191, Guiding Xiaochiyo's homework (seeking full order)
After chatting with Professor Shiraishi for a while, Bai Gui proposed to resign.
He had just returned to Japan, and his work was still quite busy. When he returned to Tokyo University, he not only had to meet Professor Shiraishi, but also went to collect homework sheets from the first-year professors recognized by the Ministry of Education.
Fortunately, the academic tasks assigned by the teachers of Tokyo University’s liberal arts courses are not many.
After all, the first two sentences of the motto of Dongda University are: Win with quality, win with quantity!
There are not many assignments, but the content is relatively difficult.
The issues involved are more profound.
"In universities, there is a saying that goes: First-rate schools focus on education, second-rate schools focus on ideology, third-rate schools focus on discipline, and fourth-rate schools focus on hygiene..."
"Eastern University is a good university. It focuses on education. As long as the quality of education is good, it will be enough."
Bai's private residence.
Bai Gui sat cross-legged on the tatami, placed the homework list on the table, and kept sliding the pen on the plain paper.
Soon he answered each question one by one.
He explained to Chiyo while writing.
"Is that so? Why does Zhuanzhishe give us so many homework assignments? Zhuanzhishe is also a good school..."
"This is just my homework for one day, and it's so much more than yours, Ou Ni-san..."
Xiao Chiyo looked at the pile of homework in front of her and the thin pieces of manuscript paper in front of Bai Gui. She used her fingers to indicate the thickness of the two. She felt a little unbalanced in her heart. She pouted and frowned.
Put on a "bitter" look.
"It's still time for you to lay the foundation."
"More homework will be good for you."
Bai Gui started writing and finished writing the last question.
Get up.
He rubbed Chiyo’s head with two shiny braids,
He shook his head and smiled in relief.
Because he is an honors student at Dongda University, and he did not skip class intentionally this time, the academic tasks during the semester... were deleted as much as the teacher could, and he was only assigned some more difficult questions. There were only two for each subject.
There are three questions, which add up to about fifteen or six questions. But each question is not simple to explain, and requires a huge knowledge reserve...
But knowledge accumulation is not difficult for someone with a photographic memory like him.
He wrote like a god, and in one morning, he finished all the homework one by one.
"Onisan, can you help me with my homework?"
Little Chiyo suddenly thought of something, and her star-like eyes became a little more radiant. For her, it was a difficult question, but for Onisan, it was easy for him and he could get the answer quickly.
"Can."
Bai Gui nodded.
He usually doesn't help others with their homework. If he meets someone who doesn't understand, he can make people mad. However, Chiyo-chan is quite smart. Although he is not a genius who can draw inferences from one example, he can quickly master the things he has been taught...
Moreover, because Chiyo's family was poor, and like him, he had experienced the ups and downs of the world, he knew that learning and advancement was a good way to change his destiny, so he studied extremely hard.
His guidance makes me feel a lot more comfortable.
Teaching people tirelessly is also a joy.
You can also get certain Taoist rewards from it, this is the way of a teacher!
Bai Gui casually took the exercise book that Xiao Chiyo had placed on the short long table. There were red lines on it, which were written in the same way as the dictation questions. Poems were filled in. He took a look at it and nodded slightly. Most of the dictation questions in it were written.
Yes, there are only one or two empty lines, which is a bit difficult.
It is most comfortable to guide homework and guide such knowledgeable people.
He looked towards an empty silent inscription, which read: "Beaded curtains and brocade tents are not aware of the dawn, and the everlasting regrets are endless. Who knows..."
It is marked with the inscription "Ise Shuyong Pavilion Director's Henge Screen" on the side.
This is a Japanese song.
"Onisang, this question is to fill in the Tang poem quoted by this Waka..."
"But there are too many Tang poems, and I'm not proficient in memorizing them, so I can't write them down..."
Xiao Chiyo shook Bai Gui's arm and begged.
"This Japanese song comes from "The Tale of Genji"..."
Bai Gui retrieved his memory, thought for a while and said: "As for Tang poetry, the first line of 'Beaded curtains and brocade tents are not aware of the dawn' should come from "Magpies Stepping on the Branches" written by Feng Yansi in the Tang Dynasty. There is a line in it that says, "Open your eyes and feel the new sorrow."
I’d like to ask if the bead curtain and brocade tent are similar’…”
"And the second one without realizing the dawn is relatively simple, Meng Haoran's "Spring Dawn", spring sleep without realizing the dawn."
Feng Yansi has several songs "Magpie Steps on the Branch", but the most famous "Magpie Steps on the Branch" still belongs to "Magpie Steps on the Branch·Who cares about leisurely love for a long time". There is a sentence in it, "Every day I spend money and often get sick and drink. I dare to say goodbye to the mirror."
Zhu Yan is thin."
A few years ago, Wang Guowei, a master of traditional Chinese culture, wrote a poem for his wife who died of illness. There was a love sentence in it, so he used this sentence and wrote: "The most difficult thing to keep in the world is to leave a beautiful woman behind a mirror and a beautiful tree."
"What about the last sentence?"
Chiyo-chan's face lit up with joy and she said anxiously.
"Who can dream of everlasting regret..."
"'This sentence comes from Bai Juyi's song of everlasting regret: 'Heaven and earth will last forever, but this hatred will last forever'..."
Bai Gui picked up the pen and wrote the source of the poem on it.
"The Tale of Genji" was written by Murasaki Shikibu during the Song Dynasty, so the waka in it were all pieced together from the artistic conception and sentences of Chinese poetry.
Piecing together poems has been around since ancient times and is called "Jiyu".
For example, during Baigui's scientific examination, there were test poems in the imperial examination, which required the use of classics, histories, chapters, collections, and rhymes with one word in each rhyme of the plain tone. Therefore, the candidates often recited some of the standard poems for the scientific examination.
During the exam, I pieced it together. Even if the writing is not satisfactory, at least it will not be too bad and it will not affect the score.
Waka is greatly influenced by Tang poetry, including five-character quatrains and seven-character rhymed poems. However, Japanese people are not as good as the great poets of the Tang Dynasty, and some rhymes and rhymes are not up to standard. So what should I do?
Simple, the splicing is to completely imitate Chinese poetry and Chinese characters...
Of course, there are some Japanese songs that are more beautiful and well written, but they are only a minority.
Bai Gui also gave guidance on the following questions one by one. Some of them were quite difficult, so he directly wrote them in the book himself.
It didn't take long.
"The content of Zhuanzhishe's private school is not simple..."
"No wonder we can produce such famous female writers as Higuchi Ichiyo and Tanabe Ryuko..."
After Bai Gui gave the instructions, he sighed.
Some questions even require him to think carefully before he can give an answer. This is because he mainly studies history, rather than some Japanese songs, poetry and other skills learned in a private school for girls.
Of course he, as a scholar, knew about poetry. However, the subject of the weightlifting exams focused on Eight-legged Strategies and Questions, and did not focus on poetry of the Tang and Song Dynasties. He only had a brief understanding of this aspect, and the time was too short, so he did not spend too long studying it.
Zhuanzhishe is a private school, equivalent to an academy in China, with a very high upper limit...
It's really not an exaggeration to say that some questions can stump him.
"I will also be a female writer like Tanabe-senpai and Higuchi-senpai from now on!"
When Xiao Chiyo heard Bai Gui mention these two women, she nodded seriously and diligently. In the Zhu House, these two recent female writers are also the targets of study for most of the women in the house.
