The short and fat old man immediately stood up: "Ah, you are the Jiangshuiyuan of Huai'an Prefecture? A few days ago, Brother Han mentioned you to me and said that you are quick-witted and skilled in classics and history. You are one of the few good seedlings of Chinese studies in recent years. At that time, I thought he was giving on my face and joked with him a few words. I didn't expect that it was better to meet than to be famous, and meeting was even better than to be famous!"

The tall and thin old man still had a stern face: "I don't know if it's a good seedling, but he is definitely a sloppy!"

After Jiang Shuiyuan saluted, he asked curiously: "Do you two know Mr. Han?"

The short and fat old man greeted Jiang Shuiyuan to sit down, and then introduced himself: "My name is Ji Xun, and the bamboo pole next to him is Qiao Zhizhi. Although he has a coffin face all day long, everyone looks like he is full of bitterness and grudges. In fact, he is a good person, a typical knife-like mouth and a toast heart. We both are teachers from the National College of Jinling University, and we have known Brother Han for decades. Brother Han has excellent character and knowledge. We have always admired him. He has invited him to teach at Jinling University many times, but he politely declined. As a result, the yellow bell was broken and the tiles roared. He has a reputation in Huai'an, which made us a dull person here and make a big noise. I am ashamed!"

There was a lot of sighs in the conversation.

Qiao Zhizhi's thin cheeks twitched, and I wonder what kind of feelings he wanted to express: "Brother Han is actually quite good in Huai'an Mansion. He has a leisurely work and a comfortable life. He just calms down and studies well. Look at his frequent masterpieces over the years, and his writings are not the result of studying hard in the closed doors and studying with peace of mind? It's not like us, when we were young, we were confined everywhere, and we dared not to do that; when we get older, we have no knowledge in our stomachs, and we have to be a top student everywhere. This is the real shame!"

Ji Xun laughed dryly: "I said Zhugan, in front of me, you can at least give us old bones some face. If you are like you, you will be so ill of your feelings, so how can we show off in front of me in the future?"

Qiao Zhizhi snorted coldly: "It seems that if I don't expose it, we will have a plan to make a statement!"

"I can boast about being a national leader in studying "Dragon Kan Handwritten" in front of these young people! As long as you don't expose my cowhide, who knows what book "Dragon Kan Handwritten" is? Children, do you know "Dragon Kan Handwritten"?"

Jiang Shuiyuan nodded: "I know! The four volumes of the book "Longkan Hand Mirror" are a book written by a monk Xingjun of the Liao Dynasty. According to the "Siku Quanshu General Catalogue Summary", the characters in all parts of the book are flat, up, down, and entered into the order. The characters in each part are listed in four tones. Each character must be listed in detail below the regular, common, modern, ancient and other styles. The records include more than 26,430 words, more than 163,170 words, and more than 189,610 words. Many of them are collected outside of "Shuowen" and "Yu Pian". - I have read the "Siku Quanshu General Catalogue Summary", so I remember the basic situation of this book!"

Qiao Zhizhi finally smiled, although he was very stiff: "Hahahaha, you old guy, you can't even cheat a child, and you dare to claim to be the Taishan Beidou who studies "Dragon Kan Hand Mirror" nationwide! It's Taishan Beidou, it's Taishan, why don't you go to the ground? It's Beidou, why don't you go to heaven? Look at you to be able to do it!"

Ji Xun was shocked: "It's over. Now "Dragon Kan Hand Mirror" can no longer scare people. Next time I have to say that I am a master of national research, "People" or "Zengzi"? "Jijizhang" or "Ganluzi"? It's best if it's not included in "Siku Quanshu", which seems rather rare and difficult, and others can't find the foundation for a while."

...

Jiang Shuiyuan was watching two old men in their seventies laughing and scolding each other, feeling that they were being influenced by their predecessors and stepping into the academic circle step by step. Sometimes integrating into the academic circle is not about how much knowledge you know or how many people you know, but about how many scandals and interesting stories you know in the academic world. Everyone can chat together when they sit together.

It was seven o'clock in the blink of an eye, and everyone was 6.

As the organizer of this hairpinning event, Cheng Daqi, the head of Changzhou Prefecture No. 1 Middle School, respectfully invited Ji Xun and George to the guest seat. Everyone saw this and quickly entered the seat according to the table sign. After sitting down, Cheng Daqi picked up the microphone with no choice: "Dear Professor Ji, Professor Qiao, colleagues, good evening everyone! Time flies, and the years pass by, and in the blink of an eye, the annual provincial Chinese studies difficult selection competition has arrived. Our hairpinning event has also reached the sixth session. This time, we are fortunate to be the host of our Changzhou Prefecture. Thank you for your appointment and your love for our Changzhou Prefecture!

"At the beginning of the meeting, please allow me to introduce two respected guests. This is the vice dean of the National College of Jinling University and a famous philologist Professor Ji Xunji. Professor Ji has profound research on Chinese characters' changes, font evolution, and customary characters. His representative works "Research on Li Change", "Historical Draft of Chinese Characters' Evolution", "Chinese Characters' Common Type Characters", "Longkan Hand-Address>Annotation" have had a profound influence in the academic world and have been designated as reference books for graduate students in philology by Jingshi University, Peking University and other institutions.

"This is a special professor of Zhaoming Scholars of the National Academy of Jinling University, and a famous historian, Mr. Qiao Zhizhi. Mr. Qiao has a wide range of interests in academic research, including the history of the Song, Liao, Jin and Yuan dynasties, ancient material and cultural history, history of transportation between China and the West, historical theory and history of historic science. But the most commendable thing is his pioneering research on the Khitan characters and the life history of northern ethnic groups. It is recognized by the historical community at home and abroad that "scholars who know the most about the northern ethnic groups in China from the 10th to the 15th century" by the historical community. Let us welcome the arrival of the two of them with warm applause!"

At this time, Jiang Shuiyuan had a superficial understanding of these two old men, no, the two famous scholars.

Cheng Daqi continued: "In order to hold this hairpin meeting, we specially invited famous craftsmen to make a batch of purple clay teapots. They are exquisitely made of materials and elegant shapes. They are the best among Yixing purple clay. Unfortunately, there are only six, which means that only half of the people present can get it. I hope that everyone can actively participate in the activities that are waiting for a while, strive to be the first, and win these high-quality purple clay teapots that are hard to come by.

"Everyone may be curious, what is the theme event of the hairpin festival hosted by our Changzhou Prefecture? Considering that Jiangbei, especially the prefectures and prefectures in Huaibei, have inherent disadvantages in terms of Pingshui rhyme and four tones, to ensure fairness and justice in activities, we will no longer write poems, write lyrics, and copy songs like before, but change them to a pair of names. For example, I am the famous contemporary translator "Yang Jiang". You can talk to "Li Bai", "Xiao Hong", or "Liu Qing". It's that simple! The specific rules of the competition will be explained in detail later. Let me ask Dean Ji to tell us a few words!"

Ji Xun took the microphone with a smile: "I'm very happy to meet you young handsome men! Everyone knows that the place not far from us is the Jiangnan Gongyuan. A hundred years ago, every three years or less, thousands of young people would go here from various prefectures, prefectures and counties to participate in the provincial examinations, starting their tragic, glorious, miserable or prominent life. However, since the Qing government announced in 1905 that all rural examinations would be stopped, this exciting scene could no longer be seen, and replaced by the high school entrance examination and the college entrance examination, and the contents also changed from the original Four Books and Five Classics to politics, history, geography, physics, chemistry and biology.

"The depressed departure of the imperial examination led to the Chinese studies going to the end. Every time I pass by the former site of the Jiangnan Gongyuan, I can't help but think of a poem by Li Bai: "I haven't written a lot for a long time, who will die? "Today I saw you holding a hairpin flower party, I felt like I was vaguely feeling the grand occasion of young scholars gathering together to enjoy poetry and papers before the provincial examination. You are all the same young, the same spirit, and the same patriotic national studies. I wish you can persist in the hairpin flower party and get better and better, leaving a line of inheritance for the Jiangzuo Fenghua hundreds of years ago!"

Applause was thunderous.

Jiang Shuiyuan clapped and said in his heart: This old man is not authentic! For his own thoughts, he actually plans to let so many young people go to Jiangning Mansion to summon the former Jiangnan Gongyuan. If you want to go there, you can go! It’s okay if you go to Jiangnan Gongyuan every day to dance Nuo and rituals. No one will care about you, but why are you harming young people?

Qiao Zhizhi's speech was not as enthusiastic as Ji Xun, but was calm and plain: "The pairing is the third content that children who entered the school to learn literacy since the Six Dynasties and studied, and it was earlier than writing articles. In the eyes of the ancients, the pairing was the basis for writing articles, and it would be difficult to write articles if they were not good at writing. To this day, Chinese studies have declined. Even students from the Chinese Department of Jinling University can only match the pair well, let alone ordinary middle school students!

"In the history of couplet exhibitions, the name pair is the earliest. As early as the Qin and Han dynasties, some peach talismans directly wrote "Shen Tu" and "Yulei" and can be regarded as the earliest name pair. For example, the "Yunjian 6 Shilongs, and Xun Minghe, which was widely circulated in the Western Jin Dynasty, is already a very neat name pair. The name pair not only tests the participants' knowledge accumulation, but also tests the participants' thinking sensitivity. It is a good entertainment project. I hope you can all actively use your brain and deliver satisfactory answers!"

When Zhou Yuantong heard that he would not take the poems, lyrics, music and music, he changed to a name pair. He immediately became active and said to Jiang Shuiyuan next to him: "We have a chance to take revenge! If you want to chant the wind and play the moon, and search for chapters and sentences, we Huaibei people are indeed not the opponents of Jiangnan people. If you really want to use the name pair, we Huaibei people are better than Jiangnan people, right?"

Jiang Shuiyuan was stunned: "It seems that Brother Zhou is very familiar with the history of the country?"

Zhou Yuantong rubbed his round belly and was filled with a round belly: "Is that okay? Maybe it's not as familiar as Brother Jiang, you are with "The Complete Tang Poems". At least I have read the first four histories and read "Zizhi Tongjian" for most of them. I should be able to barely fight, right?"
