Li Qingjiang is truly a man of culture. With a certain cultural background, the effect of analogy can also make him understand unfamiliar words one step faster than others.
Xu Boan asked: "Oh? Where did you see it? Can you understand the principles in the book?"
I saw Li Qingjiang frowning slightly and said: "Speaking of Grandpa Hui Shan Shen, I'm sorry for my stupidity. For the books you gave me, I have only studied this one, "The Art of War" by Sun Tzu, and I have read it no less than ten times, but There are some immortal texts among them, which are still a bit elusive for ordinary people."
As Li Qingjiang spoke, he picked up the book and opened the contents inside, and continued: "Xiaomin once studied in the school of Qingmu Mansion. At that time, he studied under a great Confucian and learned some ancient texts. With you, Grandpa Mountain God, The fairy tales in the books given to me have similar meanings, so the villain can make some vague guesses, and then ponder the meaning of the book. "
"Texts from ancient times? What are they?" Xu Bo'an asked curiously.
Li Qingjiang explained: "Those words appeared on some ancient scrolls and calligraphy books. It is said that they are cultural inheritance left by powerful people who existed in the world a long time ago. Many dignitaries love to collect these calligraphy and paintings. The most famous The king of Chu, Lingyun, was originally a scholar. It is said that he was the first person to study ancient characters. He studied the meanings and annotations of many characters. "
King Lingyun of Chu?
Xu Bo'an suddenly remembered that the painting "The Elegant Collection of Xishan" by Tang Yin that Chu Feiyun, a descendant of the Chu royal family, had given to him, had annotations by Chu King Lingyun on it!
The content of the annotation was "Tang Yin Calligraphy Treasure of the Homeland". Because of this annotation, Xu Boyan guessed at that time that this Chu King Lingyun was likely to be like himself, a person from the past of his own plane!
In this way, the writings from ancient times that Li Qingjiang mentioned are those writings from ancient China!
Xu Bo'an asked: "So, you are saying that the words in this book are somewhat similar to the words you know from ancient times!"
Li Qingjiang nodded and said: "That's right, but the words in the book you gave me, Grandpa Mountain God, are more exquisite than those written in ancient times. Although those ancient words are more square and beautiful, they have a lot of strokes. , it is very cumbersome to write,
Grandpa Mountain God, these words in your fairy world appear to be much more refined. If you didn't have an extremely strong knowledge and culture reserve, it would be difficult to create such exquisite words. ”
Xu Bo'an smiled, that's natural. Simplified Chinese characters were originally simplified to avoid the complexity of traditional Chinese characters.
Xu Boan did not continue the topic, but asked: "So, you can basically recognize the text in this "The Art of War"!"
Li Qingjiang answered carefully: "Most people can't understand the previous content. Only from here can I understand the general idea. The content is very exciting, but the 1, 2, 3... in the circles marked below I can’t understand the content again.”
The Arabic numerals 1, 2, and 3 were taught to Li Qingjiang personally by Xu Boan, so it was normal for him to know them.
Li Qingjiang turned the pages of the book while talking. Xu Boyan looked at what Li Qingjiang said and found that what Li Qingjiang said he didn't understand was the preface pages at the front of the book, and the annotations under the text at the back. They are all in vernacular. Even if Li Qingjiang is extremely talented in learning, if he, an ancient person, could understand all these vernacular, what would be the point? Unless he starts learning pinyin slowly from first grade.
Although the main text is in classical Chinese, many characters are very different from ancient characters. Li Qingjiang can understand the general idea quite well.
Xu Boan immediately said to Li Qingjiang: "According to your understanding, you can tell me how to make the content exciting?"
After studying the art of war books for a period of time, Li Qingjiang found the art of war books very interesting and became obsessed with this series of books. He said without hesitation: "Then I will speak boldly. If there is anything wrong, I hope Grandpa Shan Shen can give me some advice!”
Xu Boan said: "Just say it!"
Li Qingjiang began to talk eloquently and said: "I don't understand the strategies recorded in this military book very well, but it uses various means to comprehensively analyze and compare the political, economic, military and other factors of both the enemy and us. To determine the possibility of winning or losing the war, this idea surprised the villain
It turns out that fighting a war is not simply about relying on strength and conducting sneak attacks. There are also many unheard of strategies that can be used in combination with actual situations.
Xiaomin believes that the most exciting part of it is that it advocates that "soldiers are crafty", emphasizing the danger of tactics and asking us to respond flexibly and use wisdom to win. Also, know yourself and your enemy, and you can fight a hundred battles without danger..."
Li Qingjiang spoke passionately, and Xu Bo'an listened patiently. After Li Qingjiang finished speaking about his opinions on the book, he said: "Grandpa Shan Shen, this is Xiaomin's understanding of this book. The 'Xianjia text' is in Xiaoxiao's opinion." It is obscure and difficult for people to understand. Although people have made bold guesses, there are a small number of words that people cannot identify even after racking their brains, let alone their meanings. So they understand it according to their guesses, but they just can’t Know whether your understanding is accurate! ”
Hearing that Li Qingjiang could understand the content of "Sun Tzu's Art of War" to such an extent, Xu Bo'an couldn't help but marvel. He also understood that Li Qingjiang's ability to read the word "Sun" in "Sun Tzu's Art of War" correctly was completely based on the use of ancient and modern characters. The form of contrast method.
Good guy, this guy Li Qingjiang is really talented in reading. Is it really just bad luck that fails him after repeated attempts at his level? Xu Bo'an is now a little suspicious of whether there is something fishy in this?
Although the pronunciation of some words pronounced by Li Qingjiang is wrong, it is like the "gui" in "guilty road" is pronounced as "danger", and there are several misspelled pronunciations of the words, so that "guilty road" is understood as Although the tactics are dangerous, the general meaning is understood quite well. Anyway, Xu Boan is ashamed of himself.
Xu Bo'an praised with satisfaction: "Li Qingjiang, you are very powerful. It is very rare that you can understand these unfamiliar words in this book to this extent." Li Qingjiang heard the mountain god grandpa praising him, That means it is correct to read the immortal texts according to your own thinking mode and understanding. He said: "Thank you, Grandpa Mountain God, for the compliment! I am so ashamed of myself!"
Xu Bo'an said: "Okay, don't be modest. Tell me what words you don't know in the text. I'm not too busy today. If you have any questions, just ask and I'll answer them for you."< br>
For a book, the main body of the book is the most important content. If you can understand the main body of the book thoroughly, it won't have much impact if you don't read the preface.
Furthermore, it would really be too difficult for Xu Boan to teach Li Qingjiang the preface. The preface is very different from the main text. Most of the main text is ancient Chinese, and listening to Li Qingjiang’s understanding of the book just now , Xu Boan knew that as far as the main text was concerned, with Li Qingjiang’s hard study, the words he didn’t recognize were also solved. There are not many left. It should be relatively simple and quick to teach. The preface is all in vernacular. Not to mention that Xu Boan doesn’t have that much patience. Even if he has enough heart, if he really teaches it word for word. If you get up, you have to teach him until the year of the monkey and the month of the horse, so Xu Boan said to Li Qingjiang that he could ask him for advice on the text.
Li Qingjiang was very surprised when he heard that Grandpa Mountain God was actually willing to personally grant him knowledge. He had a strong thirst for knowledge and was very happy. He said excitedly: "Grandpa Mountain God, you are really kind-hearted. I am already grateful that you can give me books." , you are willing to teach me personally, thank you so much, Grandpa Shanshen! Then Qingjiang asked boldly. ”
As he spoke, Li Qingjiang excitedly picked up the book "Sun Tzu's Art of War" on the table and opened it. Suddenly he thought that what Grandpa Mountain God was talking about was the main text. Li Qingjiang asked with a little doubt: "Grandpa Mountain God, what did you say?" The text is the middle part, right?”
Xu Bo'an said: "Yes, after all, that is the essence of the book. As for other immortal texts, wait until you fully understand the main text, then think about it in detail yourself!"
This time Li Qingjiang was able to point out the main text accurately, and Xu Bo'an was no longer so curious. After all, everyone can understand the general idea of the entire book so accurately. Of course, these simple basic knowledge cannot be difficult for Li Qingjiang, a scholar.
Li Qingjiang then pointed to the place in the book where he was confused and asked: "Grandpa Mountain God, look at this word, I am a little confused."
Xu Bo'an looked at where Li Qingjiang was pointing. It was exactly what he thought was one of the most essential parts of the book that Li Qingjiang just explained, which was the sentence "Soldiers are deceitful."
Xu Bo'an saw that Li Qingjiang had specially marked the word "strange" in the book. When Li Qingjiang was describing it just now, Xu Bo'an clearly heard that he read the word "strange" as "danger", explaining that Sometimes it is also interpreted as meaning dangerous. Although I added my own opinions in the following sentences, it returns to the correct thinking in terms of understanding. However, if these two words are mixed, there is still a big difference in understanding. .
According to my comparison method, it reads "danger", but when I explain it, it seems that something is not quite right. Everyone knows the dangers on the battlefield. According to the following meaning, it should mean a variety of things, and it should not just refer to danger. I think it may not be the word I understand! Do you think so? ”
After hearing what Li Qingjiang said, Xu Bo'an couldn't help but give him a thumbs up in his heart. Even Xu Bo'an felt ashamed and admired Li Qingjiang's learning and thinking abilities. He was definitely a top student.
After reading a book a hundred times, the meaning is revealed. Xu Bo'an knew that Li Qingjiang must have read the book many times before he had such an understanding. He couldn't help but sigh that the top students not only have good brains, but also study hard.
Xu Boan said: "The word you said means "guilty", not "danger", it means "strategy".
Li Qingjiang was very happy when he heard the words of Grandpa Mountain God and said: "Yes, let me just say, I always feel that something is wrong. When you mentioned it, I suddenly felt enlightened. Grandpa Mountain God is still great." Then he lowered his head and held a pen on it. Start drawing and taking notes.
When Xu Bo'an heard Li Qingjiang's words, he thought to himself that this meant that he and Li Qingjiang lived in different eras. If they were from the same era, and Li Qingjiang was a top student, why wouldn't he go to a double first-class university in modern times? You have to give him guidance yourself.
Then Li Qingjiang continued to ask Xu Bo'an some words he didn't know, and Xu Bo'an patiently answered them one by one.
Li Qingjiang then gave up and stood up, knelt on the ground and said gratefully: "Thank you very much, Grandpa Mountain God. You are the only one who can answer my questions and resolve my doubts about this immortal text. Otherwise, I wouldn't trouble you so much. I will carefully read the books you gave me, Grandpa Mountain God, understand the truth, and then do my best to serve Grandpa Mountain God.”
Li Qingjiang had long wanted to ask Grandpa Shan Shen about something he didn't understand in the book, but he was afraid of disturbing Grandpa Shan Shen, so he kept reading it over and over again to try his best to understand the meaning of the article. Today Grandpa Shan Shen actually offered to ask for help for himself. He was very grateful for answering questions and clearing up doubts.
In fact, what Li Qingjiang asked before and after was just some ancient and modern characters with large differences in writing methods.
The reason why Xu Bo'an offered to answer Li Qingjiang's questions was because he had thought that Li Qingjiang was very talented in reading. Today, he was able to read the many revised books he had given him, and he was so proficient in it. There are just some unknown words in it, plus Hearing that Li Qingjiang had such insights into the art of war, Xu Bo'an felt that Li Qingjiang was really a rare talent, so he personally offered to answer his questions. If it were someone else who didn't have this talent, Xu Bo'an would Teaching for half a day is a waste of time.
When Xu Bo'an heard Li Qingjiang's words, he nodded with satisfaction and said: "I think you have extraordinary talent in reading. Read it well. Read it a hundred times, and the righteousness will appear by itself. As long as you read more, it will naturally come true." I understand the meaning, but if you encounter something you don’t understand in the future, you can still ask the mountain god for advice.”
Li Qingjiang, who had failed in many trials, heard the mountain god's affirmation, and his eyes shone with hope.
Then he suddenly knelt on the ground and bowed down with tears of gratitude. He kept saying thank you to Grandpa Mountain God. Xu Boan was muttering something that he couldn't hear clearly. His posture gave him a feeling of seeing Fan Jin pass the exam.
When Xu Bo'an saw Li Qingjiang's posture, he realized after careful analysis that he was out of his mind. It seemed that the story of "Fan Jin passed the national examination" was not purely fabricated!
Xu Bo'an immediately reached out his hand and slapped Li Qingjiang on the face. Only then did Li Qingjiang recover from his excitement. (End of chapter)
