Chapter 48: Why Hermione Can't Marry Harry
"The story of Harry Potter takes place in England, which is one of the most ethnically and hierarchically important countries in developed countries. So far, there is a difference between the royal family and the commoners, which has laid the groundwork for the marriage problems of the protagonists. ”
Feng Zhou talked eloquently.
"The description of the appearance of the characters in the Harry Potter novels is actually very limited, but one thing that must be mentioned is the hair color. The Bots are black, the Weasleys are red, the Malfoys are light blonde, and Hermione has long brown hair. This also implies that they come from different ethnic groups. ”
In 54 B.C., Julius Caesar made the island of Britain part of the Roman Empire and named the indigenous people of the time after the Latin, the Celts. Thus began the history of British civilization. Later, when the multi-ethnic Germanic peoples broke up the Roman Empire and divided the lands that Caesar once controlled, the Anglos and Saxons came to settle in Britain and began the conquest of the indigenous Celts. The Romans, Germans, and Celts had black, light blonde, and red hair colors, respectively. ”
Malfoy began to sneer when he first saw Ron, but he didn't dare to talk much about Harry, this is not some protagonist aura, but as a descendant of the conqueror Germanic people, Malfoy naturally looks down on Ron, the descendant of the conquered Celts. Harry, on the other hand, has the same hair color as Julius Caesar, and as the noblest Roman blood in the history of European civilization, Malfoy certainly did not dare to say much. Hermione, who has brown hair, is the most common civilian hair color in the UK. ”
"Harry is a noble Roman royalty, Malfoy and Ron are equal aristocrats, and Hermione is the most inconspicuous commoner. Marriages in British high society never transcended a class. So Harry, who is of royal blood, can marry Ginny of the noble Weasley, and Ron can marry Hermione of the commoners. But Harry and Hermione were not destined to be together because they were too big. Of course, the above is just an analysis of Harry Potter's view of marriage based on the concept of blood. ”
Feng Zhou was talking eloquently on the podium, and the classroom gradually quieted down, and Teacher Zhang's face gradually turned white.
He is a young man who has studied in the UK for two years and can work as a teacher at Nankai University, how can he not understand the British environment?
As long as you listen to this, you will know that what Professor Feng is talking about is the Tao.
Naturally, then, his own doubts are vexatious!
"Let's go back and talk about what Harry studied. We know that Hogwarts is a school of witchcraft and wizardry, and of course it is about "magic". The question is, what exactly is "magic" in real life?
As we all know, Hogwarts includes four houses, and the house where Harry's trio is located is called "Gryffindor", so what is Gryffindor?
At this point, he paused.
Everyone looked at each other, not knowing why.
But some people also saw that several big-nosed foreigners present had a sudden look in their eyes.
Feng Zhou glanced at it, took in the scenes of all living beings, and continued:
Anyone who pays attention to politics should know that the four "houses" of Hogwarts are based on the famous "four major law schools" in British law: Lincoln, Gray, the Inner Temple, and the Middle Temple.
That's right, Harry Potter studied jurisprudence.
The word "college" here, or inn in English, is more accurately translated as "guild", and all four colleges were founded very early, the latest, Gray's Lawyer's College, in 1569 AD. Therefore, traditionally, these four academies are all master-apprentice systems, just like our Peking Opera "science class", where teachers and students eat and live together, learn and live together, and each student must go through several "dinners" before graduating. ”
In fact, the student dinner of the law school is a part of the teaching of the law school, and law is not a simple legal text, but more importantly, the exchange of people, that is, Holmes's so-called "the life of law is not logic, but experience", and this kind of dinner is an important way of internal communication in the law school. The party was so famous that it became a part of British popular culture, and when an Englishman read about it, he could guess Harry's profession.
"Harry took a lot of classes, and many of them were prototypes, such as the "Defense Against the Dark Arts" class, which is said to have suffered a curse and the teacher has to have some accidents, what kind of law class does it correspond to?"
As long as we combine the context and then connect it with the actual situation in Britain, we will know that this "Defense Against the Dark Arts" course is the Criminal Procedure Law, and the so-called magic is "crime"! That is to say, Harry's major, which corresponds to reality, is law. ”
"Harry studied law, so what does it have to do with his marital status? Because law is not a "major" in the general sense, but a very special one. ”
"I'll mention a few names, and you'll probably hear of them. ”
"Karl, the theoretical mentor of the Red Party, Ulyanov, the first state leader of the Northern Empire, and Karl's alumnus, the current British Prime Minister MacDonald, and the current Japanese Prime Minister Wakatsuki Reijiro. ”
"They all studied law, and Harry studied that, so he's not an ordinary person, he's a member of the ruling class, and his marriage has to be chosen. The ruling class has the ruling class's standards for marriage, because this determines the direction of the next generation of Harry Jr. ”
"I went on so much before, but I didn't say why Hermione couldn't marry Harry, in fact, it was just foreshadowing, and the text starts now. These words can be summed up in two sentences: Anglo-Saxon England is a group of conquerors, and Hogwarts is where their heirs learn the art of domination.
For the above reasons, the value orientation of the whole Hogwarts is completely from the perspective of conquerors and rulers. In other words, Hogwarts evaluates students by whether you are a good conqueror or ruler. It is often said that values function like a ruler (value scale), and when measured with such a ruler, Hermione has a lot of problems. ”
"In England, to be a conqueror, the most basic question is what is needed in the first place? I am afraid that only scholars who have studied in England or who have studied in England in depth will surely give an answer, that is, we need to have strength and a strong physique! Therefore, attaching importance to physical education is Western education, and of course it is also an important tradition of British education
Universities in the United Kingdom and the United States hold countless sports competitions of various types every year, such as the famous Cambridge Oxford rowing competition, and the American college baseball, basketball, and football leagues. The cost of such competitions is quite staggering, far more expensive than in the classroom, but the school has always spared no expense, because whether or not there is a well-developed physical education, is one of the signs of whether a university is a first-class university and whether it belongs to the cradle of training rulers.
And Hermione, who answered questions correctly every time she was in class, was she the best student in every exam? No, according to the British, it was just a sign that she was a second best student. When English readers see every Quidditch match, Harry fighting the field, and Hermione just sitting in the audience shouting cheers, they know in their hearts that Hermione is not worthy of Harry, because she does not have the physical qualities to be a good ruling class. ”
Feng Zhou said calmly on the podium, and Teacher Zhang was completely speechless.
"He was concise and clear!"
Mr. Zhang's heart was shocked, and his eyes were full of incredulity.
He had been to the UK to study, and he also had in-depth research and study of British culture, so he clearly understood in his heart that Feng Zhou's words were very correct.
"The novels of any country are actually rooted in the local culture and influenced by all aspects of the country's politics and economy. Mr. Zhang, you said that you studied in the UK and studied British culture, but you don't know anything about China or British culture. ”
After Feng Zhou finished speaking, regardless of the depressed Teacher Zhang, he looked around the classroom and said, "Who else, do you have any questions?"
No one answered, and everyone was shocked by the scene.
Being able to break apart a detail of a book and explain it is enough to show that Professor Feng has a deep understanding of this book and the United Kingdom.
"Since there is no doubt, then I will announce the title of the next lesson, which is also derived from today's class situation, I will name the next lesson 'The Rise of Great Powers - Britain Chapter', in the next lesson, I will give you a detailed analysis of how Britain has risen in the past few hundred years to become an 'empire on which the sun never sets', and you are welcome to listen to the lecture when the time comes. ”
The professors and lecturers who were originally about to leave sat back in their seats at this time, took out their pens one after another, and recorded what Feng Zhou said one by one, for fear of missing something.
The rest of the students were completely calm.
But Feng Zhou is not finished, he continued: "I have sent an application to President Zhang, in order to emulate the advanced experience of top foreign universities, I will open a martial arts club, specializing in teaching Xingyi Quan and Baguazhang in Neijiaquan, the purpose of this club is to 'civilize its spirit, barbarize its body'!"
