Chapter 125

On Friday night, Chi Xueli came to No. 4 Middle School to pick up Zhou Zhi from school.

Both of them were nervous and apprehensive. Chi Xueli kept complaining: "You are always making trouble for me!"

Zhou Zhi was also panicked. The pretentious fan in the literary club had long since disappeared without a trace. He was holding a square bag of yellow oil paper in his hand and couldn't help but rub it: "Sister Chi, please stop talking.

I'm more nervous than you."

Chi Xueli drove a small jeep and said bitterly: "You deserve it! You know now? Do you know how much courage it took me to call his old man?!"

"Sister, please stop talking. How about I get out of the car and you take your things over?"

"you dare!"

"Then drive quickly!"

The two of them bickered to relieve their tension and drove all the way, and soon arrived at the gate of a university campus.

When the guard saw that it was a TV station's car, he was polite. When he saw that the driver was Chi Xueli, he immediately let him go.

The little Jeep drove to an old tube building on campus and stopped. The two of them went up to the third floor one after another and knocked on the wooden door.

The door opened, and a thin old man wearing a blue shirt opened the door: "Xue Li is here."

In Zhou Zhi's heart, this small teachers' dormitory is simply a temple.

The old man in front of me is a famous contemporary linguist and lexicographer, the executive deputy editor-in-chief and deputy director of the editing department of the "Chinese Dictionary", and he is also an expert on rhymes with a family background.

Gu Zhenduo.

Chi Xueli is now a well-known host of a well-known column in the country because of the "Aspiring Young Man" series of interviews. She was also cautious in front of this old man: "Master, the mentor is not here? Has the old man taken a rest?"

Zhou Zhi's appearance is even worse. What Yang He looked like when he saw Chi Xueli on the provincial TV station last year is what he looks like now. He doesn't even dare to say hello.

"Your master is very busy right now." Gu Zhenduo was approachable and said with a smile: "My father hasn't gone to bed yet. He received a call from you and said he wanted to bring a child to visit. He hasn't gone to bed yet. Is this the child?

It looks very energetic."

"Gu...gu..." Zhou Zhi had already stuttered.

"Jiang Wan is worried, and you hear partridges in the mountains?" The old man chuckled: "Kids, don't be so nervous! Come in, come in."

"Hello, Professor Gu." Only then did Zhou Zhi say something concise.

The interior furnishings are very simple, just a fabric sofa, a small coffee table, and a small dining table next to it. Except for a kitchen, the rest is a study room, including a writing desk and bookcases in the bedroom, with lights on both sides.

An older man walked out of the study and rubbed the head of his right index finger with his left hand: "Xue Li is here? Is this the child you were talking about?"

Chi Xueli and Zhou Zhi immediately stood up: "Old man." "Gu Zuzu."

This is a family that is so arrogant that Zhou Zhi looks up to it. The first generation is Gu Shaoxian, a famous Chinese authority in the fields of academic research on medieval phonology, writing, and exegesis.

Gu Shaoxian was born in the 10th year of the reign of Emperor Guangxu of the Qing Dynasty. He studied at a young age from Zhu Yanhe, a famous Confucian in Chengdu. Later, he was arrested and imprisoned for opposing Yuan Shikai's claim to the throne. In prison, he studied Duan Yucai's annotations of "Shuowen". His academic thinking was inherited from the Qianjia Emperor of the Qing Dynasty.

Among modern scholars, Dai Zhen, Duan Yucai, Wang Niansun and their sons of the school had contacts with Zhang Taiyan and Huang Kan, and their academic views were relatively similar.

He has written numerous works throughout his life, and his descendants are still sorting out his two major works "Guangyun Shuzheng" and "Notes on the Collection of Classical Interpretations".

The second generation is his son-in-law Shang Menglun and his son Gu Youwen. Shang Menglun has passed away. The old man in front of him is Mr. Shaoxian's son Gu Youwen.

Gu Youwen is a great figure in the literature and history of the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties in China. Because of his family background, he is also an expert in writing and rhyme.

The old man who just opened the door, Gu Zhenduo, is not only an expert in writing, but also a famous historian in the Tang and Song Dynasties. He is the main organizer of his grandfather's two tomes, "Guangyun Shuzheng" and "Collection of Classical Interpretations and Notes".

This man also has a son named Gu Kailai, who is also a professor in the Chinese Department, an expert in rhyme, and Chi Xueli’s mentor.

Among the hundreds of cultural families later assessed by China, there were three in Shuchuan Province, including Yuzhou City. This was the only one in Shu City. It had four generations of professors, specializing in one discipline of rhyme, and the rest of history and literature.

All can only be counted as "overflow".

But even those that overflow have pushed them to the top position in China.

Therefore, Sister Chi is such a big star, so she has to be cautious in front of Gu Zhenduo and call her "Master" obediently.

Everyone sat down, and Gu Youwen went straight to the topic: "I heard from Xue Li that you wrote a paper on Jiachuan dialect? Is it related to medieval phonology?"

Zhou Zhi untied the thread on the outside of the yellow paper bag: "Yes, I did a field survey on the Jiachuan dialect, which I think is relatively detailed. In addition, there is a comparative exposition on the dialect and the rules of "Guangyun". I would like to trouble Shigong

Master, please take the time to correct me."

""Guangyun"?" Gu Youwen smiled, but there was some helplessness in his smile: "Where did you learn "Guangyun"?"

Similar to Zhou Zhi now, a person who doesn't know the heights of heaven and earth. Gu Youwen has seen too much in these years, and he has no idea that the child in front of him really understands "Guangyun".

"I based it on the lecture notes of Master Shi Gaozu's "Annotations to the Collection of Shuo Wen", and referred to Zhang Taiyan's "Answers to Primary Schools" and "Wen Shi" to explain the exegesis in a sound way." Zhou Zhi replied seriously: "Later, it was Chen Li.

"Qie Yun Kao" is only one of the works after the decision of Shi Gaozu's school. The only one is Shi Gaozu's "Ancient and Modern Qieyu Table" and "Guangyun Harmony Table", which are the forty-one poems of Huang Kan by Shi Gaozu.

The idea of ​​classes, and the edition of two hundred and ninety-five rhyme classes.”

"Oh?" Gu Youzhi's thoughtful answer made Gu Youwen feel happy. Not many people could name the names of these books. The child in front of him might be really different from those before.

"Father," said Gu Zhenduo, who was reading the "Jiachuan Dialect Field Research Report": "This child's field research is different from ours."

"Really? What's the difference?"

Gu Zhenduo said: "Unlike us who investigated the sound categories, this kid also added exegesis and grammar."

"Really?" Gu Youwen took the report and took a look at it: "Come on, kid, read this paragraph to us in your dialect."

"Oh." Zhou Zhi came to Gu Youwen's side: "'Mu', the dialect is pronounced as 'Hu Du', and the characters are all pronounced in a tone. It is almost the same as the explanation of 'Mu, the sound is suddenly sudden' in "Jin Hu Zi Kao"."

"Also known as 'falcon', it was first seen in Tang Mengjiao's "Border Town Yin", "Where is the falcon dreaming, and I return to my thoughts and sleep on it"; Ming Sun Chengzong's "Reply to Yuan Jie Huan Kaifu" also has "The temple used the falcon to solve the problem, it's really amazing

Haotan' language."

"'Hu', "Guangyun" is written as "Huguqie", fifteen volumes; "Du", "Tangyun" is written as Tuguqie, "Zhengyun" is written as Duguqie. The dialect is based on "Zhengyun" , so the dialect of this word should be considered as a word written before the Tang Dynasty and pronounced after the Song Dynasty."

Gu Zhenduo also pointed out one point: "This is a three-character test strip of stew, meal, and dun."

"Stew is a two-character simplified word, and its origin is stew. The dialect is pronounced as 'Du', both of which are poisonous and cut into the pronunciation. For example, 'Du tofu' and 'Duyu' are the same as stew."

"Dun is a verb, and it is also pronounced as 'Du', both of which are sharp and enter the sound. To make an object suddenly stop is said to be 'Du', for example, 'to wrap up the sacks and make them into one', which agrees with Dun."

"Dun, also pronounced as 'Du', has a sharp, penetrating tone. Dunhou means thick and heavy. For example, 'Han Dun Dun' is pronounced as 'Ha Du Du' in dialect."

"The three characters have the same pronunciation, but the correct pronunciation is neither "Guangyun" nor "Jiyun". Only Maodun Chanyu in "Historical Records" is pronounced as 'Modu Chanyu'. Therefore, it is suspected that this is not the correct rhyme of the Tang and Song Dynasties, but a legacy of the Qin and Han Dynasties. also."

Reading this paragraph in dialect, Gu Youwen and Gu Zhenduo immediately distinguished the rhymes in it, and both of them couldn't help being surprised and delighted.

This method is no longer a simple field investigation, but the content of exegesis.

Today's dialect field surveys generally use Western survey methods, but because there are too many medieval samples in the Jiachuan dialect, traditional Chinese hermeneutic methods are used to conduct the survey, which has obvious advantages.

And this itself is also a process of proof. For example, this child mentioned that the dialect word "zhufan" is a derogatory term for eating, and thought that this word should be "zhu", which means "pound", and found an example in ancient Chinese. As evidence - "Three Kingdoms·Wei Shu·Shao Di Ji": "The thief used a knife to build his mouth so that he could not speak."

Gu Zhenduo patted the "Field Investigation Report" and said: "You summarized these? How many dialect words did you adopt?"

"Grandpa Shi, I have chosen vocabulary that has roots in medieval rhymes. There are a total of six hundred and fifty-eight in the report. The style is roughly the same as the word 'muddleheaded'."

"The work is very meticulous, which is worthy of praise." Gu Youwen smiled and said: "Little baby, this is a natural advantage for you..."

Gu Zhenduo seemed to remember something: "Zhou Zhi, right? How many of the reports in this report were you personally interviewed?"

"Grandpa Shi, I interviewed these in person."

"Oh? Then you have not received any advice from others on this report?"

"After I finished writing the paper, I showed it to my godfather."

"Your godfather's surname is Wu, right?"

"Yes, my godfather is Wu Lingjun, and my godmother is Tang Dihua." Zhou Zhi took out a letter from his pocket: "This is a letter written by my godfather and godmother to you. They asked me to call you Grandmaster and Master Zuzu. "

"You kid!" Gu Zhenduo grabbed the letter and said, "Why didn't you take it out earlier?!"

Zhou Zhi was a little surprised: "My godfather said that if the master didn't mention him, then there is no need to bring it out..."

"Zhengping really has such a temper." Gu Zhenduo only said this, and then began to read the letter.

Gu Youwen waved to Zhou Zhi: "Come on, children, come to my side and read a few more articles to us. Xue Li, go see what drinks and fruits are available at home and prepare some for us."

"Hey." Chi Xueli stood up, glared at Zhou Zhi who looked at her helplessly, and went to work in the kitchen.

The six hundred and fifty-eight vocabulary words and the annotations below actually don't take long. The main reason is that Zhou Zhi's pronunciation in dialect is very special, and Gu Youwen can understand it as soon as he hears it. There is no need for communication or explanation between the two, just

Just read aloud.

However, Zhou Zhi still only read a small part of it: "I heard from godfather that Grandmaster Grandmaster goes to bed at eight o'clock every night, why don't you delay Master Grandmaster and Grandmaster Grandmaster?"

"The rules are not dead. It mainly depends on whether things are worth it." Gu Youwen actually has some humor: "Now it seems that it is quite worth it."

"Due to limited conditions at that time, I couldn't conduct detailed research." Gu Zhenduo had already read the letter and listened for a long time: "Is Zhengpingheheyidu okay?"

"Zhengping is the name of godfather, but Yi is the name of godmother? Did the master give it to them?" Zhou Zhi asked: "The letter they gave you didn't mention their current situation?"

Gu Zhenduo became interested in comparing and said with a smile: "Let's talk about the origin of their characters first."

"The Book of Songs·Tangdi Zhihua" has "Yi'er Shijia"; "Chu Ci·Li Sao" has "The name Yu is Zhengzexi, the courtesy name is Lingjun", and Wang Yi's "Chu Ci Zhangju" has annotation: 'Zheng

, Ping means; Ze means Dharma; Spirit means God; Jun means harmony. The words godmother and godfather should come from these places, right?"

Gu Zhenduo smiled and said: "Your godfather's letter said that you have been passionate about classical literature since you were a child, and you have made some achievements. The biggest achievements so far are this "Field Report" and "Dialect Research"."
