to the West and Romance of the Gods are originally a collection of countless Chinese mythological stories and mythological characters, and it is normal for some of them to have the same mythological characters. If this is also plagiarism, I am afraid that countless Chinese novels are plagiarized. ā
Although Wang Longxin has not really studied two mythological novels, he has accumulated a lot of experience when he is studying academics, and he directly denied the evidence that Zhang Ning took out.
"It seems that Professor Wang is very anxious, not in a hurry, the meal has to be eaten one bite at a time, and the words have to come step by step. As you said, the first piece of evidence is only an explanation of the similarities and connections between the two works. If you rely on such evidence alone to prove that the Romance of the Gods plagiarized Journey to the West, it is indeed a bit reluctant. So, let me say the second piece of evidence. ā
"Have you noticed that the style of Romance of the Gods is very similar to that of Journey to the West?"
After asking this question, Zhang Ning turned on the big screen.
"Maybe you can't recall any similarities between the two works in terms of style, then, it doesn't matter, I can take two paragraphs here for everyone to enjoy."
While speaking, Zhang Ning operated and called up the two paragraphs of text that had been prepared before.
"This is the description in Journey to the West, and this is the description of the Romance of the Gods. Judging from the style of writing, everyone must be able to find out. The style of the Romance of the Gods is very similar to that of Journey to the West, and we can even see that the Romance of the Gods seems to be deliberately anti-Journey to the West. ā
When this evidence was spoken, everyone nodded from time to time.
Both the words and the style of the words are very similar.
Unexpectedly, the Romance of the Gods really intended to prevent Journey to the West.
When I read two novels before, why didn't I find it?
However, the audience nodded, but for Wang Longxin, he didn't think so.
As a professor at Fudan University, as an academic researcher.
He knows too well that the definition of plagiarism in literature is really very vague.
"Zhang Ning, the second evidence cannot prove that the Romance of the Gods plagiarized Journey to the West. Presumably Zhang Ning, you also write novels, and it is normal to have a certain similarity in the style of writing. The definition of plagiarism in literature does not say that the style is similar and it is considered plagiarism. If that's the case, it's the same as I said at the beginning. If a similar style of writing is also counted as plagiarism, then there are too many examples of plagiarism in China. ā
"Yes, Professor Wang, you are very genealogy. Just from the similarity of the style, it is impossible to define the plagiarism of Journey to the West. So, let's look at the following two paragraphs. ā
A gust of wind, the universe spreads; A thunderclap shook the mountains and rivers. A flash, drilling clouds and flying fire; One day was foggy, and the earth was overshadowed. The wind shouted, and the thunder was fierce. Flashing red silk, foggy stars and moons. The dust and sand of the wind drum are blowing on the face, and the thunderous tiger and leopard are hidden. The birds of Flashhoo are noisy, and the trees are foggy without a trace. The wind stirred up the waves of the "Tongtian River", the thunder shook the Tongtian River, the flashing made the Tongtian River completely bright, and the fog covered the cliffs on the banks of the Tongtian River. The wind is good, and the rocks and pines of the fallen mountains are down. Good thunder, stinging and hurting people. It's so flashy, the sky shines on the wild golden snake. It's foggy, and the gangsters are in the sky.
This paragraph is the description of the Tongtian River in Journey to the West.
And the Romance of the Gods, he actually took this passage of text as a description of the Zhuxian Sword Array.
Take a look:
The wind is howling, and the sky is rippling; The thunder was fierce and shook the mountains. The electric switch is red silk, drilling clouds and flying fire; The fog obscures the sun and the moon, and the earth is covered. The wind blew the sand and dust, the thunder frightened the tigers and leopards, the lightning flashed and the birds danced, and the fog made the trees disappear. The wind only stirred the waves of the "Tongtian River"; The thunder only shook the boundary card and cracked the landslide; The lightning only flashed to the eyes of the immortals in the Xuan Immortal Array; The fog only fascinated the people under the canopy. This wind really pushes the mountains and turns the rocks and pine fences down; This thunder is really majestic and shocking; This electricity is really flowing from the sky to the wild golden snake; This fog is really pervasive, and it is covered with nine layers.
Although Xu Zhonglin, the author of the Romance of the Gods, has changed this paragraph slightly, such as turning a gust of wind into a wind howling, and changing the Qiankun Spreading to the Qiankun Ripple, but the shaking mountains and rivers in the back are also copied, and there is the earth covering the back, and even long sentences, the thunder is so shocked that the tiger and leopard are hidden, and the fog is so foggy that the trees are gone, and these are also copied.
These two sentences were taken out, and the audience was stunned.
Zhang Ning continued,
This is not the most strictly copied, maybe Xu Zhonglin, the author of the Romance of the Gods, copied it confusedly, obviously he wrote about the Zhuxian Sword Array, and even "Tongtianhe" has a "iconic" word in Journey to the West. I really want to know, where is the Tongtian River in the Romance of the Gods.
Plagiarism is not plagiarism, you will know it when you compare it.
If it is only similar in style and related in content, it is impossible to prove that it is plagiarism.
But if it is word-for-word, or even more than 30% of the text in a paragraph is the same as everyone else's, then it can be completely defined as plagiarism. In particular, more than 80% of this text in the Romance of the Gods is plagiarized from Journey to the West, just like the Tongtian River, it feels like it has been copied without careful inspection.
Of course, if the Romance of the Gods just copied this, then forget it.
A novel is hundreds of thousands of words, and if you copy a little bit, there is no need to dwell on it.
But the problem is that the Romance of the Gods is not just copied a little.
Later, please see these two paragraphs.
Journey to the West 98 times:
So the four people led the horses and carried the burden, and entered the view together, but they met the immortals one by one. Immediately ordered to watch the tea and fast, and asked the child to burn incense soup and bathe with the holy monk, so as to ascend to the Buddha land. That'sā
After the completion of the work, it is advisable to bathe, and the nature of refining and taming is innocent. Thousands of hardships are now over, and the nine precepts and three conversions have begun to be renewed.
The devil really ascended to the Buddha land, and the disaster was eliminated so he could see Shamen. Washing dust and dirt is completely unstained, and the reverse restoration is not bad.
The masters and apprentices bathed, and they didn't feel that it was getting late, so they rested in Yuzhenguan.
71 Chapters of the Gods:
Kong Xuan laughed and said: "A faction of nonsense, come to confuse me again!" The Taoist said, "Listen to me." I saw that you had a song as a witness, and the song said:
It is advisable to bathe after the completion of the work, and refine the nature and innocence. Heaven opens in Zifang to become enlightened, and the nine precepts and three refuges begin to be new.
Take off the feathers and return to bliss, beyond the cage of the gods. Washing dust and dirt is completely unstained, and returning to the original is not bad.
Kong Xuan was furious when he heard this, and slashed the sword Wangdao on the top. The quasi-Daoist brushed the Qibao Miao Tree and brushed Kong Xuan's big pole knife aside.
After the work is done, it is advisable to bathe...... This paragraph of the poem was completely copied again.
Lao Xu, this guy still made the mistake of the bull's head and the horse's mouth when he plagiarized.
In the previous article, the Zhuxian Sword Formation came out of a Tongtian River, and perhaps the Tongtian River can be said to be a metaphor, not that the Zhuxian Sword Formation really has a Tongtian River. However, the 98 poems of Journey to the West are clearly written about Tang Seng taking a bath in the water, which shows that they are really taking a bath. However, in the Romance of the Gods, this quasi-Taoist and Kong Xuan are about to fight, and they can still take a bath during this fight, so you don't take Kong Xuandao too seriously. Or is it that the realm of the quasi-Tidao person has reached an unparalleled height, and he can not take a bath in the water, but even stand there and take a bath?
