The passage Xu Qing pointed out is this -

"Wow!" the dish was put out of the pot, and the water on the dish filled the pot with the boiling oil. Mrs. Cai's spatula was stirring the dishes very delicately, sprinkling salt while turning her head with a smile.

Xiang Luo spoke crookedly, but his voice was muffled by Cai's shouts.

It’s quite a beautiful paragraph. Reading something so original will definitely help the actors to deeply understand the story. However, because it is in dialect, it does increase the difficulty of understanding.

Zhou Zhi smiled and said: "Sister Qing, what you are confused about is a passive sentence pattern in a dialect. In the script, the phrase 'water is fried in boiling oil until the pot is filled with screams', is understood to mean 'water spots are fried in boiling oil until the pot is filled with screams'

'That's it."

"Our Jiachuan dialect is a southwestern Mandarin dialect. There are six types of marked passive sentences. The most commonly used is the word 'zhu'. It is a 'passive mark' in grammar."

"I have a sentence here that can fully understand the six passive characteristic sentence patterns of Sichuan dialect in one go."

"The first one is: I'll eat you up until you're done."

"The code is eaten up" means complete oppression. In Sichuan dialect, this phrase is formed as a parallel form of a verb plus a complement. It can only be used in passive sentences or as a complement.

So there are only two ways to use it. You can say - I am eaten up by your code, and you eat up my code. But it can never be used in an active sentence, to say - I can eat you up by my code."

"Because of the special nature of this phrase, all passive marker sentence patterns in the dialect can be incorporated into it."

"The second commonly used passive sentence pattern is 'give', I will give it to you and eat it up."

"'Yes', I want you to eat all of it."

"'Take it', I'll give you a hard time and eat it up."

"'Jin', I will do my best to eat it all. Note that the word 'Jin' here is pronounced as 'tight', and it has the active meaning of 'giving' in it. This usage is the most special, and the frequency is also the lowest."

"Awesome, Xiao Zhi!" As soon as the expert took action, Ling Zhifeng knew that the young man in front of him was something special. Overjoyed, he followed Xu Qing and shouted: "This is no longer a simple translation and explanation, this is... this is a summary

Dialect and grammar are revealed!”

"Old Wu is reliable! So reliable! No wonder you became a writer at a young age! This is called professionalism!"

You Yong shouted: "Xiao Zhi, come on, come on, explain this paragraph again!"

"This is too inefficient." Zhou Zhi refused with a smile: "Grandpa Ling, I don't think it's better to do this. I'll give Sister Qing and the others half a day off today. Give me the notebook, and I'll give you the special information in it in one afternoon and one evening."

Is the grammar marked so that everyone can understand it easily?"

"Xiao Zhi, can you make it out?" Ling Zhifeng was a little surprised.

"Many of the usages in it are repeated. It shouldn't take too much time to write something with tens of thousands of words."

"Okay, then I'll leave it to my little fellow." Ling Zhifeng was very happy: "I really answered what You Yong said, Bashu is such a strange person! He is so capable at such a young age!"

"Grandpa Ye Xinling should be familiar with her, right? She is my classmate." Zhou Zhi said: "I also have some classmates who came with me. It is their first time to come to this ancient town. Why don't we all travel together and let Ye Xin introduce it to everyone?

one time."

"I came to inspect the filming location last year," said Ling Zhifeng, "but that was all work. My mind was full of footage, thinking about which scenes to use, but I really didn't really understand the style of the town."

"This is also helpful for shooting. Well, it's up to you. Let's have a holiday! Let's have a good time exploring this ancient town together!" After saying that, he patted Zhou Zhi's arm: "It's just a thank you for your hard work!"

"It's not hard work, it should be. This is the task assigned to me by my godfather. I will complete it with quality and quantity." Zhou Zhi said modestly: "When the time comes, together with Grandpa Ling, Sister Qing, Brother Yong, Brother Jun, Brother Jin, and us

Just take a few group photos and that will be your reward."

The last two later became well-known actors. Ling Zhifeng smiled and said: "Then let's make an agreement! Let's go, go to the hotel first and call Xinxin and your other classmates!"

When I came out of the house, I found that my friends had gathered outside the door. It turned out that Feng Xueshan and Ye Xin returned to the hotel and found that three people were missing. They put down their things and everyone went out to look for them. They found that they were chatting with the director.

One was hiding outside the window, listening and peeking.

"Hello Grandpa Ling!" Feng Xueshan was more generous, and she and Ye Xin took their friends to say hello to Ling Zhifeng.

"Look at the Feng Shui in my hometown!" Ling Zhifeng said with a smile: "Here comes another one! You Yong, Xu Qing, look at the little girl's complexion, how can she even use makeup? It's all fixed!"

"Hello everyone, your classmate Xiaozhi gave us half a day off and let Xinxin take us all to visit the ancient town, okay?"

Literary and art workers are very good at adjusting the atmosphere. Everyone applauded enthusiastically: "Okay!"

"Yan Xiao, you come with me and come back and bring the camera film!" Zhou Zhi took the bag from Zhang Xinyi and Jiang Shuyi and threw it to Yan Xiao: "Grandpa Ling, Sister Qing and Brother Yong, then I will follow you

See you at dinner!”

The two began to run back, and Yan Xiao asked: "Elbow, why did Grandpa Ling say you gave them a half-day holiday?"

"Don't worry about it. If you don't know how to play with the camera then, just give it to the crew. They are experts and have sweet mouths. Let them take some good photos of the girls!"

"Especially Jiang Shuyi, right? Don't worry, I understand!" Yan Xiao judged others with his own heart: "I spared you such a big circle, that's why! Elbow, you are so... awesome!"

The result of the exchange was that everyone went out to play, leaving Zhou Zhi alone to work overtime and mark the notebook.

Fortunately, there are mostly dialogues and only a few narrations, and many sentence patterns are repetitive grammar. Zhou Zhi has made a systematic summary of Jiachuan dialect grammar, and now it is very fast to revise it.

However, Ye Xin's parents heard their daughter talk about the magic of this child and heard that he wanted a quiet room to mark the script. They quickly took him to a small room facing the river and made tea for Zhou Zhi.

The river outside the window is like a soft green belt, with ancient bluestone piers, small stone bridges, stone steps, old willows, shrubs and bamboo forests on both sides of the bank, making it as beautiful as a traditional Chinese painting with landscapes.

There are many women washing clothes and shopping for vegetables by the small pier. There is a rope on the pier leading to the other side. A small wupeng ferry is next to the small stone bridge. The boatman can hold the rope and ferry people to the other side.

Go to the other side.

There were several children around the small awning boat and on the small stone bridge. They were all naked. After crawling out of the water, they ran onto the small bridge, then climbed over the stone railing and jumped into the water with a splash.

Far upstream of the creek, there were several buffaloes, with only their heads with curved horns exposed in the water. They looked at the laughing children with their big eyes with long eyelashes, and twitched their ears from time to time.

In such a scene, it seems that Zhou Zhi is comfortable marking his script.

His heart was moved. When Zhou Zhi looked up at the pier again, he saw that the river and the environment on both sides had been plated with the golden color of the sunset. The crew and friends had gathered there without knowing when, and old man Ling Zhifeng was there.

Smiling and talking to Ye Xin, You Yong was busy asking Xu Qing and his friends to take turns taking photos alone, and kept gesticulating with his hands, meaning to take a few more photos while the light was just right.

Everyone was busy, but Jiang Shuyi held Zhang Xinyi's hand, but turned her head to this side, looking at Zhou Zhi by the window on the wooden floor.

Zhou Zhi smiled and waved to Jiang Shuyi. Just as Jiang Shuyi was about to raise her hand, Zhang Xinyi pulled her and ran towards Xu Qing, who was no longer around. It was their turn to take a photo.

Zhou Zhi simply stopped writing and admired the excitement over there.

This scene is so beautiful.

That night, the friends were still playing outside, while the crew and Zhou Zhi gathered in a large room. Everyone sat at a small table with their notebooks. Zhou Zhi spread the marked notebook on the table and listened.

Zhou Zhi explains dialect grammar.

The next morning, Mu Ruyun came, riding a truck transporting wood from the forest farm.

When we arrived, we were having breakfast with the crew. The breakfast consisted of porridge, steamed buns, eggs, fried corn tortillas, pickled bamboo shoots, stir-fried peppers with black beans, shredded eggplant, fried cowpeas, etc.

After dinner, the crew wanted to continue studying the script. They heard that Zhou Zhi and his party were leaving, so they saw them off first. Ling Zhifeng also specially expressed his gratitude to Zhou Zhi.

When they heard that Zhou Zhi and the others were going to hike in the mountains for a few days, Xu Qing and You Yong were very envious.

Zhou Zhi smiled and asked his friends to remember this paragraph. After a few decades of bragging, they can say that all the big stars played with us, had dinner with us, and even envied us.

Before leaving, I also took a few photos of Mu Ruyun with the crew members who came after me.

This experience was told by the friends, and it became a thoughtful arrangement for big directors and movie actors to play with them.

After hearing this, Mu Ruyun was stunned for a moment: "How did Zhuzi know them? Their relationship is so good? They just listen to Zhuzi's arrangements?"

Zhou Zhi said with a smile: "Don't listen to their nonsense. It's just that Li Jieren wrote "Still Water Waves" in dialect. The crew's script was not smooth, so Grandpa Ling asked me to mark the grammar."

"Marking takes time. They have nothing to do anyway, so we can all take a vacation together."

"Why don't you tell everyone this story!" Fang Wenyu suggested: "Anyway, we are just chatting on the way, and everyone is very interested."

"That's right, Shu Yi and Xin Yi, especially you should listen carefully." Only then did Zhou Zhi remember an important thing: "Otherwise, if Aunt Du and Madam Zhao can't tell the truth when they ask about it when they get home, then it will be revealed."

"Still Water Waves" is a work that every Sichuan native should savor. It is the first of three consecutive novels written by Li Jieren starting in 1935. It describes the social life before the Revolution of 1911.

With Shuchuan as the background, the story takes place in Tianhui Town, not far from Shu.

The story begins with a child from a big city who returns to his hometown with his parents to hang a grave. He discovers a "wild doll" and he is still beautiful, charming, laughing, and clever, but is evaluated by the father of the child as "everything is good."
