Half an hour later, the post office.

Looking at the passbook in his hand, He Yun couldn't help but smack his tongue.

"Tsk..... It's 67,000 yuan, and it's not much closer to the goal of 100,000. ”

He Yun whispered, then stuffed the passbook in his hand into his pocket, and then went straight back to Xiangshi University.

As a "special enrollment", He Yun naturally has a lot of special treatment, such as exams, he doesn't have to participate, and there is a professional direction, which can also be chosen by him.

Of course, in fact, there are only a few graduate students now, because since the national degree system was restored in 1981, the number of master's students admitted to the country together is only tens of thousands.

The reason for this phenomenon is that in the present, people's values are different from those of the next.

For today's college students, the postgraduate entrance examination is not a very popular choice, and a good job and treatment are the most anticipated directions for everyone.

After all, college students nowadays are assigned jobs as soon as they graduate.

Moreover, most people also feel that the postgraduate entrance examination is not of much use to them at all, and in their eyes, it is just the choice of some people who pursue academic breakthroughs.

However, He Yun didn't think so.

In his opinion, three years of postgraduate study can enable a person to change himself, improve himself, and enrich himself.

Just like the major direction He Yun chose - ancient Chinese literature.

As one of the first majors in Hunan Normal University to restore the degree system, the major of ancient Chinese literature has many famous tutors, such as Professor Liu, of which he is one.

In addition to this, there is also a professor surnamed Ma.

This Professor Ma, according to Gao Lao, is a professor with a deep study of ancient Chinese literature, and is one of the most authoritative professors in this major.

He Yun had the privilege of meeting him once.

Moreover, in the process of talking with him, He Yun could feel his unique insights into ancient Chinese literature.

Especially in the literature of the Ming and Qing dynasties, He Yun was most impressed by his views.

…………

In September, He Yun began his graduate career.

Although there are only a few students in his major, there are many teachers who can teach for him.

On this day, as soon as He Yun came out of the classroom, he was called over by Professor Liu.

In the office, Professor Liu smiled and beckoned He Yun to sit down, and immediately said, "Xiao He, I came to you today, mainly to ask you, do you have any thoughts on your academic research direction?" ”

"Uh...... This, Professor Liu, isn't this something that should be considered in the second year of graduate school? Thinking about this now, will it ...... Too early? He Yun was stunned for a moment, and looked at Professor Liu with a puzzled face.

"This is indeed a question that should be considered in the second year of graduate school, but you are different, the teacher believes in your strength, although the first year of graduate school is mainly based on learning courses, but you can also try to consider academic research?"

"Like a paper publication? You can give it a try. ”

Hearing Professor Liu's words, He Yun couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart.

Believe in my strength?

But until now, I only have a cursory understanding of the major of "Ancient Chinese Literature", where can I be qualified to do any academic research?

"Professor Liu, in fact, I ...... I ......, can you please let me think about it? ”

At this moment, He Yun's mind was full of "paste", and he didn't know where to start.

You know, before that, he didn't think about this at all, and at this moment, how do you ask him to answer.

"Okay, then think about it when you go back, I'll wait for your news."

Seeing that He Yun really didn't think about it, Professor Liu didn't force He Yun anymore, he nodded and responded.

…………

Three days passed.

In the rental room, at the table, He Yun sat there, silently contemplating.

In the past few days, he has gone through all the books related to the major of "Ancient Chinese Literature" in the library, and even consulted Gao Lao for a time, so that he has a general academic research direction.

In fact, the so-called "Ancient Chinese Literature" major, to put it simply, is a major that studies the literary characteristics of the Chinese dynasties.

It can be broadly divided into four academic research directions, namely the relationship between ancient Chinese literature and religion, various genres of ancient Chinese literature, the history of ancient Chinese literary criticism, and literary literature.

And these four directions cover almost all aspects of ancient Chinese literature.

For example, the first research direction, the relationship between ancient Chinese literature and religion, is, to put it bluntly, to study the interaction between Taoism, Confucianism, Buddhism, and ancient Chinese literature.

The second and third research directions can be summarized as one, which is simply to study the promotion and development of ancient Chinese literature and various literary styles and characters.

The last research direction, literature and literature, is a research direction that He Yun first ruled out.

As for the reason, it is also very simple, it is too boring.

To know what the literature is? In fact, it is a variety of ancient literary classics.

It's not like you can read it all in a year or two.

What's more, what this academic direction studies is a "source stream", which requires you to collect all this kind of literature, and then read and understand it thoroughly, and finally trace back to the source, summarize and draw conclusions.

Not to mention that it took too long, and most importantly, he felt that this academic direction was not suitable for him.

As for the academic direction that suits him, he thinks it is the third, that is, the various genres of ancient Chinese literature.

More precisely, it is the literature of the Ming and Qing dynasties among various literary genres.

Speaking of literature in the Ming and Qing dynasties, we have to mention the Ming and Qing dynasties.

The development of this period can be described as unique compared to the pre-Qin mythology, the two Han Fu, Tang poetry and Song poetry, and Yuan song.

Because during this period, there was unprecedented prosperity, especially in the Ming Dynasty, and three of the works known as the "Four Great Masterpieces" after the founding of the People's Republic of China were all works of this period.

In addition, "Golden Vase Plum" is also.

That's right, it's the so-called "forbidden book".

In the middle and late Qing Dynasty, there were also many classics, such as the most famous "Dream of Red Mansions", "Strange Tales from Liao Zhai", and "The History of Confucianism".

In terms of "storytelling", "Romance of the Sui and Tang Dynasties" and "The Complete Biography of Yue Yue" have become popular and have become hot conversations among the general public after dinner.

It can be seen that compared with the previous various literary styles, such as poems, lyrics, fu, and songs, the Ming and Qing dynasties were truly integrated into people's lives.

Therefore, to sum up, in the direction of academic research, firstly, the data is easier to collect, and secondly, it is more interesting, so as not to be too boring in research.

What's more, He Yun was originally a writer, and he already had a lot of experience in the right creation.

In the Ming and Qing dynasties, he also had a deeper understanding.

Therefore, it will be easier for him to get started with such an academic research topic.

…………

After establishing his research direction, He Yun did not immediately go to Professor Liu, but spent a few days writing an article called "On the Development of the Ming and Qing Dynasties", and then went to him.

When Professor Liu learned of He Yun's intention and carefully studied He Yun's article, he suddenly smiled.

And it's laughing.

He couldn't help but stand up, gently patted He Yun's shoulder, and exclaimed loudly: "Okay! Good! Good! Xiaohe, your choice of academic topic is really good, I completely agree with your research direction, in this way, I will be your instructor, if there is any difficulty, you can mention it to me now, I can help you solve it, I will do my best to help you solve it. ”

"Professor Liu, my only difficulty now is that there are too many materials, and I can't read the materials in the library alone, so I wonder if I can form a team?"

"The team? This one...... I think about it. However, what you said is not unreasonable, there are indeed many in the Ming and Qing dynasties, in addition to those more famous works, there are also many unpopular ones, which seem unimportant, but they are actually equally important. ”

Since the study of the Ming and Qing dynasties is the study of a topic, it is naturally necessary to analyze it in an all-round way.

But in this way, the amount of work is large, and He Yun alone will definitely not be able to complete it in a short period of time.

"That's right, Xiaohe, I'll help you ask the other students first, see if they have any intentions in this regard, what do you think?" At this time, Professor Liu thought about it and said to He Yun again.

Hearing this, He Yun immediately nodded and responded, "Okay, then I'll leave everything to Professor Liu." ”

…………

And while Professor Liu was asking for He Yun, He Yun himself was not idle.

He spends most of his time in the library except for classes, and every day he doesn't come out if the library is not closed.

No, after a few days, his notebook was full of memorization.

However, to He Yun's disappointment, Professor Liu has not been able to find a suitable candidate for the team.

Until this day, as soon as He Yun came out of the classroom, he heard Professor Liu's voice behind him.

"Xiaohe, wait a minute."

"Professor Liu!"

He Yun turned around and shouted.

Then, when he saw Professor Liu's happy face, he hurriedly asked, "Professor Liu, is there a team candidate?" ”

"Hmm...... Come with me, and I'll take you to meet them. ”

After a while, Professor Liu led He Yun to the door of a classroom.

Soon, two people approached.

One man and one woman.

They all seemed to be older than He Yun, and they should be twenty-five or sixteen years old.

"Come on! Xiaohe, let me introduce to you, this is Li Ruihua, this is Yao Shulan, they are both from the Chinese Department, they are your juniors, just in their third year this year. ”

After introducing He Yun to the two, Professor Liu began to introduce He Yun to Li Ruihua and Yao Shulan.

"This is He Yun, your senior, who just entered his first year of graduate school this year."

After Professor Liu introduced a sentence, he deliberately paused, then smiled, and continued: "You two don't underestimate He Yun, although he is your senior, he is younger than you, and he also has a pen name, I believe you have all heard of it, he is our famous young writer Man Jianghong in Hunan Province." ”

"Man Jianghong? is that Man Jianghong who wrote "Fanghua" and "Lonely Island Spy"? ”

Li Ruihua and Yao Shulan are both from the Chinese department, and they have naturally heard of the name "Manjianghong".

In fact, both of them have read all of He Yun's works.

Even, for He Yun himself, they have admired him for a long time.

But they didn't expect to see "alive" today.

"Hello! My name is He Yun! Nice to meet you guys! He Yun looked very indifferent to the surprise of the two, he smiled, and then stretched out his right hand.

Li Ruihua and Yao Shulan were both very excited at the moment, and when He Yun said his name and stretched out his right hand, the two were stunned for a while before they came back to their senses.

After they shook hands with He Yun excitedly, Li Ruihua said even more excitedly: "Hello, senior, I have read all the works you wrote, and the writing is really amazing!" ”

"I've won the prize, I've won the prize, compared to my predecessors, I still have a long way to go." He Yun said modestly, looked at Professor Liu on the side, and said, "Professor Liu, I think let's talk about business!" ”

"Hmm...... Let's get down to business, Li Ruihua, Yao Shulan, you should have already understood the research direction of the subject in advance, right? This time is an opportunity for you, you have to take advantage of it, learn more from He Yun, if you don't understand, you can ask me and He Yun for advice. ”

After saying this, Professor Liu immediately turned his head to look at He Yun and continued: "Xiao He, since you proposed the direction of this topic first, then you can talk to them about your ideas!" ”

"Okay! Professor Liu. He Yun nodded, and then introduced Li Ruihua and the others.

"Our topic is called "On the Development of the Ming and Qing Dynasties", first of all, we have to find out all the things in the Ming and Qing dynasties, whether they are popular romances or others, and secondly, we have to read them through......"

He Yun spent a full ten minutes introducing some of his ideas, and then he added: "In the end, I will write the paper and serve as the corresponding author, and as for the first author, my idea is that the three of us should serve together, not the second and third authors, what do you think?" ”

He Yun, the first author, naturally deserves it, after all, the whole topic was proposed by him, and the paper will also be written by him.

And Li Ruihua and Yao Shulan can only serve as the second and third authors.

But he didn't do it, mainly because he didn't want to leave a domineering impression on others.

Moreover, in the next research process, the two of them will also take on a lot of work.

So it doesn't hurt to let them be the first authors together.

In this regard, Li Ruihua and the others naturally had no opinions, they didn't even expect that He Yun would give them such a good opportunity.

You must know that having a paper with a signed first author is of great benefit to them in the next undergraduate graduation and even to continue to take the postgraduate examination.

However, at this moment, Professor Liu on the side shook his head, and he immediately poured a basin of cold water on Li Ruihua and the others.

"Ahem...... He Yun, I'm afraid that there is something wrong with you doing this! ”

"Defective?"
