Chapter 284 Proficient
“Really?” Zhou Zhi’s heart was pounding: “Thank you, Master, Master!”
Gu Youwen’s white beard was shaking: “This is God’s will, can you Memorizing "Shuowen Jiezi" proficiently is not only a talent for ancient literature, but also You also need to have water grinding skills. Dawen, do you know who was the last person to use this method to enter the art of writing?”
“I don’t know, Master Zuzu, who is it?”
“That is your great-great-grandfather, my father.”
"Really?!" Not only Zhou Zhi, Chi Xueli, and his godfather were greatly surprised, but even Gu Zhenduo looked surprised: "Is there such a thing?"
"Your great-grandfather joined the anti-Qing Dynasty in his early years. Daye was imprisoned and only had a copy of "Shuowen Jiezi" in his hand. "To relieve my boredom, I became interested in the study of text exegesis and began to study it. Later, I studied under Mr. Huang Kan, a master of exegesis at that time, and eventually became a generation of scholars. Everyone knows this, right?"
All Everyone except Jiang Shuyi nodded.
Gu Youwen said: "But what many people don't know is how my father won Mr. Huang's favor."
"My great-grandfather also read it by adding sentences to "Shuowen Jiezi"? ”
"After my father was released from prison, he went to see Mr. Huang Kan and planned to include it on the door wall." Gu Youwen said: "Mr. Huang gave him a copy of "Shuowen Jiezi" and asked him to go back and add sentences to read."
“Father spent half I read it through and barely understood the sentences. Then I went to see Mr. Huang and presented the book respectfully. However, Mr. Huang only read a few pages and threw the book into the trash can. "
" Huh?" Everyone was dumbfounded.
"I saw Mr. Huang took out a new "Shuowen Jiezi" and said to his father: 'The sentence you just marked has a lot of smeared readings. It is really impossible to read it at all. Please mark it again. '"
"My father spent another three months re-marking the new book, and then went to Mr. Huang again. This time, Mr. Duan flipped through it and threw it into the trash can. It was a little better last time, but there were still a lot of fallacies.”
"So I took out a new book and gave it to my father, and asked him to go back and mark it again."
"My father spent another two months marking it clearly and went to see Mr. Duan again. As a result, Mr. Huang This time, I didn't even bother to turn it over, so I took it and threw it into the trash can."
"Is this too much?" Everyone was a little confused, and Zhou Zhi couldn't help but blurt out his grievances for Master Zeng. .
“This reading is the most serious my father has ever done. Now that his hard work has been thrown into the trash can for the third time, even the clay figurine is getting angry. He was about to get angry when he heard Mr. Huang laughing. , said: 'Now that I can already memorize , Why do you need it? '"
"Ah? Hahahaha..." Zhou Zhi did not expect this, and he couldn't help but be amused: "This great master, Mr. Huang, is... So naughty! ”
"But it was this hard work that made my father's academic career possible," Gu Youwen said.
This is indeed the case. The evaluation of Gu Shaoxian by the academic circles is that he "studies diligently and learns well. He is familiar with the Thirteen Classics, "Shuowen" and "Guangyun" to an astonishing degree."
It can be said that Huang Kan asked Gu Shaoxian to read "Shuowen" three times, which was the key to guiding Gu Shaoxian to open the academic door.
Gu Youwen continued: "Last year Dawen said he wanted to study with us, but we refused at that time. Firstly, 'private learning' is no longer advocated. We are all teachers who receive salary and subsidies. Naturally, we should serve the country and cultivate talents for the country. "
"My knowledge really needs to be practiced calmly. I am very worried that Dawen will not be able to calm down."
Gu Zhenduo said: "Dawen is a good boy. He was not discouraged and took the initiative to reserve knowledge in advance. This is even more surprising than the coincidence that you and your great-grandfather adopted the same entry-level method..." "Not only Are you surprised?" Gu Youwen said with a smile: "The insights I just gave about winter characters have gone beyond the confines of "Shuowen Jiezi" and caught up with Oracle Bone Inscriptions."
"Although I heard it last year. Elbow You mentioned it once, but in this world, there are too many people who dare to think, but there are too few who dare to do it. We didn’t expect that you have really started to do it. ”
Listen to two generations of guilty The professor praised Zhou Zhi like a flower, his godfather and Chi Xueli were filled with deep jealousy, Jiang Shuyi lowered her head and secretly felt proud and happy, and Deputy Director Liu finally understood why Xiaochi and Lao Wu just wanted to wait. I didn’t even bother to go upstairs first.
Two Mr. Gu, you are really biased!
However, before it was over, I heard Gu Youwen say: "So where are the gates and walls? How good are the children's conditions now? The knowledge is here. The key is to see whether you are interested in approaching it and whether you have any ideas. To understand it, do you have the perseverance to study it specifically, and do you have the ability to develop it?”
“Although I haven’t taken the college entrance examination yet, I have just seen Dawen’s interests and ideas. The most important thing is. Perseverance and ability, now only one is left Article, the temptation of materialistic desires. "
"Dawen, I am not against you enjoying life, nor do I ask you to be like us. Young people in the new era naturally have new era pursuits and ways of living."< br>
“I just want to make a small request to you, that is, no matter how you live and study, you should always be a real person and engage in real knowledge.”
Zhou Zhi quickly bowed: "Thank you, Master, for your teachings."
Although Gu Youwen said it modestly, Zhou Zhi was actually listed on the doorstep.
"Then today is worth celebrating." Godfather said: "Zhou Zhi went to move things, and there are two manuscripts to take out. Master and I will also discuss it."
" I have them all here." Jiang Shuyi took out two more manuscripts from his backpack.
"Is the little girl Dawen's classmate or friend?" Gu Youwen asked.
Only then did Zhou Zhi finally have time to introduce to the two professors Gu: "This is my best classmate, Jiang Shuyi. The previous "History of the Song Dynasty" and "Zi Zhi Tong Jian Chang Bian" are related to each other. Shu Yi helped me organize the labels.”
"This time, the content of the Privy Council Leaders of the Two Song Dynasties was also the original data compiled by her, and her contribution was not small, so the paper was jointly signed by us."
"This time she came to the capital of Shu to visit relatives. Yes, when I heard that I was coming to visit Master Zuzu and Grandpa Shi, I specifically asked me to bring her with me. She also admires you very much."
"You are really not idle." Gu Youwen did not expect that Zhou Zhi had written a new paper, and the angle of search was so unique: "Let's take a look at that first."
The godfather had no choice but to give the lecturer's paper to his master first, and then Holding up the "Interesting Stories of Sichuan": "Master, why don't you read this first?"
"Shu Yi and I will go downstairs to move things first."
"I'm going to help too." Deputy Director Liu stood up quickly. He finally understood that the owner of this house didn't understand what it means to treat guests. He simply "followed the guests" and simply used the office director to arrange tasks. Strong point: "Otherwise, Shu Yi and Xue Li went to buy some vegetables and so on. At noon, they only had food at home. Just now, it seemed like No restaurants around here are open."
"Okay, what do you want to buy?"
"Are you going to the vegetable market?"
"No," Chi Xueli took out a mask: "I have this."
