Panjiayuan Flea Market is different from ordinary markets that are open from Monday to Sunday, and different from ordinary units that have two weekends off. It is open four days every week from Thursday to Sunday, and is closed for the other three days, so there is plenty for tourists.
In his spare time. In the early summer of 2009, he decided to sneak into Yanyuan to catch up on classes, and quit his job as a stall keeper. He only occasionally went to Panjiayuan to do some private sewing work. It happened to be the summer vacation of the university, and he had free time.
There is more time.
After working in Panjiayuan for more than a year, You Fang saved up to 60,000 yuan, excluding the bank card given by his father. He moved again and rented an apartment in a community near the Beijing Aerospace Bridge.
The one-bedroom house is located behind Beijing Technology and Business University, not far from the Atomic Energy Information Institute and Diaoyutai State Guesthouse. The surrounding environment is not bad. Many of the neighbors nearby are teachers or students from Technology and Business University. Nowadays, college students rent houses.
The situation is also very common.
The only noisy place in the neighborhood is the street outside the gate of the community. It is called Zengguang Road between the West Third Ring Road and Ganjiakou. There are many restaurants specializing in northwest ethnic minorities on this street, and there are many people from Xijiang.
Ethnic people gather in Beijing. In the evening, the aroma of grilled naan and grilled mutton skewers fills the air, and shouts with Xijiang accents are heard everywhere. The excitement is lively, but sometimes it is also chaotic.
You Fang lives here, which is a quiet place in the midst of the hustle and bustle. The building behind the community is far away from the noise outside the gate and is quite quiet. More importantly, the rent here is not expensive. You Fang understands Feng Shui, believe it or not,
He also knew how to choose a place with the best environment from all aspects. He originally wanted to live near Beihai, but the rent there was too expensive, so he chose the next best option. He chose a place near the Aerospace Bridge, mainly to practice his inner skills.
boxing.
Every morning before the restaurants on Zengguang Road open, You Fang goes out and walks south along the West Third Ring Road, about one stop or more, to Yuyuantan Park to practice boxing. The air and environment here are good, and there is a pool.
The pond water and the flowers and plants on the shore also make people feel refreshed. It is the place where the Feng Shui spirit gathers in this area of Beijing. It is during this period that You Fang's internal martial arts touches on "the energy can be moved at will, and the sending and receiving are done by the heart"
The threshold of this realm.
In addition to practicing boxing and cultivating inner mind methods, he also often visited the nearby Industrial and Commercial University to inspect the normal classes in general universities. Although it was during the summer vacation, he could grasp a lot of information as long as he paid attention.
Generally, when a university starts, the course schedule of each major for this semester, as well as the class location, majors, minors and public elective subjects are clearly posted on the bulletin board. At the door of each classroom, there is also a notice of this semester's class schedule.
The weekly class schedule is written in great detail: which class is on which day of the week, which major in which department, how many classes are taking what courses in this classroom, and who is teaching? It is mainly to remind students not to go to the wrong classroom. At the same time,
It also reminds students who attend self-study when this classroom is occupied.
These messages were still posted during the summer vacation, and they would not be replaced with new ones until the new semester started. You Fang went through them and basically understood the situation. It was easy to skip classes in college. The only homework he had to do was to prepare for the new semester.
Prepare a course schedule and schedule yourself, and you can choose almost every major in the school, as long as the time can be adjusted.
When the semester started in September 2009, You Fang entered Peking University with his schoolbag on his back. He didn't walk, take a taxi, or squeeze into the bus. Instead, he was picked up by a special car and brought to the campus. The solution was simple, go first
At Beijing West Railway Station, follow the flow of people at the exit to find the welcome pick-up points for major universities.
When you come to the Orientation Office of Peking University, just say "I am a new student", and enthusiastic senior students will immediately take you to a bus specially designed to pick up freshmen, and they will also take the initiative to help carry your luggage, which makes you confused.
It's all because he was embarrassed, and he didn't know how to check the admission notice. That's how You Fang entered Peking University as a "freshman" for "inspection". The school is not far from Zhongguancun, where he once "battled".
…
"Young wanderer, you really have a bad temper towards me. When I was young, I went to Peking City for the first time and took classes in Tsinghua University. You and I wanted to go together." Hearing this, Liu Li suddenly came over.
He was interested and interrupted You Fang's story.
"Senior, have you also taken classes? Which Tsinghua University did you go to? What majors did you study?" You Fang also asked with great interest.
Liu Li shook his head and squinted his eyes as he recalled: "I mainly went to take courses in the Department of Chinese Studies. The teachers in the Department of Chinese Studies at Tsinghua University were all great at that time. I had all attended the classes of Chen Yinke, Wang Guowei, Liang Qichao, and Zhao Yuanren.
Do you know these seniors?"
You Fang smiled and said: "The juniors were born too late, how could they possibly know each other? You mentioned these seniors. Before I went to college, I only had some impressions of Liang Rengong, which was in the middle school textbook."
Liu Li couldn't hold back his chatterbox: "I met Sicheng, the son of Ren Gong's predecessor, in Tsinghua. He had a good family background since he was a child. We even discussed Feng Shui together. Later he became a French architect.
Although the master of Feng Shui is different from the one I learned in practice, he is also one of the few people I deeply admire in my life. He was the one who presided over the design of the Monument to the People's Heroes in Tiananmen Square, did you know?"
How could You Fang not know about Liang Sicheng? He heard Mr. Wu mention it many times that Wu Pingdong was Liang Sicheng's student! Liang Sicheng is an outstanding contemporary architect and educator, and Liu Li said that he is "a master of creating French style and Feng Shui patterns."
, is an evaluation from the perspective of a traditional earth master. You Fang also asked Mr. Wu what was his biggest regret about studying under Mr. Liang Sicheng? Mr. Wu’s answer was a bit surprising - he didn’t have the opportunity to meet the legendary
Mrs. Lin Huiyin.
Because of Mr. Wu's relationship, You Fang was very familiar with the lives of the Liang family and his son, so he immediately asked: "Mr. Liang Sicheng studied in Tsinghua from 1915 to 1923, and Senior Ren Gong lectured in Tsinghua from 1922 to 1927. Do you
I always listened to Senior Ren Gong’s class and met Mr. Sicheng in school, so it should have been between 1922 and 1923. You always claimed that you were thirty-nine years old in the 23rd year of the Republic of China, so you should have been born in
The twenty-first year of the reign of Emperor Guangxu of the Qing Dynasty, that is, 1895..."
Liu Li glared and interrupted him: "Jin Yuelin and I are of the same age, why, don't you believe it? It's true that Pan Jiayuan got out and contracted the problems of those antique bugs, even if he eats with a broken bowl
Don’t forget to take a look at the dating! Do you want to date my old man too?”
You Fang held back his laughter and said: "Senior is as old as he is, and it has nothing to do with whether I believe it or not. Besides, even if I mean this, why would you compare yourself with a broken bowl?...Actually, I just want to ask,
You must have been twenty-seven or eight years old at that time, were you already known as a first-generation Earth Master? Or were you a senior Earth Master who you only met after that?"
Hearing You Fang mention the previous earth master, Liu Li's expression became serious, and he could not help but sit upright: "At that time, I had already become a disciple of the previous master, but I didn't dare to call myself a master yet. The first master said
I am not well-educated enough, so I have to make up for my shortcomings by knowing that I have more than enough, so I thought of going to Tsinghua University to take classes... So you are very similar to me back then, no wonder the more I look at you, the more I like you."
It's not a good thing to be liked by him. In the past two days, You Fang has been in trouble one after another. He has troubles that he can't express, and he can't hide even if he wants to. At this moment, he was blamed by the old man's experience.
Arousing real interest and uncontrollable curiosity, I couldn't help but continue to ask: "Your experience is really amazing. I am very curious. Can you tell me a few more words?"
Liu Li knocked on the table with a straight face: "Are you talking about you or me? Don't forget what you are doing, don't interrupt, and continue to explain!"
…
Taking a class is similar to going through the rivers and lakes to open a tent. You have to step on the plate first. After getting off the bus to welcome new students, there is also an orientation point in the living area. Counselors from each department lead senior students and hold banners of the departments.
They opened tables to welcome their respective new students. You Fang listened around and occasionally chatted with someone. Then he walked around the teaching area. Combining the school introduction materials he had seen before, he basically figured out the situation.
The courses in the university include small classes, large classes, and open classes. The so-called small classes are professional classes that two or thirty people in the same class take in a small classroom. Generally, there are more small classes in senior grades. The so-called big classes are the same major or
Several classes of similar majors take basic courses in a large classroom. The so-called open courses are mostly courses held in large staircase classrooms. The students attending the lectures are not limited to their majors, and they often take electives or minors.
Open classes and large classes are easy to get along with. As long as you sit there and don't cause trouble, no one cares who you are. Some popular open classes require seat reservation in advance, while most large classes do not require seat reservation at all. There are always people in the classroom.
There are empty seats, because there are always people skipping classes, and even if everyone comes, it is impossible to fill the seats. This is a relatively special phenomenon in universities. The classrooms are always full during class, but it is difficult to find a place for self-study before the exam.
Only small classes sound like they are difficult to attend, but in fact they are not troublesome. There must be empty seats in the classroom, and they are often in the center of the first row facing the teacher - students don't want to sit so far forward and conspicuous.
Just go in, sit there and listen to the class.
Even if the teacher on the podium knows that you are not a student in this class, but have come here specially to listen to his lecture, he will usually not kick you out, and will even be secretly happy in his heart. Who doesn’t want to be a teacher?
The more students who come to attend lectures, the better? The more famous teachers from well-known universities, the more likely they are to do this. This is also a common characteristic of intellectuals.
Suppose a nosy student in this class comes over and reminds you: "Classmate, our class has classes, so don't do self-study here."
At this time, you only need to answer shamelessly and with a smile: "I am not a self-study student. I really like this course taught by Teacher XX. I came here specially to listen. If there is no space, I will leave. If there is space, I will sit and listen."
"No one will kick you out in this case, and students are not administrative officials of the Political and Education Office.
With so many majors and so many courses at Peking University, how do you choose? The tourist’s first choice was courses at the School of Archeology and Museology, and the first teacher he looked for was Wu Pingdong, his brother-in-law Chi Muduo’s tutor.
As early as the Republic of China, Yenching University established an archaeological laboratory. After liberation, Peking University established an archeology major in the history department. In 1983, the archeology major was separated from the history department and a separate archeology department was established. In 1998, Peking University and the National
The Department of Archeology was jointly run by the Cultural Relics Bureau and the Department of Archeology was expanded into the School of Archeology and Museum. In 2002, it was renamed the School of Archeology and Museum.
The college is relatively small in Peking University, with only two departments: the Department of Archeology and the Department of Cultural Heritage, and a total of four undergraduate majors: Archeology, Museology, Cultural Relics Protection, and Cultural Relics Architecture. In fact, it only recruits one class of undergraduates each year.
There are thirty students in total. Why does such a college enroll so few students? This is because it also undertakes professional teaching tasks related to other departments, as well as more archaeological and scientific research topics.
Wu Pingdong is in his early sixties and is a doctoral tutor. His main task is to guide graduate students and do research projects. He rarely teaches undergraduate freshmen. But You Fang was lucky enough to find two courses taught by Mr. Wu in the Peking University course schedule.
One course is a mixed course for second-year students in the Department of Architecture and History, with the subject "Ancient Chinese Architecture", and the other is a small professional course "Ancient Chinese Architecture" for third-year undergraduates in the School of Archeology and Museology.
and Burial System”.
These two courses are a must for tourists. As for the rest of the time, just follow the first-year undergraduate freshmen of the School of Archeology and Museology. You don’t have to take all the courses, just choose the basic courses of the major you are interested in.
