Chapter 99: What is Text?
Chang Xian watched Zheng Mang climb onto the co-pilot, skillfully fasten his seat belt, and said with a smile: "Sisters, what did you mean when you said that there are no Western restaurants in China?" ”
Zheng Mang said: "Not only in China, strictly speaking, Western restaurants all over the world are not formal. ”
"Oh?"
Chang Xian asked curiously, "Why are Western restaurants all over the world not formal?" ”
Zheng Mang said contemptuously: "In these countries in Europe and the United States, there is no such thing as a Western restaurant at all, only French restaurants, Italian restaurants, British restaurants and so on. In Asia, countries such as China, Japan, South Korea and other countries have mixed these dishes together and collectively called Western food for strategic management. ”
She smiled: "And what's interesting is that Asian Chinese food, Japanese food, Korean. National cuisine, Vietnamese cuisine, etc., are collectively referred to as Asian cuisine by European and American countries, and there are many Asian restaurants in the West. ”
"That's the beautiful misunderstanding of distance. We can't tell the difference between French and British food, and Europeans and Americans can't tell the difference between Chinese food and Japanese food. ”
Chang Xian drove Dafa up and said with a smile: "The fun thing is also snow peas, its name is very nonsense, Chinese call it "snow peas", the Dutch call it "Chinese beans", its origin is actually in Thailand, Myanmar and ......"
Talking and laughing all the way, time flies.
Chang Xian sent the Zhengda reporter who had traveled 50 miles to the unit, and the front of the car was deflected, and he arrived at the gate of the Southern Normal School in a few minutes.
When I got out of the car, I carried the big bags and small bags to the yard, and the sweat-stained body was blown by the cool breeze, which was more comfortable.
Autumn is already in front of me, and the pomegranate branches on the top of my head are pulled down and keep shaking in front of my eyes.
The grapes in the west are not growing well, they may not be cooked, and the leaves are showing signs of death.
On the east side, small gourds were formed under the vines, and the wind swayed and swayed, as if they were happily shouting "Grandpa!" "Grandpa!"
Chang Xian put his things down, Nanshi looked around him a few times, and handed him a bowl of cold white open, with a touch of surprise in his eyes.
Chang Xian straightened his waist, took it and drank it all, wiped his mouth and said: "Nanshi, I think it's okay, I haven't seen you for a few days, I have more temperament in my body......"
"You kid's temperament!"
Nanshi was stunned, he intercepted the words, and gave him a brain collapse with a "snap": "Well, this hat bought well this time, you don't know, the most fashionable one in the past was the "sheep shear wool hat" of the Beijing Hat Factory, which was popular throughout the capital at that time. Don't look at the price of a hat that is almost worth a month's salary, but in order to buy one, you have to queue up for half a night......"
"Stop, stop, Nanshi, I think, you have this memory, you might as well go and see the grapes, it's a pity!"
Chang Xian sighed twice, shook his head and smiled: "Actually, you can remove the grapes and plant a garlic vine, this thing is strong and strong, there are few pests and diseases, and the flower color can change automatically." ”
Nan Shi looked at him with slanted eyes and said, "Don't want the grapes, next time Xiao Yao's old man comes over and asks them to join forces to draw a garlic vine?" ”
In this courtyard, a few bushes of peonies are planted against the wall, and the rest are planted with mint and jasmine.
In front of a few bushes of flowers and plants, there are also two flat-bellied water tanks, two kings in one mouth, and a few red fish in one mouth.
Chang Xian walked over and looked at the two water tanks in front of him, and the person in the tank seemed to have a dog's head.
He shrunk his neck and said a little weakly: "Oh, it's a pity that the swing is a pity, hanging upside down grape trellis and hanging garlic vine upside down don't seem to be the same artistic conception!" ”
Nan Shi patted the back of his head, blaming him in his mouth, but the wrinkles on his face faded with a smile.
"Running the train with a mouth, with this kung fu, help me cut the pomegranate, and point to it to eat the pomegranate next year!"
"What a ......"
Chang Xian gave these two trees a thumbs up, and they didn't die under the rough cultivation of Nanshi, which can be called tenacious.
He stood up, found a pair of large scissors, and began to trim with a click.
Pomegranate has three stubble fruits, generally leave two stubble, three stubble, and prune in all seasons.
The pomegranate tree in Nanshi has been growing for seven or eight years, and it has been waiting to eat pomegranates every year, but the result is either insect or disease.
……
Chang Xian is lucky.
The old man ate fried noodles tonight, an authentic taste of Beijing.
The real jajangmyeon is made differently throughout the year.
In early spring, bean sprouts are paired, and in late spring, toon, green garlic, and radish tassels are served; In summer, it is paired with cucumber shreds and new garlic sprouts; In autumn, it is served with shredded cucumbers and carrots......
Now there are two kinds of tender silk cut in the bowl, and Chang Xian has a great appetite, and he has made two large bowls.
Xiaoman also ate well, and Chang Xian bought him a box of ham sausages.
After the meal, the old man lay on the recliner that had just arrived, squinting at the sun in the sky gradually losing its temperature, yellow and clear, like a salted egg yolk.
The old man asked, "If you were asked to sum up the antique shop in one word, which word would you use?" ”
"Jian."
Chang Xian replied without thinking.
"That's right. "The Biography of Mao" said: Examine the form. A "Jian" word breaks the core key of this industry. ”
The old man tried his best to use popular language to communicate with Chang Xian: "You should know that "text" and "character" are not the same thing. ”
Chang Xian nodded, although he didn't understand the study of text exegesis, he still knew a little about it.
The word "text" is exquisite.
The so-called "Wen" refers to pictographs, or individual characters, which are visible in nature, that is, "Wen" in a narrow sense, such as the word day, such as the word month.
The so-called "word" refers to the meaning of the word, or the combination of words, these are not visible in nature, can only be understood, this belongs to the narrow sense of the "word". For example, the daylight of the day, the moonlight of the night, and the addition of the sun and the moon together form the word "Ming".
The pictographic "text" and the ideographic "character" are combined into "words".
The original text of the word "jian" is prison.
Jian is a word for understanding, and the ancient character is like a person kneeling or standing next to a vessel to examine his appearance.
Taking copper as a reference, it was about the end of the Spring and Autumn Period or the beginning of the Warring States Period.
Before that, people relied on water to know their faces.
……
"You can appreciate things, people, and history. I know that I can use water and copper for my face, and now I can use glass. ”
The old man's eyes were empty, and he didn't look at Chang Xian, and asked, "What do you rely on to appreciate things, history, and hearts?" ”
Chang Xian thought about it: "Use knowledge." ”
"Well, with knowledge, there is more knowledge in the whole world, what kind of knowledge is used?"
The old man asked: "The same is white porcelain, there are white porcelain from the Han Dynasty and white porcelain from the Song Dynasty." It is also the white porcelain of the Song Dynasty, with Dehua kiln and Xing kiln. ”
"It is also colored porcelain, with the five colors of Wanli and the five colors of Kangxi. It is also celadon, with Ru kiln and Longquan kiln. It is also blue and white, with Jingdezhen and Leping kilns. It is also Tianmu glazed porcelain, and there are Jizhou kilns and Yaozhou kilns......"
"A kiln mouth has a kiln mouth knowledge, do you know the style formation of various kiln mouths? Do you know the characteristics of raw materials in each place? Do you know the culture and folklore of various eras? Do you know the level of technology in each era? Do you know the preferences of each emperor of each dynasty? ”
