Chapter 126 Request for Words
Zhou Zhi then told the situation of his godfather, godmother and Master Qiao. When talking about his own situation, Chi Xueli was finally able to help, saying that Zhou Zhi’s historical essays had been published He has been in "People's Literature".
I heard that Zhou Zhi had written a poem behind the article. Gu Zhenduo asked Zhou Zhi to write it and read it, and then gave it to Gu Youwen.
Gu Youwen looked at it and said: "The chin couplet has become unconventional, and the tail couplet has not been renovated, which is a pity."
"Yes, Sister Chi is to blame for this." It seems from the paper If the two elders are satisfied, Zhou Zhi no longer trembles. Jing, began to regain a bit of naughtiness and ease, and threw the pot out with a swish: "I didn't even have time to think about this poem, so I gave it to her the next day. Sister Chi didn't ask for my permission when submitting it. Otherwise it wouldn’t be like this.”
"Damn elbow!" Chi Xueli's face suddenly turned red: "I helped you get out of trouble?!"
The two elders couldn't help but laugh, Gu Youwen said with a smile: "But the first couplet is indeed very beautiful. "
"Zhou Zhi, please put this paper here. We will give you our opinions after reading it." Gu Zhenduo said: "How do you plan to publish this paper?"
"That's me. think Let Grandpa Shi and Zuzu see if this matter is valuable and whether the research direction is correct." Zhou Zhi didn't dare to think too much in front of the two of them: "As for publishing, I didn't dare to think about it before."
"To be honest with your level, many of my students are..." Gu Zhenduo shook his head, but finally did not say it out: "In the end, those who know are not as good as those who are good, and those who are good are not as good as those who enjoy..."< br>
"How is your academic performance? Xue Li said that you are only a sophomore in high school, so you still have to pass the college entrance examination." Gu Youwen asked: "Do you have any ideas about the future?"
Zhou Zhi didn't dare Looking at the two old men, they were so nervous that they only stared at their own papers: "I want...if possible...to study under the two elders."
"This course Learning can be very lonely, very lonely." Gu Youwen didn't say it was impossible: "It's common to be on the bench for a lifetime."
"My father did a lot of research during his lifetime, including "Guangyun Shuzheng". More than four million words, but not published, Zhou Zhi, do you know why?”
“Please give me some advice”
"His research on medieval phonology was divided into two stages. In the decades before the founding of the People's Republic of China, it was the collation stage. It was not until after the founding of the People's Republic of China that he found that there were too many discoveries in editing "Guangyun", and the collation alone could no longer reflect his own After understanding "Guangyun", I decided to rewrite it and followed Mr. Huang Kan's suggestion. When he wrote "Guangyun Shuzheng", he entered the stage of "sparing the evidence"
"The reason why it was not published was because the more he researched, the more he became afraid, and new discoveries continued to overturn the conclusions he thought were correct before. "
"So he never talks lightly about things. The opinions of the older generation are not mature enough, and immature opinions should not be expressed easily. If acted rashly, it will definitely hinder future learning and cause adverse effects.”
The older generation of scholars are cautious and rigorous, and do not seek fame and fortune. His character made Zhou Zhi stand in awe: "That's why I want to follow Master Gaozu's legacy."
“There is no shortcut on this road.” Gu Youwen said: “Neither Bingwen nor I have a bachelor’s degree. Even if you are admitted to Shu University, you have to start with a bachelor’s degree in Chinese language and literature. At most, Huanzhang will take you. It will be six years before he officially joins our school.”
"If I can take care of my studies at the same time," Zhou Zhi was still trying to get lucky: "Can I come and help my grandfather and my ancestors organize the legacy of their great ancestors? I would be happy to be a lackey of the Ivy Sect."
< br>"My father I cannot afford to be so praised by you, my child, so you should not belittle yourself." Gu Youwen said, "Let's just take things step by step."
Zhou Zhi lowered his head unconsciously, feeling very disappointed even though he was the second born. and grievance.
Trying to hold back the tears that were about to fall: "Then I will listen to Master Zuzu, but please, Master Zuzu, please also give me a cousin."
"Good boy." Gu Youwen nodded slightly: "What do you think of the word Dawen?"
Zhou Zhi was overjoyed when he heard this, and raised his head, his eyes filled with hope again: "Thank you, Master Zuzu, this is a good calligraphy, thank you Master Zuzu."
Gu Youwen also smiled: "You are really a good boy. "
Han Daozhao of the Jin Dynasty, the author of "Five Tones Collection of Rhymes", once had a famous discussion: "Qie Yun It is based on four tones, combined with two tones, and the overlapping rhyme makes the article beautiful, but the rhyme and tone are not as clear as the ancients, so they will settle on the five tones."
He commented on the book "Five Tones Collection of Rhymes" that "there is an ancient example of inverting the sound keys", but at the same time he also pointed out that "there is still a gap compared to other ignorant and arrogant authors."
It means that although this editor used the method of inverting the words and buttons when compiling the book, which was quite unusual, he was at least an expert.
Compared with those who don't understand and write randomly, they still go a long way.
Zhou Zhi has not read this book, but Han Daozhao’s discussion on rhyme is a classic quotation in rhyme theory. It cannot be bypassed in any book, but Zhou Zhi also knows it.
Gu Youwen chose the word "Dawen" in this discussion as a word for Zhou Zhi, which not only encouraged him, but also hinted to him that the door is always open, but he only needs Zhou Zhi himself. Walk through the door step by step.
Obviously, Zhou Zhi has understood this meaning, which makes Gu Youwen very pleased.
The time and energy of great scholars are very valuable, so Zhou Zhi and Chi Xueli did not dare to disturb the two great scholars after leaving their papers behind, so they left.
"Father, you are a young talent, why don't you accept him and raise him?" Gu Zhenduo asked Gu Youwen when he came back after seeing the two off.
He had already thought of accepting a disciple, but he didn't expect his old father to be so cautious.
Gu Youwen sighed: "The difficulty lies in the embarrassment... He is indeed a young talent..." "Father, what does this mean?"
"Young man Talented people have an unlimited future. Will this child’s future be on a cold bench in the abbot’s study room for decades? ”
"This..."
"Although I haven't read the research part of this paper yet, just from this child's field investigation report, it is enough to get a glimpse of its value. Among the Chinese undergraduates led by Huan Zhang, ah No, even among the students you teach, How many people can make such a solid thing? "
"Although it is the first to get the advantage of being close to the water, the dialect has a natural advantage, but there are so many people in Jiachuan, who would have thought of doing this? ? Who has seen the language he usually uses? Value? "
"You also heard from Xue Li that this kid's three articles were published in provincial publications twice and once in national publications. You can roughly tell from the conversation with him. His ancient Chinese literacy and level."
< br>"Such a child will inevitably encounter temptations from all sides and face various temptations in the future. Six years later, it is really unclear whether he will maintain his current interests, current ideas, and current direction. That’s easy to say..."
"Besides, even if the child does not choose to take this path in the end, it is a pity for us as a family; but for the child himself, it may not be a wise choice..."
Gu Zhenduo couldn't help but be silent. , and finally sighed: "Then Let’s wait until he gets admitted to Shu University.”
“Hehehehe… Bingwen, you’re in trouble.” Gu Youwen shook his head: “Shu University is only ranked seventh among universities in the country. Why do you think people will only choose Shu University?”
"Read the paper and see what his level is. If his level is good enough, prepare some books for him according to his level... Well, doesn't this child like poetry? Go and read your grandfather's "Mao Poetry Rhyme Examples" , ah, and the "Notes on the Collection of Classical Interpretations" Find it out and give it to him the next time he comes."
Gu Zhenduo said in surprise: "Yunjing", "Tongzhi Qiyinlue", "Qieyun Zhizhangtu", "Four Tones". Are there not enough review papers for these books? ”
"I just took a look at the research part at the back. I'm afraid what you said is really not enough." Gu Youwen thought for a while: "But... I can give it to him together."
"Yes." Gu Zhenduo Now I know that my father's refusal to let Zhou Zhi sit on the doorstep is not only not a shirk, but also an endorsement and expectation. Thinking about what my father just said, I can't help but feel worried.
Is it still possible in this day and age for a genius to sit on the bench for decades?
……
……
After getting in the car, Zhou Zhi was obviously in a low mood.
Chi Xueli, who was driving, just heard the conversation between Zhou Zhi and the two elders behind them, and it was so foggy that even if he wanted to comfort him, he didn't know where to start.
"Is your elbow okay?"
"Ah, it's okay." Zhou Zhi then regained his composure: "Sister Chi, I'm sorry to trouble you today."
" What’s the trouble? I’ve also taken advantage of you.” Chi Xueli said, “Is it easy for you to see this as a master?”
After saying that, he felt a little jealous: "Isn't your godfather very powerful? It's extraordinary to have a disciple with the first cousin of your master."
"My godfather and my mother are my idols." Zhou Zhi will do it Dad told Chi Xueli some things: "If a person has no worries about food and clothing, he can earn a lot of money." It is natural to collect some cultural heritage and do research based on my hobbies, just like me now.”
“But I am already exhausted from working for a few work points all day long, and I don’t know myself. Whether there will be a turn for the better in the future is still in the field When I was resting in the field, I never forgot to ask the fellow villagers who worked together to sort out folk songs, customs, and folklore... I still can’t figure out what supported him to do that.”
“Anyway? If it were me, I would never be able to do it. Therefore, Confucius loved Yan the most. It’s not without his reasons.”
“People can’t bear the worries, but they won’t change their joy after returning.” Chi Xueli also nodded in agreement: “It sounds easy to say, but it can be replaced by you. It’s really not easy to think about my godfather’s situation.”
"But you are also very good at elbows. The nickname given by your master is Dawen." Chi Xueli added: "If my classmates knew about it, they would be jealous to death."
"Then It's my master who encourages me, and choosing a relative to become a disciple is two different things." Zhou Zhi shook his head with a wry smile.
"But he didn't reject you either." Chi Xueli encouraged Zhou Zhi: "The two elders' attitude towards you is different from mine, haven't you noticed?"
Zhou Zhi laughed unconsciously. , I’m afraid my sister doesn’t even know the origin of my cousin’s name, so how dare she dare to have an attitude with the second elder?
Shaked his head: "I have decided that I will enter Shu University and major in archeology and Chinese literature! At worst, I will be a student of Professor Kailai first. I don't believe it. In the end, I still won't be recognized by the two elders!"< br>
"Well, come on, elbow!" Chi Xueli happily patted Zhou Zhi on the head: "I hope that in two years, I can call you my junior brother!"
