Chapter 323 Do You Know What Confucius Said

Originally, in Lin Wenyuan's vision, the dialogue between science and literature was led by two Nobel Prize winners. Zhang Zhong is now very popular, young, and has a large audience abroad, so let him accompany him. mascot.

It's just that in the current situation, it's not very convenient for He Kelan to communicate with the other two people because of the language problem, and the situation has gradually become dominated by Zhang Zhong and Yang Fan.

Yang Fan said: "Two years ago, Mr. Fang Keyin presented me with a painting. There was a small poem on the painting. I remember very clearly one of the lines, which is called 'True Feelings and Wonderful Enlightenment Cast Articles'. This is not only a description of The process of creating the article also clearly shows the whole process of scientific research. First, there must be true feelings. What is true feeling? It means that you have a strong interest in this thing. Only when you have true feelings can you work hard, and then you need enlightenment. Only then can you get the progress you want.”

He Kelan couldn't talk about this topic, because he didn't know who Fang Keyin was.This is not to say that Fang Keyin's fame is limited to the country, but if you don't pay attention to painting, even Chinese people have never heard of the name Fang Keyin.

Zhang Zhong also learned to paint because of Peng Peng, and he paid more attention to it, so he knew who Fang Keyin was.

Furthermore, Fang Keyin's sentence "True Feelings and Wonderful Enlightenment Cast Articles" is somewhat difficult to translate, especially the word "article" at the end.

Everyone in China knows that the word "article" does not only refer to works of various styles, but also has a broad interpretation, such as "knowledge", "mystery" and so on.

It is very difficult to find a word that can replace "article" in French.

He Kelan's translation was heard through the earphones, and other people didn't know how to translate it. Even if they heard it, most of them couldn't understand it.

Zhang Chong's French is very poor. Even if he heard it, he couldn't judge how well the other party translated it. Maybe what He Kelan heard was very different from what Yang Fan wanted to express. This is the problem of translation. Before He Kelan himself also mentioned.

He Kelan couldn't answer the question, so Zhang Zhong could only take the initiative to speak: "I also remembered two sentences, both of which are French proverbs. The first sentence is 'a question mark is the key to any science', and the second sentence is It is "If you want to acquire scientific knowledge, you have to learn from the alphabet", I think these two sentences can be used to describe science and literature. Whether you are a scientist or a writer, the initial motivation comes from the question mark. If a person If there is no doubt in my heart, I am afraid that neither science nor literature can do well. With question marks, one must have a foundation. Many, he is half illiterate, and some friends like to call him a genius, I think, even a genius like Mr Wang Yi can't just write books without knowing how to read."

Zhang Zhong made a joke of Wang Yi, which made everyone laugh.

Underneath, Zhuang Yu smiled and said to Wang Yi, "It turns out that you are deliberately showing off by saying that you are illiterate every day, but I never heard it before."

Liu Yuan also said, "In ancient times, half of Prime Minister Zhao's Analects ruled the world, but now you, Wang Yi, use five hundred words to make a fuss. Disrespect and disrespect."

The stalk of five hundred commonly used characters was mentioned by a scholar before. After studying Wang Yi's works, the scholar came to the conclusion that there were only five hundred Chinese characters that frequently appeared in Wang Yi's works.

In fact, although there are many Chinese characters, there are only a few hundred commonly used characters that novelists can use when using them. Not only Wang Yi, but everyone else is similar.

After Zhang Zhong finished speaking, Fang Yingwu looked at Zhang Zhong gratefully. He was actually afraid that He Kelan would be left out in the cold and make the scene awkward, but now Zhang Zhong suddenly threw out two French proverbs, which was equivalent to throwing the topic to the public. He Kelan.

At the same time, he was also a little ashamed, obviously he was the host, but Zhang Zhong did the job.

Sure enough, after He Kelan listened to the translation in the earphones, he said with a smile, "Unexpectedly, pz even knows our French proverbs. The Mr. Wang Yi you just mentioned reminds me of a novelist in our France. His name is Adrian, there are very few uncommon words in his novels."

Everyone here knows Adrian, because Adrian is the winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature the year before and is also the most famous realist writer today.

Fang Yingwu said, "Just now Zhang Zhong mentioned the geniuses of heaven, I really want to ask the three of them what they think of geniuses. In the eyes of everyone, the three must be out-and-out geniuses. I believe in geniuses." It exists. I don’t know if the three believe it or not.”

Zhang Chong said with a smile, "In my opinion, Mr. Yang and Mr. He Kelan must be geniuses. Both of them have won the most noble laurels in their industries. This in itself is a symbol of genius."

But He Kelan smiled and said, "I think, in terms of being a genius, Mr. Yang and pz should be more in line. Someone like me is just a lucky one."

Zhang Zhong smiled silently in his heart, if he were to say he was lucky, none of the ten He Kelans was as lucky as himself.

If it is said that the things of a genius are all given by God, then Zhang Zhong can be regarded as an out-and-out genius, and he himself has more than others.

Hearing the word genius, Yang Fan chuckled, "In fact, there are many geniuses, but most of them don't have good luck. Mr. He Kelan said he was lucky, but in fact, no one is lucky. If it is not good luck, no matter how excellent Geniuses will also be submerged in the crowd, and our current education is not perfect. In fact, until now, there is no education model that is perfect, so most of the geniuses are a little less lucky, and they lack the guidance to develop their interests people."

When Yang Fan mentioned education, Fang Yingwu continued, "It happened that Mr. Yang mentioned the matter of talent cultivation, so I would like to ask the three of you for your opinions and suggestions on the current Chinese education system."

Hearing Fang Yingwu raise this question, Zhang Zhong narrowed his eyes, but did not speak.

This time it was He Kelan who spoke first, "Actually, I don't know much about Huaxia's education system. Since I don't know much, I can't give any advice. I think the other two present here, Mr. Yang and pz, should have some good ideas." opinion."

Yang Fan leaned back, looked first at Fang Yingwu, then at Zhang Zhong, and said, "Let me answer this question. There is a passage in the Analects of Confucius in which Zilu and Ran You asked Confucius the same question one after another. , but Confucius gave them two different answers. Gong Xihua asked Confucius why he did this, Mr. Fang Yingwu, do you know what Confucius answered at that time?"
