Thirty-seven, meet Han Xianru again

People like the truth and hate lies.?                                                                                                                          �

?But when the truth and lies are placed in front of you at the same time, many people prefer to believe lies rather than the truth. Perhaps this is the reality that is too pale and cold, while the world built by lies is full of justice and harmony?

When Wu Zichen told two reasons for visiting, Jiang Shuiyuan subconsciously chose to believe that he was here to borrow winter vacation homework, rather than to see him in a mess. Even if he had vaguely guessed part of the truth, he was unwilling to expose it before formal confession. Everyone has their own secrets in the world, right?

Wu Zichen had a sumptuous lunch at the Jiang family and played until three or four o'clock in the afternoon before he reluctantly returned. In fact, he wanted to stay and have a long talk with Jiang Shuiyuan, but Jiang Shuiyuan had no intention of retaining him, so he was naturally embarrassed to stay with shamelessness.

In the following days, Wu Zichen looked for Jiang Shuiyuan to play basketball and go shopping every now and then, and sometimes he would come together with Wu Yangzhen. In this way, everyone soon ushered in the spring start of school. A few days before the school started, Jiang Shuiyuan attended an extraordinary meeting of the National Studies and the Korean Scholar Society at the convening of Liu Xinying. The theme of the meeting was naturally to discuss how to deal with the upcoming National Studies and Unified National Studies and National Studies and Unified Examination Competition for Middle School Students.

In just one month of this winter vacation, Jiang Shuiyuan not only carefully read books such as "Song and Yuan Case", "Metaphysics of Wei and Jin Dynasties", "History of Confucianism in China", but also thought carefully about Liu Xinying's previous proposal of the method of building a knowledge system. He thought it took a lot of time, but he always felt that he was still a long way from the peak of the second level and even the first level, which made him a little dejected.

He walked into the Chinese Studies Lecture Hall depressedly and saw Liu Xinying, Fu Shouzhang and others talking around an old man in a cotton robe like stars. When he looked carefully, he realized that the man was Liu Xinying's grandfather, Han Xianru, who was very elegant with him. Before he could say hello, Han Xianru waved to him: "Little boy, do you still remember me, this old man?"

Jiang Shuiyuan quickly bowed: "Hello Mr. Han! I was fortunate to listen to your old opinions in Lianghuai Bookstore last time, and thanked me for guidance on reading strategies. I have benefited a lot from it. I still feel deafening when I think about it. How could I not remember your old age?"

Han Xianru laughed and asked again: "Will you still recite Zhang Yuzhao's "Preface to Sending Li Fosheng"?"

"I can barely remember it," Jiang Shuiyuan immediately recited loudly: "After Buddha was dismissed from office and lived in the south of the Yangtze River, he studied tirelessly every day, and he was particularly fond of "Zhuangzi".... Buddha was about to travel north and asked for a word to give it to him. I was because Buddha was very talented but was not successful, and he was afraid of his mistakes and was like this. I wrote this to praise him."

After hearing that Jiang Shuiyuan had memorized the hundreds of words without making any stumbles, Han Xianru was even happier. He called Jiang Shuiyuan in front of him and asked kindly: "How is the Summary of the General Catalogue of Siku Quanshu?"

"I've finished reading it roughly, but I don't understand many things." Jiang Shuiyuan answered frankly.

Liu Xinying showed her little daughter's appearance, shook Han Xianru's arm and said, "Grandpa, don't listen to him nonsense! You don't know that he has the ability to remember everything he saw. He said he had 'copy read', but in fact he could have read it skillfully long ago."

Han Xianru stroked his beard and said, "It's already very good to be able to recite it proficiently. Let me tell you the truth. There are not many people in the country who can do this! As for many places that don't understand or not, that's more common. - Don't say you don't understand, I don't understand it, old man, I don't understand it. Even if you look across the country, I guess no scholar dares to claim that he can understand the entire set of "Siku Quanshu Summary"! Like the famous modern ancient bibliologist and catalogerist Mr. Yu Jiaxi, who has been writing the "Siku Summary" for more than 50 years, which is the essence of his life and one of the most influential works in the history of modern Chinese academics. Even so, he dare not claim to understand the entire set of "Siku Summary", let alone those who wait and see?"

Only then did Jiang Shuiyuan's depression slightly relieve it.

Han Xianru said again: "Of course, the "Siku Summary" may not be completely correct. You don't have to stick to prejudices when reading books in the future. You can carefully weigh the gains and losses of previous people based on your own understanding, and understand the correctness and errors in the books. You will definitely improve your knowledge every day. But then again, why don't you come to see me, an old man during the winter vacation, but instead let the old man come to your school to see you? Why do you think that the old man is noisy and speech is not good at listening, are you still afraid that the old man will not give you New Year's money and lose your face?"

Jiang Shuiyuan laughed and said, "I want to visit you and ask you some questions by the way. But I have only been ignorant of my studies. I can find the answers by reading many questions. I dare not work hard for you easily. Secondly, you are always a giant in the academic circle of Huai'an Prefecture. I educate everyone. There must be many people visiting around the Spring Festival. How dare you come to disturb me if you are rude? I'll forgive me for your rudeness!"

Han Xianru waved his hand and said, "Those are just mundane affairs, you can leave them aside and ignore them. For the old man, only two things in the world are the main things: educating people and doing academic research. If you have any problems in the future, just come to find the old man, at any time. Anyway, I retire at home and I am idle every day!" After a pause, he said to other members of the Chinese Studies Association: "Of course, if you have any problems, you can also come to find the old man at any time."

However, this pause, coupled with the word "Ye", has clearly distinguished Mr. Han's different attitudes towards Jiang Shuiyuan and other classmates. So Chen Di, Fu Shouzhang and others looked at Jiang Shuiyuan with some taste, and even Liu Xinying was a little jealous: "Grandpa, although Jiang Shuiyuan is a little handsome, has a better memory, and has a smarter mind, but everyone is a student in Huai'an Prefecture and is a fan of Chinese studies. You have to treat everyone equally and not be biased!"

Han Xianru smiled and said, "Okay, okay, as long as you don't mind the old man nagging, just come here, I warmly welcome you!"

Seeing that all the people who held the meeting today were here, Liu Xinying asked everyone to sit down, and then said seriously: "School is about to start, and the selection competition for Chinese Studies is about to begin. This event is an important foundation for the existence of Chinese Studies Speakers. We here must do our best to strive for good results. During the past winter vacation, I believe everyone has actively prepared for the competition, observed the live videos of previous sessions, and had a more intuitive understanding of the competition. I would like to ask you a few questions here. The first is whether you are proficient in the rules of Chinese Studies Sponsorship?"

"Yes!" Everyone replied in unison.

In fact, there is not much difference between the Chinese studies and the ordinary debate competition. The positive and negative sides are composed of four people, including the first debater (main general), the second debater, the third debater, and the fourth debater. They debate around a topic. The competition duration is 60 minutes, including five links: opening arguments, mutual attacks and defenses, concluding arguments, free debates and summary statements.

However, the special nature of the difficulty of Chinese studies is that the topic is the content of Chinese studies, such as the "sound without sorrow and joy", "words without meaning", and the common classic topics such as "loyalty and filial piety are the first", "sweeping the house or sweeping the world", and "who is the first to get married and establishing a career". Moreover, the traditional Chinese studies discourse system must be adopted during the debate, and the terms, conclusions or arguments of Western philosophy are not allowed to be used, and violators will be directly sent off!
