After chatting for about half an hour, the award ceremony was about to begin, and the writers who had gathered together had no choice but to disperse and go find their own seats.
"Wei Feng Award is definitely intentional. Why are you sitting together and I have to go to the other side to sit?" Liu Yuan complained naggingly before looking for a seat.
Yu Dongyu rolled his eyes, "Are you treating me like a human being? Aren't I also placed on the other side?"
"You are obviously implicated by me."
"..."
Zhuang Yu smiled and said, "Old Liu, you think too much, why can they still make things difficult for you in your seat? Maybe they don't know about your relationship with us..."
In the end, Zhuang Yu felt that he didn't even believe this reason.
It is impossible for the jury not to know that they have a good relationship, otherwise they would not have arranged the seats for Zhuang Yu, Zhang Zhong and Wang Yi together.
Before Liu Yuan left, an old man wearing a summer jacket came over with a smile, "Old Liu Yuan, why are you still here? I remember that the place assigned to you is not here."
Seeing the person coming, Liu Yuan's eyebrows suddenly stood up, "Fang Ya, I knew it was you."
Fang Ya did not deny it, but nodded generously and said, "I have no choice but to do this. You are such a big black guy of the Wei Feng Prize. Logically speaking, I shouldn't even send you an invitation letter. Now that you are here, I can't let you."
You can influence a few others by your side."
Yu Dongyu seemed to be very familiar with Fang Ya. He curled his lips and said, "What about me? I haven't hacked your Wei Feng Award, have I?"
Fang Ya pressed his hands and said, "Dong Yu, what is our Wei Feng Award? The Wei Feng Award belongs to everyone. As for your position, it was purely accidental. I originally only wanted to arrange for Liu Yuan."
"You can get it." Yu Dongyu didn't buy it at all, "I think it's not unreasonable for Lao Liuhei and your Wei Feng Award to let a bastard like you be the chief judge every year. It's good now, and we have also started to arrange the positions.
, you are not satisfied with your role as the chief judge, so you have taken over the coordinating job?"
"I'm just giving a little advice to the coordinating staff." Fang Ya laughed, and then pulled Liu Yuan to the side, "Liu Yuan, we are sitting together, I will take you there to save you time.
You have to find it yourself. You never have good eyesight, and the lights in the auditorium are not very bright. It is too difficult for you to find a seat..."
The voice gradually faded away, and Zhang Zhong asked curiously, "Who is this Fang Ya?"
Zhuang Yu explained to him, "Fang Ya is the chief judge of the Wei Feng Award and has served for three or four times. Despite his age, he is not more stable than Liu Yuan. These two guys quarreled as soon as they met. We all
I'm used to it. Fang Ya is a pioneer of the Chinese School of Comparative Literature. He doesn't have many novels, but he is quite outstanding in academic research."
The Chinese School of Comparative Literature.
This is a theory, or proposition, put forward by the Chinese themselves.
The so-called comparative literature originated in the 19th century and specifically refers to the comparative study of literature across national and language boundaries, that is, using comparative methods to study literature and literature between nations, countries and countries, or literature and other art forms.
, a fringe subject on the relationship between ideology.
When it comes to comparative literature, everyone usually thinks of two schools, one is the French school and the other is the American school.
The former is in front and the latter is in back.
The reason why the American Pie came out was entirely because of the arrogance and arrogance of the French in literature and art.
At that time, the French School broke away from national literature. After a wide range of research, domestic scholars returned to the self-satisfaction of nationalism. As a result, the French School, as the founder of comparative literature, once evolved into a further expansion of comparative literature.
obstacle.
The American school wants to break the limitations of the French school and conduct comparative studies on literature from two or more countries that have actual contact and influence, as well as literature and other disciplines or artistic categories.
However, the American school is not rigorous enough in the construction of its own theory, has a vague division of research scope, is influenced by formalism, and overemphasizes aesthetic value to the point of violently rejecting things that are difficult to solve using aesthetic research methods.
Neither the French school nor the American school can break away from the Western-centric thinking mode, lack the participation of Eastern scholars in research, ignore the penetration of cultural and literary resources from non-English cultural areas, and have not achieved the "crossover" and "opening up" of comparative literature.
"Purpose.
Therefore, in the 1980s, some domestic scholars called for and advocated the establishment of the Chinese School of Comparative Literature.
Zhuang Yu didn't know much about the Huaxia School of Comparative Literature, and what he could tell Zhang Zhong was limited.
Zhang Zhong’s own understanding of comparative literature is still limited to the “world literature” proposed by Goethe on earth.
Goethe hoped that through global dialogue and exchange, cultures could converge while retaining individuality.
His starting point is to improve cultural tolerance through cultural understanding.
To this end, he wrote many related works, the most prominent of which are two collections of poems, namely "Collection of Poems from the West and the East" and "Ode to the Morning and Dusk of the Four Seasons of Ward". The former was influenced by the Persian poet Hafez, and the latter was influenced by Chinese dramas and novels.
Influence.
Looking at Fang Ya and Liu Yuan who found their seats and sat down, Zhang Zhong said with a smile, "This Mr. Fang Ya has an open-mindedness that is not found in ordinary people."
"I'm just an old naughty boy." Yu Dongyu said with a smile, "I'm leaving too."
After Yu Dongyu left, Wang Yi smiled and said, "Dong Yu was accidentally injured. I think Fang Ya did it deliberately."
Zhang Zhong asked curiously, "How to say?"
Zhuang Yu burst out laughing, "Dong Yu is a guy who gives people nicknames. Once, a few writers and scholars were chatting together, about seven or eight of them. He called Fang Ya Wan Wa. Do you think it's funny or not?"
"Wanwa? This means removing a little bit of the word "square" and removing a "factory" of the word "ya"?"
Wang Yi nodded and said, "You are joking with him. Fang Ya is indeed open-minded, but he likes to joke, and he also holds grudges. If someone teases him, he will tease him back no matter how long it takes. Take Liu Yuan for example this time.
, how long has it been since he scolded Wei Feng for the prize? He still remembered it. This time he made things difficult for him in his seat. So Yu Dongyu called him Wan Wa, mocking him for his small belly. The name should have the word "Wan Wa" in his name.
Remove it.”
Zhang Zhong also laughed, it was all a harmless joke. Fang Ya could "retaliate" against Liu Yuan in such a fair and open manner without denying it at all, which was actually a sign of open-mindedness and quite interesting.
Of course, Liu Yuan and Yu Dongyu would not be really angry with Fang Ya because of this kind of thing, otherwise Liu Yuan would not let Fang Ya pull him over by his arm, and the two of them are still sitting next to each other.
