Chapter 67 Good teacher and good apprentice
"Well? Is there such registration in the Taoist Association?" Fang Yi was stunned after hearing Mr. Sun's words. He originally thought that the certificates that his master left him were made for a small advertisement at the foot of the mountain, but he didn't expect it to be true.
"Yes, I've found someone to read it. It's written very clearly. You became the abbot of Fangshan Shangqing Palace three years ago. Not everyone can be the host..."
Old Sun nodded, and the questions in his eyes still did not dissipate. You must know that whether it is Buddhism or Taoist sect, any temple or Taoist sect should be a respected person. No matter how you turn out to be Fang Yi, it is not the turn for you.
"Teacher, there are only two people in Shangqing Palace, and after the master passed away, I am the only one left..."
After hearing Mr. Sun's words, Fang Yi couldn't help but smile bitterly. Although the name of Shangqing Palace was very loud, it was a broken Taoist temple with only three or five houses leaking everywhere. For decades, only two Taoist priests and master were among them. The old Taoist priest died, and Fang Yi naturally presided over the abbot.
"Previous...there are only two Taoist priests in Shangqing Palace?" Old Sun opened his mouth wide when he heard this, and then shook his head and laughed in silence.
Fearing to arouse Fang Yi's sad past, Sun Lianda had never asked about his past events, and naturally he didn't know that a Taoist temple with such a tall name had actually declined to such a level. No wonder he couldn't find any information about Fangshan Shangqing Palace.
"Okay, I won't talk about this anymore..."
Sun Lianda smiled and waved his hand, saying, "The country is still very relaxed in religious studies. I will find a way to allow you to pass the postgraduate entrance examination. Your main task in the past six months is to fully understand the knowledge in these textbooks, especially the two subjects of English and advanced mathematics. You must master it..."
Due to Fang Yi's knowledge of ancient Chinese and historical skills, Sun Lianda was not worried at all in the professional exam. Politics is something that can be memorized by rote, and Fang Yi's intelligence must have passed, but the graduate exam is not only professional and political, but English and mathematics are also very important.
In fact, many old professors in China, including Sun Lianda, are very disgusted with these courses for the postgraduate entrance examination. If you want to say that advanced mathematics will inspire people's thinking, you must take the exam, but this English test has made many tutors hate it.
Sun Lianda has an old friend, an old professor at the Beijing Academy of Fine Arts and an extremely famous painter in China. He always wanted to teach a few outstanding disciples, but unfortunately, the good seedlings he liked every year always failed the English exam and ultimately failed to become his student.
Finally, the old professor angrily wrote a letter to the relevant education department, saying that he taught Chinese painting and there was nothing that needed to communicate with foreign countries. He hoped that the relevant departments could relax policies and allow truly talented people to learn knowledge.
Of course, the old professor's starting point is good, but it's a bit too idealistic. It's been several years since his letter was sent out, and no one has come out to solve the problem. Sun Lianda's old friend was furious and simply stopped taking a graduate student, which was a silent protest to the relevant departments.
"Teacher, English is not a big problem, but I don't understand advanced mathematics very much..."
Looking at the thick stack of books on the coffee table, Fang Yi couldn't help scratching his head. The fat man had sent him tapes and textbooks to learn English before, and the radio that Fang Yi tinkered with could also hear some English teaching radios. Although he was not very good, Fang Yi's English vocabulary was still good.
Compared to English, Fang Yi is a bit worse in the advanced mathematics course. Without the teacher's explanation, he was dizzy about formulas such as trigonometric functions. If he wanted to take the advanced mathematics exam, Fang Yi would probably not be able to answer any other questions except for the multiple-choice questions.
"In our subject, advanced mathematics may not be a must-have exam. I just let you review it..." When Fang Yi said that English was not bad, Old Sun's face suddenly showed a look of surprise. He originally thought that Fang Yi, who grew up on the mountain, didn't even recognize the twenty-four English letters.
As for high-level mathematics, I didn’t take the exam last year. Sun Lianda just heard that it was possible to take the exam this year, which made people find books related to high-level mathematics. As long as you wait another month, you will know the subjects that you must take this year.
"This is what..."
Mr. Sun stood up excitedly, walked back and forth in the living room for a few times, and said, "From the 135th, you can learn professional knowledge from me, 246th, you can learn English with English tutors, and on Sunday you can take time to memorize politics, and we will strive to pass the exam at the beginning of next year..."
Checking Fang Yi's academic qualifications is only the first step, but whether he can get a graduate student needs Fang Yi to work hard on his own. Sun Lianda originally had only hope of 30% or 40%, but today he communicated with Fang Yi, and this hope immediately rose to 70% or 80%.
"Okay, teacher, I will work hard..."
Fang Yi nodded seriously. Although he had learned a lot of skills that ordinary people could not get in touch with for more than ten years in the mountains, Fang Yi's understanding of modern science is not as good as that of many current junior high school students. At this time, Fang Yi was like a dehydrated sponge, eager to enrich himself.
"Come on, let's start our first class today. I'll tell you about the origin and development of museum science. Modern museum science is generally set up with archaeology or history majors..."
Although Sun Lianda is preparing to teach Fang Yi about antique identification, he has no specialty in archaeology in China, and there is no professional course such as antique identification. Besides, Sun Lianda is also a professor in the museum department, and Fang Yi's graduate student can only apply for the museum department.
However, the three majors of the Museum Department, the Archaeology Department and the History Department are complementary to some extent. The so-called "one connection" is the deputy director of the National Cultural Relics Appraisal Committee, and are like the figure of the Taishan Beidou in the cultural relics industry and antiques.
Therefore, students who graduated from the museum department have made their mark in the cultural relics industry, which is considered to be a professional. Of course, if you want to become an expert in antique cultural relics identification when you learn Arabic, it is absolutely impossible not to say it, but no one in the industry will admit that he is a professional.
Sun Lianda will hold an empty class at Jinling University every week. The knowledge he taught is easy to understand. With Fang Yi's historical foundation, he can easily listen to it. After more than two hours of course, both Sun Lianda and Fang Yi were still a little impressed.
"Teacher, let's get here today..."
Fang Yi looked at the wall clock on the wall, then looked at the teacher's excited and tired face, and immediately said, "Teacher, please rest early, and bring you some early when I set up the stall tomorrow..."
"Okay, Fang Yi, there are two thousand dollars on the table, you can use it first..."
Before Fang Yi could refuse, Sun Lianda continued: "In college, graduate students need to help teachers complete some scientific research projects. The school will allocate some funds, so you can take this money first, and the teacher will not give you money when doing the project..."
Sun Lianda's words were not to comfort Fang Yi, but it was true. As a well-known archaeological and cultural relics expert in China, as long as a larger tomb is unearthed, the relevant departments will ask Sun Lianda to form a team to demonstrate the unearthed cultural relics, so Sun Lianda has never short of funds.
"Okay, I'll take it, thank you teacher..."
After hearing Mr. Sun say this, Fang Yi was not polite. He immediately took the 2,000 yuan from the table into his pocket, cleaned the tea cup used by the teacher and wiped the tea table, and Fang Yi said goodbye and left.
"I have no regrets in this life after getting this good disciple..."
Looking at Fang Yi leaving, Sun Lianda smiled with relief. Fang Yi was very clear when he was giving a lecture just now, and he could put forward his own opinions on many issues, which made Sun Lianda very happy.
