Ling Tian spent two weeks in school peacefully. In the past two weeks, there was an endless stream of killers who killed Ling Tian, ​​but they were all dealt with by the Six Paths of Reincarnation. Ling Tian couldn't help but admire that having a few expert bodyguards saved a lot of trouble.

In the Lin family villa, Lin Xiong said to Lin Zhendong: "Ling Tian, ​​that boy is really powerful. The reward has been increased to 50 million. He is still alive and well. Zhendong is preparing 100 million to send to "Bloody Dusk"

, I don’t believe that even “Bloody Dusk” can’t kill that kid.”

Lin Zhendong was shocked. Among the "Bloody Dusk" world killer organizations, apart from the number one "Purgatory Angel", it is the most powerful. It has never failed since its establishment. The number of "Bloody Dusk" is not large, but the individuals in the organization

All of them are top-notch masters

Lin Zhendong turned around and was about to go out, when Lin Xiong shouted again: "Zhendong, in addition to sending 100 million to "Bloody Dusk", he is also preparing 100 billion in funds to defeat the Chen family's Zhengfeng Group. I want Lingtian to be attacked from both sides."

"Yes" Lin Zhendong left quickly

Tonight is the annual school celebration performance. Ling Tian is walking alone by the small lake on campus. Ke Xin and Zhao Ling'er have already gone to the backstage to rehearse.

At this time, an old man in his fifties or sixties and a girl in her early twenties were discussing something, and Ling Tian walked over.

"Wan'er, do you know why people nowadays like poetry?" the old man asked the girl named Wan'er.

Ling Tian looked at the girl. She was wearing a white dress, her manners were elegant, and she had an otherworldly temperament. She was one of the few top-notch women in the world.

The girl looked at the old man and said, "Grandpa, the reason why modern people like poetry is because poetry can implicitly express people's rich thoughts and feelings with concise language, rich imagery and exquisite and strict rhythm."

The old man nodded in approval, and suddenly saw Ling Tian standing next to him, so he asked: "Young man, do you have any other answers to the same topic?"

Ling Tian wondered why the old man asked him, and said: "The ancients liked poetry, and we also like poetry, but why don't any of us like poetry? Of course, it's because of the different cultures we accept. The ancients wrote poetry because of it.

It was the basic genre of literature at that time. Poetry is a special language that can express the poet's emotions vividly. The basic genre of literature today is vernacular. Vernacular is a processed written language based on people's spoken language today.

The common people can understand and understand it. It is a language written to fully express people’s emotions and a language that everyone can understand. There is no such thing as who is good or who is bad.”

Ling Tian paused for a moment and then recited a poem: Fifty strings of brocade harp for no reason, one string and one column, remembering the dawn of Zhuang's youth and being fascinated by butterflies, looking forward to the emperor's spring heart holding the cuckoo in the sea, the moon and pearls with tears, the warm sun in Lantian creates smoke here

Love can wait to be recalled, but it was already at a loss at that time

Ling Tian continued: "Poetry is mainly about chanting, literature is mainly about chanting, and songs are mainly about singing. The so-called poetry must recite its meaning, the text must recite its words, and the song must chant its sound. What is chanting? I think today

It has almost been lost, and no one can recite it. How can anyone know its charm? So today people only appreciate poetry. What a pity! What a pity! The ancients wrote poems to express their meaning through chanting, so that people can understand what they mean by listening to it."

The old man was shocked, and then said: "Young man, continue"

"Chinese culture began to rise and develop rapidly from the Spring and Autumn Period. Since then, almost every dynasty and each region has its own literary genre, such as the Spring and Autumn Book of Songs, Han Fu, Tang poetry, Song lyrics, Yuan opera, and Ming and Qing novels. Each genre has its own writing

And language expression, but now we have no problem with these, only appreciation and no resonance. The main reason is that we have lost the language expression. How can we use the vernacular tone to express the style of ancient learning to resonate with us? It cannot be allowed.

How can anyone develop and inherit a literary style that resonates with people?"

"Young man, is the decline of ancient Chinese culture caused by faults in modern history? Is the state's promotion of modern literature one of the reasons?" the old man asked.

"I think the main reason for the decline of Chinese culture is not because of modern wars. Of course, this is also one of the reasons."

"I believe that the decline of Chinese culture has gone through two periods, one is the Yuan Dynasty, and the other is the Qing Dynasty. From the rise of the Spring and Autumn Period to the Qing Dynasty, Chinese culture has always developed centered on the Central Plains region, which was passed down from the Han Dynasty.

The culture of the Han nationality and the culture of other ethnic minorities have always lagged far behind the Han nationality. This means that Chinese civilization has always been Han civilization and the rulers of the country have always been basically Han people. However, in the Yuan and Qing dynasties, they ruled as ethnic minorities.

The thoughts of the Han nationality and its rulers have affected the development of culture. The autocratic power of the feudal rulers did not allow them to advocate and learn from the Han nationality. During the hundreds of years that the Yuan Dynasty ruled China, the status of the Han nationality was low. Scholars did not dare to speak. The culture had begun to disappear. The Yuan Dynasty

Qu is a kind of sadness. It is the product of the Han people giving up a thousand years of civilization to flatter the rulers under the high pressure of the rulers. Even though it was only a short century, the culture of the Ming Dynasty was far from being comparable to that of the Song Dynasty. As the second dynasty in Chinese history

The ethnic minorities who rule China have further suppressed the culture that was slowly restored during the Ming Dynasty. This is not a suppression of governance, but an ideological suppression that makes the Han people lose their confidence again. The foreign aggression experienced by the Qing Dynasty has basically destroyed almost all of China.

Thousands of years of civilization have been discarded in the long river of history. A nation without culture has no hope. In modern times, vernacular culture is advocated, and the introduction of foreign culture is also a last resort. Foreign culture is younger than culture and is easier to be accepted by the world. At the same time, we do not have time.

To trace back thousands of years of civilization.”

"Young man, can you say that we can only cherish the memory of China's splendid ancient culture, but we can no longer possess it?"

Ling Tian smiled calmly, "This question is worth thinking about. In fact, most of China's thousands of years of civilization are still alive, such as the living habits, the Chinese people's golden mean, the inheritance of writing, etc., they are still built, and those that have disappeared

Mainly in terms of culture, but if it continues, I think other civilizations that have been passed down will slowly disappear. We are not asking everyone to hold on to the things that have been passed down, but we are asking everyone to improve the civilizations that have been passed down based on reality.

, just like from the Book of Songs in the Spring and Autumn Period to the Fu of the Han Dynasty to the poetry of the Tang and Song Dynasties, this is a manifestation of the progress of civilization at all times."

"Young people are so wonderful. Although I have studied ancient science for decades, I didn't realize until today that I know too little about ancient science." The old man kept saying with tears in his eyes. He was in his 60s.

, has devoted decades to ancient learning, and it is only today that he has truly realized the charm of ancient learning. Only he can know whether it is a blessing or a tragedy.

Ling Tian looked at the old man in front of him. Although he was well-maintained, gray hair could be seen everywhere. How can a person who has dedicated decades to literature be called respectable? "The old man is too modest. The boy just knows a few things."

"Boy, I have something else to do. I'll take my leave now." After saying that, Ling Tian turned around and ran away. He didn't want to be chased by Mr. Wang last time.

The old man sighed sadly and said to Wan'er: "Wan'er, go check his identity."
