Chapter 109 Outer East Summer Records

Outer East Summer Records Primer This title is an imitation of Gao Shiqi's "Xiangcun Xiaoxia Lu".That book seems to focus on calligraphy and painting, but I can't be so elegant. I just want to talk about some worldly things here.This time I came to Chengdu from Kunming to spend the summer.Xiaoxia originally meant to avoid the heat.According to this meaning, I am simply making a joke, because Kunming is much cooler than Chengdu, and there is absolutely no reason to go from a cool place to a hot place to escape the heat.There is also a new meaning of eliminating summer, which is to change your life and change your appearance.This is a foreign idea, a modern idea, and there is a lot of truth in it.But in this wartime, who should think about this!Who among us public servants would dare to think about this!But now that he's here, no matter how vulgar it is for, he might as well choose an elegant name, be careless, and let him spend the summer.Who is going to break the sand tank and ask the end?

But there are people who ask.Last year, I participated in a summer camp in Kunming, at Guanyin Mountain.The camp was disbanded on July 23.A day or two ago, a tourist asked about it, and we told him that this is a summer camp and it is coming to an end.He said, "It's over? Is daylight saving over?" It was a joke, of course.There are basically two kinds of questions, one is "playing evil", and the other is dead-hearted.If it's a trick, the term summer break here still doesn't seem to hold water.Because today is August 28th, which is the 10th day of the seventh month of the lunar calendar. It is obviously not summer but autumn.However, although the "record" is in autumn, the "record" may as well be in summer; "Xia Xia Lu" can only record the things about eliminating summer, not necessarily for the purpose of eliminating summer.It's better to be sloppy.

The term Waidong refers to the outside of the east gate, and it is a word for sister flowers with Waixi, Wainan and Waibei.People living in Chengdu understand it, but people from other provinces don't understand it.This seems to be a translated term, shoulder to shoulder with the Far East, Near East, and Middle East.Of course, for the sake of documentary, I can also use words such as thatched cottage or thatched cottage, because I do live in a thatched cottage.But I can't help but think of Prime Minister Zhuge and the Ministry of Industry and Technology, how dare I be so bold?My family lives in a nunnery, so it is not unreasonable to call it "Ni'an Xiaoxialu", but others may be surprised just by looking at the title, so why should I pretend to be astonishing?So I wrote down the honest title of "Summer Records in the Outer East" in a sloppy manner.

night university Sichuan University runs evening classes, which deserves our attention.I think it would be better for some historical universities to run night schools instead of rushing to establish some new universities or independent colleges, not focusing on quality but quantity. People with high eyebrows may think that night school is not a thing at all.But if the graduation year is set longer, it will be about the same.Soochow University's night school grades don't seem to be bad.Although university education focuses on improvement, it should also strive to popularize it. Popularization is also the duty of universities.A modern university should not be like a monastery, it should be in harmony with the general society.Moreover, there are not many universities with a history in China, and it is even more obligatory to do so.

Now all kinds of industries are developing, and the number of employees is increasing. Among them, there are people who have graduated from middle school or have the same educational level, and have nowhere to go for further studies.Such people tend to spend their useful energies in frivolous entertainments and illicit amusements.With university evening classes, they have the opportunity to improve their academic skills.This can also improve the efficiency of various undertakings and clarify the dirty air of society. To popularize university education, there are evening schools and night shifts, all of which must be located in the metropolis, so that there are enough practitioners to take the entrance examination.Those who attend night classes can obtain university graduation qualifications or degrees, but those who attend night classes can only obtain specialist qualifications or certificates.The usefulness of a degree has been stipulated for a long time, and no one has considered their usefulness because there has never been a university night class in China.At present, only night schools can be run; if you want to do night classes, you must first ask the government to stipulate that you have graduated from night classes.Although some people learn for the sake of knowledge, there are probably not many such people among various practitioners, and they are generally eager for fame.As far as ordinary people are concerned, it is not bad to use fame to encourage them to learn.How many college students don't think of fame or future when they choose a department?Here we have to lower our eyebrows a bit.

The evening school of Sichuan University is divided into three groups: Chinese Literature, Business Studies and Law.The legal department has a well-established example in Soochow, and business studies are the most prominent studies today, and they all care about it.Only Chinese literature is a cold commodity, and it seems to be unexpected that it is one-third of the world.However, although it is a night school, it is a university. If there are no subjects of national culture, it is difficult to be a big one. This group of settings can be said to be very appropriate.This kind of grouped university night school is still the first test. I hope that the person who hosts it will do it with all my strength, and I hope that the students will not give up half-heartedly.

people and books "Renheshu" is a good name. Mr. Wang Kaiyuan chose this name for his small book, which shows his vision and taste. People and books, in a word, are the world.Which thing in the world has left people?And which one thing can't be separated from the book?I mean the world is all that man knows.Those who know are human beings, and naturally they cannot be separated from humans; if there is knowledge, it must be recorded, and books are also inseparable.In a small sense, people and books are history, and people and books make history; in a small sense, it is biography, which is narrated and commented in Mr. Wang's book.There are large-scale biographies, sketches, fine brushwork, and comics.This book is a skit, a comic.Although it is a small circle in a big circle, it is unambiguously in a big circle. Although what is narrated is small, what you see is big.

This book is divided into three parts.The first part is a biography, the third part is also a fragmented biography, and the second part reviews works that are still biographies.Mr. Wang intends to "arouse readers' interest in studying biographies", which is clearly stated in the preface.There is a long tradition of writing anecdotes of modern and modern celebrities, the so-called notebook novels.This tradition has been transplanted to newspapers for many years.It can be seen that ordinary people like this kind of sketches.But since the "May 4th Movement", the "now" has covered up the "past", and the average young people have lost interest in history, and they have become somewhat indifferent to such sketches.They also like short and sporadic news from the literary world, etc., which shows that they cannot leave people and books after all.

In the preface, I hope that readers will "start from admiration to imitation of great people, and everyone will take pride in being a good man, and be brave and diligent."This is an ambition.Recently, I saw an article in "American Digest", describing how a writer named Yagiel Jr. became famous for his book "Ragged Dick", and how he wrote stories about poor children trying to get rich, which became popular all over the country and inspired people .He wrote "stories of work and triumph, ascension and advancement," creating a new school in American literature.Although his era passed before 1929, many people he created still commemorate the profound and wide influence of his book.It can be seen that literature does have the power to promote life.Mr. Wang's ambition can be achieved, and those who are willing can encourage themselves.

Chengdu poetry Chengdu is said to be the fourth largest city in China.The city is so large that it is not easy to point out its characteristics.It is said that it is a bit like Peiping, yes, it is a bit different.Since it looks like Beiping, it seems that it is not a characteristic of it?However, the beauty is that it looks like but not like.I remember a little poem, how much it can capture this point, it can also capture this big city. This is Mr. Yi Junzuo's poem, and the title seems to be the word "Chengdu".The poem says: The drizzle on Chengdu Road, the fine dust protects the falling flowers.According to the ancient wood supporting the door, crows live around the house.In the evening, the market closes, and tea is enjoyed in the early morning.The flavor of Taiping is full, and the guests of Chu are alone.

People who have lived in Chengdu should be able to appreciate the beauty of this poem.It captures the leisurely taste of Chengdu.Beiping is also free, but Chengdu's leisure is Chengdu's leisure, like but not like, you can't know it unless you distinguish it carefully. "Crows making noise around the house" is naturally the crows making noise on the "ancient wood" "supported by the door".That's the sound and color of "Into Twilight."But the noisy southeast city may not be heard sometimes, and the northwest city is less populated, especially in the residential area of ​​Shaocheng, which is quiet during the day, so you should be able to hear the sad call clearly. There is often drizzle in spring in Chengdu, and there are many flowers in Chengdu, and there are many people who love flowers. The drizzle in spring is the weather for growing flowers.At that time, the so-called "light rain on Tianjie Street is as moist as crisp", the road is quite good, a bit muddy and slippery, but it is not "I can't do it, brother".Walking slowly, breathing the fresh and moist air, it makes people relax in their hearts and bones.If you are walking in the garden and see some fallen flowers from time to time, quietly floating in the dust, clinging to the soft ground, it will be even more idle. In the old houses in Chengdu, there is often a paodong tree or a jujube tree planted in front of the door. It is thick and big, so that people often see only the tree, but not the house, let alone the door.It is not wronged at all to say "support", these trees are rough and stubborn, old-fashioned, and you will never see them in Peiping.But these trees are all old, and they are only "holding" and "holding" leisurely. Chengdu closed really early.When I first arrived a few years ago, I couldn't get used to it; when I came home at 8 o'clock in the evening, the shops on the street would be clapped and slapped, and it was dark and miserable. "Early to bed and early to rise is good for your health", the habit of agricultural society is actually not bad.People here get up really early, and it's an out-and-out record that "the market closes at dusk, and tea is served in the early morning". The spring in Beiping is short and dusty, and there are trees in front of people's houses, but there are many people traveling and few people staying alone.There are teahouses, but they are not popular and not lively enough.Leisure in Peiping is another pattern, so there is no need to discuss it in detail here. "Chuke" is what Mr. Yi calls himself.He "sighed" on Chengdu's "Taiping Flavor".But the "Taiping flavor" written in the poem is actually not harmful to the War of Resistance; what we should lament is probably something else.I was thinking, can this "Taiping style" be "inherited" after the war?In the new industrialized China, Chengdu, a big city, should not be so idle all the time. snake tail When I started writing "Introduction", I worked hard, as if I was going to write a book.But after finishing the last paragraph, I felt exhausted again and again.After all, it is already autumn, and there is no summer to disappear, so the "recording" cannot go on.The ancients said it well. "Come with joy, return with joy", I have to use this as an excuse.This is really a snake tail, although there is no tiger head.I wanted to finish writing the first paragraph and then stop abruptly, but the dragon sees the beginning but does not see the end.But the tiger's head is not enough, so what's the matter with the dragon?Having said that, since the tiger's head can't reach it, the snake's tail can't be called either. To be honest, it's called the snake's foot, but it's not bad. Made on August 30, 1944 (Originally published in the evening issue of Xinmin Daily, September 2-6, 1944)
