Chapter 102: Tocharian Gets a Division
When it was almost noon, Xu Le took a notebook and a pen, and took Mr. Su's three books directly to the campus of Beijing University.
After eating two large bowls of noodles opposite Kyoto University, he entered the campus of Beijing University, and in less than an hour to half past one, he walked around the campus. Jingda, also known as Yanda, claims to have three major attractions worth watching, a tower lake map, which represents the ecstasy tower, gloomy lake and library.
The Ecstasy Tower is located in the central and eastern part of Beijing University, on the southeast side of the Gloomy Lake, and the "Lake Light Tower Shadow" is one of the famous landscapes of the campus. The Ecstasy Tower was originally a water tower and was built in 1924. The shape of the water tower is made of octagonal dense eaves type, and the base of the tower is the seat of Sumeru, and the tower level is thirteen floors, and the height is 37 meters. The tower is hollow, there is a spiral ladder straight to the top of the tower, except for the base, the tower body is a reinforced concrete building, and the design is excellent. Nowadays, the Ecstasy Tower is no longer used as a water tower and has become one of the symbols of Kyoto University.
Xu Le looked at the introduction on the side, a water tower is so beautiful, the workmanship is so fine, it is really moving, and it looks very spectacular when there is no high-rise building next to it!
Lake Anonymous is the largest man-made lake on the campus of Kyoto University, and it is U-shaped in shape. In the center there is an island in the middle of the lake, which is the same as the north shore by a bridge. There is a stone boat at the eastern end of the island in the middle of the lake. On the south shore of the lake, there are bell pavilions, Linhu Xuan, and flower temples, and there are ecstasy towers on the east bank. In the southwest of the lake, there is a lifelike turn-tailed stone fish, which was originally a relic in front of the Western building of the Old Summer Palace. On the shore of the anonymous lake, you can see the shadow of the lake tower in the east, you can see the setting sun of the bell pavilion in the west, you can see the lake and mountains and trees in the south, and you can see the shadow of the buildings in the north, which is full of poetry and painting everywhere. Now there are a lot of ornamental fish in the lake, all of them are big and colorful, and many people come to the lake to feed the fish with food. During the period, there are mandarin ducks frolicking in it, showing vitality, and the scenery is very pleasant.
The library is located at the end of the East Gate axis, at the hub of the campus's teaching district. The library is now composed of two parts, the new library and the old library, with a total area of nearly 53,000 square meters, making it the largest library in Asia.
Standing in front of the library, looking at this spectacular building, he couldn't help but think of how the librarian at Kyoto Normal University disappeared later, and everyone was not surprised, I don't know where it is now, Xu Le's martial arts enlightenment, in fact, there is not much communication between the two, plus bar plus bar can have dozens of words, that is, and then they will not see each other again!
He looked at Lao Guan and thought of the leader who established New China had also worked as a librarian here, who could have thought of the opportunity for this person in the future at that time? Even if you can think of it, may the style of Jingda at that time still be like this? Li Daochang, the librarian at the end of the Warring States Period of the Great Zhou Dynasty, wrote a book and didn't even figure out what the name was for later generations, where did he go?
This is one of the best schools in Asia, the students by the lake are also discussing with each other, and the people walking on the road will be in a hurry with books in their arms, which is the atmosphere of Kyoto Normal University is still worse, it must be admitted, especially the newly built campus does not have that sense of history, here casually you meet an old man and old lady riding a bicycle may be an authority in some way, it may be a master, an academician, any small house is the place where the master stayed in the late Qing Dynasty, There is a taste of history everywhere, Xu Le likes it very much, his original score is enough for Beijing University, but considering the actual situation at home, he still resolutely chose the normal school, especially because he likes history and chose the best history and geography normal school, he has no regrets, and he will never regret it, but this does not affect the atmosphere that he really likes Beijing University and Qing University.
It's a place where you can learn things, and it's really a place where there's an atmosphere of academic research.
Walking around the school for half an hour, Xu Le felt that his heart was very calm, and that kind of breath made him constantly become solemn, especially the occasional mixed blood conflict with a feeling of palpitations became cautious, he felt that his blood and the spirit of his whole body were absorbing the rich literary atmosphere here, and he became a little like an old pedant.
He found Mr. Su's small courtyard, a very quaint small courtyard, which is an independent courtyard and a two-story building, surrounded by big trees, very quiet, Xu Le liked it very much at a glance, unlike the Kyoto Normal University that has to take care of the surrounding neighbors, which may be one of the reasons why Mr. prefers here, right?
He stood at the gate of the courtyard, tightened his clothes, knocked lightly on the door, and from inside came a voice, "Coming"!
A woman in her fifties came out, dressed in plain clothes, and said, "You are Xu Le, right"? said with a smile.
"I am, you are"? Xu Le was very respectful.
opened the door and invited Xu Le to come in, "I'm the fourth, your senior sister."
"Hello senior sister", Xu Le then shouted, this is Mr.'s fourth daughter, Mr. has a total of four children, two eldest are sons, and below are two daughters, all of whom are very responsible and have made some achievements in their respective fields.
When I walked in the door, I saw the gray-haired old man sitting on the wooden sofa!
Mr. Su was born in 1909, and now he is eighty-six years old, and he has long stopped taking graduate students, that is, Mr. Qi was specially invited to give you a big lecture, and it was over after the lecture. In fact, there are different views in China, and there is still a lot of controversy, but Xu Le has no scruples.
"Hello sir"!
Xu Le walked a few steps, stepped forward, bowed to Mr. Su, and then stood respectfully opposite Mr.
As soon as Mr. was about to speak, he heard a voice from upstairs: "It's Xu Le, right?" Very happy old woman's voice.
From the walk down a seventy or eighty-year-old lady, this is the lover of the gentleman.
"I went to answer your teacher Lu's call just now, Xu Le, you can't favor one over the other!"
Granny, he's joking! Xu Le didn't understand, how could I be favoritous, it's not good to be charged with a crime just after I came to the door!
The fourth senior sister poured Xu Le a cup of tea, put it on the table and stood up!
"Good teacher"!
"Sit, sit, sit, there are no such rules at home"! The old lady said.
"Just now, your Mr. Qi called your Mr. Su and told him what you thought, and he agreed, so I chatted with Shirong for a few days, and I heard that you are still studying in her graduate school?" The old lady squinted at Xu Le.
"That's right, Master, Mr. Lu, I think that there is no problem with my academic guidance from two gentlemen, but I still need to improve in logic and writing, so I am required to strengthen the research in this area, so I applied for Mr. Lu's graduate school of comparative philosophy"! Xu Le explained the general situation, but he didn't dare to say that it was Mr. Lu who forced him, but that his shortcomings in some aspects were corrected by the teacher, so that he intended to strengthen his research in this area.
"Well, yes, Xu Le, your attitude towards learning and tireless spirit of research are really good, I listened to your Mr. Qi's call to Mr. Su and knew your choice, and then looked at it from your perspective of Mr. Lu, I found that you are still lacking"! The old lady nodded and said to Xu Le.
Mr. Su's face is fine, don't look at the perennial field archaeology, when he gets old, it is still a little white, and basically his old man will no longer go out in the later period, at most it is to hold a seminar or something.
Seeing that Mr. Su smiled slightly, he waited for the old lady's words, "Master, what do you think I should strengthen"!
"Well, in this case, let me introduce myself first", the old lady cleared her throat and looked a little happy, "I heard that you know many foreign languages, right?" Xu Le nodded!
"That means that your language talent should be very good, my name is Fu Bingqi, and my major happens to be the study of Central Asian languages, mainly based on the study of the Tocharian language, with the study of the Tocharian language to the study of Sanskrit and Pali, I think you should strengthen in this regard. If you are just engaged in domestic archaeology with Mr. Su, then I won't say anything, but you are also engaged in the study of world history, then it is guaranteed to be related to these foreign regions, the Tocharian language mainly includes from West Asia to the east to the western part of China, north to the Russian bear country, is it the current India Three Kingdoms, so it is the ancestral language of the entire Indo-European language family; And as one of the four ancient civilizations, the country of India is also a brilliant civilization, although it is not now, but a lot of the previous content is still necessary to study, especially if you don't choose the subdivision of civilization and religion, it must be impossible to bypass Pali, Sanskrit and Tocharian language, so I suggest you read this major, and I am an expert in this area, how about it, should you call me Teacher Fu now"?
Xu Le's mind rotated at high speed, in fact, he was more interested in Mr. Fu's profession, he has been subconsciously pressing in the bottom of his heart to drink the light, until now I don't know which god this drink light is, dare to call grandma, whether there is someone behind or not, but his own level is not far behind, he has always been in line with the attitude of being kind to others, but who knows when to turn his face, it is better to know more, and according to the content of the current Chinese, I basically can't find any meaningful information about the drinking light department, They were all ancient languages at that time, which should be helpful, his eyes were a little lively, but he still had to look at what Mr. Su meant, he turned his head and looked at Mr. Su!
"Xu Le, you, it's not bad for this one!" The gentleman said with a smile.
"What do you mean by this, as if Xu Le was forced", Teacher Fu said unfriendly.
Xu Le didn't feel like being forced to stand up like Teacher Lu, because he really needed to learn the ancient Hindi language, so he stood up very happily and bowed to Mrs. Fu Bingqi happily!
"Teacher Fu, hello, student Xu Le has saluted you"!
