Chapter Eighty-Four: Clearing the Roots
"I'm sorry to disturb everyone's Yaxing. Chie Tanaka bent down and apologized.
Li Dejin took out the chalk head from his coat pocket and aimed it at Chie Tanaka and popped it out, which was a "unique stunt" he practiced in the third elementary school.
The head of the chalk is impartial, right in the head of Chie Tanaka.
Tanaka Chie raised her hand to protect her head, then lowered her arm again, and bent down again to apologize: "I'm sorry, please forgive me! ”
"Yaga (bastard)!" said Mori Oshima, who was sitting in the back row, suppressed his anger and gritted his teeth.
He clenched his fists and left his seat, trying to attack Lee Dekim, but was stopped by his tablemates.
Shen Zhaoyin really wanted to rush over and slap Li Dejin in the face, but immediately thought again: "Now is not the time, it will make my classmates think that I am not patriotic and worship foreigners." ”
Because the classroom was very noisy, Du Xinlei didn't notice the actions of Li Dejin and Oshimamori, and said as he walked back to the podium:
This is how the word "China" comes from: there is a place in Jiangxi Province that produces porcelain called Changnan, and ancient India recorded the name of this place in Sanskrit.
Later, the English China used the pronunciation of Changnan to refer to China or porcelain, and the Japanese also said the pronunciation of Changnan as Zhina. This would have been a normal thing. ”
"Thank you, sir, for your care!" said Chie Tanaka bowed to Du Xinlei.
"Chie Tanaka," Du Xinlei said again, "However, in the future, try not to use the word "Zhina" to refer to China."
Listen to me, after the defeat of the Qing Dynasty in the First Sino-Japanese War, the Japanese, who had long respected China as a superior country, were shocked and intoxicated and did not want to call China the Qing Dynasty.
From then on, the word Shina began to take on the color of the victor's contempt for the loser. This has aroused the disgust and anger of many Chinese. ”
"Thank you, Mr. Du, for your advice! I'm really sorry! I didn't mean to. Chie Tanaka said with her head down.
"Nothing. Du Xinlei said, then turned his eyes to Li Dejin and asked, "Li Dejin, why did you tell me why Head Guan sponsored you to study in Haizhou?"
"Because we don't have a middle school in the town of Chenan. Li Dejin replied.
"Students," Du Xinlei continued, "our Chinese characters and Chinese culture have a long history.
Japan and Korea, as well as the island of Luzon, have been using Chinese characters since the Sui and Tang dynasties in China.
However, most of us Chinese rarely go far away, and we can't understand words dozens of miles away from home.
Regiment Commander Guan said that the soldiers he led could not understand each other. So he believes that if a person wants to make a difference, he must get out of the house as soon as possible. ”
"Mr. Du, I understand. Li Dejin said.
Du Xinlei raised his hand and motioned for Li Dejin to sit down, and then continued: "Students, there are two of you from Japan.
In order to be able to learn Chinese culture smoothly, they learned Chinese. This spirit is well worth learning from all of us. Please continue to listen to Chie Tanaka's speech!"
"Thank you, Mr. Du!" said with a bow, Tanaka said, "The understanding of the truth in Western countries that 'green is taken from blue and green is blue' has gone through a difficult and long process.
In 500 B.C., Hebertius, a disciple of Pythagoras in ancient Greece, discovered the astonishing fact that if the length of the sides of a square is one, the length of the diagonal is not a rational number.
This is very different from the Bi school's philosophy of 'everything is numbered, and all numbers are reasonable'. ”
"What are you talking about? Nonsense!" Li Dejin muttered.
"Don't pay attention! Tanaka Chie, please continue!" Du Xinlei said, glaring at Li Dejin at the same time.
Chie Tanaka turned to Du Xinlei and bowed, "Thank you, sir!" and continued, "Students, this discovery of Hebersius has made the leaders of the school, especially Pythagoras, very frightened and angry, believing that it will shake their dominance in the academic world.
As a result, Hebersius was imprisoned, tortured in every way, and finally punished by the death of a shipwreck. Thank you!"
With that, Chie Tanaka bowed to her classmates and walked back to her seats.
"Well said!" Shen Zhaoyin took the lead in applauding.
After the applause, Du Xinlei said: "This matter is thought-provoking, and the persecutors of Hebersius are his teachers.
Students, the dignity of the teacher must be adhered to, but 'the party is the same as the other, and the painting of the frontier should be suspended!
The Western and Eastern powers are sober, and the Chinese nation cannot be complacent and stick to the old ways!
Please keep in mind the words of Mr. Zhongshan Qiao - the world's trend is Haohao soup, those who go along with it prosper, and those who go against it perish. ”
"Mr. Du said it well!" Shen Zhaoyin applauded again.
Finding that no one was paying attention to him, Li Dejin wanted to repeat the old trick. He stole a glance at Chie Tanaka, only to find that she was looking at him and smiled softly at him.
Chie Tanaka's smile made Li Dejin feel very embarrassed.
Li Dejin began to regret his recklessness, and quickly put the chalk head in his hand into his pocket.
......
At the end of school in the afternoon, Du Xinlei called Li Dejin to his office and took out a piece of letterhead from a drawer for him to read the poem on it - Five Laws • Wing Chun.
"The word goose writes the blue sky,
The east wind dyes the green fields.
willow embankment wave stacked cui,
Pear Sea Snow Drift Yan.
Outside the bay window,
The sound of the warbler falls on the pillow.
double butterfly dance among flowers,
Tong Chau flies the kite. ”
Looking at it, Li Dejin couldn't help but read it out loud, and then couldn't help but praise: "Good poem!"
"Please tell me more about this poem!" Du Xinlei said.
"The first joint is straight to the point, the heaven and the earth are connected by geese and the wind, and the atmosphere is surging!
In addition, the 'word' formed by the wild geese is the word 'people', and the 'people' also follow the heavens.
Look at it again, the first couplet and the jaw couplet are neat, delicate and vivid, and the verbs are written, dyed, stacked, piled, floated and fallen, which are used very appropriately and vividly.
In the neat battle, the neck couplet substituted the poet himself.
Oh, it turns out that the poet is still in bed! It turns out that this couplet is a real writing, and the front and back triptych are imagination, a combination of fiction and reality, and it is one and the same. ”
"Well said!" Du Xinlei exclaimed, and asked again, "What about the tail couplet?"
"It's okay!" Li Dejin said, "When I see the 'Tong Suo' of the tail couplet, I can't help but worry in my heart: I must not come to the neat battle again, it will look dull!"
Sure enough, it was a false alarm, and the sentence pattern changed in the neatness, achieving the effect of natural carving.
At the same time, the phrase 'Tong Suo' also pushed people's activities in the spring to a climax. Sir, I'm done. ”
"You commented very well. This also shows that the level of your poetry is also good. Du Xinlei said with a smile, and then asked, "Do you know who wrote this poem?"
"I think...... It was Mr. Du himself who wrote it!" Li Dejin said confidently.
"It's not me," Mr. Du said, "but one of your classmates, Chie Tanaka." She asked me to help revise it, and said that she would write additional poems every week for me to revise. ”
