Chapter 519 "Age of Awakening"

Another day later, Fang Minghua and his party finished their trip to Han Lake and boarded the train back to Xijing.

The 10 days I spent here were generally quite enjoyable. I saw the beautiful scenery of Han Lake and the cultural relics, but drinking and dancing every day was a bit unbearable.

After returning home, his daughter-in-law Song Tangtang came back in the evening, and the young couple cuddled on the sofa. Fang Minghua told her about his trip to Han Lake.

Song Tangtang didn't say anything about her husband drinking and dancing. It was like this in society now, and Fang Minghua was better off.

He just touched the girl's little hands and hugged her slim waist, nothing else, and Song Tangtang knew that Fang Minghua's dancing posture was very formal.

I wasn't too surprised when I heard him talk about "cultural prose".

There is no doubt that her husband’s talent in the field of literature is novels, poetry, and literary theory, especially novels.

He can write both hazy and avant-garde works that make people watch such as "The Sun Also Rises", "Roadside Picnic" and "Xiao Dongmei's Wandering Classic of Mountains and Seas", as well as popular martial arts works such as "The Fighting Swordsman in the Snow".

Of course, writing love novels is also a skill, and Song Tangtang even suspected that he could write erotic novels. The stories this guy told when the two were having sex made her blush. Where did she know so many embarrassing things?

Of course, I just want her to listen, and I can't tell other women.

"Okay, I'm going to do my business." Fang Minghua stood up and walked to the study.

"What are you doing? Are you going to write your cultural prose?" Song Tangtang asked subconsciously.

"Practice calligraphy!"

Who asked me to agree to that Xu Yue and write the cover for his magazine? What if I don’t practice hard and make Jia Pingwa and the others laugh?

Of course, he wanted to write the cultural prose as soon as possible.

In addition to the humanistic history of the Tianhan area, Fang Minghua is also planning to write about what he saw and heard along the way to Baiyin, Gansu Province, to form a series.

Of course, writing this kind of humanistic history must have relatively detailed historical materials, otherwise it will be a joke. Before leaving from Tianhan, Fang Minghua asked Wang Peng to get the county annals of the counties in the Tianhan area, as well as the ancient plank roads of Baohe River and Wumen. For archaeological data on famous historical sites such as weirs, you have to go to Western University to check the relevant data.

The predecessor of Northwest University was the National Northwest Associated University. During the Anti-Japanese War, some teachers and students of Northwest Associated University moved to the Tianhan area and established the School of Engineering, School of Law and Business, and College of Agriculture of Northwest Associated University, which were distributed in various counties of Tianhan.

While studying, teachers and students conducted archaeological research on the cultural relics and monuments in the Tianhan area, forming a wealth of historical materials, which are all stored in the West University Library. These are all Fang Minghua needs.

This afternoon, Fang Minghua drove to the library of Xi'an University. The car parked on the street opposite the entrance of Xi'an University and walked into the campus.

Every time Fang Minghua comes to Western University, he usually drives. However, the car has never been inside and has always been parked outside the campus.

The university campus in this era is still a pure land, there is no need to drive in and show off.

The weather is nice today, the wind is sunny and sunny. Fang Minghua walks on campus and encounters students who greet him from time to time.

"Teacher Fang."

"Professor Fang"

Fang Minghua responded with a smile.

Fang Minghua is now a visiting professor at Western University. He lectures to undergraduates and graduate students. Many students come to attend the lectures because of his reputation, and many people know him.

Fortunately, we have now entered the 1990s, and the craze for literature has begun to cool down. Unlike the early 1980s, those literary enthusiasts would either ask for advice from writers with their own poems and novels, or they would just ignore everything. Let’s discuss some literature first.

Fang Minghua turned a corner and saw an old man face to face.

Liu Jianjun, vice president of Western University and former director of the Chinese Department.

"Principal Liu" Fang Minghua took the initiative to greet him.

"Minghua, are you here to check information?" Liu Jianjun said.

"Yes, I want to write some prose travel notes."

Liu Jianjun was surprised when he heard this.

"Prose? Minghua, I have seen you write novels, poems, or literary theories, but I have never seen you write prose."

"I went to Tianhan not long ago and visited some historical and cultural monuments, so I wanted to write about this." Fang Minghua answered truthfully.

"This is very good. Let me read it after you finish it."

"I don't dare. I'll let you give me guidance when the time comes."

The two exchanged pleasantries for a few words and then left. Liu Jianjun did not forget to say a few words before leaving.

"Minghua, you will be giving lectures at school soon."

I.

Fang Minghua is a visiting professor at Western University. There is no specific arrangement for the lecture time. He only guarantees how many lectures he will give in a semester. He went to Tianhan some time ago and has not been to Western University recently.

After a week of preparation, Fang Minghua finally started writing.

First, let’s talk about "Gun Xue" written by Cao Cao that I saw in the museum. It talks about the "Three Caos" and the "Seven Sons of Jian'an", and describes the famous "Jian'an character" in history, calling it the "Awakening Age" of Chinese literature. Because from this time onwards people began to realize that literature has its own value and independent status.

The title is called "The Age of Awakening"

"In a national historical and cultural city, Han Lake is known as the "Throat of Qin and Ba and the Home of Plank Roads". Among the many historical relics since the Western Han Dynasty, the most famous one is the "treasure of the town" in the HZ Municipal Museum—— The exquisite stone carvings on the cliffs of Thirteen Sides, namely "Shimen Thirteen Products of Han and Wei Dynasties", come from Baohe River.

"Xu Shen's "Shuowen Jiezi" of the Eastern Han Dynasty says: "Han, Yangye, with Canglangshui in the east. "The Han River was originally named Yangshui. Because the Han tribe of Emperor Yao's eldest son Jianming (characterized by Han) moved here, they changed "Yang" to "Han".

"The pre-Qin work "The Classic of Mountains and Seas? The Classic of Western Mountains" says: "On the mountain of Panzhong, the Han River flows out, and the southeast flows into the Mian River. "In the Baohe River Valley where Mianshui River merges with the Hanjiang River, the cliffs and huge rocks reveal this long-dusted history. It seems that everything in the past has been revealed."

"History, anchored by the water, is like a rickety boat; pain, but it has long been empty, leaving only the suspicious moss covering the sharp edge of the knife and ax and the two big characters "Gun Xue"

Another article, "Columbus of the East", describes Zhang Qian, the pioneer of the Silk Road, who was sent to the Western Regions as an envoy during the Western Han Dynasty, and discussed the opening up of ancient China to the outside world, "the world is unified and all nations are in harmony"...

There is also an article called "Night Rain on Bashan". I was passing by the foot of Bashan, and I remembered Li Shangyin's famous Qijue "Night Rain Sends to the North" "You asked about the return date but it has not been scheduled, and the night rain on Bashan swelled the autumn pool. Why should we cut the candles from the west window together? "When It Rains in Bashan" talks about "homesickness" as an eternal theme among Chinese literati...

Of course, there is also the trip to Wumenyan to fulfill the words of the old man named Yang.

Yu Qiuyu has a prose "Dujiangyan" that you can learn from. The name of the prose is "From Dujiangyan to Wumenyan".

"People like Li Bing and Tang Lefang should find a quiet place to commemorate them. Building an Erwang Temple and a Tanggong Temple is also in line with the public's wishes.

"Those who truly benefit the people will be promoted to gods, and the world of gods will become reasonable, amiable and amiable. Chinese religion has a secular flavor, so secular relationships will also be stained with religious flecks. Once they come and go, Dujiangyan , Meridian Weir turned into a bridge connecting the two realms."

Fang Minghua wrote four articles in one breath.
