Chapter 67: The Masters of Chinese Studies (2)
"Mr. Gu, this is the prosperity of my Chinese civilization, I will ward Principal Qian to increase the publication of the works of the gentlemen of the school, we will open a printing house ourselves, carry out the printing of books, which can also increase the income of the princes.
It can also pass on your academic thoughts, although we are closed here, but we must have very advanced academic achievements, we must make it lead the trend and establish the first enlightenment, Mr. Gu, what do you say? A hundred flowers bloom and a hundred schools of thought contend, in order to refine the profound Huazhang and make a rich wine.
In this way, the Faculty of Arts led by Mr. Koo is about to make great progress, do you think Mr. Gu is carefully sorting out the works to be published in the future?
I see that Mr. Gu has a lot of talented people, and there are many academic talents in the Faculty of Letters, so he will lead them to rush and break through, and Mr. will spread the Chinese civilization "Analects" and so on to the West, and also take this opportunity to translate the famous Western novels for the Chinese people to see.
If you like Dante's "Divine Comedy", Mr. Gu should know it! I only read a little, without Mr. is accustomed to learning Chinese and Western, if Mr. comes to translate, it must be a great feat, Dante's beautiful Western poems, Mr. will be able to translate the beautiful Chinese language, this is a grand event in the writing of the "Divine Comedy" for 600 years.
We should insist on doing more practical things and less fantasizing, such a great Western masterpiece has been written for 600 years, and no one in China has translated it into their own words.
We should not only translate the books of these Western sages, but also translate the books on industrial management to Paul Mantu: "The Industrial Revolution of the Eighteenth Century" and so on, to tell the people what industrialization is, so that the people can have a deep understanding.
Another example is Charlotte BrontΓ«'s "Jane Eyre", Alexandre Dumas's "The Count of Monte Cristo", Dumas's "La Traviata", and Arthur Conan Doyle's "Detective Formamos".
And Jules. Vanna's science fiction is an example, let them see, the West is thinking about heaven and earth, while I am thinking about getting promoted, getting rich and women.
Mr. Koo, you are a master of learning from the East and the West, and there are so many books that are placed there. Shouldn't my generation introduce them to the people of China?
We say all day long that we must open our eyes to see the world, not just a few people watching, but 40,000,000 people in China to see it together.
We, the pioneers, are their eyes and ears, and it is the responsibility and obligation of our generation to introduce the excellent things of the West to the people, so that they can have a broad vision and have a good world outlook, so that they can deal with the people of the world and understand the current situation of the world.
I know that Mr. Gu who was able to hold a banquet for three days when Emperor Yuan died, had a deep vision, and he hoped that our motherland would be good, right? β
Everyone was shocked when they heard this, and they didn't think that their principal also knew a lot about Western literature, and the principal mentioned that they had only heard some books, but had not read them, and what they didn't expect was that since the principal knew every book well, he must have read them.
After listening to Xiao Yuan's words, Gu Hongming said with confidence: "Principal Xiao, look at it!" I will definitely take my people on a tour to let them know a real West. β
"Mr. Gu, I know that you respect the civilization of China, I hope to make the translation as easy to understand as possible, I remember that the poet Bai Juyi read the poems he wrote to the village women, so that they can understand it, I think our books also follow his example, to make others understand, not to make any obscure and unpopular words, this is my request.
Let Huaxia know how these foreign adults live, and they are human beings like us, since they are human beings, then everyone should be equal, establish the self-improvement of the Chinese people, and cut off the braids in the heart that Mr. Gu said. β
"I'll try! Principal Xiao, but I still think that the Book of Poetry and Chu Ci are the roots of China, and there is no poetry in the vernacular," the old man said stubbornly.
Xiao Yuan couldn't convince everyone who smelled the smell of a woman's footcloth to write, so he could only drink tea and eat.
At this time, a weak voice asked, "Principal Xiao, what do you think of women and women?"
"Mr. Bai, I have already answered this question many times, but I can answer it again when you ask.
I have a dream of equality between men and women in China, Chinese men and women can fall in love and marry freely under the sky of their own country, I am a fan of monogamy, I oppose polygamy, I also oppose polyandry, I don't want to take concubines, respect men, and respect women. And I hope that every woman will not be less than 18 years old in marriage, which is to protect women from making scientific judgments.
This is my marriage and love level, you can always monitor me, whether I do it or not. β
As soon as Xiao Yuan's words fell, Gu Hongming stood up and said to Xiao Yuan: "Lost compensation, the night is late, and the old man will go back first."
As soon as the old gentleman turned his head, he hugged away with his Western gang, Xiao Yuan really wanted to say to Gu Hongming: There are some things in Chinese civilization that are unacceptable, such as foot binding and concubines, but for this era, he can only use his own perseverance to change the world. Xiao Yuan has his own perseverance.
Seeing Gu Hongming leaving, Xiao Yuan's several tables of guests also followed seven or eight, this may be the persistence of the old-school literati, Xiao Yuan is not afraid that they will not respect his principal, as long as they run the school's Faculty of Letters well, it is already a science university, because there are too few mathematics, science, and chemistry, so they have to use these literary masters to make a strong reputation, which is also President Qian's idea.
In this way, on this occasion, Xiao Yuan told them his thoughts, and they would also have a judgment, a wake-up call, what is really for the country and the people, not for their own selfish desires, Xiao Yuan firmly believes that these masters will make a decision that is beneficial to the people of the country.
Jiang Yueqi, the female boss, finally came to the stall with Jingjing carrying a pot of pig's head meat, and saw Xiao Yuan and a group of gentlemen sitting in their stalls, and suddenly had a whim, and asked the gentlemen sitting to leave a comment, today's barbecue is free.
gave each table a plate of pig's head meat and a pot of warm wine, which really made Xiao Yuan's mouth short, Xiao Yuan said to Jingjing: "Tomorrow you bring the paper, let your little aunt write a signboard for you, you have to collect the money today, your work-study is really not easy, today is my treat."
Jingjing nodded, whispered a few words to Jiang Yueqi in the past, Jiang Yueqi nodded happily, and came over to talk to Zi Yan again, before he went to do things with confidence.
"Sir, you said it so well, maybe Mr. doesn't know me yet, I'm a FN person, my name is Bai Wei, and I'm a student studying at Changsha No. 1 Women's Normal School. I am now teaching liberal arts in the preparatory department and preparing for the medical administration major of the University of Medicine."
I ran away from marriage and fled here, I wanted to escape to the East, but I saw in the newspaper that my husband had set up a university for women here in China, and I came here, and my science couldn't keep up, and it would take another year for the preparatory department.
Sir, I just think that women in China are too humble, is there any way to change quickly? β
"Revolution, social revolution, this is the fastest, but I don't advocate it, I advocate gradual progress, first personality independence, then economic independence, this is the main thing, not the appearance of legal independence, but a real free personality. Can you understand? β
"I can probably understand and realize that now I can support myself with my hands, and when I ran away, the illness I fell from was almost cured in the attached hospital, and my whole body became fat, and I read a lot of books in the library of the medical university, and I thought that they wrote really well, and I wrote books like them.
Record all this, do you say that Sir can do that? "
"That's a good thing! I support you to write, write down your feelings, and when your book is completed, your husband will write a preface to you, and you can criticize the unfairness of this society in your novels, and criticize all these phenomena that you think are unequal to women. Sir I am looking forward to your work being written as soon as possible."
Most of the people who stayed on the table to chat with Xiao Yuan were middle-aged and young people, and everyone saw that Xiao Yuan answered very kindly and approachable. Everyone raised some questions, and Xiao Yuan answered them attentively.
Everyone was amazed by Xiao Yuan's erudition, especially Xiao Yuan's proposal: "Young people don't always complain about the country, this is your homeland, think about what you should do for the country, because this is your own country."
If you don't build him, how can he be good? You must not pin your hopes on others, if you want your country to be strong, it depends on you to build it yourself, everyone is complaining, so who will build him, Xiao Yuan put forward to their young people the idea of doing more and repaying less grievances.
Xiao Yuan didn't know how many people could listen to this, but he had already said it, and when he saw that the time was almost up, he settled the account with the boss and drove a group of young teachers back to sleep.
After Zi Yan and Wutong fell asleep, Xiao Yuan lay on the bed by himself, and a soul went out of his body to the netherworld and began to study with Zhao Guan's family.
When he asked Zhao Guanjia if there was any way to bring things into the soul space, Zhao Guanjia also told him the unspeakable Zen opportunity.
Xiao Yuan was helpless for a while, only to start training from the basic step by step, Zhao Guanjia saw that Xiao Yuan was training hard, so he found a place to sit down and make tea and drink, and he still had time to play tea art.
But Xiao Yuan always felt that Zhao Guan's home tea was hinting at something, but Xiao Yuan's basic training made him unable to think too much, so he couldn't see anything.
Xiao Yuan was training his stick method over and over again, the stick method was getting more and more familiar, but the spiritual power was not used at all, Xiao Yuan went to ask Zhao Guan's family what to do, but he still couldn't say.
But the technique of tea art is more slippery, Xiao Yuan came back again and danced his stick again and again, he danced faster and faster, as if he had touched something, as if there was a layer of film hindering him, the more anxious he was, the darker that layer of spiritual light became.
Zhao Guanjia brought a cup of tea and handed it to him, Xiao Yuan drank the tea, and continued to train, the stick method is very familiar, but it is difficult to break through.
After the cultivation time was almost over, Zhao Guanjia stopped Xiao Yuan in training, and said to him: "I don't know when Master Xiao will be able to understand", so he sent him back.
