"Cats, it's hard to control their mating!"

"Donkeys, ......fed by the poor," Qin Chao opened the paper and continued to write where he had left off.

Darwin's "On the Origin of Species" consists of fifteen chapters, and it is the closing paragraphs of the chapter "Domestic Variation" that the Qin Dynasty wrote, and soon the Qin Dynasty stopped writing. "This first chapter has been largely written, but the article has always been written for the first time, and it is shit...... Qin Chao looked at the written content from the beginning, "The logic is correct, and the words are concise and ......accurate."

"Sheng Dynasty. A shadow walked in.

Qin Chao's eyes lit up: "You came just in time, show me what needs to be improved in this chapter." ”

"Just finished writing the first chapter?" Guo Yuanyuan's eyes also lit up, and she couldn't wait to grab the manuscript of the Qin Dynasty, and looked at it carefully, "The organization is clear, the reasoning is rigorous, the writing is elegant and beautiful, and it is ......" Guo Yuanyuan nodded, her eyes flashed, "You have told me many times about this 'domestic variation', and we have even argued, but what you wrote down has increased a lot in depth and breadth compared to when you told me, I have a feeling of desperately wanting to believe what you say, not bad!"

The first chapter of "The Origin of Species" does not have many words, only nearly 30,000 words, and here the Qin Dynasty is naturally written in elegant ancient Chinese, and nearly 10,000 words were also written, and Guo Yuanyuan quickly finished reading it.

"How is it?" Qin Chao looked at Guo Yuanyuan expectantly.

"Good!"

"Are there any loopholes and improvements to be made?"

"Improvement?" Guo Yuanyuan glanced at Qin Chao strangely: "You didn't mean to say the opposite, or to show off?" I feel that I have done my best, and the words, reasoning, and examples have all been perfected. You wrote it in one sitting, not a revised version?"

"Yuanyuan, I sincerely ask you to check it. Qin Chao said.

Indeed, judging from the words, reasoning, examples, etc., it seems that this first chapter has been extremely good. But Qin Chao always felt that something was wrong.

"There is really no need to improve this article in terms of reasoning and words, if you have to change it......" Guo Yuanyuan looked at the manuscript in her hand repeatedly, and suddenly her eyes lit up, "I think that like these pigeons, cats, dogs, horses, donkeys, and various domestic crops, there can be more and more comprehensive examples of them." ”

"Examples?"

Qin Chao trembled. It was as if a bolt of lightning split through the clouds and mist.

"I understand that the origin of species is a matter of substance, and that real science, especially this kind of biology, must be explained on the basis of the specimen, otherwise it will be empty and large, one is not good for others to understand, two is not convincing enough, and three is no different from them. ”

"Them?" Guo Yuanyuan's nose moved slightly: "Sheng Dynasty will not refer to those who sound very reasonable among the hundred princes. The artistic conception is endless, and it is applicable everywhere, but it is actually a slightly empty classic sentence, right?"

"Yuanyuan. Qin Chao grabbed her hand excitedly, "Thank you!"

Guo Yuanyuan's face turned red, and she shook her hand, broke free, and rushed out of the study like a shy girl. Qin Chao looked at Guo Yuanyuan's back, and a trace of impulse surged in his heart. After thinking about it, I still resisted the urge to catch up.

"I'm writing about the origin of species this time, and it's different from anything else. ”

The Qin Dynasty withdrew its thoughts from Guo Yuanyuan. "Although "On Qi" also has its own language. But it is basically a copy of Song Yingxing's original work, and I have read many classic ancient texts translated into the vernacular in my previous life, even the original, but there are still relatively few books in the West. ”

"The Origin of Species" is the greatest and most glorious epoch-making milestone in the history of the development of human thought.

The impact has been unprecedented.

It's a pity that the Qin Dynasty didn't read it seriously, and of course it can't be said that it didn't read it at all, and it was still read at random in the early days. But that kind of flipping through it is like flipping through it when you are looking for a book in the library.

The reason why the Qin Dynasty dared to write "The Origin of Species" is because although it did not really memorize the original "Origin of Species", the general content of the truth told by the origin of species, what is said in each of the fifteen chapters, is still very clear. Because of Darwin's "The Origin of Species", considering the needs of the times, he not only needs to convince scientists, but also ordinary people, so the language and style are very different from those after the 20th century, and his articles are styled, logical arguments, metaphors, similes and many other aspects, whether it is a scientist or not, scholars, no matter what era, and even the 23rd century in which the Qin Dynasty is still necessary to read.

In view of this situation, in addition to the original book of "The Origin of Species", there is also a "super-translation", the so-called "super-translation" is to abandon the rigorous and lengthy argumentation process, and directly present the classic passages and generalized conclusions in the original work, which is somewhat similar to the quotation style.

"The Origin of Species Super Translation, I can recite it in general, and ......"

Of course, the Qin Dynasty understood that the so-called 'super-translation' was very despised in the West, which emphasized logical argumentation, and in later generations when civilization was developed, but the more classic it was in this era, the more it did not pay attention to logical and rigorous argumentation.

The ancient Chinese classics pay attention to the multi-dimensional and three-dimensional artistic conception.

A thousand people can give a thousand interpretations of this scripture, so the ancient Chinese Tao Te Ching was translated into Western languages, and around the 20th century, there were 500 versions, and by the time I had thousands of versions.

This is completely contrary to the West's emphasis on clarity and not causing misunderstanding.

If the Qin Dynasty directly threw out the 'super translation', not only would it not make people feel wrong, but it would have a feeling that it was unfathomable, in line with the ancient sages and the theories of the hundred schools of thought.

This kind of style of writing that always means something and does not speak clearly and unmistakably is at least inherently invincible in reasoning.

The debates of ancient doctrines are often arguments about the 'interpretations' of the classics.

"Confucianism, even if it is given to future generations, has countless supporters, because it can be interpreted slightly with different times, and the right of interpretation is always in oneself, who can really fully argue it?"

This kind of literary style that only stands up for its own reasoning and is not knocked down by others is not wanted by the Qin Dynasty. The Qin Dynasty understands better that even those classics are impossible not to be knocked down, because it is impossible for every sentence to really have infinite artistic conception, but it is just one or two more meanings than a single line and one meaning, otherwise the Qin Dynasty threw out a sexual evil, and Confucianism would not be so touched and so dilemma.

"Throw out the 'super-translation'. In terms of literary style, it conforms to the tradition of the hundred schools of thought and the Confucian cultural circle, but this tradition also has a disadvantage, that is, if you like it very much, you will be regarded as a treasure, and you will step on it to the bottom if you don't like it. Relegated to garbage. ”

The Qin Dynasty can imagine that after the 'super translation' was thrown, it would be supported by only a small number of people like the works of other Zhuzi Baijia, and then passed down from generation to generation, if it was more popular, it would be like the Analects, there would be many interpretations, otherwise there would not be even a translation, and if you were lucky, some beautiful sentences in the book would be passed on. It has been quoted again and again, but only a few sentences of the classics that seem to be taken out of context.

"But there is still a super-translation. ”

The real usefulness of the super-translation is the same as that of other classics of this era, that is, it is used to make a collection of Taoist questions and to combine the Tao.

"In the martial arts world, strict logic can always only be at the end, and the proof of real power is still Hedao. ”

"The super-translation is used internally, and what really spreads to the outside must be similar to the original "Origin of Species", and this aspect ...... "Darwin wrote "The Origin of Species" because he studied all kinds of creatures in the world for many years. He even took a British ship at his own expense to go on a round-the-world expedition. Everywhere I went, I would carefully investigate and study, interview local residents, ask them to be guides, climb mountains and wade through waters, collect mineral and animal specimens, and dig up biological fossils.

"I've got the point of view of evolution through it. Naturally, there is no longer a need to investigate all kinds of animals and plants for many years, as Darwin did, but the necessary biological knowledge is still needed. ”

Knowing the answer and then looking for evidence is dozens or even hundreds of times less difficult than knowing nothing.

But the difficulty is smaller. The reserve of biological knowledge must also reach a critical level.

"Writing about the mutation of domestic animals and plants, I can still control it, after all, I have a certain understanding of domestic creatures, but the ...... of nature" Qin Chao's eyes flashed a light, "Since this is the case, then so be it......"

In the early morning, on the avenue of Zhuangyuan Street, two old men in long robes with fairy wind bones walked leisurely.

"Guo Shengren is early!"

"Master Wen, do you want to eat an orange?"

Guo Xuzhen and Wen Shida have lived in Dali for decades, and most of the locals in Dali City know each other, Guo Xuzhen and Wen Shida nodded casually to deal with the greeting neighbors, and then entered a teahouse.

"Old Wen, these days you have posted three articles in a row that attack my disciple, don't you think you have gone too far?" Guo Xuzhen took a sip of fragrant tea, and said in a low voice with a slightly calm face, "Isn't my disciple just making some achievements, and it really hinders you?

"Lao Guo, what are you talking about. Wen Shida's cheeks were slightly hot, and he put down the thick porridge he was about to drink, "You take a closer look at that article, I always heard that it was specifically aimed at him Duan Haifeng?

Guo Xuzhen's face was even more gloomy, and he drank a few sips of fragrant tea and was silent.

"Lao Guo. Wen Shida smiled again, "Actually, you are a fan of the authorities, didn't you find out." ”

"What did you find?"

"That disciple of yours is a super killer, and I always have a feeling that he will definitely become a big man in the future, and his future is not something you and I can speculate. Wen Shida said with a smile.

"Then why are you still there?"

"Human nature is inherently evil, and everything in the world is inherently evil. Wen Shida sighed in a low voice, "The back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves, and the front waves die on the beach, I remember this sentence came out of Duan Haifeng's mouth, in fact, it really makes sense if you think about it carefully, Confucianism is prosperous and a hundred schools are ruined, Tang Xing is extinguished, Song Xing is extinguished, and Chen is extinguished, your disciple is so talented, I always feel that this is to be buried, to sweep away the posture of a qiē school." ”

"Sweep, buried?" Guo Xuzhen pondered.

"If we don't stop this, when he laughs proudly in the sky, I will be all the dung of my life. Wen Shida drank the thick porridge on the table in one gulp, "Can you imagine that the knowledge that we have worked hard for all our lives will end up being just a bunch of pedantic and ridiculous chaff in the eyes of future generations, not only useless in the world, but also dangerous, how terrible is that scene?"

Guo Xuzhen's face was ugly, frowning and thinking.

"My Confucian learning, will it be a pile of chaff? impossible, ......impossible, absolutely impossible" Guo Xuzhen shook his head, Wen Shida had already gotten up and left the teahouse.

"He synthesized the essence of nature and evil, subverting my Confucian concept of goodness, and he synthesized the essence of emptiness, and subverted the concept of nature and evil again...... He also wants to write "The Origin of Species" to spy on the forbidden area of life......" Guo Xuzhen sweated on his forehead.

"Have you heard? Duan Haifeng's son bought horse bones, that Liu Orion, but he has been hunting in the mountains for many years, and he knows a little more about the habits of mountain objects than us, so he was invited by Duan Gongzi, I heard that it was only after less than half a day of interviewing, Liu Orion was rewarded with five taels of silver, tsk, tsk, five taels, so how much prey does Liu Orion have to hunt to earn?"

"What?"

Guo Xuzhen looked at the man who spoke, "Duan Haifeng's daughter buys horse bones?" (to be continued......)
