Xu Jialu is a master of exegetics in China today. Although this subject is very obscure and boring, more than 200 students took this course in one semester because of his rigorous scholarship during his teaching at Beijing Normal University.
Yu Dan, a talented woman of Beijing Normal University who is famous for her lecture on The Analects of Confucius, is also one of them. When talking about Mr. Xu Jialu, Yu Dan said something fresh in his memory. Xu teacher came to the classroom early, and then stood there for 50 minutes.
With one exception, he came into the classroom with a dignified expression. After talking for more than 20 minutes, he said, "I'm really sorry, classmates, I can't go on today." Because Mr. Lu Dasong was dying, he was the teacher who benefited the most when I was in college.
He is also a disciple of Zhang Taiyan. I must get there at once. In this case, I stand here in a daze and can't go on, so I have to owe my classmates half a class. I'll find a chance to make up for it later. "Say that finish, xu teacher went away.
Yu Dan said that after xu teacher left, the students all cried. Everyone can understand Mr. Xu's feelings. He didn't want to delay our class, so he didn't adjust the class and insisted on giving us classes. However, his feelings for the teacher made it difficult for him to persist.
2. Qu Qiubai's wit.
In the early 1920s, Zheng Zhenduo got married in Shanghai, and the bride was Gao Junzhen, the daughter of Gao, a veteran of the Commercial Press. The wedding adopted the most fashionable "civilized wedding" ceremony at that time. According to etiquette, both parents of the married person must affix their personal seals to the marriage certificate.
Take it as a sign. The day before the wedding, Zheng Zhenduo remembered that her mother had not printed the letter, so she wrote to Qu Qiubai to handle it for a rainy day. On the same day, I received a reply from Qu Qiubai, but there was no letterhead, only a piece of "Autumn White Seal Carving".
It says, "Lithography costs two yuan per word, and you can get it once a week. Time-limited dispatch, double embellishment. The side section is almost two yuan, not counting words. Tooth seal, crystal seal and bronze seal are discussed separately. " When Zheng Zhenduo saw it, he thought it was an excuse for Qu Qiubai to be busy carving.
Ask someone else to carve one side for use. The next morning, when the wedding was about to begin, someone sent a red wedding gift package, which read: "Mr. Jindo and Ms. Junzhen got married and gave 50 yuan as a gift. Qu Qiubai. " There is no cash or gift certificate in the wedding bag.
This is a three-way lithograph. One party is Mrs. Zheng's; The rest are the bride and groom. Mrs. Zheng's single chapter is slightly larger, the bride and groom are combined into a pair, and the word "Changle" is engraved on the side to congratulate the newcomer Changle Yongkang and grow old together.
Zheng Zhenduo and Gao Junzhen, both from Changle County, Fujian Province, meant a pun. The three chapters are exquisite and elegant, and the master understands the truth of the book "fifty yuan a gift" after enjoying the play. The original three chapters are engraved with the word 12, and the touch-up should be 24 yuan.
Double dispatch is 48 yuan; Border currency 2 yuan, hence the name "50 yuan as a gift". Qu Qiubai's unexpected joy added a special festive atmosphere to Gao Zheng's wedding, which became a much-told story for a while.
3. Copernicus's curious childhood
Copernicus, a great Polish astronomer, liked to ask questions when he was a child. He is full of curiosity about the world and often pesters his parents to ask questions: Why does the sun always rise in the east and set in the west?
There are so many stars in the clear night sky, why don't they disappear during the day? Why does the chicken come out of the egg, not from the hen's stomach ... Copernicus's unremitting exploration of scientific mysteries later began with these strange "why".
Song Lian braved the heavy snow to visit the teacher.
Song Lian, a famous essayist and scholar in Ming Dynasty, was fond of learning since childhood. He was not only knowledgeable, but also wrote excellent articles, and was praised by Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, as the "head of the founding civil servants". Song Lian loves reading very much, and those who don't understand always get to the bottom of it.
This time, in order to find out a problem, Song Lian walked dozens of miles in the snow to consult Ji Meng, a teacher who had stopped accepting students, but the teacher was not at home. Undaunted, Song Lian visited the teacher again a few days later, but the teacher didn't see him.
Because of the cold weather, Song Lian and her companions were freezing, and Song Lian's toes were frostbitten. Song Lian was rescued when he fell into a snow pit during his third solo visit. When Song Lian nearly fainted in front of the teacher's house.
The teacher was moved by his sincerity and patiently answered Song Lian's questions. Later, in order to gain more knowledge, Song Lian visited many teachers and became a famous essayist.
5, Zuo Sizhi
Zuo Si, a writer in the Western Jin Dynasty, read Zhang Heng's Fu for Two Cities when he was a teenager, and was deeply inspired. He is determined to write Sandu Fu in the future. Lu Ji couldn't help clapping his hands and laughing, saying that a layman like Zuo Si had come up with such a masterpiece.
This is a joke; Even if it is painstakingly written, it must be worthless and only suitable for making jars. Faced with such humiliation, Zuo Si made up his mind. He heard that Zhang Zai, a writer, had been to Min and Qiong (present-day Sichuan), so he visited for advice many times.
So as to be familiar with the local mountains and rivers, products, customs and customs. He visited extensively and collected a lot of materials, and then devoted himself to writing. There are papers and pens everywhere in his room, beside the fence and in the toilet.
As long as he thinks of good words, he writes them down and revises them again and again. Zuo Si worked hard for ten years and finally finished Sandu Fu. Lu Ji was surprised and admired, so he had to give up.
