"Mr. Zhou, Mr. Zhou!"

Before Zhou Hexuan stepped out of the school gate, he heard someone calling him from behind. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 Info turned his head to see that it was a young man with glasses, and he smiled and asked, "Hello, is there something wrong?" ”

"My name is Shen Congwen, and I especially like Mr. Zhou's works." Shen Congwen said.

Zhou Hexuan smiled: "It turned out to be Mr. Shen, I read the article you wrote." ”

Shen Congwen couldn't help but be happy: "Mr. also knows me?" ”

"Of course, Shima, they all have a good opinion of you." Zhou Hexuan said.

Shen Congwen likes to chase stars and chase superstars in the literary world. He has been poor since he was a child, and he has been independent since he was 13 years old, serving as a soldier, a clerk, and even a gangster for a time, and has nothing to do with progressive youth.

It wasn't until he came into contact with new ideas at Peking University that Shen Congwen really woke up. He admired those talented masters, tried to write letters to Lu Xun, Yu Dafu, Xu Zhimo and others for advice, learned to write step by step, and finally formed his own unique style.

Today's Shen Congwen is just a small character who has just emerged, and it is even difficult to support himself, and he lived in a dormitory rebuilt from a broken temple two months ago.

Hu Yepin and Ding Ling also caught up and enthusiastically introduced themselves, and everyone knew each other.

"What Mr. Zhou said just now, is it serious?" Hu also asked frequently.

"What words?" Zhou Hexuan said.

Hu Yepin said: "Students are forbidden to propagate progressive ideas on the campus of Peking University. ”

Zhou Hexuan said with a smile: "Please add the word 'public', if they discuss it privately, I can't care about it." ”

As soon as these words came out, Hu Yepin, Ding Ling and Shen Congwen all laughed, and the little dissatisfaction in their hearts was completely put down.

When writers meet, they naturally want to talk about literature, and Hu Yepin asked: "Mr. Zhou's "The Goddess" has a strange style, which is very different from the current novels, can you talk about this creative method?" ”

Zhou Hexuan did not answer directly, but asked rhetorically: "Where is the foundation of Chinese literature?" ”

The three were asked, they had never thought about it.

Zhou Hexuan asked again: "What are you based on to create novels?" ”

Shen Congwen thought for a while and said: "What I see, hear, and feel, and then use my imagination, and learn from other people's writing methods, and integrate my own characteristics to create." ”

Ding Ling said: "I am similar to following the text, that is, I create according to reality and express my thoughts. Mr. Lu Xun had a great influence on me, and I listened to his "History of Chinese Novels" at Peking University. ”

Hu Ye Channel: "I am influenced by foreign works, such as Ibsen, Tolstoy and other famous artists. ”

After the three of them finished speaking, Zhou Hexuan smiled and said: "What you are talking about is only the literary form, and the foundation of my question is the cultural core, which comes from the education we have each received." What is Education? Education is about forgetting what is left after you have learned. It's ingrained into your soul and comes naturally, flowing between the lines of your writing, and you may not even be aware of it. ”

This passage was too mysterious, and Shen Congwen and the others couldn't help but start thinking about it.

The Sun brothers had already followed, and they were standing next to them at this moment.

Sun Yonghao asked in a low voice, "Brother, what is Mr. talking about?" I don't understand a word. ”

"If you don't understand, don't think about it." Sun Yongzhen rolled his eyes and said that his injuries had fully recovered, and he was a lively man again.

"Education is to forget what is left after learning......" Ding Ling pondered this sentence repeatedly, she felt very reasonable, it seemed to grasp the essence of something, but it was difficult to say it in words.

Hu Yepin suddenly spoke: "Mr. Zhou's 'remaining things' should refer to a person's spirit, including conduct, beliefs, thoughts, attitudes, style, and so on. ”

"It can also be understood in this way," Zhou Hexuan said with a smile, "Education is not just about imparting ideas and knowledge, its essence is actually to shape people." Different education will shape people's spiritual outlook. This education does not only refer to schools and books, but also includes family education from an early age, as well as the influence of society as a whole on people. ”

Ding Ling suddenly praised and said: "Mr. Zhou is the real educator, and he explains the essence of education in one sentence. As Mr. said, the old-school literati who were influenced by traditional feudal education were often old-fashioned and conservative in their thinking. However, students who have received a new education have a broad vision and are easily receptive to new things and ideas. But what does this have to do with literary creation? ”

Zhou Hexuan explained: "What is literature? Literature is the art of using language as a tool to visually reflect reality and express the writer's spiritual world. A writer's spiritual world must be cultivated through education. Our generation, whether you admit it or not, has been influenced by a lot of traditional Chinese feudal culture, which you can't throw away, and it will inevitably be revealed in your works. ”

Hu Yepin said: "We can work hard to get rid of it, abandon the old and promote the new!" ”

"Why get rid of it?" Zhou Hexuan said with a smile, "The old culture is not necessarily all dross, and "Novel Monthly" is still sorting out the national history." Benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and faith, do you need to throw these away? The heavens, earth, people and ideas in "Zhou Yi" have even been integrated into pai gow and mahjong. The chopsticks we usually use also pay attention to the unity of nature and man, do we all give up using Western knives and forks? ”

Ding Ling hurriedly said, "Mr. Zhou, what do you want to say?" ”

Zhou Hexuan said: "What I want to say is that the foundation of Chinese writers writing novels lies in Chinese characters, and each Chinese character brings together the ideological wisdom of the Chinese nation. In terms of literary form, we can learn from the West, but why can't the cultural core maintain its national character? There are too many creative themes in China, and it is a big treasure trove, which can be brought out by the old and the new at will. ”

Ding Ling and Hu Yepin were still thinking about it, but Shen Congwen suddenly shouted happily: "I understand, I understand!" ”

"What do you understand?" Hu also asked frequently.

Shen Congwen drew inferences from one another: "What Mr. Zhou means is that literature has a national character and should be progressive ideologically, but the form of expression can be the same. The traditional culture we have been exposed to since childhood can be used, including folklore and myths. This is both good for expression and easy for readers to accept. I know which way to go, I grew up in Xiangxi, which is my spiritual home. Why should I imitate someone else? I can write my own familiar stories! ”

Okay, this understanding, Zhou Hexuan was completely convinced.

It is no wonder that Shen Congwen, a ruffian, can grow into a generation of literary giants after only a few days of auditing classes at Peking University.

Hu Yepin and Ding Ling, although they were not persuaded by Zhou Hexuan's theory, they also felt that it made sense, and the popular "local literature" was rooted in the soil of traditional culture.

"My book "The Goddess" is actually using the traditional Chinese theory of ghosts and gods to construct an illusory and real world. It's magical and realistic, I call it magical realism," Zhou Hexuan laughed self-deprecatingly, "This can be regarded as the founding of the sect." ”

"Magical realism, that's an interesting name." Ding Ling couldn't help but wonder.

Zhou Hexuan asked about the recent situation of the three of them, and after learning that they were full-time creators, he immediately sent out an invitation, hoping that they could go to Tianjin to help run the newspaper.

Ding Ling and Hu also frequently refused, and they had many friends in Beiping, and they had no plans to go to Tianjin for the time being. Shen Congwen said that he had to think about it, he wanted to learn more things from Zhou Hexuan, and at the same time wanted to find a serious and stable job.

……

PS: It seems that Lou Zi was stabbed in the last chapter, Lao Wang shouldn't spoil it, and many classmates are clamoring to abandon the book.

In fact, there are no spoilers, the ending of the protagonist is predestined. He is just a passerby, and it is rare to be able to splash a small splash in the river of history.

Writing the Republic of China at the starting point, the book is to review the outline, and those who try to change the course of history will not be reviewed, and you will not even have the opportunity to upload it. As for Lin Huiyin, she has a lot of appearances later, but she really doesn't dare to write as the heroine, the reason everyone understands, I don't even dare to mention her in the introduction.
