On the stage, under the spotlight.
A graceful and handsome big boy spoke frankly.
"In the past, I followed the notes of my predecessors and also believed that Du Fu's poems from 712 to 735 were not preserved. However, I have now changed my view and believe that this song,"Meeting Li Guinian in Jiangnan", is dated to 735, or even earlier. As I said before, I believe that the charm of this poem should have been written during Du Fu's travels to the southeast…"
Li Fan was talking excitedly until he realized that more than 1000 pairs of eyes in the studio were staring at him and he was in a state of complete confusion. He said awkwardly,"I'm sorry, everyone.”
"Actually, many people in the academic world believe that 'Looking at the Mountain' is Du Fu's earliest existing work. Your point of view is very novel!"”
Elder Xiao immediately threw out his opinion."Actually, I don't think the earliest work was 'Overlooking the Mountain'.' Night Banquet at Zuo's Manor 'should be the first one: The wind blew and the moon fell, and the clothes were still. Dark water flows through the path of flowers, and spring stars belt the thatched cottage. The candle is short when reading books, and the cup is long when reading swords. After the poem, I heard Wu Yong's words, and I never forgot the meaning of the boat.”
" Du Fu has been traveling in the south for a few years," Elder Xiao explained after reciting the poem." He might have learned enough of the Wu dialect to understand the Wu hymn. I tend to think that if this poem is set in the late spring of 735, when his southern travels ended, it will become very meaningful. According to your analysis, it might not be the same between these two poems.”
"Elder Xiao, I think what you said makes sense. However, he wasn't sure if he could hear Wu Yong in other places. Checking the books only when the exam was approaching, like some examinees who were cramming at the last minute, did not seem like Du Fu's style. It was very cumbersome to bring many scrolls and books when traveling in other places. From this point of view, the Night Banquet at Zuo's Village was probably not written in the late spring of 735, after the end of his journey to the south, but more likely later.”
Elder Xiao fell silent for a moment and fell into deep thought.
" There are more than 1,400 poems of the Poet Saint Du Fu, most of which were written after he was forty years old. In fact, Du Fu had been engaged in poetry creation for a long time. At the age of seven, he was strong and began to chant phoenix poems. By the age of fourteen or fifteen, he had already traveled to the calligraphy field and made a name for himself in the local poetry world. Later on, there was a reputation like 'Li Yong seeks to meet, Wang Han is willing to be a neighbor...'"
The guest teachers did not speak or interrupt. They just listened quietly. Occasionally, they would frown, occasionally show surprise, and occasionally shake their heads in disagreement.
The audience was dumbfounded. They didn't know who was right and who was wrong.
"Which poem was Du Fu's earliest work?”
"Who should I ask? I'm illiterate!"
……
"Who do you think is right?"
"Li Fan!"
"Why?"
"Remember, whoever is talkative is in the right!”
……
"Do you understand?"
"No!"
"Then what are you thinking about?"
"I regret not studying more!"
……
In fact, there was no absolute right or wrong in studying the ancients or history. Li Fan had his own thoughts and analysis. He had read too many books. After all, he was a rat in Peking University's library in his previous life. He had his reasons and reasoning. This analysis gave the teachers a new way of thinking.
As Li Fan spoke, he suddenly realized that something was wrong. It was a little too much. After all, this was the recording site of the idiom convention.
He hurriedly stopped and said,"Teachers, this is my clumsy idea. Everyone, please see it!"”
Elder Xiao let go of his focused gaze and chuckled,""It's not bad at all. Your idea is very novel and reasonable. Of course, this doesn't mean that your analysis is correct. After all, history or history books could be fake. We all have our own opinions. However, I'll give you a thumbs up for what you said. It gave me new enlightenment.”
Li Fan quickly said,"Elder Xiao, you're killing me."”
"Alright, let's discuss this in private.”
"I dare not accept it!"
The two of them complimented each other.
Zhang Lei, a professor of ancient literature at Beijing University, had a feeling that this kid seemed to have the ability to be a professor. When he had this feeling, he immediately forced himself to calm down. What was he thinking? This was just a genius youth with his own insights.
However, Teacher Xiaoling was a little dazed. This…could be taught to her. She could not reach this realm at all!
The three guest teachers took the lead in clapping.
The applause was warm and long, mixed with cheers and envy!
To be able to discuss academic issues with the dean of a famous university's Faculty of Arts was too eye-catching. Regardless of whether what he said was right or wrong, at least he could say it out loud and explain himself. Moreover, judging from Elder Xiao's meaning and the expressions of the guest teachers, it should be very reasonable.
Thinking about themselves, the audience felt embarrassed. How could they communicate with the dean when they met? -- "Have you eaten?" "You're quite healthy, aren't you?" How old are you this year?" That's all, right?
The applause stopped and Jia Yun quickly pulled back the rhythm."Oh right, this isn't 'Lecture Room', this is' Chinese Idiom Conclave'. The competition will continue now.”
With such a small episode, the direction of the entire competition had completely changed. Teacher Xiaoling and Gu Yating seemed to have not yet recovered from Li Fan's " theory ", but in the end...
"The idiom is as beautiful as flowers and jade. A, like a dream, like a flower, but not a flower; B, that person's son, as beautiful as jade;C, fallen petals colorful, beautiful jade beauty. Please answer first!"
Bang! Green light!
Li Fan said in a clear voice,"B, his son is as beautiful as jade."”
"Alright, congratulations to Li Fan and Peng Ren for winning with 3:1 successfully defended the arena once again, taking down six cities in a row with his own strength!”After Jia Yun finished speaking, she was filled with emotion." Strength, this is unquestionable strength!”She then turned to Teacher Xiaoling and Gu Yating." I think you two are a little slow. Don't you know the original sentence?”
Teacher Xiaoling said frankly," I know, but I didn't realize it. This idiom comes from the Book of Songs."”
Gu Yating said,"I didn't react in time either. My mind is a little messy."”
"Were you stunned by his analysis of Du Fu's first poem?" Jia Yun asked.”
Teacher Xiaoling nodded. Deceiving your master and destroying your ancestors!"
"What did I say? We can't be friends anymore. Congratulations to Li Fan/Peng Ren.”
As soon as Li Fan and Peng Rengang returned to the team, the team members were so excited that they almost pounced on them. Even Huang Dan, who was in the last row, looked up from time to time.
"This is awesome!"
"Stand till the end, brother!"
"With the two of you in our team, the entire team will definitely advance!”
……
Seeing that Wang Liang was going to give him another kiss on his forehead, Li Fan quickly left. What kind of beast was this!
