The strongest brain in entertainment

Chapter 221 Opening

Inside the guest house.

The warm sunshine crawled onto the bed, gently stroking Li Fan's delicate cheeks.After rolling twice in a row, he finally opened his sleepy eyes.

Yesterday, he was tormented by Chenhua University, and then he was taken to the cafeteria by Mr. Sun from the admissions office, where he tasted the delicious snacks of Chenhua University. When he finally escaped and returned to the hostel, it was already past 9 o'clock in the evening , So I lay on the bed and woke up until dawn.

Like most people, the first thing Li Fan does when he wakes up is to pick up the mobile phone next to the bed, half-closed his eyes and read the news.

As usual, he first opened the "National Learning Times" app, flipped through it casually, and happened to see Gu Yating's "Research on "Ten Continents in the Sea"".

I never expected this article to be published so early, but it was not published in the famous column, but published as an ordinary author.

The general content of this article is: This is a collection of ancient Han mythology and strange novels, which is said to be written by Dongfang Shuo.However, the result of Gu Yating's comprehensive research is that this book was not written by Dongfang Shuo, and it is probably a fake book compiled by "good people from later generations" under the guise of Dongfang Shuo's name.

The arguments are as follows:

1: "Han Shu Dongfang Shuo Zhuan" does not mention this book, and it should not be mentioned in the official history.

2: The story of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty shooting a tiger in Hualin Garden in "The Ten Continents in the Sea" is a major bug.Because there is a saying in the later generations "Hualin Garden Collection Poems of Emperor Wu of Jin Dynasty": "Hualin Garden is located in the northeast corner of the city. Emperor Wei Ming named it Fanglin Garden, and Qi Wangfang changed it to Hualin." It was not written by Dongfang Shuo, but by later generations.

……

Li Fan didn't need to read the content of this work anymore, so he directly clicked on the comment area below.

The frying pan in the comment area:
"Wow, not only is she beautiful, but she is also talented. I have booked this wife."

"Although I don't quite understand it, I just think it looks amazing. Come on, Miss Gu."

"It is estimated that after Li Fan, another anti-counterfeiting madman has come online."

"The article is so well written, I would like to praise it with both hands and feet."

"Obviously you can rely on face, why do you have to rely on talent?"

……

Li Fan shook his head, what's wrong with you, brothers, are you just boasting after you understand the content?
As for why they boasted without understanding, the netizens behind gave the answer.

"Attention everyone, there is a 'special thanks' at the end of the article, it turns out that this article was pointed out by Li Fan, no wonder."

"It turns out that No. 1 in archaeological anti-counterfeiting is behind it, so this article is definitely full of gold."

"Looking at it like this, Gu Yating and Li Fan are obviously having an adulterous affair, the baby is not happy!"

"Li Fan, come out quickly and give us a reasonable explanation. What is your relationship?"

……

Li Fan quickly found the end of the article, looked carefully, and as expected, there was a sentence at the end of the article - "Special thanks to Li Fan for your guidance and correction, I can't help crying."

Well, you girl has a conscience!

Li Fan started to leave a message in the comment area, saying: "I didn't play any role in this article at all. Gu Yating is serious. She completed the entire article by herself."

As soon as Li Fan's comment came out, netizens immediately suppressed it.

"Surprised by the anti-counterfeiting maniac, hurry up, hold him down, don't let him get away!"

"I have met you during this period, Li Fan. I strongly ask for advice on what is true and what is false in history and literature."

"The upstairs is not comprehensive, but also includes science, medicine, astronomy, etc.! In a word, what we are interested in now is not what is fake, but what is true."

"+1!"

……

Netizens have been very uneasy recently, and everyone has been confused by various "textual research".

Since Li Fan started the "archaeological anti-counterfeiting", Li Fan is not the only one who is writing articles, and Li Fan has caused a wave of "ancient anti-counterfeiting craze".

Speaking of news editors alone, Li Fan’s article on textual research has just been published, and it seems that it has brought a new writing direction to many news editors in an instant. At this time, professional editors have discovered that Li Fan’s "new textual research" is interesting. , Playing the fake of the ancients, the ancients can't jump out of the coffin to refute, the Internet public is particularly interested, this is another good income.

So recently, all kinds of textual research have emerged on the entire Internet.If you click on any website or news client, you can basically see the "textual research" on ancient Chinese history and so on.

It's just that their "textual research" articles are mainly based on novel news topics, and the following words often appear: "according to records", "according to rumors", "documentary records"...

But where is it recorded?Who passed it on?What literature was written?We don't talk about it at all.Because they are all made up, they are documents.

Li Fan's articles are academic research, while various news editors are mixed with "entertainment sections", which leads to a mess on the Internet and blind textual research.

News editors want to make money and live, and they don't care about basic professional ethics, so they pull out too many "textual research articles" that are false and sensational.

In the end, it is the readers who suffer, and everyone has no ability to discern. After all, the foundation of Chinese studies is poor. I thought I had increased my knowledge, but it turned out to be false knowledge.

Of course, in addition to news editors, some scholars have also written some articles, but they have basically disappeared. After all, there are no news editors for entertainment and gossip. The articles written by scholars are all academic works, which are too standardized and boring.

In this environment, netizens are naturally a little confused, as if in the past month, everything has been fake.

Li Fan had no choice but to remind netizens, saying: "Look at history objectively, don't listen to news editors fooling around, textual research is not gossip, but academics, basically all news editors' works are unreliable."

Netizens are confused, they are unreliable?After that, who should read such articles?
Li Fan didn't have a solution to this problem either. He held his phone and sighed. The current Internet is really a mess, and he doesn't know when it will be standardized.

Li Fan chatted with netizens again, and suddenly Gu Yating appeared in the comment area, and she said: "Li Fan is too modest, the final shape of this article really depends a lot on Li Fan." After this sentence, a " Smiley face" emoji.

Li Fan replied to her: "I just made a few comments, and I'm not qualified to take credit for you."

Gu Yating replied: "No, without your correction, there would be many mistakes in my article!"

……

The two of them came back and forth, being polite in the comment area, probably in public, so they didn't have the nerve to brag.

Netizens watched quietly, and then suddenly exploded:

"You two are really enough, don't show your affection here!"

"Ah, hot eyes!"

"I give you a song at this time: happy breakup, I wish you happiness, you can find a better..."

……

Then, the two accounts went offline at the same time, and they were not speaking.

After putting down the phone, Li Fan washed his face, and when he was about to eat, Lu Yaya called and asked Li Fan to have dinner.

The place to eat was in the cafeteria of Beijing University, across the street from Chenhua University and Beijing University. Li Fan went to the appointment after washing up.

Because of the start of the university, Lu Yaya's work in "The Times of Chinese Studies" could not continue. However, because of her background in Peking University and her good performance during her work, she still worked as a part-timer at "The Times of Chinese Studies" and was still in charge of reviewing manuscripts. But it can be done in school.

Facing a table of delicious food, Li Fan would never show mercy. He lowered his head and waved his chopsticks, shoveling and pulling them into his mouth.

Lu Yaya chewed slowly, and said: "You still have the heart to eat it! How much trouble do you think you have caused?"

"Trouble?" Li Fan raised his head and asked curiously, "What trouble?"

"Study your textual research!"

"what happened?"

"Think about it, once your concept of 'new textual research' came out and the article was published, it directly led to the 're-employment' of many unscrupulous editors, directly giving them a new writing direction.

Now there are many ridiculous rubbish articles on the Internet, such as 'Zheng Chenggong is not a eunuch', 'Li Shimin's son Li Chengqian is not his own', 'Wu Zetian is a man', 'Kangxi is bisexual'..."

puff!
Li Fan wiped his lips and said, "Thank you editor, it refreshed my knowledge again."

Lu Yaya said: "You said that the emergence of these rubbish news has something to do with you? If you hadn't waved the flag and shouted, would these bullshit articles appear? It would be fine if these editors could really come up with some reasonable arguments, but Either it's far-fetched, or it's total bullshit."

"It is indeed like this, for attention and traffic."

Lu Yaya said worriedly: "The key is that netizens can't tell the difference between good and bad. They take it seriously. These editors went so far as to say that they are moths of Chinese studies, and they are completely cheating our next generation."

Li Fan put down his chopsticks, unable to eat at all, he rubbed his cheek with his hand, and said: "Your words make sense, the entertainment circle is messy, true and false news is not fatal, but Guoxue is by no means child's play."

"Yes, it's time to regulate it. I was joking with you before. What does it have to do with you? However, the concept of 'new textual research' was heated up by you, and this wave was set off by you, so, I think it's time for you to speak up and let netizens know what is academic research and what is pure nonsense."

Li Fan nodded, stood up and said, "Okay, I'll go back and write it now."

Lu Yaya said anxiously: "There is one more thing, can you write more articles? It's been more than a month, and you have only produced three articles, less, big brother."

"A lot! The publication of academic works is too slow, and I haven't finished the next article yet. Do you think I'm a coding machine?"

Lu Yaya looked at the back of Li Fan leaving in a hurry, and thought to herself: The whole website is waiting for you to attract traffic and stir up topics, but the editor-in-chief Zhu stomped his feet in a hurry. He didn't rush you, but let this broken mouth It's all on me.

……

That night, amidst the sound of keyboard tapping, an article called "New Textual Research" was born - "Introduction to "New Textual Research".

After repeated review, this article was sent to Lu Yaya's mailbox through the Internet.

Lu Yaya clicked on the email, and saw that the first sentence of the article was: I heard that there are a lot of researches on the Internet recently, and there are a lot of works, but the good and the bad are mixed, so I made this article to set the record straight.

Further reading, the article mentions that the fundamental method of scholarship is: seeking truth from facts, trusting without evidence, simple style of writing, and prioritizing logic.

The four "fundamentals of scholarship" formally established the research methods of "new textual research", and indirectly condemned those who pretended to be sensationalists.

The article also regulates the research scope of textual research, and emphatically declares that new textual research is related to philology, phonology, exegesis, history, geography, calendar and arithmetic, bibliographies, edition studies, collation studies, forgery discrimination studies, and collection studies. and other traditional academic research complement each other.

At the end of the article, Li Fan wrote: According to rough statistics, only the works of 6 authors, including Professor Wu Gang from Beijing Normal University, young scholar Mr. Peng Jia...and Gu Yating, belong to the academic field of research. If there are any omissions, please let us know.

After reading the entire article, Lu Yaya suddenly had an inexplicable idea, could this article be a cornerstone work?

She shook her head quickly, what was she thinking, Li Fan is not a master of a generation, only a master can establish a sect and talk about rules.

Well, who made Li Fan young and inexperienced? These very speechless colored glasses are on the bridge of everyone's noses. The only thing that can take them off is time.

Fortunately, the "new textual research" advocated by Li Fan is only underestimated. After all, the current "new textual research" is still in its infancy.

As for Li Fan, he needs to use his popularity, influence and academic level to quickly ripen this delicate and beautiful flower that is destined to be fragrant.

In the early hours of the 1st, the "Guoxue Times" famous expert column officially published this "Introduction to "New Textual Evidence"". As soon as the article came out, the majority of netizens completely understood what "New Textual Evidence" was.It is not gossip news, nor is it an anti-counterfeit work, it is a real academic research, and it is even boring.

As a result, the news editors suffered a lot, and no one was convinced of their nonsense. This "Introduction to New Textual Evidence" killed their nonsense. Similarly, it is also for those who want to engage in textual research. People are guided by pilots.

The publication of this article has no far-reaching influence for the time being, and it will take time to prove its significance. However, with Li Fan's topicality and influence, Li Fan successfully made this article a became the focus of heated discussions on the Internet.

……

On the 2nd, the National Conference of Young Scholars officially opened at Chenhua University.

Inside Chenhua University, reporters gathered.

Not to mention the various online media, reporters from major TV stations have also come here early to watch.

It can be said that the participants of the Scholars Conference are elites from all walks of life, but the elites may not be famous.To say that the most socially famous is the cultural circle, after all, some well-known writers and scholars will come today.

Like Zhao Jianmin, the winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature, like the famous beautiful poet Xiaoxiao, like Mr. Sheng Yuan, a master of Chinese studies...but none of them are as topical as Li Fan.

At least, these professional journalists think so.

"Pay attention to Li Fan, don't miss it."

"Don't worry, I'll keep an eye on you."

……

"Everyone is ready, don't let other colleagues take the lead."

……

"Look, Li Fan is here."

"Quick, this guy is going to slip!"

……

Hulala, a large group of reporters rushed over.

"Li Fan, as the youngest participant of this conference, what topics did you bring?"

"Li Fan, can you talk about the "Introduction to New Textual Research" you just published?"

……

Only a few reporters from Beijing TV did not wait for the wind. They stood where they were, looking at the group of reporters gathered not far away and burst into laughter.

The camera smashed, smashed and said: "It's too low, it's just too low."

"That's right, we still have to be Jingshi, who can hold on to the airs, and let Li Fan come over for an exclusive interview later."

"Well, I will hold an exclusive interview later, Li Fan must be so happy!"
