1850 American Gold Tycoon.

Liang Yao's personal success set off a craze for Sinology in the United States.

More and more Americans are interested in the history and culture of this ancient oriental civilization.

Many Chinese also saw business opportunities and opened Chinese language classes to make a living by teaching Chinese.

Previously neglected in New York, Chinese classics and their various translations are now very popular.

Among the many Chinese historical classics, the third best-selling is "The Six Classics of the Chinese Empire".

The so-called "Six Classics of the Chinese Empire" is the traditional Four Books plus "Book of Filial Piety" and "Primary School".

However, the old translation of "Six Classics of the Chinese Empire" on sale is not an English translation.

It is the reprinted version of the "Six Classics of the Chinese Empire" first published in Prague by the Belgian Jesuit Franciscan Wei in 1711, and the French version translated into French by the Frenchman Pruquet in 1784.

Although the French version of "Six Classics of the Chinese Empire" is a translation based on the Latin version, the quality is slightly lower, but the sales of the French version of "Six Classics of the Chinese Empire" are much better than those of the Latin version.

In the United States, there are still more people who know French than Latin.

"I learn Chinese, write Chinese characters, and read Chinese classics not for lectures, but to better fulfill the duties of a wife. As a Chinese wife, if I don't know anything about Chinese culture, I will have to deal with people in the future. It will inevitably be ridiculed."

After graduating in 1854, Yung Wing has been in a state of part-time work and part-study.

But only he himself understood the bitterness when he first entered Yale University in 1850.

Yung Wing soon realized that what he wanted to say later was inappropriate, so he hurriedly stopped.

Yale University has even begun to organize Chinese students to translate some classic Chinese classics into English.

Now universities in the United States are scrambling to offer Chinese language and Sinology courses, and Yale University obviously has a great advantage in this regard.

In addition to overcoming the loneliness of studying abroad, he also had to overcome racial discrimination.

Unlike the Six Classics of the Chinese Empire, there are high-quality English translations of 36 Strategies and Sun Tzu's Art of War, translated by Reverend Brown and Yung Wing.

After the first batch of international students organized by Liang Yao completed the middle school courses, most of them have now entered the institutions of higher learning in the United States for systematic study.

"If I were a man, I would be able to apply for a professor of Sinology at the university and give lectures on the podium." Elizabeth smiled, "Sir, is that what you want to say?"

"Miss Elizabeth is overrated. The American with the highest attainments in Sinology, Rong can't afford it. Pastor Brown, General Liang, and many Chinese scholars who immigrated to the United States, their Sinology attainments are much higher than Rong. And China Compared with other scholars, Rong was just lucky and learned English first." Rong Hong said very modestly.

In New York City, in Vanderbilt's manor, Elizabeth's tutor Rong Wing looked at the Chinese classics on the bookshelf and sighed at Elizabeth's intelligence.

There are so many Chinese classics, if you read all of them, it will take up too much time and energy. This is the list of books I recommend to you, and you can choose the books to read. "

In addition to being a tutor to Elizabeth, he also served as a lecturer in Sinology at New York University and studied law at New York University.

This group of international students is much luckier than Yung Wing.

"Exactly." Rong Hong nodded and said, "Rong is rude, I hope you will forgive me for the offense."

Yung Wing took out a book list and handed it to Elizabeth: "Miss Elizabeth, I'm not very talented, I'm afraid I won't be able to teach you anything in the future.

The rise of the upsurge of sinology has made the universities that accepted Chinese students the first to win. Of course, the biggest winner is undoubtedly Yale University.

"36 Strategies" and "Sun Tzu's Art of War" aroused great repercussions as soon as they were published. The 3 copies of the first edition were quickly sold out and had to be reprinted.

Elizabeth glanced at Yung Wing's book list: "Sinology is a very profound knowledge. I have only studied with you for more than a year. At best, I have only learned a little bit."

"I'm afraid you are the first woman in America who can read Chinese classics fluently in Chinese, if you are"

The top two classics in sales are "36 Strategies" and "Sun Tzu's Art of War".

For this reason, Yale University even sent people directly to California and the Qing Dynasty to find students, looking for and hiring knowledgeable Sinology scholars, so that they could take the lead in the field of Sinology research.

In addition, Yung Wing himself has achieved excellent results through his own efforts, which impresses the white students and wins their respect. These discriminations and prejudices no longer exist.

They are not alone, and by the time they get to college, with Yung Wing paving the way for them and California backing them up, racism is gone.

"Sir, you are humble. You are the American with the highest attainment in Sinology and the best Sinology teacher I can find in America. It is my honor that you condescend to be my tutor." Elizabeth took Rong Hong and handed it over book list.

"Sun Tzu's Art of War" is more popular in the military circle.

Yale University, which accepted two-thirds of its undergraduates, became the biggest winner.

"Ms. Rong also only learned a little superficially." Rong Hong said, "Miss Elizabeth, many Sinology classics were written hundreds or even thousands of years ago. Some things are outdated and contrary to American values. When you read, Read selectively."

Whether they are American politicians or entrepreneurs, they all like "36 Strategies" very much. They are amazed at the wisdom of the Chinese people, who were able to write such a wise book 2000 years ago.

As the first Chinese student in the history of Yale University, Yung Wing was alone when he entered Yale University.

"It's not offensive. What you said is the truth. There is prejudice against women in both the East and the West. There are many lecterns in American universities, but they can't accommodate a female lecturer." Elizabeth was very open-minded.

Although later with the rise of California, Liang Yao became the first Chinese state speaker, the first Chinese colonel, and the first Chinese general in American history.The status of the Chinese has improved significantly.

She knew that Yung Wing had her own things to do, so she didn't try to persuade him to stay.

This group of international students is much luckier than Yung Wing.

If it weren't for these outstanding international students who had already signed a training agreement with Liang Yao, they would have to serve the American Group for ten years after graduation. Yale University even considered waiting for these students to graduate and retain the best among them to teach.

"Thank you sir for your advice." Elizabeth nodded to show that she was educated.

"If there is nothing else, I will take my leave." Rong Hong said.

"Sir, wait a moment." Elizabeth opened the drawer, took out an invitation card from the drawer and handed it to Rong Wing.

"My wedding with General Liang will be held in two months. You are my teacher. I hope you can attend my wedding at that time. I think General Liang must also want to meet you very much."

"Definitely, definitely." Rong Hong accepted the invitation, "You and General Liang are both indebted to Rongmou, Rongmou absolutely has no reason to be absent from the wedding of the two of you. It is also an honor for Rongmou to be able to attend the wedding ceremony of the two of you."
