Riding the wind of rebirth

Chapter 126
Zhou Zhi then told about the situation of his godfather and mother-in-law and Master Qiao, and when he talked about his own situation, Chi Xueli was finally able to chime in, saying that Zhou Zhi's historical essays had been published in "People's Literature".

Hearing that Zhou Zhi wrote a poem behind the article, Gu Zhenduo asked Zhou Zhi to write it out and read it, and then gave it to Gu Youwen.

Gu Youwen looked at it and said: "The mandibular couplets are beginning to fall out of fashion, and the tail couplets have not been refurbished, which is a pity."

"Yes, sister Chi is to blame for this." The thesis seemed to satisfy the two elders, so Zhou Zhi stopped being trembling and began to regain a bit of mischievous ease, and threw the pot out with a swish: "This poem hasn't even had time yet." After deliberation, I gave it to her the next day, and Sister Chi didn't get my consent when she submitted the manuscript, otherwise it wouldn't be like this."

"Fucking elbow!" Chi Xueli blushed immediately: "Did you help you out of the crime?!"

Both elders couldn't help laughing, Gu Youwen said with a smile: "But the first couplet is indeed very beautifully done."

"Zhou Zhi, just put this paper here, we'll give you your opinion after reading it." Gu Zhenduo said, "How do you plan to publish this paper?"

"I just want my grandpa and grandpa to see whether this matter is worthwhile, and whether the research direction is right." Zhou Zhi didn't dare to drift in front of the two: "As for publishing, I didn't dare to think about it before. "

"To tell you the truth at your level, many of my students are..." Gu Zhenduo shook his head, but finally he didn't say anything: "In the end, those who know are not as good as those who are good, and those who are good are not as good as those who are happy..."

"How is your academic performance? Xue Li said that you are only a sophomore in high school, so you still have to pass the college entrance examination." Gu Youwen asked, "Do you have any thoughts about the future?"

Zhou Zhi didn't dare to look at the two old men, and was so nervous that he only stared at his thesis: "I think...if possible...study under the two old men."

"This kind of knowledge will be very lonely, very lonely." Gu Youwen didn't say no: "It's a common thing to be left behind in a lifetime."

"My father did a lot of research during his lifetime. The "Guangyun Shuzheng" alone has more than 400 million words, but it has not been published. Zhou Zhi, do you know why?"

"Ask your ancestors to teach you."

"His research on medieval phonology was divided into two stages. The decades before the founding of the People's Republic of China was the collation stage. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, he found that there were too many discoveries in collation of "Guangyun", and the collation alone could no longer reflect his own After getting acquainted with "Guangyun", I decided to rewrite it, and according to Mr. Huang Kan's suggestion, I wrote "Guangyun Shuzheng", which is considered to have entered the stage of "Shuzheng."

"The reason why he didn't publish it is because the more he researched, the more afraid he became, and new discoveries continued to overthrow the previous conclusions that he thought were correct."

"That's why he never speaks or writes lightly. He always feels that his opinions are immature, and immature opinions should not be expressed lightly. If he acts rashly, it will definitely delay the learning of later generations and cause adverse effects."

Zhou Zhi was awed by the scrupulous and rigorous character of the older generation of scholars who did not seek fame and fortune: "That's why I want to follow the behest of Master Gaozu."

"There is no shortcut to this road." Gu Youwen said: "Bingwen and I do not have a bachelor's degree. Even if you are enrolled in Shu University, you have to start with a bachelor's degree in Chinese Language and Literature. At most, Huanzhang will take you two courses. It’s been six years since he formally entered our sect.”

"If I can take care of my studies," Zhou Zhi was still trying to get away with it: "Can I come and help my grandpa and grandpa organize Shi Gaozu's remains? Being a lackey of Qingteng's sect is also a pleasure."

"My father can't afford you to be so respected, and you shouldn't belittle yourself so much, child." Gu Youwen said: "Let's go step by step."

Zhou Zhi unconsciously lowered his head, even if he was reborn II, he felt very disappointed and wronged.

Trying to restrain the tears that were about to fall: "Then I will listen to Shizuzu, but please give me a letter from Shizuzu."

"Good boy." Gu Youwen nodded lightly: "What do you think of the word Dawen?"

Zhou Zhi was overjoyed when he heard the words, and raised his head, his eyes filled with hope again: "Thank you, Shizuzu, this is a good word, thank you, Shizuzu."

Gu Youwen also smiled: "He is really a good boy."

In the Jin Dynasty, Han Daozhao, the author of "Five-tone Collection of Rhymes", once had a famous statement: "Those who cut the rhymes are basically four tones, and the new ones are double-tone. If the rhyme is repeated to make the article beautiful, the rhyme is astute in the ears of the ancients. Or If a person does not reach the level of writing, he will be determined by the five tones."

Later generations commented on the book "Five-Yin Jiyun" that "reversing the phonetic keys has good old rules", but at the same time it also pointed out that "compared with the authors who don't know and make mistakes, there is still room for it".

It means that although this man used the upside-down button style when compiling the book, which is quite out of the ordinary, he is at least an expert.

Compared with those who don't understand and write scribbles, they are still far beyond the distance.

Zhou Zhi has never read this book, but Han Daozhao's discourse on phonology is a classic quotation in rhyme, which cannot be bypassed in any book, but Zhou Zhi also knows it.

Gu Youwen chose the word "Dawen" in this discussion as Zhou Zhi's epigraph, not only to encourage him, but also to imply to him that this door is always open, but Zhou Zhi needs to walk through the door step by step.

Obviously, Zhou Zhi has understood this meaning, which made Gu Youwen feel very relieved.

The time and energy of the scholars are very precious, so Zhou Zhi and Chi Xueli didn't dare to disturb the two scholars when they left the papers, so they left.

"Father, young talents, why don't you adopt them and raise them?" Gu Zhenduo asked Gu Youwen when he returned after seeing off the two.

He had already moved his heart to accept disciples, but he didn't expect his old father to be so cautious.

Gu Youwen sighed: "The embarrassment is the embarrassment...it is indeed a young talent..."

"Father, what does this mean?"

"Young talents have an unlimited future. Will this child's future be in the abbot's small study for decades, on a cold bench?"

"This……"

"Although I haven't read the research part of this thesis, just looking at the child's fieldwork report is enough to get a glimpse of its value. Among the undergraduates in the Chinese Department under Huanzhang, ah no, even among the students you brought, How many of them can make such a solid thing?"

"Although it is close to the water, the dialect has a natural advantage, but there are so many people in Jiachuan, who would have thought of doing this? Who has seen the value of the language they usually use?"

"You also heard from Xue Li that this child's three articles were published in provincial publications twice, and once in national publications. From the conversation with him, we can roughly know his cultivation and level of ancient Chinese."

"Such a child will inevitably encounter all kinds of temptations and temptations in the future. After six years, it is really hard to say whether he will maintain his current interests, current thoughts, and current directions. ..."

"What's more, even if the child doesn't choose to take this path in the end, it's a pity for us as a family; but for the child himself, it may not be a wise choice..."

Gu Zhenduo couldn't help being silent, and finally sighed: "Then let's wait until he is admitted to Shu University."

"Hehehehe... Bingwen, you've made a fool of yourself." Gu Youwen shook his head: "Shu University only ranks seventh in the Chinese majors of all colleges and universities across the country. Why do you think that people will only choose Shu University?"

"Let's read the thesis and see his level. If the level is enough, prepare some bibliographies for him according to the level... Well, doesn't this kid like poetry? Go and get your grandfather's "Mao Shi Yun Li", ah, and that Find out the "Classic Anthology of Annotations" and give it to him when he comes next time."

Gu Zhenduo was surprised and said: "Are there not enough collation papers for the books "Yun Jing", "Tong Zhi Qi Yin Lue", "Qie Yun Zhi Zhang Tu", "Si Tone and Other Sons"?"

"Just now I took a look at the research section at the back. I'm afraid what you said is really not enough." Gu Youwen thought for a while: "But...you can give it to him together."

"Yes." Now that Gu Zhenduo knew that his father refused to let Zhou Zhi lightly set up the gate wall, not only was it not an excuse, but a sign of admiration and expectation, and thinking about what his father said just now, he couldn't help worrying.

Is it possible for a genius to sit on the bench for decades, in this day and age?

……

……

After getting into the car, Zhou Zhi's mood was obviously a little depressed.

Chi Xueli, who was driving the car, just heard the conversation between Zhou Zhi and the second elder, which was even more confusing. Even if she wanted to comfort her, she didn't know where to start.

"Elbow, are you okay?"

"Ah, it's okay." Zhou Zhi finally picked up his mood: "Sister Chi, I'm sorry to trouble you today."

"What's the trouble, I'm also in your favor." Chi Xueli said: "You can easily see it as a master?"

After finishing speaking, he was a little jealous: "Is your godfather very powerful? It's not ordinary for a disciple who can win the master's name."

"Godfather and godmother are both my idols." Zhou Zhi told Chi Xueli about his godfather: "If a person has no worries about food and clothing, collects and sorts out some cultural heritage, and conducts research according to his hobbies, follow me. It’s the same now, it’s a natural thing.”

"But I've been exhausted for a few work points all day long, and I don't know if my future will turn around. When I'm still resting in the fields, I don't forget to ask the folks who work together to sort out folk songs, customs, and folklore. ...I still can't figure it out, what supported him to do that?"

"Anyway, if it were me, I would never be able to do it. Therefore, Confucius loves Yan Hui the most, and it is not without his reasons."

"People are overwhelmed with worries, and they don't change their joys when they return." Chi Xueli also nodded in agreement: "It sounds easy to say, but it is really not easy to replace it with your godfather's situation."

"But you are also good at the elbow, the name given by the master, Dawen." Chi Xueli said again: "If my classmates know, I'm afraid they will be envious and jealous to death."

"That's my master's encouragement. It's two different things from choosing relatives to pass on disciples." Zhou Zhi smiled wryly and shook his head.

"But he didn't reject you either." Chi Xueli encouraged Zhou Zhi: "The second elder's attitude towards you is different from mine, haven't you noticed?"

Zhou Zhi couldn't help but laugh, my sister is afraid that she doesn't even know the origin of my name, so how dare she dare to have an attitude with the second elder?

Shaking his head: "I've decided, I'll take the Shu University exam, major in archeology and Chinese literature! At worst, I'll be a student of Professor Kailai first, I don't believe it, and I still won't be recognized by the elders in the end!"

"Yeah, come on!" Chi Xueli patted Zhou Zhi on the head happily: "I hope that in two years, I can call you Junior Brother!"
