Chapter 604 Herringbone
"The Da Vinci Code" was drawn by Zhang Chong at the end of February.
Although I was not in a hurry to publish it before, Zhang Chong quickly wrote it out.
Moreover, he had read the original version of this book, so he kept it for himself to translate it.
Originally, he was not in a hurry, thinking about translating slowly, just translated thousands of words a day, but after Hawthorne's incident, he accelerated the speed.
Fortunately, he has read the original work and compared it with the Chinese version, it is not too time-consuming to translate it.
After the title of the book came out, many netizens thought it was a sister chapter of "The Code of the River During the Qingming Festival", or a novel similar to it.
It is indeed similar in some places, but the two books are not even sister chapters.
The real sister chapter of "The Da Vinci Code" should be "Angels and the Devil", another well-known novel by Dan Brown.
Dan Brown's works often contain many elements, and popular novel elements such as murder, horror and suspense, pursuit, detective, romance, etc. may appear in the same book.
This book "The Da Vinci Code" is nicknamed a cultural knowledge novel by some people because it borrows a lot of cultural knowledge, including "Mona Lisa", "The Last Supper", "The Vitruvian Man", "The Fibonacci Sequence", "The Five-Step Ijamba, the Holy Grail Story, contemporary high-tech and modern information technology, etc.
The cleverness of this book is that it can combine knowledge and information in cryptography, mathematics, religion, oceanography, geology, etc. without leaving any traces of axe and arouse, and is appreciated by both the elite and the masses, so as to facilitate reading of different groups of people.
There are many subversive things in the book. Some readers will even think that what is written in the book is real after reading it.
Of course, no one can tell whether it is true or not.
This was not a scholarly article, and even a scholarly article might not necessarily be true.
There are also many reversals in the book. The deceased Sonier is the grandfather of the heroine Police Officer Neve. Ps is not the abbreviation of princess sophy but the secret code of the secret organization. Sonier is the highest leader of the Xunshan Senatorial Society, and Remy is an undercover agent...
Of course, the most unexpected thing is that at the end of the day, everyone realized that Tibin, who had been providing assistance, was the villain mentor.
Many people think that the reversal of Teabin as a mentor is a bit abrupt and unreasonable, but the ending is self-consistent.
...
Zhang Chong quickly handed over the two languages "The Da Vinci Code" to Chen Qing.
The editorial department of the Chinese version of the proofreading work company is doing it, while the proofreading of the English version is handed over to the translation team.
It shouldn't take long to meet you in this book.
However, it seems that there is no need to be so anxious now, because Hawthorne's new book has been postponed for half a month, and they have more than half a month to prepare.
Regarding netizens' statement that Zhang Chong's new book this time was targeting Hawthorne, the company quickly issued a statement.
"We have no intention of targeting Mr. Hawthorne at all. In fact, we are also very amazed at this very clever fate. Of course, if Mr. Hawthorne feels that there is any difficulty in publishing the new book at the same time as PZ, it can be explained that we can consider modifying the time."
After seeing this statement, netizens called Zhang Chong's company's public relations department so cheap.
It is said that slapping people is not a slap in the face. Isn’t this statement just slapped Hawthorne in the face?
Did Hawthorne really respond that he didn't want to publish books at the same time as PZ because he was afraid that sales would be affected?
In fact, Zhang Chong also learned about this statement later.
The statement was issued by the company's public relations department itself, and it is said that it was written by Li Zhuo himself.
Zhang Chong felt that this silly writing style was quite similar to Li Zhuo. This guy has always been good at helping people uncover scars and sprinkle a handful of salt.
When they were in school, the two of them had a quarrel, but they always ended the battle with Zhang Chong's complete defeat.
...
Zhang Chong stood by a long table, surrounded by a group of children - of course, not all of them, and there was also an adult who looked more eye-catching.
In Meng Mu Xiaozhu's calligraphy class, Zhang Chong occasionally came to teach the students.
The studio generally recruits children, but there is a college student in the calligraphy class and a man in his thirties.
When Zhang Chong came to class just now, he thought that this person was the parent of a student or a newly recruited teacher in the studio, but he didn't expect that he was actually a student.
This surprised Zhang Chong a little.
Of course, there are not only children who learn calligraphy, but generally adults do not come to such places when learning calligraphy. Not to mention anything else, the first step to pass to study here is to overcome the shame of listening to a class with a group of children.
Moreover, the teaching object is students, so Zhang Chong cannot explain things too deeply, and he may not be able to learn what he wants to learn.
For example, in this class, Zhang Chong was going to give the children a simple word.
Zhang Chong wrote a big word "man" on paper.
"Students, do you know what the word is?"
"Teacher, it's a herringbone."
Most students know this character, but some of them who don’t recognize words come to learn calligraphy.
Of course, not knowing words does not mean that you cannot practice calligraphy. Moreover, Zhang Chong taught it more simply, and students can even learn to read.
"Yes, it's the word "herd". At that time, did you know how the word "man" was written in the past?"
The students shook their heads.
Zhang Chong wrote another "people" next to the original "people", but it is just the "people" in oracle bone script.
After he finished writing, a student raised his hands.
"Teacher, it's like standing next to someone."
"No, I think it's like a word."
"Teacher, is this the way he wrote the word "in the past?"
Zhang Chong smiled and nodded, "This is a way of writing a long time ago. You are right. It is somewhat like standing next to people, and some like the words we write now. Of course, what else does it look like besides standing next to people and into characters?"
The students looked at each other, and one student raised his hand and said, "Teacher, it's like a bent person. Look, this is his legs, this is his upper body, and this is his arms."
"This classmate makes sense. Look, does this word look like a person who bent down and hugged his hands?" Zhang Chong made a bowing gesture, "It's like this."
The students clapped their hands and said, "It seems."
"The word human is a pictographic character, which means that people should know humility. The reason why people know humility is because they can think in their hearts..."
Zhang Chong did not expect students to remember the origin of the word "Herman", but students may not be able to remember it, which does not mean that he needs to be said. He believed that every word he said now would remain in the students' minds and would have an effect one day.
