Riding the wind of rebirth

Chapter 284 The Founders
It seems that big stars are also experienced in how to hide themselves, so there is no problem, so they went out together, and when they came downstairs, Zhou Zhi asked, "Sister Chi, Director Liu, tell me, what's the matter?"

"Only you are clever!" Chi Xueli said with a smile: "Let's say this is not a favor, I don't even like it! It's a task in the hall and on the stage. I want to invite Shizuzu, Shigong, Shifu, Attending this Lantern Festival Gala, there will be a simple interview during the meeting."

Zhou Zhi understood now, he probably invited several people before, but they were rejected.

Then for some unknown reason, the higher-ups still valued these few people, so they found people who were related to them to come and do work.

It's normal to think about it again. Nowadays, the slogan "No matter how poor you are, you can't be poor in education, and no matter how hard you are, you can't suffer children" has become popular again.

As the top educational and academic family in Central Sichuan, it is completely understandable that relevant parties hope that they will come out, take a stand at the party, and say a few words of affirmation and inspiration for their work.

"Actually, we need to think about it in a different way." Zhou Zhi thought about it for a while, and it didn't hurt the face of the two: "What do they value most? Knowledge. They don't want to go to the party to record interviews." The reason, nothing else, may be that they think that doing so will delay their learning, right?"

Both Chi Xueli and Director Liu kept nodding.

"So it's easy to solve this problem. Just tell them that going to the party is beneficial to their knowledge, and they won't refuse."

"That's what you said." Deputy Director Liu thought that Zhou Zhi was a little tricky - in the dialect of Shudu, it is called "losing a mouse", which means irresponsible in speaking and doing things - so he said: "How can we make the interview change? It must be good for learning? Isn’t this making things more difficult?”

"Are there many people who understand the subject of rhyme?" Zhou Zhi didn't understand the thinking of Lao Liu and Chi Xueli: "Isn't this a good promotion opportunity?"

Chi Xueli and Lao Liu didn't understand Zhou Zhi's thinking even more: "If you say a few words at the Lantern Festival party, it's considered a promotion?"

Chi Xueli was even more angry: "Elbow, don't treat everyone as you, okay?! Phonology is the first choice of compulsory subjects in our Chinese Department, no one!"

"Huh? Sister Chi, what textbooks are you using? Is it Mr. Tang Zuofan's "Phonology Tutorial" and "Ancient Phonetic Handbook"?"

"General Knowledge of Chinese Phonology!" Chi Xueli became even more angry.

Speaking of this kind of learning, the line of inheritance in modern times is actually very clear, and it can be roughly divided into "family school" and "national school".

Some of them are unavoidable,
The first path is Dai Zhen of the Qianjia School, and his great disciple Duan Yucai. Duan Yucai passed on to Wang Niansun, Wang Yinzhi, and Gu Shaoxian, who were mainly influenced by this school, followed by generations of Gu family descendants.

At the beginning, this road was basically private school and family school.

The second way is Zhang Taiyan and his great disciple Huang Kan. Huang Kan advocates "studying well" and "extensive and rigorous".The study of writing, phonology, and exegesis that he governs is as far away as the Han and Tang Dynasties, and as close as Qianjia. He is self-contained and has many original ideas.

This journey can be regarded as a combination of family studies and Chinese studies. Huang Kan was born in a famous family in Chengdu. His father was the prefect of Chengdu.

The third way is Wang Li, this is the pure Chinese school. When he was young, he was admitted to the Academy of Chinese Studies of Tsinghua University and studied under Zhao Yuanren.At that time, Tsinghua National Academy had four mentors: 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, and later obtained a doctorate in French literature with his thesis "Experimental Records of Bobai Fangyin".

Tang Zuofan, the editor of the college textbooks that Zhou Zhi just mentioned, which is used by most liberal arts schools today, is Wang Li's capable disciple.

This is a very interesting thing. Speaking of it, these people are the founders of modern Chinese language and philology, literature, phonology and exegesis, and masters of Chinese studies. It seems that because there are only these few people at the top of the pyramid, they still have mutual respect for each other. very familiar.

For example, Gu Shaoxian was recommended by Huang Kan to teach language and philology at Central University; and Wang Li also came to Shuzhong when the school moved inward due to the war and established Southwest Associated University. He met Gu Shaoxian and talked with him for a long time through the car window. , earnestly told him that he is a rare talent and asked him to make more contributions to language science.

At that time, the students of that generation encouraged and appreciated each other with their knowledge, and for a common goal - modern Chinese linguistics, it can be said that they were congenial and worked together, so they achieved their own achievements and jointly became a majestic group of modern Chinese language science. Mountain.

As for the three books discussed by Zhou Zhi and Chi Xueli just now, in Zhou Zhi's eyes, the context is clear and logical, and they are basically easy to read. They can only be regarded as "entry-level" and "science-level" content. Have you ever thought about it? This course is doomsday-level difficulty in the eyes of others.

It is precisely because of this that Chi Xueli felt very hurt, and then Zhou Zhi told her that it was nothing, as long as you read "Shuowen Jiezi" four times, this class will basically not trouble you. Xue Li felt hurt even deeper.

You are already so smart, how dare you work harder than me? !
Being crushed by this stinky brother in terms of IQ and EQ, Chi Xueli has become accustomed to it, so she simply asked: "Let's talk so much, I'll ask you, do you think that promotion will be effective? Just a few words, answer the call, and devote yourself to such a boring knowledge?"

There is nothing wrong with this statement, because the great mathematician Chen Jingrun, everyone knows Goldbach's conjecture.

If Goldbach's conjecture is known as "the jewel in the crown of mathematics", then the jewel of Chinese linguistics is undoubtedly exegesis.

Because it is the most basic of all Chinese language expressions and applications.

The word "fire", how did it come about, why it was written in this way, why it was read in this way, how it was written in the past, how it was pronounced in the past, how it was written step by step to become what it is now, how to read it to be what it is now...

What was the meaning of this word at the beginning, what meanings were derived later, why these meanings were derived, how did it become radicals later, and what characters were developed...

How many parts of speech does this word have in Chinese grammar, how are they used in this way, and what historical materials record these usages...

There are so many contents, there are many interesting contents, but there are also many contents that are quite boring.

Phonology, one of the important contents of exegesis, is undoubtedly the most boring kind.

Just as it is impossible for the general public to become interested in mathematics just because of a few words of appeal from a great mathematician, it is also impossible for them to become interested in phonology, which is dreaded by many Chinese students because of a few words of Gu Youwen.
