Chapter 106: Under the Fame......
For Mr. Jiang, Lin Liu is very interested.
You must know that in ancient times, not everyone could be called "sir", and because the Chinese language is broad and profound, this "sir" is not specifically referred to as a teacher or a man.
You must know this: the first child, father and brother, the older and learned people, teachers, ancestors, scholars, literati and scholars, Taoist priests, people who take face-to-face, divination, singing, medicine, feng shui, etc. as their professions, wives and husbands, etc., can be called sir, and even female branch girls can be called "sir" in some places.
Terrible Chinese connotation, terrible ancient ancestors made sentences.
Because this Mr. Jiang has never appeared, and this Accord has only been open for eight years, no one knows whether this Mr. Jiang is a man or a woman, and what his identity is.
However, his knowledge is very wide, although there are problems that have been solved every year, but most of them are solved two or three days or even a few months after the questions are solved, and there are still a large number of questions that have not been solved.
Because of this, this person did a good business, and Accord became the most loved place by literati in Jinling City in addition to the champion building.
After all, if luck comes to Mr. Jiang's problem, he can solve it, then wouldn't it be a sudden fame, not to say that he will immediately become a winner in life, but at least he can be on fire in Jinling City, and it is not necessary that someone will have the insight to fund himself in advance, which is still very attractive to the majority of poor children and cultivators, of course, the most important thing is that Accord is known for its literary atmosphere, and the fee is not high, and the method of small profits and quick turnover.
Lin Liu had seen Mr. Jiang's previous questions before, and to be honest, he couldn't answer most of them, only a few of them could be answered, but those were either overtime (the answer on the day counted) or had already been answered.
In the face of this, Lin Liu can't say that people are playing scoundrels, because Mr. Jiang didn't get Qu Yuanda's "Tianwen" out, you must know that some questions in "Tianwen" can't be answered even in the 21st century.
I finally happened to bump into it today, and Lin Liu was naturally happy to join in the fun.
"Hey, Mr. Jiang actually came out with a couplet today?" Zhen Yingjia rushed downstairs first, and saw the title hanging in the famous hall at a glance, and said in surprise.
Couplets are also treasures of traditional Chinese culture, the earliest couplets recorded in history appeared in the Three Kingdoms era, but originated from the Shang and Zhou dynasties, and couplets can be seen in many places in ancient times, especially during the Spring Festival. But even if his popularity rate is so high, almost everyone can say a few, but no matter what dynasty he is placed in, the couplet is a small way.
Moreover, Mr. Jiang had never published a couplet in eight years before, which naturally caused Zhen Yingjia to be very surprised.
This opposite side looks very simple, with only seven words: draw a lotus monk.
But will Mr. Jiang come up with such a non-level question? Naturally not, none of the talented onlookers made a move, and they were afraid of being embarrassed.
While everyone was pondering, Lin Liu showed a strange expression.
He couldn't help but be weird, although neither Mr. Jiang nor the people in Accord admitted who came up with these questions, but all the talents in Jinling City tacitly accepted that Mr. Jiang came up with the questions, and it was precisely because of this that Mr. Jiang was praised so highly.
However, if you don't have to couplet Lin Liu, you may not know, but Lin Liu remembers the origin of this couplet clearly.
Because this is a separate lesson in middle school.
If "Dream of Red Mansions" was a completely empty world, Lin Liu would only think it was a coincidence, but there was Tang Bohu at this time, and the history before the Ming Dynasty was exactly the same, that is to say, this Shanglian, Mr. Jiang copied it.
This one was copied, and the previous questions ......
Original? Or plagiarism?
Don't think that there was no plagiarism in ancient times, in fact, as early as the era of the hundred schools of thought, you copied mine and I copied yours, and everyone copied each other. Others may not have been handed down because of inheritance, but everyone will know if you go through the Confucian classics, and many of them are the essence of Huang's family.
Plagiarism can be said to be a legacy of Chinese culture since ancient times.
Sage Confucius himself said, "Tell but don't do, believe and be ancient." He was an honest scribe who declared that he could not be an "author", but only an "interpreter" and an "editor."
Sima Guang is a big copyist, he first read the history books before the Song Dynasty, and sorted out the notes related to the art of governing people, which became his "masterpiece" - "Zizhi Tongjian".
As for the modern translations of foreign languages and ancient texts, not to mention, at least a little bit better than pasting and copying.
Plagiarism is a maddening thing since ancient times, not to mention theoretical views, it is a very serious imperial examination for this era, that is all plagiarism, otherwise the examiner will not be forced to play the "combination".
Because of this question, Lin Liu is not in the mood to answer the question now, because he knows that this is an eternal absolute, and Tang Bohu's level in this regard is completely undoubted, and with the level of these people present, he will definitely not be able to do it. He knew an answer, but after analyzing that answer, he could find that he only understood a little bit of the surface, and he didn't match it at all, but he insisted that it was right because of his praise.
Let Lin Liu spend a day now, and Lin Liu thinks that he can't do it right.
In this case, he didn't want to spend time on this, but was thinking about another question, should this matter be exposed?
Everyone touted this place so much, not because there was a chance for them to become famous, now in front of Lin Liu was an alternative way to fame, as long as he exposed this matter, then he would definitely become the focus of the entire Jinling City, and the reputation may not be able to spread to other places and spread all over the country.
For the literati, fame was both a drag and a huge benefit.
Just like Tang Bohu, if his poetry, calligraphy and painting are not famous, who will stupidly chase him with real money and beg for painting and calligraphy.
But in this way, it is very likely to offend this mysterious Mr. Jiang, who does not know the origin.
It is said that knowing your mistakes can improve a lot, but the vast majority of people will still hold on to your mistakes, and still like to look at people with old eyes, especially if you are very good in other aspects, it is even more desperate to hold on to your mistakes.
