Zheng Zhiwen was a little disappointed when he heard He Yun's words, but there was no way, since He Yun didn't accept apprentices, how could he not force He Yun to accept apprentices, besides, he was just trying, and he didn't have to worship He Yun as a teacher.

Now that He Yun is unwilling, he naturally will not force He Yun.

"Oh well! Since this is the case, then forgive me for being abrupt" At this time, Zheng Zhiwen showed a lost expression, and he was about to turn around and leave, but unexpectedly, at this moment, He Yun suddenly stopped him.

"Wait a minute, I'm not done yet".

He Yun smiled slightly at this time, and continued to him randomly: "What are you anxious about!" I can't take you as an apprentice, but I can guide you! ”

He Yun's words made Zheng Zhiwen's eyes suddenly light up, and he seemed to be waiting for He Yun's words.

"Really? Teacher He! ”

"Nature is true!" He Yun nodded, and then replied.

"Can I just ask?" Zheng Zhiwen said again.

"Uh......! All I can say is what I can answer, try to answer you! He Yun couldn't help but be stunned and said.

"That's nature! That's natural" Zheng Zhiwen nodded awkwardly, he was silent for a while, and then said: "Then I'll ask, Teacher He." ”

"Ask! Just ask! He Yun smiled at him.

"Mr. He, in fact, I have submitted manuscripts to Xudong Magazine before, and I have published some articles, but in the long form, I have not had any recognized works, especially realistic themes, I have also tried to write, but I write, not because the inspiration is exhausted, or because I can't even read it, can I ask why? Or is there any way to help me solve this problem? ”

"Well...... It's not a big problem, the average creator actually has such a bottleneck, and the reason why it is said to be a bottleneck is because after the breakthrough, you will suddenly find that everything is suddenly clear. I'll give you an example, and you'll get the idea. ”

"For example, if you create a rural theme, what do you usually do before you create it?"

"Of course, it's about determining the direction and collecting relevant writing materials!" Zheng Zhiwen hurriedly replied.

"That's right! After you have determined the general direction of writing, the next step is to collect materials and create an outline, but you have neglected an important task, which is to determine the general tone of your work, or what are the values you want to convey to the reader. ”

He Yun's words suddenly made Zheng Zhiwen's eyes light up, he seemed to think of something, and immediately said: "Teacher He, you mean that I have to treat myself as a reader and substitute myself in it, right?" ”

"Hahaha..... You can teach! This is the substitution method in creation, only then can you create a good work from the reader's point of view. He Yun immediately nodded at Zheng Zhiwen and said.

He found that the Kyoto University student in front of him was really smart, and not only was he able to quickly understand what he was trying to say, but he was also able to see the truth through the clouds.

"In addition to setting the basic tone before the official creation, you also have to try to relax and relax in the creation, achieve a combination of work and rest, and communicate with people more, and you must not work behind closed doors."

"Teacher He, I know all this you said, and in fact, I did the same." Zheng Zhiwen nodded again and again.

"Not bad! Not bad! If you think of this, it proves that you put some thought into it. When He Yun said this, he seemed to remember something again, and continued: "One more point. You also have to remember that when you are writing a long story, you must not give up halfway, you must persevere, even if you can't write it anyway, you have to write it down, even if you stop writing for a long time, you need to persevere. This is very important. ”

"It's like the cultivation in ancient times, there was a certain bottleneck, after breaking through, when you create this kind of long-form work again, you will feel that it is actually very easy to create a long-form work."

All of what He Yun said is actually his creative experience over the years.

Of course, in addition to this, there is also some "common sense" when writing online articles in previous lives.

That's right!

In the era of online literature in later generations, the most taboo is "eunuch", the eunuch is cool for a while, and the eunuch has always been cool.

If you can't finish a work with gritted teeth, you will always have such a "bottleneck".

And at this moment, for He Yun's words, Zheng Zhiwen at this time couldn't help but fall into contemplation.

After a while, he seemed to have figured it out, and immediately said to He Yun: "Teacher He, I still have a question I want to ask you, I don't know ......"

"No problem, just say yes! Didn't I tell you everything, I can tell you, I'll tell you. He Yun didn't wait for Zheng Zhiwen to finish speaking, and immediately said to him.

Hearing He Yun's words, Zheng Zhiwen nodded immediately, he hesitated for a moment, as if he was organizing language, and after a while, he looked at He Yun and said: "I have seen Mr. He's "Archaeological Series", and a professor from Kyoto University once commented on Mr. He's work, and he said that from your work, it can be seen that Mr. He, you are very knowledgeable, and you have deep research in history, archaeology, physics, chemistry and other fields, I want to know, is this true?" ”

"Hahaha...... How can I tell you, in fact, the so-called knowledge, is just the usual accumulation, and for writers like us, collecting materials is also a science, before you create a work, maybe you do a lot of preliminary work than you create an outline, I say this, do you know what I mean? ”

When He Yun said this, he didn't set his eyes on Zheng Zhiwen.

"Ugh....... In other words, it's not that you really understand this, Mr. He, but just the information you searched through various channels in advance, right? ”

Zheng Zhiwen was stunned and reacted immediately.

"Not anymore! You must know that a person's life, time is limited, and it is extremely difficult to learn so much knowledge, so don't think about being a knowledgeable person, you kid don't think about being a knowledgeable person, learning a knowledge is enough for you to use for a lifetime. ”

He Yun's heartfelt words are not just words.

That's what he did.

Although he usually asks himself to keep learning and improving, to be honest, it is very difficult to learn so many things perfectly.

After all, there are too few true masters in history!

As an ordinary person, what you have to do is to learn what you have learned thoroughly, not to be ambitious.

"I see! Teacher He! After a while, Zheng Zhiwen couldn't help but nodded.

........

In the following time, he asked He Yun several questions about literary creation, and He Yun also told him some of his creative experience.

More than an hour later, he left the courtyard.

Before he left, he told He Yun that he would always remember He Yun's teachings.

For this promise of his, He Yun just smiled at him and didn't take it to heart.

But he didn't know that a few years later, he met him at a meeting of the Kyoto Writers' Association, and by that time he had already become a member of the Kyoto Writers' Association.

Of course, that's a later story, so let's not mention it for now.

Besides, at this moment, after He Yun sent away this "fan", he also started his own creation.

A few days later, Professor Liu called him over, handed him a copy, and said to him: "I have read the paper, there are no major problems, but there are a lot of small problems, I have marked your paper with a pencil, you can take a closer look!" ”

"Also, I have already discussed with several professors about your defense, and when the time comes, I will inform you of the specific time, which is estimated to be in a week! Prepare yourself. ”

"A week later? Professor, I see! I'll be well prepared. He Yun nodded solemnly at Professor Liu and said.

"Hmm...... Well, in that case, then I won't keep you, and I'll have to go out and talk to those old guys. When Professor Liu said this, he waved his hand at He Yun and asked him to leave first.

........

Three more days passed.

It was already mid-June.

He Yun received another notice from Professor Liu that his graduation defense was scheduled for June 20.

At that time, five professors will be present at his defense, and he told He Yun to be fully prepared.

Because the school attaches great importance to his "celebrity" doctoral defense.

After having Professor Liu's reminder, He Yun naturally didn't dare to slack off.

He calculated the time, there were about four days left, and he didn't need to prepare for the opening remarks, and as for the doctoral dissertation, he would revise it in the last day or two.

And the most important part of the defense, he has to be fully prepared, after all, there are five professors present at his defense, and no one knows what questions they will ask, so he has to think about most of the questions that may be asked, so that nothing goes wrong.

For this reason, he stopped writing, and asked Wang Ruoxu not to bother him if he didn't have something very important.

As for teaching students, of course there is no need for it.

After all, it's mid-June, and he's already done his class time.

In this way, He Yun locked himself in the study, facing the computer and the materials and papers on the table, and began a "retreat".

.........

In the blink of an eye, it was June 20th.

On this day, He Yun got up early, he took a deep breath, and drove to Kyoto Normal University with his thesis.

Moments later, he was in a classroom.

At this time, there were already five people sitting in the classroom.

In addition to Professor Liu, there are four other professors who he doesn't even know.

This left him a little confused.

Could it be from another college?

Shouldn't that be?

Just when He Yun was secretly puzzled, Professor Liu smiled and said to He Yun: "These are all professors from Huaqing and Kyoto University, He Yun, are you ready?" ”

"What? Huaqing vs. Kyoto University? Why did you invite professors from other universities? That doesn't seem like a rule, does it? ”

He Yun secretly underestimated it, but he didn't delve into it.

Anyway, it's all this time, and he can't care about so much.

"Hello teachers, my doctoral dissertation topic is ......."

After a very brief opening remark, He Yun began to introduce his thesis.

After about ten minutes, he stopped his introduction and set his eyes on the five professors present.

These five professors are all old professors, and they are all at least in their fifties.

At this moment, the professor sitting in the middle said to He Yun: "Student He Yun, let me ask you a question, in this paper of yours, you talked about the development of literary mythology in the Ming and Qing dynasties, so how do you view the subject of mythology?" ”

"Uh......? This, mythological themes occupy an important position in the literature of the Ming and Qing dynasties, whether it is "Journey to the West" or "Fengshen Bang", or "Strange Tales from Liao Zhai", in fact, they are all closely related to people's lives, to put it bluntly, it is not so much a mythological theme, but a secular theme, which seems to be a fairy, but in fact it is a description of the secular world......."

After He Yun Balabala said a lot of his own understanding, the professor sitting in the middle nodded with great satisfaction.

He glanced at the professor on his left and didn't ask anything more.

Next, Professor Liu whispered to the professor beside him, "Professor Xu, it's up to you to ask."

"Okay, then I'll ask!"

"Ask! Just ask! Don't mind if this kid is my student, just ask! ”

"Okay! He Yun, I also have a doubt, I just heard you say that in the early Qing Dynasty and the middle and late Qing Dynasty, there were some changes in the theme of mythology, can you tell us more about what has changed? And what is the reason for this change? ”

"Okay, in fact, for this problem, I also explained in this paper that in the early years of the Qing Dynasty, the mythological themes were generally less than those in the middle and late Qing Dynasty, and for some works, they were also strictly controlled by the Qing court, which can be seen from the literary prison......."

"I think one of the most important reasons for this change is that the rulers of the current dynasty have a ........ control over the people compared to the Ming Dynasty."

He Yun analyzed this issue directly from a historical perspective.

And made a detailed analysis on this issue.

After listening to He Yun's words, Professor Xu didn't say anything more, obviously he was satisfied with He Yun's answer. So at this moment, he turned his head and looked at another professor from Huaqing University: "Professor Zheng, it's up to you to ask next!" ”

"I don't have anything to ask about your dissertation, I want to ask you a question other than the dissertation, for ancient Chinese literature, do you think Ming and Qing literature is the most important direction in the entire research direction?"

"Uh...... This and this ......."

For a while, He Yun was also stopped by the professor's question.

He had thought of all the questions he might ask, but he didn't expect anyone to ask a question that didn't seem to have much to do with the paper.
