Chapter 1194 Style of Study
"So Master Zeng cited the research of people in the Qing Dynasty and believed that there is another explanation for "Yang" in "Shuowen", called "Yang Bian agrees", so Wan is in the middle of the water.' , this '中' is The modal particle has the same meaning as 'zhi', which means 'wan beside the water', so it is close to the words '水之坻' and '水之沚' below."
"It makes sense. ." Dad nodded: "Your master Zeng's knowledge is really not good. Xiao, you have to absorb the inheritance and try to integrate it as soon as possible."
"Yes." Zhou Zhi accepted it humbly, and then continued: "But for this solution, I learned from Master Zeng's works. I made one' "Additional note", I put forward my own opinion, thinking that there is something wrong with his explanation. "
"?" Dad's eyes widened. I just praised your master Zeng for his rich knowledge, and you said this. I also added a supplementary note, what do you mean?
Zhou Zhi explained: "In Master Zeng's time, the study of oracle bone inscriptions had not yet emerged. Therefore, including "Shuowen Jiezi", many explanations about the origin of characters are actually wrong. I wrote a paper about it before. This direction.”
"Judging from the oracle bone inscriptions, the upper component of '大' is not '冂', but '凵' shape; it clearly highlights the human head, and the whole character looks like a person wearing a shackle on his neck.'
< br>"So Yang, the earliest meaning of disaster, is the original word for disaster. ”
“At the same time, it also means ‘head’ and ‘center’. Switching to "Jian Jia", this 'center' should be the small island that rises abruptly in the water. "
" Combined with the water flow on both sides of the island, does it look like a human head in shackles? So does it just fit the original meaning of the word ‘yang’? ”
"The only way to explain the word 'Yang' is that it is completely consistent with the structure of 'Shui Zhi Di' and 'Shui Zhi Qin' below."
Everyone at the table was silent, although Zhou Zhi mentioned this The purpose of the example is just to show that I have not completely neglected my job this semester and have made considerable academic progress. However, everyone at the table was still silent.
The reason for silence is that Zhou Zhi’s explanation is more reasonable than that of his great master. ‘Yang’, like ‘Di’ and ‘沚’ below, specifically refers to some special terrain in river areas, which is obviously more reasonable. .
But before Zhou Zhi raised this question, no one had ever thought about it.
After Zhou Zhi went through a rigorous logical argument, at least on this table, no one could come up with any arguments to refute.
"So..." Feng Xueshan was a little stupid: "Both the teacher and the textbook taught me wrong?"
"You can't say that." Zhou Zhi smiled and said, "It's like we all know that Einstein invented the theory of relativity. , can be used to explain some physical phenomena that cannot be explained by Newtonian mechanics, but it does not mean that Newtonian mechanics is wrong. It can only be said that Newtonian mechanics is a 'special theory of relativity' under special conditions."
"As a popular ancient classic literature As for teaching, it is enough for us to understand "Wan in the middle of the water" according to this article. What I just said is in our professional research field, and everyone should listen to it for fun."
“This "Look, the elbow major is quite interesting!" Although Feng Xueshan did not study the Book of Songs, she was deeply influenced by Aunt Qiong Yao. Aunt Qiong Yao had a novel called "On the Water Side", so she was very familiar with this poem. It is said that the back is like flowing.
Reciting it by heart and understanding it thoroughly are two different concepts. Zhou Zhi refreshed her understanding of this poem today. She picked up the wine glass and said with a smile: "I have to pay tribute to Mr. Xiao Zhou. You don't have to worry now." Didn’t you learn anything at school?”
My mother's attitude towards Zhou Zhi has always been the same as Mrs. Hua's attitude towards Tang Bohu - I can't let him see that I appreciate him, but I still say: "I won't know until the scholarship is over, and it's not over yet."
" If you do this in "Mao's Poetry Rhymes", what will Mr. Gu say?" Dad thought of another question.
This matter depends on how you talk about it. If you put it nicely, it can be called a "supplementary comment", but if you put it badly, it means pointing out the mistakes of the master, and even knocking down the sect, bullying the master and destroying the ancestors. suspicion. "This is not a big problem. Grandpa Shi also encouraged me to introduce new research tools for exegesis, saying that using the research results of oracle bone inscriptions to supplement traditional exegesis will definitely become a general direction in the future." Zhou Zhi said: "And it can indeed be seen The effect has been achieved.”
“There is no problem, it is an old problem in our field. Master Zeng is more cautious about whether to publish Master Zeng’s manuscripts.”
"Well..." Dad had heard Zhou Zhi say before that the Gu family, even before the Gu family, had already reached its peak in this "covering knowledge". He always felt that his direction was not accurate enough and his arguments were not sufficient. , the methodology is not perfect, in short, the research is tireless, thank you for the publication.
Changing to a sentence that is particularly popular today, it is "Let's study this issue further."
"It's really strange to say that your profession is weird, huh?" Mom Now I don’t worry about Zhou Zhi’s study, but I feel that the culture of Zhou Zhi is really a bit crazy: “How did you develop this problem?”
“I don’t know, I guess... it has something to do with the literary prison. Right. ”
In ancient times, there were primary schools and universities. Universities take poetry, calligraphy, etiquette and music as their learning content, while elementary schools use text exegesis as their teaching content. Therefore, elementary school later became another name for philology.
As for universities, it has been made very clear a long time ago, "The way of a university lies in clarifying virtue, being close to the people, and striving for perfection."
And "In ancient times, those who wanted to establish virtue in the world must first govern If you want to govern your country, you must first regulate your family; if you want to regulate your family, you must first cultivate your body; if you want to cultivate your body, you must first rectify your heart; if you want to rectify your heart, you must first be sincere in your will; Those who are interested, let them know first . ”
“The way to know is to examine things, and then to know; to know is to be sincere; to be sincere is to have a righteous heart; to be righteous is to cultivate the body; to cultivate the body is to have a harmonious family; to have a well-organized family is to govern the country; to govern the country is to follow. The world is at peace. "
So the "Tao of the University" has long made it clear that the ultimate goal of ancient intellectuals' study is to cultivate Qi Zhiping.
But after the feudal autocracy began to clamp down on them, they had no choice but to "keep silent", give up their political pursuits, and instead spend their lives in "elementary school ways".
Therefore, the more authoritarian the period is, the more popular the primary school method is, becoming a "good toy" for scholar-bureaucrats to relieve political depression and loneliness and realize the value of life.
Even so, the risk still exists, even very high.
Because starting from China's first poetry theory, "The Exegetical Commentary on Mao's Poems", it has been based on a Confucian perspective, with politics and religion as the core, and a special emphasis on the social role of poetry. Human ethics".
It is required that poetry must have a top-down educational effect, requiring that "the wind moves it and teaches it to transform it." Whether it is creating or interpreting other people's creations, it must always be done from this aspect. matter.
In the eyes of the ruling class, this is a shame. Since I can't control the speaker, the simplest solution is to unplug it directly.
The Qianjia School itself was developed in the cruelest academic era by a group of people who were best at protecting themselves through wisdom and wisdom, so one can imagine what their style of study was like.
