Chapter 669

I didn't expect that someone was eavesdropping on my conversation with Chen Qian.

I can only ha ha, this, seems to be a bit inappropriate, if we are talking about some whispers that are not suitable for children, if it is heard by others Except for embarrassment, we're left with embarrassment.

Turning around, I saw an old man about 60 years old looking at Chen Qian and me with a smile.

"Young man, if I may take the liberty, ha ha, what you said just now is good. You know that the two words of stele forest are mentioned by Lin Zexu, very good, very good!"

I don't know what's so good about this allusion. In fact, when I was a child, my grandfather took me to the forest of Steles at least three times. Don't tell me that I knew it well. Even some other legends and stories, as long as they didn't belong to the category of lonely literature and little knowledge, I could tell one or two or three.

"I'm flattered, old man, I'm flattered!"

I said modestly, but the other side shook his head, "young people today, if you ask him what the island animation has and what the firecracker movie has, you can tell you the truth! But if you ask about the history of China for thousands of years and some allusions, you may not know Well

I smile, "the old man said! However, animation represents the trend, and it's not bad for young people to like it. As long as we strengthen the education of traditional culture, we will naturally realize the significance of Chinese civilization to the nation and its influence on the world when we get older. "

"Well said! Young man, it seems that you don't like those video games and cartoons... "

"Hehe, it's not..." I took a look at the old man. "In fact, I used to see Besides, it's not the firecracker sea shadow, it's the firecracker sea shadow... "

"You, ha ha ~ ~"

the old man was amused by my words. In a burst of laughter, he pointed at me with his finger, "you boy, ha ha, OK, it seems that I am really old! However, young people should keep pace with the times, but they should never forget their roots! "

"What the old man taught us is that!"

I don't know why, I always feel that there is a kind of arrogance in this old man, so that Chen Qian and I seem to be a little reluctant to speak in front of him.

So my attitude is very correct!

In a place like Xijing, not far from the revolutionary base of Yan'an, who knows who will meet some big names?

"Ha ha, don't be so nervous. There is no one to educate."

The old man said with a smile, "there must be a teacher for three people. You see, with your little girlfriend, there are just three of us. So, maybe you can educate my old man!"

"Dare not, dare not!"

I said in the mouth, but quietly swept all around

Immediately, my egg began to hurt.

"Young man, since you talk about the forest of Steles, let me ask you, have you noticed anything special about the word" stele "in the forest of Steles?"

Before I said anything, Chen Qian, who was already beaming with joy because the old man called her my "little girlfriend", answered, "what's the difference? Let me see By the way, old man, it seems that the word "tablet" is missing It's true that there's no such thing as that

Qian elder sister finish saying, then pull my arm, eyes Ba Ba Ba to see to me way, "Jiang Feng, you pour is to say ah, isn't missing a pie, why less?"

"Qian "Pretty girl

I guess Chen Qian didn't call me Xiao Feng, but decided to be my cheap "little girl friend" for a few hours. Instead of calling her sister Qian, I just yelled at her sister Qian with Xiao Chong.

"Hiss ~ ~"

there was a sharp pain in my arm. This beautiful girl is really strong.

I hastened to answer her, "it's really a little less, you're right!"

"But why? It's such a solemn place, and it's written by Lord Lin Zexu himself Isn't it a typo? "

As Chen Qian asked me, the old man's eyes also turned to me, smiling, obviously waiting for my answer.

I understand that the other party must know the standard answer to this question. They are trying to teach me!

"Xiaoqian, old man, do you want me to make a fool of myself?"

The other two shook their heads again and again, indicating that there was absolutely no such meaning.

I don't want to tell the truth anymore, "then I'll tell you what's wrong, please correct me!"

"Go ahead, please!"

The old man was surprised to see that I didn't mean to continue to shirk. He didn't expect that I was so young, but he knew this allusion that most of Xijing people didn't know.

I took a deep breath, cheered up, and suppressed the speculation about the old man's identity. Then I said, "there are many ways to say that the word" Bei "in the forest of Steles is missing. First, before the Song Dynasty, it is said that the word "Bei" itself did not have this apostrophe. Some people think that the word "Bei" was written in the Tang Dynasty, but there was no apostrophe in the writing of "Bei" in the Tang Dynasty. The reason is that the printing technology of Tang Dynasty was relatively backward, and the word "Biao" was out of line, which could not be effectively controlled. I think there is a certain basis for this argument. People in the Wei, Jin and Tang Dynasties did not have this kind of apostrophe on the "tablet" characters in the Great Dictionary of calligraphy. It was only after the Song Dynasty that this apostrophe appeared on all the "tablet" characters, because movable type printing had been invented in that era! "My answer was obviously beyond the old man's expectation. The other party nodded repeatedly, "well said, the young man really has insight!"

I smile, "the second way is to say that the inscription" forest of Steles "was written by Mr. Lin Zexu, who had just been dismissed from his post. After the Opium War, Lin Zexu was dismissed from his post of garrison in Yili, Xinjiang, and wrote the word" forest of Steles "when he passed through Xijing. He was in a very bad mood at that time, so he deliberately wrote a little bit less when he wrote the word "stele", which symbolized that he had lost his black hat and could not share the country's worries when he went to the border. "

This time, the old man didn't praise me again, but his eyes were bright and he nodded frequently.

"Third, some people think that it's normal to have fewer strokes in calligraphy. This is because ancient Chinese characters paid attention to symmetry when they were written. The word" tablet "was missing one stroke, just to look symmetrical and beautiful. The last point of view is that it's not uncommon for historical celebrities to make mistakes. For example, the holy land of Lingyi in Wutai Mountain was written by Emperor Kangxi, but it's missing a horizontal line. Emperor Xianfeng of the Qing Dynasty once inscribed the word "yuan of repaying kindness" in dule temple, Jixian County, T City, and the word "Yuan" was also missing a horizontal line. "

I told the story that the words "tablet" in the forest of Steles were short of one word at a time. Then I suddenly asked, "old man, what kind of view do you support? Or do you have any original ideas? "

What I said seemed to be right, but Qianjie and the old man were listening with interest, but they didn't expect that I suddenly kicked the ball to the questioner.

So Chen Qian and I turned to the old man again to hear what he said.

The reason why I asked the other side this question, there is another meaning!

If I guess correctly, the mysterious old man we met has a very special identity, and I just want to take this opportunity to be a scheming bitch and verify
