Chapter 285 The Founders
It seems that big stars are also experienced in how to hide themselves, so there will be no problem, so they went out together and came downstairs until Zhou Zhi asked: "Sister Chi, Liu Director, tell me, what’s going on?”
“You are so clever!” Chi Xueli He smiled and said, "Let me tell you first, this is not a favor, and I won't be happy with it! It's the task of the hall and the stage. I want to invite Master Zuzu, Master, and Master to attend this Lantern Festival party. There will be people during the banquet. A simple interview.”
Zhou Zhi understood now that he had probably invited a few people before, but they all declined.
Then for some reason the higher-ups seemed to attach importance to these few people, so they found people related to them to come and do the work.
It's normal to think about it again. Nowadays, the slogan put forward by the great man back then, "No matter how poor we are, we cannot afford education; no matter how miserable we are, we cannot afford to suffer for our children." has become popular again.
As the top educational and academic family in Sichuan, it is completely understandable that the relevant parties hope that they will come out, stand at the party, and say a few words of affirmation and inspiration for their work.
"Actually, we have to think about this matter in a different way." Zhou Zhi thought about it briefly, without hurting the two of them: "What is the most important thing for Grandmaster and Grandmaster? Knowledge. They don't The reason why they are willing to go to the party to record the interview is that they think it will delay their studies, right?"
Both Chi Xueli and Director Liu couldn't help but nod.
“So it’s easy to solve this problem. Just tell them that attending the party is beneficial to their knowledge, and they will not refuse.”
"That's what you said." Deputy Director Liu thought that Zhou Zhi was a little bit wrong - in Shudu dialect, it is called "losing the rat", which means being irresponsible in speaking and doing things - so he said: "But what can we do to make the interview more interesting?" Isn’t this beneficial to learning? Is it getting harder to make things harder?"
"Do many people understand the subject of rhyme?" Zhou Zhi was a little confused about Lao Liu and Chi Xueli's ideas: "Isn't this a good promotion? Opportunity? ”
Chi Xueli and Lao Liu were even more confused about Zhou Zhi's thinking: "If you say a few words at the Lantern Festival party, does it count as promotion?"
Chi Xueli was even more angry: "Don't hurt people with your elbows. Let’s take this as a joke, okay? What course is the first choice for our Chinese Department?”
“Eh? Sister Chi, what textbooks are you using? Mr. Tang Zuofan’s "Phonology Tutorial" and "Ancient Phonetic Handbook" ”
"Common Sense of Chinese Phonology"! Chi Xueli became even more angry.
Speaking of this knowledge, the line of inheritance in modern times is actually very clear, and it can be roughly divided into "Family School" and "Guoxue School".
A few of them cannot be avoided.
The first way is Dai Zhen of the Qianjia School and his great disciple Duan Yucai. Duan Yucai passed it on to Wang Niansun and Wang Niansun. In summary, Gu Shaoxian was mainly influenced by this sect, followed by several generations of descendants of the Gu family.
In the beginning, this journey was basically private and homeschooling.
The second path was Zhang Taiyan and his great disciple Huang Kan. Huang Kan advocated "refinement in academic affairs" and "rigor in macroeconomics". His studies on writing, pronunciation, rhyme, and exegesis date back to the Han and Tang dynasties, and more recently to the Qian and Jiaqing dynasties.
This journey can be regarded as a combination of family education and Chinese studies. Huang Kan was born in a well-known family in Chengdu. His father was the prefect of Chengdu. He was raised strictly since childhood. However, he went to promote the revolution and was expelled from school. Later, he met Zhang Taiyan when he went to Japan to study. . The third path is Wang Li, this is the Pure Chinese Studies School. When he was young, he was admitted to the Institute of Chinese Studies at Tsinghua University and studied under Zhao Yuanren. At that time, there were four major tutors in Tsinghua University: Wang Guowei, Liang Qichao, Zhao Yuanren, and Chen Yinke. Wang Guowei praised and encouraged him and asked him to study linguistics with Zhao Yuanren, the "father of Chinese linguistics." After graduating from the Chinese Academy of Sciences, he accepted Zhao Yuanren's suggestion and went to Paris, the center of world linguistics at that time. Later, he received a doctorate in French literature with his thesis "Experimental Records of Bobai Dialects".
As for the college textbooks that Zhou Zhi just mentioned are now used in most liberal arts schools, the compiler, Tang Zuofan, was Wang Li's capable disciple.
This is a very interesting thing. Speaking of which, these people are the founders and masters of Chinese studies of modern Chinese language, literature, and phonological exegesis. And it seems that because there are only these few people at the top of the pyramid , so they are very familiar with each other.
For example, Gu Shaoxian was recommended by Huang Kan to teach language and literature at the Central University; Wang Li also came to Sichuan when the school was moved inland due to the war to establish the Southwest Associated University, and met Gu Shaoxian. He once talked with him for a long time while climbing out of the car window. , earnestly warned him that he was a rare talent and asked him to make more contributions to language science.
The students of that generation sharpened their knowledge and appreciated each other for a common goal - modern Chinese linguistics. The majestic mountains of modern language science.
As for the three books that Zhou Zhi and Chi Xueli just discussed, in Zhou Zhi’s eyes, they are clear and logical, and they can basically be understood at a glance, and can basically only be regarded as "entry-level" and "popular science level" Regarding the content, I have never thought about how difficult this course is in the eyes of others.
Because of this, Chi Xueli felt very hurt, and Zhou Zhi told her that it was nothing. As long as you read "Shuowen Jiezi" four times, the course would be basically difficult. After failing to defeat you, Chi Xueli felt even more hurt.
You are obviously so smart, how dare you work harder than me? !
Chi Xueli was used to being crushed in terms of IQ and EQ by this stinky eighteen-year-old brother, so she simply asked directly: "Stop talking so much, let me ask you, do you think that kind of promotion will be effective? How many people will because of that?" With just a few words from Master Zuzu, you responded to the call and devoted yourself to such boring knowledge?”
There is nothing wrong with this, because everyone knows Goldbach’s conjecture by the great mathematician Chen Jingrun.
If Goldbach's conjecture is known as the "jewel in the crown of mathematics", then the pearl of Chinese linguistics is undoubtedly the hermeneutics of words.
Because it is the most basic basis for all Chinese language expressions and applications.
The word "fire", where does it come from, why should it be written like this, why should it be read like this, how it was written before, how it was read before, how it was written step by step like it is now, how it is read step by step like it is now. It looks like this...
What was the original meaning of this word, what meanings did it derive later, why did it derive these meanings, how did it become a radical later, and what words did it develop...
This word, in Chinese grammar How many parts of speech are there, how are they used in this way, and what historical materials record these uses...
It is so vast that there are many interesting contents, but there are also many contents that are quite boring.
Phonetics, one of the important contents of exegesis, is undoubtedly the most boring one.
Just as it is impossible for the general public to become interested in mathematics because of a few words from a great mathematician, it is also impossible for them to regard many Chinese students as fearful of the phonology because of a few words from Gu Youwen. Students become interested.
