Chapter 519 "The Age of Awakening"
Another day passed, Fang Minghua and his party finished their trip to Han Lake and boarded the train back to Xijing.
The past 10 days here were generally quite enjoyable. I saw the beautiful scenery of Han Lake and the cultural relics, but drinking and dancing every day was a bit unbearable.
When I got home, my daughter-in-law Song Tangtang came back in the evening. The young couple cuddled on the sofa, and Fang Minghua told her about his trip to Hanhu Lake.
Song Tangtang didn't say anything about her husband drinking and dancing. It's like this in society now, and Fang Minghua is better off.
He just touched the girl's little hands and hugged her slim waist, nothing else, and Song Tangtang knew that Fang Minghua's dancing posture was very formal.
I was not surprised when I heard him talk about "cultural prose".
My husband’s talent in the field of literature is undoubted. He has dabbled in novels, poetry, and literary theory, especially novels.
I can write not only "The Sun Also Rises", "Roadside Picnic" and "Xiao Dongmei Wanders in the Classic of Mountains and Seas", such avant-garde works that make people watch the mist, but also "The Swordsman in the Snow" 》 Such popular martial arts.
Of course, writing love novels is also a skill. Song Tangtang even doubted that he could write erotic novels. The stories this guy told when they were having sex made her blush. How did she know that he was so embarrassed? Dead man's stuff?
Of course, I just want her to listen, and I can't tell other women.
"Okay, I'm going to do my business." Fang Minghua stood up and walked to the study.
"What are you doing? Are you going to write your cultural prose?" Song Tangtang asked subconsciously.
“Practice calligraphy!”
Who asked me to agree to that Xu Yue and write the cover for his magazine? What if I don’t practice well and make Jia Pingwa and the others laugh?
Of course, he wanted to write the cultural prose as soon as possible.
In addition to the humanistic history of the Tianhan area, Fang Minghua is also planning to write about what he saw and heard along the way to Baiyin, Gansu Province, to form a series.
Of course, writing this kind of humanistic history must have relatively detailed historical data, otherwise it will be a joke. Before leaving from Tianhan, Fang Minghua asked Wang Peng to get the county annals of the counties in the Tianhan area, as well as praises like For archaeological data on famous historical sites such as the Hegu Plank Road and Wumenyan, one has to go to Western University to check the relevant data.
Northwestern University was formerly known as National Northwest Associated University. During the Anti-Japanese War, some teachers and students of Northwest Associated University moved to the Tianhan area and established the School of Engineering, School of Law and Business, and School of Agriculture of Northwest Associated University, which were distributed in Tianhan and Han Dynasties. county.
While studying, teachers and students conducted archaeological research on the cultural relics and monuments in the Tianhan area, forming a wealth of historical materials, which are all stored in the Western University Library. These are what Fang Minghua needs. .
This afternoon, Fang Minghua drove to the library of Xi'an University. The car parked on the street opposite the entrance of Xi'an University and walked into the campus.
Every time Fang Minghua comes to Western University, he usually drives. However, the car has never been inside and has always been parked outside the campus.
The university campus in this era is still a pure land, there is no need to drive in and show off.
The weather is nice today, the wind is sunny and sunny. Fang Minghua walks on campus and encounters students who greet him from time to time.
“Teacher Fang.”
"Professor Fang"
Fang Minghua responded with a smile.
Fang Minghua is now a visiting professor at Western University. He lectures to undergraduates and graduate students. Many students come to attend the lectures because of his reputation, and many people know him.
Fortunately, now that we have entered the 1990s, the craze for literature has begun to cool down. Unlike in the early 1980s, those literary enthusiasts would either ask for advice from writers with their own poems or novels, or No matter what, let’s discuss some literature first.
Fang Minghua turned a corner and saw an old man face to face. Liu Jianjun, vice president of Western University and former director of the Chinese Department.
"Principal Liu" Fang Minghua took the initiative to greet him.
"Minghua, are you here to check information?" Liu Jianjun said.
“Yes, I want to write some prose travel notes.”
Liu Jianjun was surprised when he heard this.
"Prose? Minghua, I have seen you write novels, poems or literary theory, but I have never seen you write prose."
"I went to Tianhan not long ago and visited some historical and cultural sites. Historical sites, so I want to write about it." Fang Minghua answered truthfully.
"This is very good. Let me read it after you finish it."
"I don't dare, I will let you give me advice when the time comes."
The two of them chatted. After a few words, they each left, but Liu Jianjun didn't forget to say something before leaving.
"Minghua, I will come to the school to give lectures soon."
Me.
Fang Minghua is a visiting professor at Western University. There is no specific arrangement for the lecture time. He just guarantees how many lectures he will give in one semester. I went to Tianhan to take a class some time ago, but I haven’t been to Western University recently.
After a week of preparation, Fang Minghua finally started writing.
First of all, let’s talk about "Gun Xue" written by Cao Cao that I saw in the museum. It talks about the "Three Caos" and the "Seven Sons of Jian'an", stating the famous "Jian'an style" in history, and calling him the best in Chinese literature. The "Awakening Age", because from this time onwards people began to realize that literature has its own value and independent status.
The title is called "The Age of Awakening"
"In a national historical and cultural city, Han Lake is known as the "throat of Qin and Ba and the home of plank roads". Among the many historical relics since the Western Han Dynasty, the most famous one is The "treasure of the museum" in the HZ Municipal Museum is the exquisite stone carvings on the thirteen squares, namely the "Shimen Thirteen Products of the Han and Wei Dynasties", which comes from Baohe
"Shuowen Jiezi" by Xu Shen of the Eastern Han Dynasty. : "Han, Yang Ye, and the east is Canglang River." The Han River was originally named Yang Shui. Because the Han tribe of Emperor Yao's eldest son Jianming (characterized by Han) moved here, the "Yang" was changed to "Han".
"The pre-Qin work "The Classic of Mountains and Seas? The Classic of Western Mountains" says: "On the mountain of Panzhong, the Han River flows out, and the southeast flows into the Mian River. "In the Baohe River Valley where Mianshui River merges with the Hanjiang River, the cliffs and huge rocks reveal this long-lasting history. It seems that everything in the past has been revealed."
"History, anchored by the water, is like a river. It's just a rickety boat; it hurts, but the building has long been empty, leaving only the suspicious moss covering the sharp edge of the knife and ax and the two big characters "Gun Xue"
Another article, "Columbus of the East", describes Zhang Qian, the pioneer of the Silk Road, who was envoy to the Western Regions during the Western Han Dynasty, and discussed the opening up of ancient China to the outside world, "the world is unified and all nations are in harmony"...
There is also an article called "Night Rain on Bashan". I was passing by the foot of Bashan, and I remembered Li Shangyin's famous Qijue "Night Rain Sends to the North" "You asked about the return date but it has not been scheduled, and the night rain on Bashan swelled the autumn pond. Why should we cut the candles from the west window together? "When it rains at night in Bashan" talks about "homesickness" as an eternal theme for Chinese literati...
Of course, there is also the trip to Wumenyan to fulfill the words of the old man named Yang.
Yu Qiuyu has a prose "Dujiangyan" that you can learn from. The name of the prose is "From Dujiangyan to Wumenyan".
“People like Li Bing and Tang Lefang should find a quiet place to commemorate them. Building an Erwang Temple and a Tang Gong Temple is also in line with the people’s wishes.
"Those who truly benefit the people will be promoted to gods, and the world of gods will become reasonable, amiable and amiable. Chinese religion has a secular flavor, so secular relationships will also be stained with religious flecks. Once they come and go, Dujiangyan , Meridian Weir turned into a bridge connecting the two realms."
Fang Minghua wrote four articles in one breath.
