Chapter 43, Amendments

On August 15, 1921, before the start of the budget for science and technology, Metev submitted an amendment to the congress on education, and he himself was also the minister of scientific research.

Rolex Totle, the presiding officer of the conference, was very surprised when he received the report, this speed was so fast, it was rejected yesterday, and the amendment came out today. Soon he reacted, hurry up, maybe the Ministry of Education has an alternative!

"Today's budget for scientific research is a bit special, and Mr. Mejev submitted an amendment to the budget of the Ministry of Education before that, so let's finish what we did yesterday first!

The Ministry of Education's amendment to the 300 million leva of education funding was rejected as follows:

1. Abolish and expand the scope of application of compulsory education;

2. Establish two professional colleges, including an art college and a liberal arts college.

Rationale: The Academy of Arts was established with the aim of promoting the traditional culture of Bulgaria and spreading it to the whole world, with a focus on the film school.

The purpose of establishing a comprehensive liberal arts college is the same, with a focus on literature, history and archaeology. ”

After saying that, Roleotle paused for a moment, and after everyone had digested it, he continued: "If you have any questions now, please raise your hand!" ”

"The first row, the leftmost gentleman, please answer!" Rolex Totel said

The young man stood up and said, "Dear Mr. Chekov, may I ask why the Ministry of Education has included film in the focus of the Academy of Arts this time?"

From an artistic point of view, I didn't find that film is a profound art, and what qualifications does it have as the focus of our development? ”

At the beginning of the 20th century, the influence of cinema was still very small, and the art world at that time did not recognize cinema as an art, but rather regarded it as a series of industrial products.

The most representative thing is that the film is regarded as a patented technology, and Edison Film Company in the United States also relies on this technology to collect patent fees for film shooting!

(The inventors of the film were highly controversial, with the brothers Auguste and Louis Lumière in France and Edison in the United States each declaring themselves inventors.)

At that time, it was widely believed in European countries that the French were the first to invent it, and the world's first film was shot by the French in 1895. )

Chekov replied calmly: "Because of the spread, in order to promote our traditional culture, we must have strong communication, and with all this, he can bring our traditional culture to the screen and let millions of people see it at the same time, which is not available in other traditional ways!"

There is also popular art in art, although it is not recognized by the art world, but its existence is real, and film can be regarded as one of popular art!

If you want to compare high art, I think the Italians and the French have the most right to speak, the course of our civilization has been interrupted for hundreds of years, and it is impossible to compare with them in this regard!

What really suits Bulgaria is the popular arts, which are widely loved by the people, so the education program promotes popular arts, and cinema has become the focus of our development because of its wide dissemination! ”

The young man asked again: "But film is only an industrial product, not artistic, is it really possible to rely on it to spread our traditional culture?"

Even in order to please the audience, a lot of art has been distorted, which has deviated from the essence of art! ”

Chekov smiled and said: "What is the essence of art? In my opinion, art is to serve people, and the essence of art is people, and 'people' are the foundation!

Each era has its own characteristics, and the popular art is not the same, and our ancestors knew the trade-offs, so why can't they come to us?

The art that the people like is the art of contemporary Bulgaria, there is no need to forcibly distort it, and the high art should be left to the French and Italians!

We still have to respect the choice of the people, which is also the choice of the times, as long as it does not violate ethics and morality, and does not violate the art of the law, it can become the benchmark of this era! ”

"People-oriented" was taken out in such a grand manner, and it was actually for "art", Ferdinand almost laughed out loud in the background!

What is this? Big Trick? Isn't it more suitable for agriculture, science and technology, these fields?

However, the response on the field was still very good, and the applause was already ringing. Obviously, among these representatives, there are not many in the art world, otherwise it would be a different scene!

After a few moments, the room was quiet again, and Rolex Totel spoke again: "The meeting continues, raise your hand if you have any questions!" ”

"Second row, fifth gentleman on the right, please ask!"

Don't wonder why the parliamentarians are all men, although Ferdinand opened up the right to vote, the mainstream of this era is still a patriarchal society!

The people who are eligible to participate in the voting are basically men, and in terms of contribution, it is also men who have the advantage, and under fair competition, female parliamentarians are naturally difficult to give birth.

Since it was fair competition, Ferdinand naturally did not interfere, and it would have no effect on the whole society to make a few vases to decorate the façade.

As for when a female parliamentarian will appear, this can only be fate, maybe in the last ten or eight years, there will be a respected woman, appearing at the venue, this is difficult to say!

"May I ask Mr. Chekov, what is the purpose of establishing this liberal arts professional school? And why focus on literature, history, and archaeology?

We all know that writers rely on talent and cannot be cultivated by academies! Now the literary scholars in our country are basically graduates of science and engineering, but there are no liberal arts majors?

We have been learning history since childhood, is it necessary to continue to specialize in it? History graduates all over the world are supported by the state, and it is difficult for them to find jobs in addition to this.

It's a pity that I'm just a little learned, and it's hard to tell the difference between archaeology and tomb robbing, it's a profession that violates ethics and morals, and I don't think they have any effect on the country! ”

Hearing this question, Ferdinand wanted to ask very much, doesn't your conscience hurt when you say this? Who are the literature majors in Bulgaria now?

Basically, they are all rich children who are messing around, and in layman's terms, they are scumbags, and many schools do not need to take entrance exams for this major, as long as they have money, they can study!

How is it possible for ordinary people to sign up? Even if it is a personal favorite, it has been suppressed by parents, and science and engineering majors are good students!

You can't expect a group of scumbags who can't even write articles to become writers, right? Besides, this base is also a big problem, right?

At present, there are still 780,000 science and engineering students in Bulgaria, while there are only 30,000 or 40,000 liberal arts majors, and the number of literature students has never exceeded four figures!

In this era of great historical changes, it is not surprising that most of the literary scholars born are graduates of science and engineering colleges!

Chekov still calmly replied: "This question is well asked, let's talk about literature first!" Our Faculty of Arts here does not teach students how to write essays, but the writing of essays is handed in by elementary school teachers!

We established the Faculty of Letters, mainly ancient literature, to study ancient writings and unravel the fog of history. For example, there is a speculation in our scientific community that ancient civilizations may be more brilliant than our current technology; Another example is the vanished Aslant civilization, which needs to be unraveled, and ancient characters are one of the keys!

First of all, I would like to state that a historian is not the same as a rice borer, and of course a historian who is a fool of his life is really a rice borer!

There have been many disconnections in the Bulgarian civilization, and our nation has been divided by foreign forces, and even now we are only just being united.

Due to the influence of the external environment, there are still some people in Bulgaria who are poisoned and do not recognize us as a nation, which requires us to find evidence to shut up those careerists!

In fact, many of the ethnic groups that are now divided have recorded this period of history, and the ancestors hope that through the information left behind, our descendants will be unified again!

It's just that in modern times, careerists chose to destroy the truth of history for their own interests, and it was not until former Armenian President Viktorkis stood up that we uncovered the truth of history!

It's time for historians to play, this is the mission entrusted to you by the times, to uncover this hidden mystery, we need more information, so that the people can understand the truth!

Archaeology and tomb robbery on the surface seem to be little different, in fact, the difference between the two is still very big, tomb robbers are for profit, in the excavation of ancient tombs, relics, whether in the protection of cultural relics and ethics is unacceptable!

Our law also stipulates that any unauthorized excavation of ancient tombs and ruins in Bulgaria is illegal. At the right moment, the Bulgarian populace can shoot them directly!

Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, there have been three digits of tomb robbers who have died under the guns of our people, and the number of people who have been sent to the mine is at least four figures, which is enough to see the strength of the government to crack down on tomb robbers!

The main responsibility of archaeology is to protect cultural relics, find relics and materials, and unravel the mystery with historians, which is not the same as tomb robbing.

They also do not have the right to dig ancient tombs privately, to excavate ancient tombs, they must obtain the authorization of the Bulgarian government, since the founding of the country, our Bulgarian government has not authorized any excavation of ancient tombs!

Unless it is in special circumstances, under normal circumstances, the government will not give this kind of authorization, you are all overseers, so don't worry about archaeology becoming tomb robbery! ”

What Chekov did not say was that this was limited to the domestic and not abroad. Of course, if you say it, you will not object, there is no room for the Virgin Mary to live in this era.

Speaking is responsible, but it is not a matter of yelling at the Internet in later generations, according to the moral code of Bulgaria at that time.

For example, if you sympathize with refugees, then you have to pay real money to help, otherwise people will be perceived as inconsistent. At the same time, you must not harm the interests of others, which is also a crime!

As for asking the state to contribute money and efforts, it is even more non-existent, taxpayers' money cannot be wasted, and the government is not qualified to use government funds to do charity!

Ferdinand knew that this was a bit extreme in nature, but he still had no intention of changing it, and it was doomed from the moment Bulgaria was founded!

"There is a reward for paying, and rights and obligations are equal", this concept cannot be broken!
