The official website of the Association of Ancient Literature.

Many fans of classical literature have come to leave messages.

"Hurry up and persuade Teacher Ye, it won't work like this."

"Mr. Ye is ready to write a series of the Republic of China, does the Ancient Literature Association know in advance?

"What does the Ancient Literature Association think about this?"

Many fans have pinned their hopes on the Ancient Literature Association, after all, if you want to say who is the most unwilling to see Ye Luo to write the Republic of China series, it is definitely the Ancient Literature Association!

If Ye Luo writes Ye Tang, then their Ancient Literature Association can also follow suit.

For example, "Selected Poems of Liu Yuxi", "Selected Poems of Bai Juyi", "Selected Poems of Yuan Zhen" compiled by their Ancient Literature Association, etc., are also selling quite well.

Various analytical academic articles based on the Ye Tang series are also emerging in endlessly.

It is no exaggeration to say that the benefits brought by Ye Luo's series of books to the Ancient Literature Association are absolutely unimaginable to outsiders.

But what no one expected was that on the homepage of the official website of the Ancient Literature Association at this time, the advertisement for "Selected Poems of Yuan Zhen", which was originally hung, was suddenly replaced by "The Awakening Age"!

The official blog of the Ancient Literature Association also officially issued, "Teacher Ye Luo's new book "The Awakening Age" will be officially published and sold by the Classical Literature Publishing House! As the prologue of Mr. Ye's Republic of China series, this book is of great significance to collect. At the same time, the first book series of the Republic of China series, the preview will be launched soon, please pay more attention to the official website of the Ancient Literature Association. ”

As soon as this Weibo came out, the entire literary world was stunned.

"What's going on?"

"The Ancient Literature Association is going to publish the Republic of China series?"

"This style of painting is wrong!"

"What does the New Literature Association do? If "The Age of Awakening" is to be published, it must be the New Literature Association! What the fuck are these guys eating? ”

The New Literature Association was also stunned, they really didn't expect the people of the Ancient Literature Association to do this!

In the past few days, they have been busy with the Sino-Japanese Literature Forum, and they haven't bothered to contact Ye Luo. They haven't even adjusted their mood yet.

Ye Luo came over to write modern literature, which made the hearts of the people in the New Literature Association messy, the impact was too great, and no one thought of publishing it.

As a result, it's late now......

The Ancient Literature Association directly publishes books without following the routine, and people publish books on modern literature from the Classical Literature Publishing House, what can you do?

Soon, netizens discovered that the official website of the Ancient Literature Association has been revised again!

This routine is too familiar to everyone!

Every time Ye Luo publishes a book, the Ancient Literature Association will publicize it like this!

The entire homepage of the official website has been revised, and the base map of the homepage has become a huge promotional poster!

This time, it's the same.

It's just that this time they are promoting works of modern literature!

On the promotional poster of the base map, there are five big characters of "The Biography of Mr. Lu Xun"!

There is also a picture of a figure with short hair, flat head, beard, a long shirt, and a cigarette in his hand, although it is a stick figure, but Mr. Lu Xun is portrayed vividly.

"Holy shit! Is this propaganda serious? ”

"You are the Ancient Literature Association! What else can you advertise this? ”

"If you are kidnapped by Teacher Ye, you will blink!"

"Outrageous."

"What a scene."

"Sure enough, it's Mr. Lu Xun, it's great."

"Although the Ancient Literature Association promotes Mr. Lu Xun, this is not harmonious, but no matter what, Mr. Ye should really write the Republic of China series, this is great news!"

"As a die-hard fan of modern literature, I never thought in my life that I would run to the official website of the Ancient Literature Association one day to chase books...... What the! ”

"I'm still a fan of classical literature, can I imagine one day in my home base camp, seeing the propaganda of modern literature? It's so mysterious! ”

"The world is in chaos, and the rats are all bridesmaids for cats......"

No matter which side of the fan it is, looking at the propaganda interface of the official website of the Ancient Literature Association, they can't help but fall into silence.

This is just outrageous.

But the Ancient Literature Association was stunned!

"The Biography of Mr. Lu Xun"!

These five big characters are hanging on the homepage of their official website!

The specifications of the publicity are not ambiguous at all, and they are exactly the same as the previous "The Legend of the Poet" and "The Legend of the Poet Demon"!

Fans have long been familiar with this model, and know that the title of the book is not only a slogan, but also a link, and only after clicking on it can they see the truly valuable content.

Soon, fans clicked into this "Biography of Mr. Lu Xun".

What catches your eye is a brief introduction to Lu Xun.

Everyone has already seen these in "The Age of Awakening", and there is nothing to say.

What really interests everyone is this article released by the Association of Ancient Literature.

Just like the previous promotion of Liu Yuxi and Bai Juyi, the Ancient Literature Association also released Lu Xun's excellent works.

"Kong Yiji"!

This is the only work released by the Ancient Literature Association at present.

The Ancient Literature Association also wrote a short introduction to this article.

"Kong Yiji" is a short story written by Mr. Lu Xun, a literary giant of the Ye's Republic of China series, which was first published in the magazine "New Youth" in April 1919, and later compiled into the short story collection "The Scream". It is Mr. Lu Xun's second vernacular essay after "Diary of a Madman" on the eve of the May Fourth Movement. ”

In fact, even if the Ancient Literature Association does not write about this introduction, readers will know it. Because in "The Awakening Age", Ye Luo still describes Mr. Lu Xun a lot. Even if it is a bit general, some of the general situations are basically described in the book. For example, Mr. Lu Xun's "Diary of a Madman" was written as the first vernacular and so on.

In fact, the book "The Age of Awakening", don't look at the number of words, it is not too much, but the content in it is extremely huge.

The characters who appear in the book are also very charming.

At the same time, the Ancient Literature Association also cited the description of the social background at that time in "The Age of Awakening" as the background for the creation of this article.

At that time, the literary world had already used "New Youth" as a position, which opened the prelude to the New Culture Movement. However, at that time, the countercurrent of feudal retro was still very rampant. Although the imperial examination system has been abolished, the education of the society at that time did not turn to a new culture, but continued to inculcate the way of Confucius and Mencius. This "Kong Yiji" is Mr. Lu Xun's most fierce attack on social education and feudal forces at that time.

At this time, many netizens have already watched this "Kong Yiji".

……

At the same time, at the Sino-Japanese Cultural Forum held today, representatives of the two sides were also reading this article "Kong Yiji."

Minoru Akiyama wore glasses and looked at the manuscript in his hand with a frown, he didn't believe that Ye Luo could really write the Lu Xun described in "The Awakening Age".

[The layout of the hotel in Luzhen is different from other places: it is a large counter in the shape of a curved ruler on the street, and hot water is prepared in the cabinet, which can warm wine at any time. The laborers, who left their work in the afternoon and evening, spent four copper coins every time to buy a bowl of wine,—— which was more than 20 years ago, and now each bowl has to rise to ten yuan,—— standing outside the counter, drinking hot and resting; If you are willing to spend an extra penny, you can buy a plate of salt-boiled bamboo shoots, or fennel beans, to make wine, if you get more than a dozen yuan, then you can buy a meat dish, but these customers, most of them are short-clothed gangs, and most of them are not so generous. Only those who wore long shirts walked into the house next door to the storefront, asked for wine and food, and sat down and drank slowly. 】

Minoru Akiyama looked at this opening, didn't react much, and said lightly, "This first paragraph is written ordinary, and there is nothing outstanding about it." ”

The old man Xu Zhiyi on the opposite side also wore glasses, snorted coldly, and said, "The background is just foreshadowing, what's the hurry?" ”

Then, no one spoke, and everyone continued to watch intently.

In the second paragraph, I am talking about "I" working in the hotel, and I am the shopkeeper who asks "me" to take care of the short-shirted customers outside, but these short-shirted customers are too shrewd.

[They often have to watch the rice wine scooped out of the jar with their own eyes, see if there is water at the bottom of the pot, and see with their own eyes that the pot is put in hot water, and then rest assured. Under this severe supervision, it was also very difficult to get water. So a few days later, the shopkeeper said that I couldn't do this. Fortunately, the recommendation was so popular that he couldn't be dismissed, so he changed to a boring position in charge of warm wine. 】

At this point, the protagonist of this article, Kong Yiji, has not yet appeared, so someone on the Japanese side sneered: "The opening two paragraphs are all foreshadowing, is this a short story?" Hehe, this is what Ye Luo called Mr. Lu Xun? ”

Xu Zhiyi didn't make a stubble, and the short story tried to be short and concise, and it feels like a waste of space here. But they haven't read this "Kong Yiji" either, and no one knows what is written in the back.

In the third paragraph, the protagonist of this article finally appeared.

【…… Only when Kong Yiji arrives at the store can he laugh a few times, so he still remembers it. 】

At this point, the foreshadowing is completely over.

Next, it can be regarded as the main content of this article. But soon, Akiyama and others discovered that the foreshadowing was essential.

[Kong Yiji is the only person who wears a long shirt while standing and drinking. He was very tall; pale complexion, often with some scars between wrinkles; A raged gray beard. Although it was a long shirt, it was dirty and torn, and it seemed that it had not been mended or washed for more than ten years. 】

As mentioned earlier, those in long shirts went into the house to drink, and only the coolies in short clothes would stand outside and drink.

What's going on with Kong Yiji?

Obviously wearing a long shirt, but it is incompatible with other people who wear a long shirt.

The doubts in my heart made everyone at the scene frown slightly.

wanted to find the answer below, but the author changed his mind and did not explain at all, but introduced the origin of the name Kong Yiji.

[When he speaks to people, he is always full of words, and he teaches people what they don't understand. Because his surname is Kong, others took a nickname for him from the half-understood words of "Shangda Kong Yiji" on the red paper, called Kong Yiji. 】

It turned out that Kong Yiji was just a nickname, not his real name. And it was a nickname given to him on that half-understood red paper, how funny it looks.

But then new questions arise, does this nickname have any connotation?

You don't know, after all, you haven't finished reading it yet.

[As soon as Kong Yiji arrived at the store, all the drinkers looked at him and laughed, and some shouted, "Kong Yiji, you have a new scar on your face!" ”】

[He did not answer, but said to the cabinet, "Warm two bowls of wine, and ask for a plate of fennel beans.] "Then he discharged a lot of money. 】

[They deliberately shouted again, "You must have stolen something from someone else!"] ”】

[Kong Yiji opened his eyes wide and said, "Why do you slander people's innocence out of thin air like this......]

["What innocence? I saw with my own eyes the day before yesterday that you stole the He family's books and hung them to beat them. Kong Yiji's face turned red, the green tendons on his forehead bloomed, and he argued, "Stealing books can't be considered stealing...... Steal books! …… Can the things of the reader be regarded as stealing? The succession was difficult to understand, what "the gentleman is poor", what "the person cares" and so on, which caused everyone to laugh: the inside and outside of the store were filled with happy air. 】

Reading this, the image of a poor sour literati has jumped on the page.

"Drain Jiuwen a lot of money, this 'row' word is used well." Old Man Xu praised, "Just one word, it vividly depicts Kong Yiji's poor but showy appearance." ”

"Can the business of a scholar be called stealing? This sentence also has a bit of meaning. Zhang Rumeng also analyzed.

Akiyama and the others didn't speak, and continued to look down.

Kong Yiji was often teased and teased by the customers in the store, so he didn't want to talk to these people, so he set his eyes on the children.

【…… Kong Yiji himself knew that he couldn't talk to them, so he had to talk to the child. He once said to me, "Have you ever read?" I nodded slightly. He said, "I've read books,...... I'll test you. How is the fennel character of fennel bean written? ”】

[I think, is a begging person worthy of testing me? Then he turned his face away and paid no more attention. Kong Yiji waited for a long time, and said very earnestly, "Can't you write?" …… I'll teach you, remember! These words should be remembered. In the future, when you are the shopkeeper, you will need to use it for accounting. ”】

[I secretly thought that I was still far from the level of the shopkeeper, and our shopkeeper never put fennel beans on the account; Funny and impatient, he lazily replied to him, "Who wants you to teach, isn't it a back-and-forth reply under the grass?" ”】

[Kong Yiji looked extremely happy, knocked the long nails of his two fingers on the counter, nodded and said, "Yes, yes! …… There are four ways to write the word hui, did you know? I grew impatient, and walked away. Kong Yiji had just dipped his fingernails in wine and wanted to write on the counter, but when he saw that I was not enthusiastic, he sighed again, showing great regret. 】

Reading this, everyone shook their heads, four ways to write back words? One word, what are the four ways to write it? It's nothing more than trying to show off yourself.

Gradually, they, the people in the literary world, seem to understand what ideas Ye Luo wants to express in this article.

It seems, is it a critique of traditional feudal literati thought?

It's not over yet, though.

Kong Yiji hadn't come to drink for a long time, and he heard that he had broken his leg by stealing something from Ding Ju's house.

But on this day, Kong Yiji came.

His face was black and thin, and he was no longer in shape; Wear a torn jacket with your legs crossed, and a pouch underneath it, and hang it on your shoulders with a straw rope.

He came with his hands, and after drinking a bowl of wine, he paid four cents, and then sat down and walked slowly with his hands amid the laughter of others.

[Since then, I haven't seen Kong Yiji for a long time. At the end of the year, the shopkeeper took off the chalk board and said, "Kong Yiji still owes nineteen dollars!" In the Dragon Boat Festival of the second year, he said, "Kong Yiji still owes nineteen dollars!" "I didn't say it until the Mid-Autumn Festival, and I didn't see him at the end of the year. 】

[I haven't seen it until now—about Kong Yiji is indeed dead.] 】

[March 1919.] 】

At this point, this "Kong Yiji" can be regarded as a complete end.

At this time, Akiyama and the others no longer said that the foreshadowing at the beginning was a waste of pen and ink.

Because, the number of words in this article is really not much, it can be said that with minimalist pen and ink, the image of Kong Yiji, a tragic reader, has been created.

At this time, there was already a lot of discussion on the forum.

Many people were reading it, and they didn't talk about anything, only Akiyama and Xu Lao said a few words.

But this will, everyone can't bear it!

Zhang Rumeng was the first to comment: "The words are simple and capable, and the thoughts are sharp and profound. If this is written by Ye Luo, then this one will be first-class. But if this is written by Mr. Lu Xun, then I would like to call it a 'classic of the ages'. ”

Zhang Rumeng's evaluation made many people echo it.

Whether a work is excellent or not depends not only on how the work is written, but also on the background of the times.

And the era in which Ye Luo's "Kong Yiji" was born was the era in which Lu Xun lived!

"Mr. Ye's creative technique is really clever and ingenious."

"Just looking at "Kong Yiji", there are too many things worth learning in it. This kind of description from the details should be studied well. ”

"Indeed, but the most important thing to pay attention to is the mind."

Everyone talked about it, even if some Japanese writers said a few words from time to time, it was rare that they didn't find fault.

It can be said that today's forum is the most harmonious day in a while.

Even Minoru Akiyama, the top boss in the Japanese literary world, was silent for a moment when he finished reading this "Kong Yiji", and finally gave an eight-word evaluation, "It's unthinkable, incredible." ”

Many of the people attending the meeting didn't understand his comments at the time.

Rambled?

Incredible?

Is this "Kong Yiji" imaginative?

But Xu Lao, a writer of the older generation, was silent when they heard Akiyama's comment.

They understood what Akiyama meant!

This "Kong Yiji" was written by Lu Xun to criticize the darkness of Lu Xun's era. The character of Kong Yiji shows the tragic fate of the vast number of lower-class intellectuals in that era, and satirizes the era of "cannibalism". It also reveals that the world was cold and cold in that era, no one had any sympathy for the miserable Kong Yiji, his surroundings were full of ridicule and ridicule, and the whole society was so indifferent and numb to the unfortunate?

Through the character of Kong Yiji, Mr. Lu Xun revealed to the world that it is a sick society!

But the key is that there is no Mr. Lu Xun in this world.

Mr. Lu Xun, isn't he also a fictional character?

Was this "Kong Yiji" written by Lu Xun or Ye Luo?

Thinking of this, Xu Zhiyi and these old men were all silent.

They see farther and think more deeply than Zhang Rumeng and others.

Akiyama Minorukata's sentence is not actually talking about "Kong Yiji", but about the creative technique of Ye Luo.

It's whimsical, incredible, and hard to tell the real from the fake.

PS: I don't have a eunuch, seven thousand are ordered, how can I be a eunuch, I was too tired yesterday and accidentally fell asleep at night.

I recommend a friend's book, writing about Go, which is very interesting.
