Chapter 801: Spiritual roots are nurtured and flowed out, and the mind is cultivated
"The new four classics, nonsense, isn't this nonsense?"
The well-known literary critic "Liu Zhaokai" looked at the topic of "New Four Great Classics" shouted by people on the Internet, but said dissatisfied. As a senior critic in the literary world, he has unique research and analysis of literary works compared to any other person. In his opinion, the Four Great Classics are not determined by shouting slogans or drawing a title. The Four Great Classics were finally confirmed after hundreds of years of recognition by countless people.
Huang Yifan's works are well written, and Liu Zhaokai thought so before, or it was pretty good. However, even though Liu Zhaokai thought they were well written, or even good, and even had the potential to be close to the four great classics, he is not the four great classics after all. Relying on those fans and relying on such media to hype their own names is really a literati character.
So when Liu Zhaokai saw a series of fans shouting out the hype topics of "New Four Great Classics", he seemed a little angry.
Huang Yifan is talented, but he is too young after all.
Even if you are really so talented, where did the humble personality of a literati go?
A true literati should learn the same way as autumn water. The first priority of the way of the inner sage and the outer king is to cultivate oneself.
"Teacher, are you not optimistic about the Romance of the Gods written by Huang Yifan and the Water Margin written by Mr. Fanchen?"
Student "Lin Yalin" looked at the heavy-faced teacher "Liu Zhaokai" and asked: "People remembered that when you evaluated these two works, they gave a very high evaluation."
"Yalin, I have to focus on this. When we do literary commentary, we must evaluate the work from an objective and fair perspective, and not based on our own preferences. Just like the work written by Huang Yifan, although I think it is written very well and has a high evaluation, I will not become a fan of this work. Because, if you become a fan of this work or a certain author, then you will lose objectivity when evaluating this work."
"But these two works are indeed comparable to the four great classics."
Lin Yalin still said in confusion.
"Even if it is comparable to the four great classics, you should know that the four great classics were not introduced by someone or selected by a certain institution. It was formed after hundreds of years and countless public recognition. In other words, it must take a very long time and public recognition to become the four great classics. Although the works of Huang Yifan and Mr. Fanchen have been recognized by many people, they have appeared for too short. Now we think it is good and very good. This is just our current view. But three years later, ten years later, and 100 years later?"
"100 years, teacher, this time is too long."
Some of the student Lin Yalin could not accept it.
Although he also knew that the teacher "Liu Zhaokai" was justified, those who did literary comments could not fall into the book and could not extricate themselves, nor could they become fans of a certain work or author. However, the heights that Huang Yifan and Fanchen had reached in the Conquest of Gods and Water Margin, even if Lin Yalin did not want to become a fan of these two works.
Just like the four great classics, he knew that his teacher "Liu Zhaokai" was a die-hard fan of Journey to the East.
However, as a student, he was embarrassed to refute the teacher, but he looked very puzzled.
"100 years is not long. Look at our four great classics. It has been about 500 years since they started to write. Besides, the four great classics were not the four great classics at the beginning, and they were called the four great classics after hundreds of years."
"Teacher, can we really wait until Huang Yifan and other great writers die before their works can be truly named the Four Great Classics?"
"Yes."
"Liu Zhaokai" nodded.
However, when he finished this sentence, he suddenly felt something was wrong with this sentence.
Can it be that after Huang Yifan dies, his works will be called the Four Great Classics?
Objectively speaking, this is indeed the case.
The greater the work, the greater the writer, they did not receive much recognition from many people during their lifetime.
Even if someone recognizes it, they did not gain much fame during their lifetime.
But often after these writers die, the value of their works is infinitely magnified.
Although this seems to make some sense, it seems to be a little cruel.
Why can't those writers be recognized during their lifetime?
No matter what, after these writers die, their works can be conferred a god.
Could it be that we could not give these geniuses the fame and identity that should be possessed by these geniuses during our lifetime?
As he thought about it, "Liu Zhaokai" sighed, and then said to his students: "Yalin, maybe what you said makes sense." After that, "Liu Zhaokai" deleted the rebuttal of the "New Four Great Classics" written before with one click. In any case, Huang Yifan is indeed a genius writer. As for whether his works can be exemplified as the New Four Great Classics, it depends on God's will.
...
Ministry of Education.
"Everyone is an expert in the literary world. Since that's the case, I won't talk much nonsense. Today I'll ask you to come here to ask you what you think about the new four classics."
"Guo Lei", director of the Ministry of Education Research Institute, said to a group of literary experts in the office.
"Director Guo, I think the "Fengshen Romance" written by Huang Yifan has reached a peak in terms of literary, ideological, and artistic nature. It is not under the four great classics "Journey to the East". "Fengshen Romance" is rated as one of the four new classics. "I don't think it's impossible to "Fengshen Romance" as one of the new four great classics."
The head of the department of Shuimu University, Jing Yi, said on the first stand.
"Director Guo, I support Director Xing's view. At the same time, I also said that the "Water Margin" written by Mr. Fanchen is also more profound than the Wagang Biography in depth, especially in character creation. 108 heroes have been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. People often explain the heroic stories of the heroes of Liangshan on the streets of the city. Therefore, I also agree to use "Water Margin" as the new four classics."
"Wu Shoujing", the director of the Department of Yenching University, who has always had a competitive relationship with Shuimu University, also spoke out.
Of course, Wushoujing is not supporting Huang Yifan of Shuimu University. He just supports their honorary professor Mr. Fanchen. Both of them have now become golden signs of the two colleges, so the opinions of both parties are rarely unified.
However, Shuimu University and Yenching University agreed on each other, while some other universities were not happy.
"Director Guo, I think it's a bit embarrassing to discuss the topic of the new four classics."
At this time, Zhang Suyuan, dean of the School of Literature of Fu University, said: "The four great classics have been unified for hundreds of years. Moreover, it is not led by the government. It is okay for us to discuss this topic here, but if the Ministry of Education brings out the new four great classics, it may attract public criticism."
Huang Yifan, Fan Chen has nothing to do with them. Naturally, the dean of Fuda University Literature School expressed his dissatisfaction. Moreover, he did not want to see the works of Huang Yifan and Fan Chen as the New Four Great Classics. After all, the two are already golden signs of two colleges, and their works have become live advertisements for the two colleges. Originally, these colleges and universities could not compete with them. If they really agreed with the New Four Great Classics, how could they recruit people? I am afraid they are a literary youth, and they all dream of going to Shuimu and Yan University to meet the gods in their minds.
"I support Dean Zhang's statement. In fact, before coming, we at Xiangnan University discussed this topic. If we forcefully launch the statement of this new four classics, it will indeed attract public criticism. I think that Professor Huang and Mr. Fanchen are both masters of the literary world, and their works naturally have unparalleled value. With the depth of their works, we don't need to discuss them at all. After a hundred years, their works will naturally become examples of the new four classics. Just like our current four classics, it was just a literary critic who made this statement back then, and there was no government pushing it. Then, slowly, after hundreds of years of development, we recognized this statement."
Professor Wang Haohan, a professor at the School of Literature of Xiangnan University, also stood up and said with Fuda to join forces.
Although he did not explicitly oppose the "New Four Great Classics", this statement is actually no different from opposing it.
"Director Zhang, Professor Wang, you're just saying this."
After the two finished speaking, Kong Shujun, a professor at Shuimu Academy of Literature, said: "No matter who said the new four great classics, I think that as long as such works reach a certain level and the public agrees, we can never consider who proposed it. It is possible to propose it by the public, it is possible to propose it by literary critics, and it is possible to promote it by the Ministry of Education. If you really have to wait for hundreds of years, wouldn't it be like the works recommended in textbooks written by dead people? Can't living people enjoy this treatment? I think that Mr. Qiu Shui has broken this regulation, and we should give these honors that everyone deserves before we die."
Before, Kong Shujun just treated him as a friend. Until now, Kong Shujun has admired Huang Yifan in a state of admiration.
At the same time, he was extremely excited. He could see such a person in his lifetime and was willing to die.
"Professor Kong, you have a bad statement like this. Who doesn't know that you and Professor Huang are a couple. It's not objective to recommend your friends' works like this."
"Zhang Suyuan" retorted.
"Director Zhang, why isn't it objective? Since you want to say objective, let's say objectively. Do you think the Romance of the Gods is worse than the Travels of the East?"
"Even if it's not bad, then Professor Kong, do you think it's unreasonable to delete the Travels of the East in the four masterpieces for no reason?"
"There is no reason. The statement of the Four Great Classics is just four novels. No one has ever stipulated which books the four Great Classics must be. If there are good works, you can naturally add them. As for those who write poorly, the reason should be removed."
"It's so light. Have you ever asked everyone in China? Does everyone in China agree?"
"If all Chinese people agree, I'm afraid that anyone will deny the four great classics nowadays."
The two competed against each other.
"Okay, two, let's stop discussing for the time being."
Seeing the two of them quarreled, Guo Lei knocked on the table and said. Then, looking at the audience, Guo Lei said: "Maybe there is a big controversy on the topic of the new four classics. Since that's the case, we won't discuss this topic now. Let's first study a new work written by Professor Huang. I think that after reading this new work, everyone may have other opinions."
As he said that, Guo Lei opened the big screen in the office.
A title is written on the big screen: Journey to the West.
Chapter 1: The spiritual roots are nurtured and the source of the birth of the great way of cultivation of the mind and nature.

ps: I have been recommending some works written by my author friends before. So, these days when the novel is about to end, I recommend Xiaobai’s previous work "Rebirth of Online Entertainment", which is about a story of destroying QQ, working on Taobao, and stepping on Apple.
Rebirth back to 2000.
QQ has a copycat version, his name is tt.
South Korea is no longer a major exporter of online games, but a major importer.
Of course, in the current online yy novels, a great god named "Chen Jiayi" will appear.
Chapter completed!
