Chapter 52: From History

Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.

With curiosity and dreams, the freshmen finally walked onto the university campus.

After a series of lively and fresh activities, such as garden tours, orientation parties, college networking and other activities, after a week of silence, it was time to start the official class.

The first academic year of Xiangjiang Chinese University is not divided into majors, but is engaged in general education, and the first-year students are all basic subjects, and the majors are divided in the sophomore year.

However, general education stipulates that students must choose courses across majors and disciplines, which ensures the rationality of students' curriculum structure from the institutional point of view, and thus makes students' knowledge structure tend to be reasonable.

It is said that this will allow students to make a variety of choices and grow up freely and naturally, which is conducive to cultivating an independent personality and the habit of independent thinking.

However, despite this, there are still many students who will take their own majors in their freshman year.

For this phenomenon, the academy neither encourages nor hinders, and is a bit laissez-faire.

With such a free and autonomous learning atmosphere, there are many new students who are still ignorant but greedy for perfection, thinking that the more courses they take, the better. The result, of course, was that he suffered a lot, but he didn't fall into the two ends.

Because the result of general education is that there are many subjects, and the knowledge that needs to be learned is very complex.

Of course, a week's worth of class time is actually not much, but the teacher adopts a guided teaching method, and will make a long list of books and assign some so-called "homework" before taking a certain course. At the beginning of the class, all the knowledge points are simply pulled through in class, and then the students are asked and asked about the key and difficult points.

If you don't read and eat the books on those books list, you will probably not know what you have learned after a class, and you will be confused and feel in vain.

However, it is not easy to read the books on the book list, and it requires students to have a high degree of independent learning ability and spend a lot of time outside of class.

As a result, most students will feel a little struggling and stressful to deal with. Only a small percentage of them are able to learn, or even be able to do so.

Lin Jing is of course one of the small groups that is at ease, and Liang Yinning, pure science subjects are easy for her, but liberal arts are somewhat difficult, such as Chinese. This is very strange, she can pick up a novel that is also in Chinese and read it for three days and three nights without sleeping, but as soon as she picks up other books in Chinese, she is drowsy.

Hong Kong Chinese University, New Asia College, Xiafei Building 6O1.

Saturday, 7:45 a.m.

"Yinning, get up."

Lin Jing got up at six o'clock, washed up, ran for ten minutes, bought breakfast by the way, and then read English and Chinese ancient poems alternately for about thirty minutes, to a simple bath and breakfast, knocking on Liang Yinning's door at half past seven.

Everything is going on in an orderly manner.

"I don't have classes today, don't call me, I stayed up until two o'clock last night to sleep." Liang Yinning's lazy voice in the quilt was heard in the room, and in this campus, it is common for students to stay up until the early hours of the morning in order to study the list of books on the book list.

"Then I'll go to the library, breakfast will be on the table in the living room, and you can eat it yourself when you get up." Lin Jing's brain is so good, but she didn't realize the pain when Liang Yinning, who is good at calculating numbers, went to study "Homer's Epic".

"Got it." Liang Yinning replied weakly.

Lin Jing shook her head, took her backpack and went downstairs.

The morning sun is rising, and the golden light is ten thousand ways.

She rode her bicycle and braved the morning breeze through the trees.

Although there are buses on campus, there are not too many of them, so there are many students who use bicycles to get in and out like her on the school road.

More than ten minutes later, the Qian Mu Library of New Asia College appeared in front of him.

The Qian Mu Library is named in honor of Qian Mu, one of the founders of New Asia College, and is one of the major libraries of CUHK. Because today is a Saturday, and the library usually opens an hour later on Saturdays and Sundays, Lin Jing didn't come until eight o'clock.

Lin Jing was certainly not the first student to enter the library, and when she arrived, it was already full of people.

Because it was the first time she had stepped into a library that was designed to mimic the library of Billia College in Kentucky, she felt a little new and glanced around.

The entire library is divided into three floors, two on the ground and one underground.

The layout of the first floor is slightly varied, with a lobby and registration desk for consultations, a large study room, and a large hall for the exhibition of the works of visiting artists and students of the art department.

The second floor is the main body of the library, which is a library with a variety of books.

The basement is a collection of periodicals, newspapers and magazines, where you can read most of the periodicals, newspapers and magazines in Hong Kong, although there are also foreign languages, but the number is not large and not so timely.

After understanding it clearly, Lin Jing went up to the second floor and went straight to the history bookshelf.

"History of the Ming Dynasty", "Yizhou Historical Materials", "Ming History Chronicle", "Ming Shilu", "Cambridge History of the Ming Dynasty of China", "1587, An Insignificant Year", ......

Fifteen books on Ming Dynasty historical materials were taken out by her one by one. The maximum number of books borrowed is 15 for undergraduate students.

Among these fifteen books, the Cambridge History of the Ming Dynasty written by foreign experts in the history of the Ming Dynasty is in English, and the Chinese version is not available for the time being. "1587, An Insignificant Year" was written in English in 1976 by the Chinese-American historian Huang Renyu and published by Yale University in 1979, and the Chinese version is not yet available. You need to wait until the Chinese version comes out to see the familiar title of the book "The Fifteenth Year of Wanli" in later generations.

With Lin Jing's current English Cheng dΓΉ, it is not easy to read The Cambridge History of the Ming Dynasty of China and 1587, The Year of Irrelevance without hindrance, and there are many obscure words that need to be consulted in the dictionary.

As a result, her reading progress cannot be as fast as reading books like flipping through books before, which has to be said to be a pity.

It's time to improve your English!

Lin Jing, who was immersed in the historical ocean of the Ming Dynasty, was patted on the shoulder behind her back.

Lin Jing looked back, wasn't this Liang Yinning, and then almost jumped up in shock, looked left and right, and now many people were saluting them, and hurriedly pulled Liang Yinning up and walked in the direction of the bathroom.

"What are you doing here?"

"I didn't do anything, I came to the library to accompany you, and by the way, I borrowed books or something."

"A pair of heavy makeup painted like ghosts, and what are these on your body?"

"What the hell, I seriously doubt your aesthetics, isn't it that I stayed up late last night and had too many dark circles under my eyes. It's hot, what to wear if you don't wear a hip skirt, do you want a short skirt? As for high heels, don't you think there is a glamorous and frosty temperament in me now? ”

"Yes, you're cold and glamorous, and you're so beautiful." Lin Jing spat her angrily, "But don't you wear high heels to the library, it's so quiet here, others think you're here for tap dancing." ”

"No wonder I always feel a thorn in my back along the way, it turns out that this high heel is to blame."

"Okay, borrow a good book, let's go back, with your delicate flower sitting next to me, I can't sit down here for a moment."
