After finishing the poem "Taishan", He Ruchu and the others gathered around to read the new poem.
Naturally, there are no words of praise in his words.
Putting aside the last two sentences, this poem has described the scenery of Mount Tai to the extreme.
I bow my head to Yuan Qilu, and look eastward to the sea like a cup. The first two sentences set the tone and set the perspective.
He Ruchu pointed to the first two sentences and said with a smile, "Du Fu, the poet sage, once used 'Looking at all the small mountains at a glance' to highlight the height of Mount Tai. Now Zhang Zhong's sentence 'Looking eastward at the sea is like a cup' highlights the majesty of Mount Tai. The two are different.
Different approaches but similar results."
Xu Hai nodded, "The whole poem is clean and majestic."
They did not ask Zhang Zhong why he paused just now.
It's boring to ask about cultural people.
This can probably be regarded as the "hypocrisy" of cultural people.
After the poem is written, the painting is finished.
Everyone moved to a wooden table not far away, leaving the paintings hanging on the previous table to dry.
"This is the white tea that Dean He gave me before. Today I borrowed flowers to offer to Buddha." Liang Xiao took out a bag of tea leaves from his cabinet and made water for Zhang Zhong and others.
He Ruchu had some objections to what Liang Xiao said about "giving tea leaves", "Is this a gift from me? You obviously stole it."
Liang Xiao smiled while pouring water, "You weren't around when I was getting the tea, so how could it be considered robbery?"
"That's stealing."
"Didn't I tell you later, how can it be considered stealing?"
Zhang Zhong also laughed and said, "How can the things done by scholars be considered stealing?"
"What's that?" Xu Hai asked.
"It should be said to be plagiarism." Zhang Zhong replied.
He Ruchu was stunned for a moment, then he tasted the words "steal" and "steal" again, and then he suddenly realized and said with a smile, "The word steal is used well, it just highlights Director Liang's affectation."
The gag mentioned by Zhang Zhong comes from "Kong Yiji". Kong Yiji said, can the things done by scholars be considered stealing?
In fact, there is no essential difference between stealing and plagiarism. It is just that most scholars use plagiarism instead of stealing when writing.
In ancient times, in order to distinguish their identities, people of different classes liked to deliberately use different words.
For example, the word "you" in the second person is not an ancient word like the "I" in the first person, but it also appeared very early. However, in the past, most literati did not like to use this word because it is a vulgar word.
Even in modern times, literati did not often use "you" to address others.
In fact, there are also situations like this now. For example, many people don't like to use the first person pronoun "me", but always use "people" instead, such as "people use their small fists to hit your chest"...
Kong Yiji argued so forcefully because he was a scholar at heart, or in his opinion, it was "pride."
Although He Ruchu and the others had never heard of "Kong Yiji", it did not affect their ability to understand its meaning.
A few adults were drinking tea and chatting happily.
But Pengpeng was young and had a wild temper. After sitting next to Zhang Zhong and the others for a while, she couldn't sit still. She looked around and twisted around as if there were nails on the bench.
Xu Yuhan knew that she couldn't sit still, so she said to Zhang Zhong and the others, "I'll take Pengpeng around."
He Ruchu said, "You are from Central America, and this is half your home. I won't find anyone to guide you."
"Dean He is so polite." Xu Yuhan smiled and pulled Pengpeng out.
The two of them didn't go far, just hanging around the Chinese Painting Department. Xu Yuhan was from the Oil Painting Department, and she rarely came to the Chinese Painting Department, let alone the teaching and research department.
But the place is not big, so you don’t have to worry about getting lost.
Not long after Xu Yuhan and the others went out, Zhang Zhong suddenly received a call from Wang Kewang.
Zhang Zhong took the phone and smiled apologetically at He Ruchu and the others, "Sorry, please answer the phone."
"Excuse me." He Ruchu and the others stopped talking and waited for Zhang Zhong to finish answering the phone.
"Are you in Yanjing?" Wang Kewang asked straight to the point as soon as the call was connected.
Zhang Zhong hummed, "Here he is."
"Can you spare some time at night?" Wang Kewang asked.
Zhang Zhong glanced at Wu Ziyun and the others, but did not answer Wang Kewang's question, but asked, "What's the matter?"
"Today Lin Yuanwen and his group are going to visit the old man, so I'm thinking of asking you all to go there too," Wang Kewang said.
"How is the old man's health lately? I'm afraid that too many people will affect his health."
"He just hopes it will be more lively. If you don't come over, he won't be able to take good care of himself."
Zhang Dian nodded, "Then I'll go there later, I have something else to do at the moment."
"Okay, where are you? I'll pick you up later." Wang Kewang said.
"No, I'll just take a taxi and go there when I'm done."
"By the way, can you bring your partner and Peng Peng with you? The old man wants to take a look. There is also Wu Ziyun, I will call and invite him later."
Zhang Zhong was a little surprised. Why did Wang Meng want to see Yuhan and Pengpeng? Does this mean he really regarded him as his junior?
"Teacher Wu is right next to me. How about I tell him?"
"Let me tell you, give him the phone."
Wang Kewang actually guessed that Zhang Zhong was probably with Wu Ziyun. Zhang Zhong told him about Pengpeng going to Wu Ziyun to learn painting on weekends. However, he thought that since he was inviting people over for dinner, it would be too rude for Zhang Zhong to speak.
So I thought of calling him to invite him, but since Zhang Zhong said so, he didn't need to bother anymore.
Zhang Zhong handed the phone to Wu Ziyun, "Wang Kewang."
Wu Ziyun took the phone with some surprise, "Hey, Editor Wang."
"Dean Wu, do you have time to come over for a casual dinner tonight?"
"Okay, then I'll go there with Zhang Zhong in the evening." Wu Ziyun agreed simply.
"Well, you are a local householder, and Zhang Zhong's family will be left to you." Wang Kewang said with a smile.
"Of course."
"Well, I'll hang up here first. See you in the evening."
"See you or see you."
Wang Kewang hung up the phone, and Wu Ziyun returned the phone to Zhang Zhong, "It's settled."
Zhang nodded, took back his cell phone, and explained to He Ruchu and the others, "Editor Wang of "Poetry" asked us to come over for dinner."
He Ruchu said regretfully, "I originally wanted to have dinner together in the evening, but now I have to shelve it."
"Didn't you eat at noon? There will be plenty of time in the future, so Central America and the others will definitely come here often." Wu Ziyun said with a smile.
He Ruchu nodded, "That's right, let's talk about it next time."
…
Zhang Zhong and the others had been staying in the Shanshui, Flower and Bird Teaching and Research Office until about four o'clock in the afternoon. He Ruchu spoke first, "Since Mr. Wang is hosting a banquet, I won't keep you here longer. Go there early, don't delay things, this time Yan Yan
The transportation in Beijing is not very good.”
"Okay, let's talk about it later."
Zhang Zhong and Wu Ziyun said goodbye to He Ruchu and the others, then found Pengpeng and the others, and rushed to Wang Meng's residence together.
