You're Actually So Cultured?
"Hey…"
The old man was furious.
I wrote it wrong?
How many times have I written this poem?
How could it be wrong?
There were five mistakes.
Have you eaten?
" Hehe…Hehehe…" The old man was so angry that he put on a fake smile."Alright…you're cultured. Tell me what I wrote wrong…If you can tell me why, I'll take your surname!”
"No need!"
Liu Aiguo smiled and tried hard to recall the scene in his previous life. He took a deep breath and said,"" The second sentence, you wrote 'The bright mirror in the high hall grieves for the white-haired...'"
"Yes!" "What's wrong with that?" the old man asked.”
"It should be the sad white hair of the bright mirror by the bed…" Liu Aiguo said.
"You…"
The old man was so angry that his body trembled.
What kind of joke was this? In the entire Tang poem, it was the sad white hair of the bright mirror in the high hall, okay?
" Okay, okay, okay…" The old man said," I've heard you say it today. Continue!"”
"The second mistake," Liu Aiguo said,"in your poem, you said that the morning is like the blue hair, and the evening is like the snow…But I think the original poem should be like the morning is like the blue clouds, and the evening is like the snow…"
The old man's face darkened again.
Liu Aiguo ignored him and continued,""The third mistake, Master Cen, Dan Qiusheng, after these two sentences, there is no such thing as drinking, don't stop!”
" The fourth mistake. Since ancient times, sages have been lonely, and only the drinker has left his name. The original poem should be that since ancient times, sages have died, and only the drinker has left his name…"
Liu Aiguo smiled and stood at the side.
"What about the fifth place?" the old man asked in astonishment.”
"The fifth part is the name of your poem. It's not called 'will enter the wine', but' cherish the empty goblet…"
"Nonsense!"
The old man said," The poem,'Let's Drink' was written by Li Taibai. It was first recorded in the Collection of Heroic Spirits of He Yue at the end of the Kaiyuan period. Later, this Collection of Heroic Spirits of He Yue was included in all the Tang poems. It didn't change at all. It's 'Let's Drink!'”
"However, in the notes, it was said that it was empty, but whether it was empty or not, there was no way to verify it!”
"Really?"
Liu Aiguo's lips curved into a smile,""Then I'm afraid you haven't seen a handwritten copy of the collection of Dunhuang poems, right? In this manuscript, this poem is called 'Xi Zun Kong', and the five mistakes I mentioned are derived from the collection of Dunhuang poems!”
"Dunhuang Poetry Collection?" The old man frowned and asked,"What is this?"”
"It's also a book from the Kaiyuan period of the Tang Dynasty. It was written almost at the same time as the collection of the heroes of the river and mountains you mentioned!"”
"That's it!"
The old man said," Since the book was written at the same time and recorded two different kinds of Li Bai's wine, why should I be the one who wrote the wrong one and not yours?!"”
"Because…"
" I'm talking about the manuscript of the collection of poems from Dunhuang," Liu Aiguo said." It's a manuscript…It was passed down from the Kaiyuan period of the Tang Dynasty. It was only a dozen years ago when Li Bai wrote this poem!"”
"But…the Heroic Spirit Collection of He Yue and the Complete Tang Poetry that you mentioned are not!”
"The collection of heroic spirits of He Yue that we can see now doesn't have the Tang Dynasty version. It's all the Song Dynasty version…In other words, what we're seeing is the Song Dynasty's version of the poem after it's been edited and edited!”
"According to the principle of poetry archeology, the most recent one shall be used!”
"Then…it should be the first edition of the Dunhuang Poetry Collection!”
The old man was stunned.
Liu Aiguo's words were clear and logical, so it was obvious that he was not making it up.
Was there really such a version?
If there really was, then this poem would really be unrecognizable.
"Then…"
" What?" The old man was stunned." Then why did the Song people change the original version?"
There were only two reasons for the changes in the version.
One was that someone had deliberately changed it.
One was that he had made a mistake when copying and engraving.
However, according to the mistakes Liu Aiguo had just mentioned, it was obvious that there was no mistake.
It was intentional.
After all, you couldn't get Shi's name wrong, could you?
Obviously, someone had tampered with it.
But why did he tamper with it? It didn't make sense.
"Old sir, you should be familiar with history, right?" Liu Aiguo said."The Song Dynasty was the peak of Confucianism, and Confucianism reached its peak. At that time, no one was allowed to disrespect the words of the Sage, even if he was Li Bai!”
"Since ancient times, all sages have died. Isn't this a little disrespectful to the ancient sages?”
"My guess is that Song changed Li Bai's poem completely for this purpose!”
"That makes sense!"
"That makes sense!"
"That makes sense!"
The old man stood rooted to the ground in a daze. After saying that it made sense three times in a row, he picked up the small bucket and left in a hurry.
Needless to say, he had lost his mind to read the ancient records.
Liu Aiguo didn't know that his unintentional action had a slight impact on the teaching materials of later generations.
However, this was all for the future.
" Hehe..." Liu Aiguo laughed and said,"" This damned old man is finally gone…Come, Yu Li, let's continue talking…"
"Yes, yes, yes…"
When Yu Li looked at Liu Aiguo again, her eyes were sparkling and full of surprise.
She never expected Liu Aiguo to be so knowledgeable in addition to being handsome, rich, and tall.
Even that old scholar with the printed handwriting was defeated by him.
"You're really knowledgeable!" "Liu Aiguo, if we get married one day, will you despise me?" Yu Li said sourly.
"Impossible!"
"What knowledge?" Liu Aiguo said,"Knowledge can't give me children, right?"”
"Go to hell!"
Yu Li rolled her eyes at him.”
But then, she said," Later…next week. Come to my house…to meet my mother. If she agrees, I have no objections!"”
Yu Li's face turned red to her ears.
Aiguo Liu was overjoyed, this meant that the girl had agreed.
Hahaha!
Yu Li, it's mine!
