Chapter 978 Beginning
The study life in the first year of college is easy and free. For example, there is almost no such thing as homework. The person who teaches "Ancient Literature" is an old man. Today's lectures are about three parts. The oldest existing literary work in China.
The first chapter is called "Tan Ge", with a total of eight characters: broken bamboo, renewed bamboo; flying earth, chasing the corpse.
The second chapter is called "Yongge", which also has eight characters: hand, dance. Foot it, dance it.
The third article is called "Song of Attacking the Soil". This article has a little more words: I write when the sun rises, and I breathe when the sun sets. Digging wells to drink, plowing fields to eat. What does imperial power mean to me?
In this way, the old man spent two classes. First he recited, then asked everyone to recite together, then called on the classmates to recite, and then began to explain slowly.
In fact, the three articles together don’t add up to much, at least there is nothing to explain to freshmen, namely "Feitu" and "Zhushi", respectively Danfei Niwan and It means chasing prey.
For freshman courses, three articles can be finished in ten minutes.
But if it is further refined, two lessons may not be enough.
For example, the word "flying soil" indicates the age of the poem's formation. Breaking bamboo and resuming bamboo shows that the production of bows has formed a technological process. Since there are intermittent movements, it means that the bow is already relatively powerful. Not to mention the compound bow he carried, the word "flying soil" indicates that clay balls were used instead of arrows, indicating that arrows were still relatively difficult to make at that time and were not often used when hunting small prey.
The word "卍" is actually a variant of "meat". It can be traced back to oracle bone inscriptions. This word is the shape of a half-moon steak with knife marks on it, which is almost the same as the modern word "月".
The oracle bone inscriptions with the word "moon" are also in the shape of a half-moon, with a short vertical line in the middle to represent the shadow of the moon.
The two words are very close. During the Oracle period, they evolved into the same word, which has a double meaning, meaning both the moon and meat.
If you add a hand next to the word "moon" that represents meat, it means eating meat with your hands, and add "shi" below, which is the sacred position of the ancestors, the word becomes a The ideographic word means the "sacrifice" of sacrifice.
This is also the fundamental reason why many meat-related words in Chinese characters have the word "月" next to them.
However, these are not part of the freshman course. The old man only gave a brief explanation of the era when these three poems appeared and the general creative background, focusing on the last sentence of the third poem.
That sentence is quite anti-oppression and exploitation, and contains the yearning for independence and freedom. The old man also inspired everyone to discuss whether this poem is praising reality or a utopia in literary creation. Hope.
The previous explanation made Zhou Zhi look down upon the old man. After the discussion started in the second half of the second class, Zhou Zhi realized that it was not that the old man was incompetent. There was something in his stomach, but there was nothing right. Just tell everyone.
Yes, this is only a freshman course, not a graduate or doctoral course. The old man can talk about it up to this point.
After all, this class has homework, and the homework is to recite these three poems.
The afternoon course is "College English". This course is even simpler. In fact, it is to find some English materials and string them together into a textbook, including some vocabulary for College English Level 4. The course is taught in the same way as in high school. The text is taught once, and then Get your classmates to get up and read a paragraph.
This time Zhou Zhi was called upon, so he had to put down Master Zeng’s manuscript and stood up to read a paragraph.
The English teacher was startled by his standard Oxford accent and fluent pronunciation. Then he praised Zhou Zhi greatly and refused to let him sit down. He asked him to continue to lead his classmates to complete the following. I read the text again. English is also a big course, and several classes are taken together. Everyone has been tortured by the nine-year compulsory education, and their English proficiency can be understood at a glance.
So on the first day of school, Zhou Zhi also gained some fame in the department. Zhang Qianyi and others were even more convinced. Zhuzi said that he had already obtained the certificate and did not need to take CET-4 or CET-6. Sure enough, It's true.
There is no homework in English class, and the teacher doesn’t worry about it at all.
This bunch of hard-working kids have the hard target of the CET-4 exam, but they can’t get a diploma. They may need to be supervised in other courses. There is no need to worry about English, they will study hard on their own.
Even though the day’s classes ended it was still early, it was only after four o’clock, and it was still two hours before dinner.
Fortunately, college students have plenty of things to do. Zhang Qianyi informed everyone to go to the small classroom to elect class cadres today.
In fact, after the welcome party and military training, everyone has some general impressions of the students with "cadre temperament" in the class. Under such circumstances, choosing class cadres is a very simple matter. Son.
The process is self-recommendation, classmate recommendation, and everyone voting if there are duplicates.
Zhang Qianyi's organizational skills are good and his methods are reasonable. Now he has considerable prestige in the class, and he is expected to be the class leader.
Study committee member Li Yijia recommended Zhou Zhi. After all, his scores were enough to study at Tsinghua University. He was a top student.
Zhou Zhi quickly waved his hand and said that he was in a work-study program. It is not that those who study well can become study committee members, but those who can serve their classmates well in terms of study can become study committee members. From this point of view, if I measure myself He was obviously unqualified, so he recommended Tong Xiaolin to serve as a study committee member.
However, Zhou Zhi also recommended himself for a position as a literary and art committee member. He could hold dances, organize parties, organize movie viewings, and take photos for everyone. He was completely qualified.
Only here did everyone remember that by letting this guy serve as the literary and art committee member, everyone would get far more benefits than if he served as the study committee member. This is a really good idea!
However, there is competition for this position. Li Yijia also wants to be there, and there are many supporters.
Finally, Zhang Qianyi suggested that the literary and art committee should be changed to a cultural and sports committee to be responsible for the literary, artistic and sports affairs of the class, so that two committee members could be placed, one male and one female.
Zhou Zhi can sing, Li Yijia can dance; Zhou Zhi can make electrical appliances, and Li Yijia can host. It is a perfect combination and everyone unanimously approved it.
Finally, after some discussion, Tong Xiaolin served as the study committee member; Wu Guiye, the league secretary; Qi Xinyan, the publicity committee member; Xu Gang, who must be able to run and work as a coolie, served as the life committee member; representatives of each subject also accepted Zhou Zhi also lost an English subject representative because of his performance in today's English class.
After finishing the work, everyone dispersed like birds and beasts. Most of the boys went to play basketball and football, Zhang Qianyi went to the student union to inquire about connections, Tong Xiaolin and Li Yijia went to the dance club, Zhao Xing went to the City God's Temple to purchase goods...each of them had their own busy schedule.
Zhou Zhi continued to study by himself in the classroom and proofread Master Zeng's manuscripts.
After dinner, Zhou Zhi went back to his dormitory and took the supermarket management system design plan with him to the computing center.
Everything on the plane was explained to the students. In fact, Zhou Zhi came here today because there was a meeting to be held.
