Huang Tongyuan suddenly made a big blush.

Chen Xuan quickly changed the topic and said, "Since Miss Huang likes Jingshi University so much, why don't you come here to study for a graduate school?"

"Is that OK? I heard that graduate students at Jingshi University are more difficult to take than undergraduates. Although it recruits more people, at least half of them are reserved for students who are recommended. The remaining half are not only to fight with college students across the country, but also to be wary of bad people. A poor student like me who has not even been admitted to a prestigious high school, can you still expect to turn over after work?"

Chen Xuan shook his head: "You can't say that. You who are engaged in education should have heard this saying, "Choose a prestigious school for undergraduates, choose a master's major, and choose a doctoral supervisor." Many high school students are actually confused during the college entrance examination and don't know what they like and what career they will pursue in the future. Teachers and parents are also confused and will only follow the trend to follow the trend to apply for some prestigious schools within their ability based on the student's scores. This has led to high-scoring candidates rushing to famous schools, and the admission scores of prestigious schools remain high."

Huang Tongyuan was a little puzzled: "Don't you go to a prestigious school if you have high scores?"

"High scores only mean that he has a better study in the previous stage. He has a greater choice when registering for the college entrance examination and is qualified to enter a prestigious school. It does not mean that he must go to a prestigious school. It seems that some girls have good grades. Perhaps her biggest hobby is fashion design or photography art. If you ask her to study nuclear physics at Jingshi University, it will be a torture for her, and it may also make people who really like nuclear physics lose the opportunity to study. In this case, why not let that girl go to a professional art school and let people who really like nuclear physics go to Jingshi University?" Chen Xuan immediately changed the subject, "Of course, when you have not determined your direction, going to a prestigious school is indeed a good choice, because famous schools have a deep foundation and are full of famous teachers. In Ge Zi's words just now, it is to teach methods, change temperament, and quickly broaden their horizons and find their hobbies. Therefore, you need to choose a prestigious school for undergraduates."

“What about ‘master’s major’?”

"Although undergraduates are divided into majors, overall, the distinction between the majors under the first-level disciplines is not high. Except for a few core courses, they are either the public basic courses in the school such as Mandarin, Foreign Languages, Practice, and Sports, or the basic compulsory courses and major selection courses of the entire department are basically laid a foundation, so that many people change majors in their sophomore year, and there is no pressure to take the cross-professional postgraduate entrance examination after graduation. After four years of training and education, people who are interested in further studies have found the direction they are interested in either openly or secretly. This direction is usually very narrow, like mathematics, Mr. Hui, the head of our department, has done special statistics, Ge Zi, how many second-level and third-level disciplines are there?"

"There are 26 second-level disciplines under the first-level discipline of mathematics and nearly 150 third-level disciplines." Jiang Shuiyuan replied, "Mr. Hui has been to our Huaian Mansion and mentioned it to us."

Chen Xuan nodded cheerfully: "It's this number! With so many research directions, maybe I'm most interested in the anthesis of probability theory. What you are most interested in is the statistical inference in mathematical statistics, and what he is most interested in is the operator algebra in functional analysis. The major distinction comes out all of a sudden. When you are studying for a postgraduate and postgraduate entrance examination, each will target the most interested major and then choose the most awesome school of this major. This is called 'choosing major for masters'. It is also because of this that many unpopular majors in famous schools often have no interest in it, just like the ancient Chinese mathematics direction in the history of science and technology in our mathematics department, which has always been unsatisfied with students."

Mr. Ge curled his lips: "We are still unpopular? I have been busy picking up girls for four years in college and trading stocks, so I didn't go to other departments to go around, right? Let me tell you a few really unpopular ones, one is the African endangered language protection and research direction of the African Institute, one is the paleoecology direction of the Department of Biology, and the other is the Jurchen language direction of the Institute of Ethnic Ancient Characters. Especially the last one, it is said that scholars who can master Jurchen characters in the country are said to be no more than one-handed, and they are all students of the professor. That professor

The professor is over 80 years old and cannot recruit students every year. He always dislikes students who are not talented and have impure motivations. He often only needs to recruit a satisfactory student for seven or eight years. The professor's catchphrase is, 'I dare not die, because once I die, the whole subject will be gone'. When we were in college, a student happened to graduate and wanted to teach at Lingnan University. The old professor was very happy and said, 'From now on someone south of the Yangtze River can interpret Jurchen texts'. Think about it, how unpopular is this?"

Chen Xuan felt the defense: "I have been busy trading stocks for four years in college. As for picking up girls, are you polite me? Who doesn't know that the ratio of men and women in Jingshi University is five to one. A young man without family background, talent, talent, and appearance, will have a girlfriend? - But my opinion should be very different. If Miss Huang wants to study for a graduate degree at Jingshi University, as long as she chooses the right major, it will not be too difficult."

Huang Tongyuan was obviously very moved, and her expressions were complicated for a moment. Even a young man like Jiang Shuiyuan, who was not well-informed in the world, could see that she was fighting fiercely. Ge Juntian and Chen Xuan were also very tactful and did not speak. The four of them silently walked across the wind and rain bridge, and a playground that was several times larger than the standard stadium appeared in front of them.

In the afternoon, the warm sun shone in a slanted light, and many people were exercising. Huang Tongyuan suddenly woke up and realized that she was a little out of control. She said a little apologetically: "Those who came from famous schools are indeed very knowledgeable. Even those who studied higher education think that they are high-level and refreshing! What does Mr. Chen mean by "Selecting a PhD instructor"?"

"I want to make a special statement that I have never studied in the postgraduate degree, nor have I studied in the PhD. All these views come from the teachings of our teachers in the classroom. If there is any mistake in understanding, please ask Ms. Huang to correct me." Chen Xuan continued with a few humble words: "It is said that those who can successfully obtain a master's degree basically have no major problems in researching problems and exploring new knowledge. The reason for studying for a PhD,

I want to go more steadily and further under the guidance of my supervisor, try to target big topics and try to avoid detours. This requires the supervisor to have excellent vision and the temperament of a master. On the other hand, academics are also the world. Famous mentors are like the heads of famous sects. Not only are they rich in connections and many disciples, but they also have a large number of academic resources in their hands—”

"Academic Resources?" Jiang Shuiyuan heard a new word.

Mr. Ge rarely had a kind heart and took the initiative to help solve his doubts: "Academic resources are not a very standard term, but the meaning is very clear, which is the resources involved in academic research, such as academic material resources. When doing research, you must first have rich original materials, otherwise it will be difficult to achieve leading results. Just like the academic institutions that study oracle bone in the world, no matter how high the level is, it is not as good as the Jingshi University. The reason is very simple. More than 99% of the oracle bones in the world are stored in the Jiatianxia Museum. They are basically chewed by the school teachers. The valuable ones are hidden in their hands and will not be published for the time being. After thorough research, they will be gradually decrypted. No matter how much other people study, they will only follow the footsteps of others. How can they surpass them? "

Jiang Shuiyuan said in confusion: "Don't it be said that 'Academics are the public instruments of the world'?"

Mr. Ge said angrily: "Pediatric! Why did Chen Xuan just say 'Academics is also a world of martial arts'? Because there are worlds where there are people, and the academic community is no exception. Even the famous Sir Newton was unable to avoid the vulgarity. He fought Leibniz for the right to invent calculus, let alone others? If scholars who study scholars have a public heart, I am afraid that humans will fly out of the solar system a few hundred years ago! For example, the research resources for paper publication, the same hot issue is often the same as many scientific research institutions in the world are studying at the same time, and the progress is roughly the same. If you are an unknown researcher, even if you get any sudden success.

If you write it into a paper and send it to a magazine, the magazine may not pay attention to it or even publish it to you. Even if he thinks it is very important, he will send it to several reviewers for review and arrange the page after feedback. If you delay you for a few months, maybe someone else's research results will be published long ago. What if your supervisor is the editor-in-chief and deputy editor-in-chief of a magazine or journal? As long as he feels there is no problem, he can publish it directly and easily grab the first soup! Even when the supervisor reviews the manuscript, he found that a paper is very good, so he asked the student to change his mind and rewrite one and submit it to another magazine for the first time to publish it!"

"Ah? There is something like this!" Jiang Shuiyuan was surprised.

Chen Xuan said: "There are many such things! For example, when looking for a job, your supervisor is very famous and powerful, and you can easily get a teaching position for you; if your supervisor is ordinary, you can only make a living by yourself. For example, when applying for the National Natural Science Foundation of China, there are so many scientific researchers across the country, and there must be many similar topics. Why don't you give them to him? Mentors are very important factors, even decisive factors. Therefore, choosing a supervisor for a doctor is equivalent to finding a good coach and a good backer on the road of life. It is said that finding a good husband for a girl to get married is a second reincarnation. I can tell that a man can find a good mentor for a doctorate!"

Jiang Shuiyuan sighed: "I thought the university was a spotless ivory tower. It turned out that there were so many tricks in it!"
