Chapter 11: A True Prodigy
In view of the fact that Wu Yuan and Wu Tian showed their love for the art of calligraphy by selling couplets, Professor Chu Ninghe was naturally very happy to keep these two "little disciples" at home and take advantage of the Chinese New Year holiday to teach them carefully.
However, according to customs, on the third day of the Lunar New Year, Wu Jianguo wanted to go back to Shangdong County to sweep the tombs and worship his ancestors, and his son and daughter always had to bring one back.
It's hard for Wu Tian now, and the grandfather was practising calligraphy in the study during the New Year, not to mention the frolicking of the cannons, and even the study door was easily not allowed out. I can only use the trick of urine and feces to escape, run out of the study to find my grandmother to ask for a piece of candy beef jerky or something to spice up the boring spirit, two days later, Wu Tian regretted that he should not be for more than 200 yuan, insisting on pretending to be a prodigy, attracting the attention of his grandfather, suffering from such suffering, not to mention that the money also scored half of the old sister, it is really a gain that outweighs the loss.
But even Wu Tian didn't want to be honest for a moment, but in the past two days, Chu Ninghe has been more and more surprised, how long has it been, this kid's handwriting is so much better, seeing that some adults who have practiced calligraphy for several years can't write much better than him, and he can't even write a lot of traditional characters with complex calligraphy and painting even if he hasn't even gone to elementary school, which makes Professor Chu even more surprised.
"Wu Tian, who taught you this poem?"
On this day, Professor Chu sent away a student who came to visit, and when he returned to the study, he saw that the newspaper where Wu Tian practiced calligraphy was not written in the basic words "home, fly, and eternity" arranged by himself, but some chaotic poems and sentences.
"I saw it myself." Wu Tian casually pointed to a copy of "Ancient Literature and Views" on the desk and said.
Chu Ninghe picked up the book of "Guwen Guan Zhi" on the table, and his face became strange. You must know that Lu Dao's "Guwen Guan Zhi" is not a modern version of the world's circulation, but the first edition of Zhonghua Book Company in 59 years, and the upper and lower volumes are all arranged in traditional Chinese vertical versions, not to mention Wu Tian, a good child of Liu 7 years old, even some of his new students, and he may not be able to read it through.
"You understand?" Chu Ninghe asked suspiciously, and couldn't help laughing at himself after asking, this is also a vain question, if a six-year-old child can understand ancient texts, who would believe it?
But he didn't want Wu Tian to be a little smaller, and replied very "honestly": "I understand." But I don't know some words, grandpa, why is this 'bird' so strange? ”
Chu Ninghe was first startled by Wu Tian's sentence of "understandable", and then looked at the word "bird" that Wu Tian asked, he couldn't help but laugh, and felt a lot relieved in his heart, and said with a smile: "This is not a bird word, it is a 'lonely' word for 'crane'." ”
It seems that this kid is smarter than normal children, and he can recognize more words, just look at "Guwen Guan Zhi", and can write a few sentences silently on the left and right half of the sentence, even if he doesn't seek to understand, he can't even recognize the words, and he can still be regarded as a little prodigy.
"What kind of thing is a crane?" Wu Tian asked with a studious look.
"A crane is a wild duck." Chu Ninghe patiently told his grandson: "Luoxia and the lonely bird fly together, this sentence means that when the sun sets, there are red clouds floating in the sky, and there is a wild duck flying next to it, Xiaotian, think about it, isn't that kind of picture very beautiful?" ”
Wu Tian tilted his head, looking like he was seriously imagining, then shook his little head and said, "It's not good-looking, if you fly a big white goose, it will definitely be more beautiful than a duck......
Chu Ninghe couldn't help but let out a "uh" sound, and was completely defeated by his little grandson.
It's no wonder that the dignified professor talks to a six- or seven-year-old kid about the artistic conception of poetry, which is purely looking for abuse.
"Grandpa, you know so much, why don't you teach me to read, don't let me write, it's too boring." Wu Tian immediately launched an offensive to plan the early artistic conception and draw a good plan, and shouted coquettishly at his grandfather.
Chu Ninghe's eyes flashed brightly. As a professor of the Department of Chinese, the old man's "main business" is still to teach ancient Chinese, calligraphy is just a hobby, the reason why I have always thought about teaching juniors to practice words, is just thinking that they are young, and they can't really teach them esoteric things, and practicing words is just to lay the foundation from an early age. Now seeing that the little grandson is so interested in reading, it seems that he can write classic poems silently after turning the book twice, and he can't help but move the idea of teaching in advance.
"Hehe, okay, Xiaotian wants to learn, grandpa will teach you, but you can't practice words, so let's do it, in the future, you will practice words for two hours a day, and I will teach you to read the rest of the time, how about it?" Chu Ninghe rubbed the top of Wu Tian's head lovingly, and said.
Wu Tian was immediately overjoyed, and as soon as he threw away the brush, he picked up "Guwen Guan Zhi" and asked his grandfather to teach him to read.
However, Wu Tian soon found out that he had miscalculated.
Originally, Wu Tian thought that reading is better than boring practice, after all, reading is more of a matter of understanding, let's just say this "Ancient Literature Guanzhi", we have already read through it in our previous life, just pretend to let my grandfather teach two sentences, as long as I can say a sentence, I will naturally have a lot of time left to read other books - there is a big bookshelf of books in my grandfather's study, and the old man is not that kind of rotten Confucian, and the types of books are not limited to ancient texts, and even some "idle books" are openly placed on the shelves, so you don't have to worry about passing the time.
Who knew that once the old man of Lu Dao put on a shelf, he was not generally strict, completely ignoring the "Ancient Literature Guanzhi" held by Wu Tian, and first turned out a copy of the "Three Character Classic", let Wu Tian memorize by rote, and if he couldn't memorize it, he would be punished for practicing calligraphy, and he had to write a large newspaper in small letters!
This is a bitter little prodigy, you have to know that Wu Tian's temperament in the previous life of Lu Dao was the most annoying this kind of rote memorization, not that Wu Tian has a bad memory and can't memorize it, but he is smart by nature, he will look at it, and he really has no patience to gnaw hard and memorize, otherwise it will not be bad except for English, and all subjects are excellent.
Poor Wu Tian is smart but was mistaken by cleverness, when he was just practicing words, Chu Ninghe was not very concerned, Wu Tianda could practice words at the same time, and he was engaged in the trick of "urine escape", this reading, especially every time Professor Chu explained, this kid could understand immediately, it was completely aroused Professor Chu's interest, and he paid more and more attention to Wu Tianna, and became more and more strict, and he must read aloud by memorizing the "Three Character Classic", and he must concentrate on it, and it is impossible to be lazy again.
Poor Wu Tian can only bear the heart and seriously endorse it, who knows that it is not very difficult to memorize it, the body of six or seven years old is when the mind is clear, and the memory is not generally clear, plus Wu Tian in the previous life has seen the "Hundred Lectures", and he is very impressed by the full text of the "Three Character Classic", more than a thousand words of the "Three Character Classic", it only took a day and a half to memorize it all - this is still the afternoon of the first day, Wu Tian kept trying to steal and play tricks after unsuccessfully, and then began to recite it seriously!
This result can't help but surprise Professor Chu, it seems that our little grandson is not just a little smarter than ordinary children, in the past, "Three Character Classic", "Hundred Family Names", and "Thousand Character Text" as children's enlightenment textbooks, these three books will have to be learned for several years!
This kid is a prodigy by standard!
Since there is a prodigy grandson, Professor Chu naturally mentioned the spirit of ten percent, and said that he had to teach him well......
