Riding the wind of rebirth

Zhou Zhi almost never went to the General History of China class after this semester. Zhao Xingdai called for it, which made the teacher think that this classmate named Zhou Zhi was from Guangdong Province.

The funniest thing is that Zhou Zhi went to the final class, and then the teacher felt that he was a bit strange, so he asked him to get up and answer a question, and then asked him if he was from Guangdong Province. Why did he lose his accent?

Zhou Zhi immediately switched to fluent Cantonese and spoke a few words, and then said in "Yuepu" with an accent that because of the help of his classmates in the dormitory, he had finally succeeded in getting rid of part of his accent through hard training, but if the teacher liked to hear this, he could do it too explain.

The teacher decisively stopped such an attempt, and then even encouraged him a few words before letting him go gently.

Zhou Zhi has indulged himself even more this semester. Firstly, he has become familiar with the people around him. Secondly, he has a thorough understanding of the bottom line of professors and lecturers. Thirdly, it is naturally supported by his grades.

In fact, today's campuses are almost strict in entry and exit, and countless classmates and teachers who are flying around at low altitude can't help but want to show their favor. When encountering someone like Zhou Zhi who can write full test papers and get high marks, no matter how unfamiliar the face is, the teacher will be satisfied. Pass him.

After all, compared to other test papers, if you say he didn't attend class, he has indeed learned it again, and even some test questions can give you out-of-the-box answers.

For example, regarding the question about the crisis in the Northern Song Dynasty during Wang Anshi's reform, Zhou Zhi first wrote, "The standard answer is: serious land annexation; continuous peasant uprising; three redundancies; threat from Liao Kingdom and Xixia."

But I wrote my own opinions below, listing some data and believing that land annexation in the Northern Song Dynasty was not serious in fact; the intensity of peasant uprisings was actually far less than that of the Qin, Han, Tang, Ming and Qing Dynasties; three redundancies did exist, but the redundancy of officials was also far less than that of the later Ming and Qing Dynasties; and even not as good as that of the Wu and Zhou Dynasties ; And the "soldiers" among the redundant soldiers are actually open to question.

Therefore, putting aside the superficial phenomena and talking about the core, the essence of serious mergers is actually that the gap between the rich and the poor is too huge, and the proportion of the poor struggling to survive is too large. This is also the essence of the persistence of peasant uprisings. There are actually three reasons for this. Redundancy accounts for a large part of the responsibility, but in fact it is a population that does not produce, or there are too many people who have been robbed of the fruits of their labor. Their output is neither attributed to individuals nor to the country, but is nakedly embezzled by the powerful. , eventually leading to a shortage of state supplies, which made it difficult to suppress the rise of northern ethnic minorities.

Of course, the reason why it is difficult to suppress the rise of ethnic minorities in the north has a lot to do with the loss of horse breeding land, as well as the shortage of land resources caused by the population explosion and other factors.

Such an answer is not a standard answer, but it does describe the essence hidden under the standard answer. University is different from middle school and must be answered according to the standard answer. Would that teacher not like having such a thoughtful student in his department?

I asked again, oh Mr. Gu’s young disciple, is he absent from class because he is helping the eighth department to develop the Hanwen character library?No wonder, no wonder, this can’t be justified without giving high marks, but since he missed a lot of classes, I will deduct two points as a punishment to prevent him from being proud...

In this way, even with two points deducted, I still ranked No. 1 in the General History Examination of China.

However, Mr. Gu also kept a low profile and asked his department head Sun Tzu to only give Zhou Zhi a first-class scholarship.

This honor is also very high. As for the most generous Qiyan scholarship, it should be reserved for children who need it more...

But no matter what, in the eyes of Tong Xiaolin and others, it's okay for a stupid person to miss school for one semester, but if we miss two days, what's going on? !

After settling the matter and making an appointment to recruit all the people the day after tomorrow and then try on clothes for training, Zhou Zhi was able to escape from the dance club and go to Taohua Village to find Mr. Gu.

"Mao Poetry Rhymes" has been handed over to Mr. Gu. After reviewing it, Mr. Gu expressed great satisfaction.

If Mr. Gu can't find fault, then there won't be any problem at all.

This person was well-known in the academic world for his rigor and conscientiousness. When he was compiling books with several major Chinese scholars, the majors once said that the manuscripts that had been approved by Xiaogu did not need to be handed over to us for review, but could be printed directly.The two men discussed things while eating scallion noodles. Zhou Zhi learned the scallion noodles from Mr. Wang in the north, and Mr. Gu liked it very much.

However, in order to take care of the elderly's protein and vitamin intake, Zhou Zhi still made an extra omelette and added some soft boiled spinach.

When Mr. Gu asked Zhou Zhi for his opinion, Su You said: "I think it's better to publish it. We can't be cautious and let Master Zeng's posthumous manuscripts never see the light of day. I think as long as we maintain the mentality of 'I'll be happy if I've heard it', at most it will be published." The preface states what we mean, indicating that this book is not a standard answer, and colleagues are welcome to discuss and correct it."

"Would this make people think that we think highly of ourselves? Isn't that where the allusion comes from?"

This allusion comes from "Historical Records: Biography of Lu Buwei", offering a reward of thousands of gold to anyone who can change a single word in "Lu's Spring and Autumn Annals". In fact, the meaning behind it is - I forgive you for not being able to change a single word of your pride.

Of course, there is also another meaning of nakedly declaring one's authority - let's see who of you dares!
Zhou Zhi smiled and said: "It depends on how we express it. As long as we sincerely welcome criticism and correction, we can always let others understand and feel it."

"Then I'll leave it to you." Mr. Gu was not polite at all and directly made a hard allocation: "You are the one who wrote the book, so there must be no problem in this aspect."

Zhou Zhi was stunned while holding the noodles. He said it as if none of the three members of your old Gu family were writers. Is writing books still something to be proud of in this family?

"What you write is different from what we write." Gu Lao said with a smile: "What we write only needs to be accurate in expression and logically smooth. What you write also needs to be rhetorically processed and lovable. It is different."

This was indeed reasonable, and I couldn't push it away, so I had no choice but to nod and agree.

However, Mr. Gu kept pushing further: "How far have you completed the manuscript of "Oracle Bone Explanation"?"

"No, not much has been done." Zhou Zhi didn't expect Mr. Gu to ask this question, and he immediately blushed.

This matter is a research direction of Zhou Zhi. Yes, although he is only a freshman, Zhou Zhi already has several major directions for his future academic development.

One of them is the study of oracle bone inscriptions. Of course, those who engage in exegesis cannot rest on the merits of their predecessors, but they must promote and develop the doctrines of their predecessors.

Starting from Xu Shen's "Shuowen Jiezi", the research on the origin of Chinese characters in ancient China has been limited to large and small seal scripts, with reference to some bronze inscriptions at most, and there is no further research on the original characters.

With the unearthing of oracle bone inscriptions, more and more scholars are studying in this area, and many experts have emerged. However, these experts pay more attention to the deciphering, interpretation of oracle bone inscriptions, and interpretation of oracle inscriptions, but rarely combine them with the study of exegesis. Relate.

However, Zhou Zhi had already begun such an attempt when he was in high school. When he was in his third year of high school, he published a book "Shuowen Jiezi Error Analysis" at Shu University, which introduced Oracle tools. For Xu Shen's work in "Shuowen Jiezi" Some errors in the textual origins described in have been corrected.

This booklet is actually very valued in academic circles, and its excerpts have been published in the national first-class academic journal "Literature and History".
