Is this really a time for me to catch up with a Gilded Age?

Cheng Qi put down the newspaper and thought about it, as his mind was running rapidly, the water in it seemed to be getting less and less.

Judging from various circumstances, this year, the year 2591 of the Confucian calendar - although he does not know how many years it corresponds to, but he has estimated that according to the formation of history, the Great Song Empire has probably stepped into the door of the second industrial revolution with one foot, generators and motors are coming out of the laboratory, as well as internal combustion engines and chemical industries seem to be booming.

It's a pity that Cheng Qi was a liberal arts student in his last life, and he seems to be a college student majoring in literature and history in this life.

However, as the saying goes, there are always three axes in crossing: sugar, wine, and glass, oh, this is a science class. The three-plate axe of a liberal arts student should be a poetry copying and writing strategy.

For example, if the overlap rate between this world and the world that Cheng Qi came from is not 100% or 0%, then Cheng Qi can probably become a generation of grandmasters by shaking out those world-famous martial arts novels that he used to spend time in. After all, he had already discovered from the lace news in those newspapers that the hobbies of the people in this world were still very similar to the world he came from.

What might you want to copy? Cheng Qi already knows that he is now a student who has just been admitted to the University Park of Tokyo, which is roughly equivalent to a senior in high school in his previous life.

It's better to engage in some popular novels, Cheng Qi opened a newspaper supplement, because this society has not yet evolved the Internet, and many novels are still serialized in newspapers to attract readers.

Of course, a good novel can bring a sustained and stable income and a lot of social fame, but Qi thought about it, the novels he read seem to be dominated by Western literary masterpieces, and if they want to be published in this time and space, how can they be "sinicized", and it is a big project to think about it, and the Chinese people's own novels, the best path is undoubtedly martial arts novels. He also read two long-form martial arts articles that are being serialized in the supplement, although it cannot be said that the food is tasteless, but compared with the Jin Yong novels that Cheng Qi has read, it seems that it is still a few fires behind.

"Why don't you start with Jin Daxia first?" Cheng Qi was a little moved: A new martial arts genius writer who debuted at the age of eighteen, this title is very eye-catching. However, if you think about it carefully, it seems that something is wrong: Jin Yong's martial arts' open-door work "Book of Swords and Enmity" and the finale "The Legend of Deer and Ding" are both set in the Qing Dynasty, and in this time and space, the Great Song Empire has been alive for seven or eight hundred years and has not hung up, and the wild boar skin tribe still doesn't know in which ravine to contribute prey to the nobles of the Great Liao Empire.

As for the classic trilogy "Shooting the Condor", "Condor" and "Yitian", it is obvious that the head of the Qiu Division was unable to pass by Niujia Village and died. "Blue Blood Sword", no matter whether Inspector Yuan is a loyal minister or a loyal minister, he has not to write it. The other works are either not of high quality or Cheng Qi feels that he is not familiar with them and is not easy to copy, and the only thing that can be written seems to be "Smiling Proud Jianghu", as for what happened after writing this one...... We'll talk about that later.

Cheng Qi put away the newspaper, trying to find some pen and ink, and happened to want to sleep with a pillow, when his mother, Zhu Rui, came in with a few books.

"Grandma."

"I've eaten it, I've seen you."

"Well, I've eaten, my sister gave me dinner."

"This is the book that your father asked me to bring you, I'm afraid you will be idle and boring."

"It's still Abba who thinks thoughtfully." Cheng Qi likes to read both in his previous life and in this life, so he hurriedly took it over, only to see that it was a few books that he had never read, "Famous Books of the Ministry of Literature and Youth", these authors and titles are unheard of, and they are the indigenous writers of this plane.

"Go to bed early at night and don't stay up late." Zhu Rui sat on the chair where Xia Yusi had sat in the afternoon: "The doctor said that you would stay in the hospital for a few more days for observation, and the family of the girl you rescued also said that they would come to see you." We're afraid you'll wake up tired and let them come back in a few days when you're in better spirits. ”

"Oh." Cheng Qi is very indifferent to this, he went into the water to save people by instinct, as for whether the other party comes to see him, it is a matter of conscience of the other party, and it has little to do with him.

"Grandma, I want to discuss something with you." Cheng Qi put the book next to his pillow: "Can you bring me some paper and pen tomorrow...... I want a hard pen and a notebook. ”

"Can't be idle again?" Mom smiled: "I know you can't fix this scribbling problem, and I'll bring it to you tomorrow morning - just don't be tired." ”

Cheng Qi looked at his mother in Han costume, and a warm current surged in his heart, I don't know when the image of his mother in his memory has been completely replaced by Zhu Rui's appearance. From the time she was young, until the corners of her eyes slowly climbed into the crow's feet, but he sincerely admired in his heart: The mother wearing Hanfu is really the most beautiful person in the world!

His mother sat here with him until about six o'clock and left, and Cheng Qi sat on the bed alone and unconsciously finished reading a popular novel - the so-called famous works are often just popular novels from one or two hundred years ago. And the reason why the Ministry of Literature recommends this novel is nothing more than because this novel belongs to the so-called old vernacular novel, which is somewhat different from the popular new vernacular novel in terms of word choice and sentence construction.

In fact, literature is a process of constantly entering the vulgar from elegance, from the Book of Poetry as the Five Classics to Han Yuefu, from Han Yuefu to Tang poetry, the words were first called poems and were not in the stream, and then slowly rose to the script, classical novels, popular novels, and new popular novels...... The number of words is increasing, the language is becoming more and more approachable, and it is becoming more and more from the desk of a few literati and writers into the life of the public.

Cheng Qi read in the newspaper that the new four-level parliament is discussing the draft of the "Compulsory Education Act", and Jiangdong, as one of the richest regions in the world, has in fact mandatory six-year compulsory education for more than ten years. It is precisely because the population of literate newspapers has reached a certain scale that there are many newspapers of all kinds, especially the supplements that publish all kinds of vulgar and vulgar novelists.

Behind this prosperous Wenhua era, of course, it is not the power of thought. In fact, as far as Cheng Qi's perception of reading newspapers is concerned, the novels in these supplements are half yellow and half ghostly, especially the tabloid supplements on Liangzhejiang Road, which are simply a torrent of spiritual pollution when they read, I don't know if the atmosphere here is like this, or is the whole society under the gilding, in fact, rotten wood?
