Chapter 61 Travel Notes
"Sister, let me ask you, if when I graduate from my undergraduate degree, I use this topic as my graduation thesis, starting from the major of comparative literature, to prove my argument..." Zhou Zhi asked with great interest: "What do you think?
What grade should the instructor give my paper?"
"This...this..." Chi Xueli stammered. She also graduated from a related major. Her graduation thesis, regardless of its ideological level, research depth and breadth of vision, was far inferior to this topic.
…
Why has no one mentioned the proposition "Li Shangyin is the founder of stream-of-consciousness literature" until now?
Because even the instructors have never thought about it from this perspective!
Seeing that Chi Xueli understood, Zhou Zhi smiled and said: "So this article will have to be written six years later to realize its maximum value."
After speaking, he said seriously to the two of them: "I told you in advance today, you must keep it a secret!"
Yang He's eyes were full of tears when he heard it, and he thought that if you said this, I would forget everything after leaving this garden.
Chi Xueli thought of a question and asked worriedly: "Elbow... then... what if... someone... also thought of this in advance?"
"Then of course I will be happy for that person." Zhou Zhi said very easily: "Then we will change the subject!"
"...!"
A trip made Chi Xueli feel very comfortable. The presence of a tour guide was indeed important. Even an abandoned garden or two tombs could turn it into a cultural trip.
In order to thank Zhou Zhi for his efforts, Chi Xueli took Zhou Zhi and Yang He to Jinjiang Hotel for a Western meal.
Back at the guest house, Yang He was still struggling with the morning's set of questions, so he recalled a way to solve the problem.
Zhou Zhi opened his notebook and began to conceive of the essay that Chi Xueli requested, "Travel Notes to Wangcong Temple".
In fact, this is also an essay, but it is an essay that combines travel and history.
The biggest taboo in historical essays and cultural essays is to moan without reason.
In such an essay, the description of scenery and the popularization of historical science need to be skillfully connected with the author's thoughts and associations. In addition to the writing style, some "cold facts" are thrown out from time to time, which are also some tips to attract readers.
Also, all kinds of citations need to indicate the source. Some skeptical and studious readers really want to "follow the pictures to find out what is going on."
In fact, such readers are Zhou Zhi's favorite readers. In the historical novel of the previous life, everyone enthusiastically discussed the authenticity of an allusion in the comment area. Zhou Zhi welcomed this kind of thing very much.
Some readers are so advanced that they can verify the year of creation of a poem by Da Su. Sometimes Zhou Zhi even goes to the poem in person to humbly ask for advice.
In fact, this kind of article is what Zhou Zhi is best at. As he continued to write, Zhou Zhi suddenly thought of a question. If he writes a history paper in the college entrance examination composition, can he get high scores as long as he can fit the topic?
The content of 3,000 words is basically what I was talking about as a tour guide today, and I don’t have to think about more material, so it’s very relaxing.
After finishing writing, Yang He was still struggling with the difficult problem.
…
…
The next day was Monday, Zhou Zhi came to the TV station, and Chi Xueli took him to the station director.
The director said to Zhou Zhi: "Classmate Zhou Zhi, we have completed the 'reward' for you."
"Thank you, uncle. They say that journalists are the 'uncrowned kings'. Journalists are really capable. We came to Sister Chi and Uncle Chi, and we really found the right person."
After saying that, he took Yang He and bowed to the director.
The station director also opened his cabinet: "Xue Li should have told you yesterday that the parents of Li Bing, the top student in the college entrance examination of No. 4 Middle School, agreed to give you a complete set of study materials and notes."
"Yes, please also ask the station director to convey our gratitude for us. We must follow the example of brother Li Bing and learn from it!"
"I also got some here, including a set of secret mathematics papers from No. 7 Middle School, but this thing is a bit sensitive and the school protects it a bit strictly."
"I will give this set of papers to you alone. If you want to give it to your classmates, remember, it is best not to have the original question appear. Change the numbers and the conditions. Do you understand?"
"Understand, this is to protect uncle's comrades who are engaged in secret work in No. 7 Middle School, and we can continue to obtain information in the future."
"Hahahaha, you sneaky little guy... I guess that's about the same thing, just understand." The station director smiled and took out another iron box: "Of course, our TV station will benefit from your ideas, just collect some
If the information is handed over to you, then it is called work but no effort."
"In order to express our concern for the students of Jiachuan Middle School, we took advantage of our own advantages and entrusted E Film Studio to turn Li Bing's notes into slides."
"We are worried that your school's equipment is not advanced enough and may not be able to play large-size films. Our Taiwan Party Committee has decided to give your school a large-size slide film player as a gift!"
"Ah?!" Zhou Zhi was really surprised by this: "Thank you, Uncle Director! You are so kind!"
"These things are quite heavy when combined," the director said, "so we prepared a vehicle to take you, the slide projector, and the installation and debugging personnel to Jiachuan."
"Thank you! Thank you uncle!"
"Okay, then, classmate Zhou Zhi, classmate Yang He, goodbye! I hope that when I see you again, you will have achieved academic success and become the pillars of the country!"
"Thank you uncle! We will, see you uncle!"
While the director was talking to Zhou Zhi and the others, Chi Xueli was reading the travel notes given to her by Zhou Zhi. She raised her head when she heard goodbye: "Then director, I will take the children downstairs. Come here, my elbow."
Who wrote the poem? Why can I read other allusions but not this poem?"
The station director asked: "Xue Li, what do you have in your hand?"
Chi Xueli said: "Yesterday I originally took my elbows out to play, but he ended up taking me and guiding me around to see Cong Temple. The director's place is really nice. Next time we have a team-building activity in Taili, I suggest that we go there
Do it there.”
"First, let's talk about what you have in your hand. Is it an article?"
"Well, on the way back, I suggested that Jiuzi write an article based on what he talked about during our tour. Unexpectedly, this kid finished it in one night."
"Really? Show me."
It doesn’t take long to read something with three thousand words. At the end of the article, it ends with a poem that came to the author’s mind involuntarily on the way back.
When I saw the first sentence, the station director couldn't help but snap: "It's so grand!"
The snow in Minshan Mountain is clearing and the clouds are flying, and the jade cuckoos are singing in Shu.
The tomb of Qingwang is surrounded by thorn bushes, and is adjacent to the Green Ling Pond in Pingshui.
Opening up rivers and opening up land is a labor of love; leading the fields to cultivate the fields leads to weeping and bloodshed.
The remnants of the ruins are still under the present street, and people on the outside still visit the old royal temple.
After reading it, the director smiled and said: "I agree with Xue Li's opinion. The sources of other allusions and quotations have been stated. This ending is so important, how can we not indicate the poet?"
"Sister Chi and Uncle Director, we can't mark it because this poem was originally written by me."
"...!"
"...!"
The director was really shocked. This poem was completely in the style of poetry of the Tang Dynasty. It was not out of place at all if it was included in "Poems of the Tang Dynasty".
I and Xue Li took it for granted that it was the work of the ancients, but the sixteen-year-old boy in front of me actually said that it was his own creation!
The most popular "ancient poems" nowadays are "revolutionary poems". To put it bluntly, they are the kind of poems that the leaders "speak well of in unison for reform and opening up, and the whole country of China laughs together", and they are still widely published in various publications.
Chi Xueli felt that she had already admired the child in front of her infinitely, and she did not expect Zhou Zhi to be able to write ancient poems and achieve such a level!
"Zhou Zhi, don't lie to me. This poem was really written by you?"
"Sister, my writing is not good, please give me some advice." Zhou Zhilao was humble.
"..."
After yesterday's tour guide, Chi Xueli began to believe Zhou Zhi's statement. After all, the poem itself is the perfect condensation of this travelogue.
However, the director still didn't believe it: "Come on, come on, elbow, come and explain to me your creative ideas."
Next, Zhou Zhi told the director about this poem, "The Snow of Min Mountain is Dissolving" and "The Sound of the Jade Cuckoo" are actually writing routines, marking the time and place of the establishment of Shu by the two emperors, and also hiding the character of Du Yu.
It also hinted at the coming flood after Du Yu founded the country.
As for "Wang Tomb" and "Lingchi", they refer to the scenery in the temple, Emperor Wang's mausoleum and Emperor Cong's turtle spirit pond. However, they describe that there are thorns on the tomb and the water in the pond is too little. This is a subtle criticism of the local area.
The protection of important cultural relics has not been done well.
The following couplet is about the two emperors who opened up the Sichuan Plain and promoted farming civilization, and their achievements before and after life. However, the allusion of "cuckoo cries blood" was connected by Zhou Zhi with "cuckoo urging farming", giving it another layer of meaning.
Positive meaning.
The last couplet makes it easier to understand. Although the original stele has been broken and there is no trace of it anymore, the achievements of the two emperors are in the middle of the rice fields that spread to the horizon, and there is no need for other things to decorate it.
Even though their mausoleums and memorial gardens no longer have the dignity of the past, there are still beneficiaries who remember their achievements and come from far away to pay their respects.
Zhou Zhi's hometown, Jiachuan, is the border between Bashu and Bashu. Therefore, it is appropriate for Zhou Zhi to call the two emperors the "old king" and the "borderman".
The word "province" is especially used by Shu talents, and it has a hint of the admiration of the younger generation for their elders.
At this point in the explanation, the director already understood that this poem could only have been written by Zhou Zhi himself.
He couldn't help but laugh and said: "It's true that the waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead. What's the matter, where are you going to submit this article?"
Chi Xueli took the manuscript and rolled his eyes at Zhou Zhi: "The great writer is very arrogant. I begged him to write this article. I don't dare to trouble him for the rest."
Zhou Zhinan smiled and said: "I took a lot of photos of Sister Chi yesterday. If I choose a few and publish them together with this article, I think the effect will be better."
Chi Xueli was stunned: "When?"
"When Sister Chi was listening to the explanation and looking at the cultural relics, why else would the camera come to my neck?"
"you!"
Chapter completed!
