, this burden eventually fell on Chen Yinke .
But he gave the question "Sun Xingzhe" on the test paper, but half of the candidates handed in the blank paper. In the end, only one candidate gave the three-word answer, which surprised everyone.
Why did Chen Yinke ask this question? What exactly did the candidates answer? How did this sensational test end in the end?
Circle Chen Yinke
mentioned earlier that Zhu Ziqing should have been responsible for the questions in this Tsinghua exam.
After he visited abroad, this task fell on Liu Wendian .
, but Liu Wendian was also very distressed at the time. First of all, he had no professional experience in writing questions and was afraid of messing up this exam.
Secondly, he was busy at the time and really couldn't find time to write a question.
But the faculty was tight at that time. Who should I give this task to?
Just when Liu Wendian was struggling, Chen Yinke happened to visit him. When Liu Wendian saw Chen Yinke, he smiled happily and thought that this matter was finally over. Why do
say so? Because Chen Yinke is really the best candidate for this question!
First of all, Chen Yinke has a very deep reserve of Chinese studies and can easily pick up various literary allusions during class.
For example, he can recite the 25-character posthumous title of Cixi in class, and can also tell the source of the very remote nickname of Nanzhusheng.
Chen Yinke, who was born in a traditional family, can be regarded as an academic nobleman. The experience and knowledge gained from studying abroad have made him a well-deserved academic master.
Even in Tsinghua University , which was gathered in the , Tsinghua University, at that time, Chen Yinke's Chinese studies level was one of the best. When he asked questions, at least the level of the question could be guaranteed.
Secondly, Chen Yinke has his own persistence and is very reliable in doing things. We can also see this from Chen Yinke's academic research.
Due to his birth background, he naturally had the conditions to study Qing history, and this research is also the easiest for him.
However, he believed that the entanglement between the Yining Chen family and the Qing government was too deep. If he studied Qing history, it would be difficult not to immerse himself in his personal family emotions. Once personal emotions are brought in, academic research will no longer be independent and free, which goes against his original intention.
So he would rather study the longer and more difficult history of the Sui and Tang dynasties than touch the Qing dynasties. This kind of persistence is commendable.
But when Chen Yinke heard Liu Wendian's commission, he refused, because he also felt that the admissions exam was a big deal. In a hurry, he was worried that he would not do it well.
However, after learning that the situation was urgent at that time, Chen Yinke finally agreed.
and the two also agreed to complete the question before Liu Wendian went to Beidaihe three days later.
During the past three days, Chen Yinke naturally focused on setting the questions, and finally completed the task successfully and asked two questions.
is a regular composition topic, with the title "Sleepwalking Tsinghua Park Notes".
Another one was shocking. It was actually a pair of pairs, and the title was "Sun Xingzhe"!
three-word puzzle
went to the examination room. I saw the candidates who took the exam questions at the Chinese Department of Tsinghua University this time, and I was somewhat at a loss.
At that time, candidates in the Chinese liberal arts field mainly assessed three types of questions, namely punctuation, missed ordering and writing.
. Here, writing is usually given some words, and then candidates can answer around one of them.
For example, one year's title was to choose one of the five words "lantern", "night", "road", "dark walking" and "hard hot".
looks simple, but in fact, this is a very test of students' literary foundation and family and country feelings. One article can often test the students' skills.
, the title of "Sleeping Traveling in Tsinghua University" issued by Chen Yinge is different. It is not like the above topic, which closely follows the situation and highlights the righteousness of the country.
However, the wonderful meaning of this question is actually the case. Candidates can express their thoughts and their talents and character will be fully revealed between the lines.
What's more rare is that this question is the same for people who have been to Tsinghua University or have been to Tsinghua University in the future. It can be documented or imagined, and has a lot of room for writing.
is also because of this. This composition question is still considered "super-standard", but the second question confuses many candidates.
The Qing government was destroyed, why do you still need " pairs of "?
Chen Yinke later explained this question. He gave this question mainly for four purposes:
examines the level and tone, examines the application of virtual and real characters, examines students' literary background, and examines their ideological structure.
Chen Yinke also emphasized that it is more appropriate to use the pairs themselves to reflect the characteristics of Chinese language.
The great philosopher at that time showed full recognition of this. The short three-word question
fully demonstrates the skills of Chinese studies master Chen Yinke, but for those candidates, it is a bit difficult.
Many candidates are in a mess in the examination room and can't come up with a suitable answer.
Some people think that they can’t be empty, so they fill in the various answers, such as Journey to the West, Zhu Bajie, Sha Wujing , etc.
Some people think they can’t fill in randomly, they can’t understand the essence of this question, and their skills are not enough to solve the problem, so they just leave it empty.
So most of the candidates were blank in answer to this question. When he was reviewing the test papers with
, Chen Yinke was also very disappointed, until he turned to the test paper of a candidate named Zhou Zumo . The answer above made Chen Yinke's eyes lit up and applaud.
"This answer is good, better than what I thought, it's really amazing!"
saw that there were three words written in the blank space of this question: Hu Shizhi.
: What is the best thing about "Hu Shizhi" against "Sun Xingzhe"?
ruthless pair and optimal solution
three-character couplet seems simple, but in fact it has a lot of "findness". For example, there is a saying " ruthless pair ".
In short, it is not only necessary to have a combination of the level and tone and neat parallelism, but also to have irrelevance in the content.
This question asked by Chen Yinke is the reason.
"Sun" is the surname, and "Hu" is the same. "Zhang" means walking, "Shi" means arrival, and "Zhi" and "Zhi" are both function words, which is simply a good match for nature.
It’s no wonder Chen Yinke would say, “His answer is amazing!”
Of course, after the answer was announced later, some candidates felt dissatisfied and felt that their answer was more appropriate.
After all, it is really neat to "ancestor" against "grandson".
However, Chen Yinke believes that couplets mainly focus on a "right, negative, and combination". Only when both of them are elegant and interesting can they be both elegant.
uses "ancestor" to "sun". Although it has taken "anti-" but failed to occupy "union". Unlike "Hu" and "sun", it also has the meaning of "money".
Besides, the word "chong" is much worse than Yajie. Not to mention that this answer is compared with "Hu Shizhi", even compared with Wang Yinzhi .
In fact, in the Tsinghua Chinese Examination that year, there were pairs of exams in each grade.
However, the first-year student's pairing of sub-questions "Sun Xingzhe" is the shortest and most interesting, and the exam is the most important, which is why everyone's attention is attracted.
on the entire test paper only accounts for about 1/10 of the pair, but despite this, it still caused quite controversy.
Fortunately, Chen Yinke explained afterwards and published the knowledge and his good intentions in the newspaper. This matter came to an end. Since the scores of
do not account for much, even if most of the candidates have empty this question, the impact on their overall exam is not too great.
of course, if you can answer it, you will naturally have a more advantage in the exam.
But no matter what, one thing is certain.
That is, in such a tense atmosphere in the examination room and in such a limited examination time, Zhou Zumo, who can give such neat and appropriate answers to "Hu Shizhi", must have real skills. The same is true for
. Later, Zhou Zumo published many works, and he had a deep attainment in the field of phonology and rhyme, becoming a new generation of masters of Chinese studies in my country.
In addition, Zhou Zumo is also a genuine and straightforward person, with a master's temperament, and has made great contributions to the text, phonology and exegesis of New China.
But what’s interesting is that although Zhou Zumo made a big splash in the entrance examination of Tsinghua University, he did not study at Tsinghua University in the end, but went to , Peking University . What’s going on?
The stars are shining, and there are many masters
It turns out that after that exam, Chen Yinke had found Zhou Zumo and had a deep conversation. After a conversation with
, Chen Yinke became more optimistic about Zhou Zumo, and even said in public that
"With his talent and knowledge, you can go to any school in China."
But just when Zhou Zumo was about to enter the school, an unexpected situation occurred. Zhou Zumo, who was from an ordinary background, did not collect enough tuition fees for Tsinghua University.
At that time, many people wanted to fund Zhou Zumo, but in the end he refused. Instead, he later admitted to Peking University .
Zhou Zumo missed Tsinghua, which is worth regretting, but this may not be a bad thing.
Because Chen Yinke also said that the atmosphere at Peking University at that time might be more suitable for Zhou Zumo's development, which may also be an important reason for Zhou Zumo's great success in his career.
Looking back at that era, we have to sigh that there are really many stars and many masters.
Zhu Ziqing, Liu Wendian and Chen Yinke mentioned in the previous article are all peaks in the literary world.
For example, Zhu Ziqing, many friends learned about him through articles in textbooks such as " Back View " and " Lotus Pond Moonlight ".
In fact, in addition to his good prose, his achievements in poetry cannot be ignored.
In the early years, he and Yu Pingbo and others co-founded the poetry monthly magazine , which was the earliest poetry magazine in modern Chinese history, and the impact later was extremely far-reaching.
But if you really want to talk about talent, his talent in prose is really amazing. The article "The Qinhuai River in the Sound of Sound of Soul and Light" has attracted many colleagues to bow their heads and worship it.
Let’s talk about Liu Wendian, this person has both real talent and true personality.
During their university lectures, they talked from the pre-Qin period to modern times, from Greece India to Japan, and they can almost be said to be omniscient and omniscient.
, especially the study of "Zhuangzi", reached the point that it was recognized as the world's number one at that time, and no one dared to say that he had studied it more deeply than him.
When he talked about " Dream of Red Mansions ", Wu Mi, who is also a master of Red Learning , sat down and listened. After finishing his speech, Liu Wendian would like to ask,
"Brother Yu Seng, what do you think I am talking about?"
Liu Mi stood up very respectfully and said repeatedly, "You speak very well!"
The above content shows his amazing talent, and his personality is even more famous than talent.
When the Japanese asked him to give a lecture, he left directly, treating speaking Japanese as a shame, and directly warned the Chinese people,
"The country and nation are a major festival, and you must not be careless. Scholars should cherish their feathers!"
could clearly go directly to the Japanese, but he did not hesitate to travel from Hong Kong and Hainan, and finally it took several months to arrive in Kunming.
is such a temperament, it is never an exaggeration to call a master.
As for Chen Yinke, there is no need to say more. Not to mention how he is learning, it can be seen from Liu Wendian's appreciation of him.
Liu Wendian has a high vision, but when he treated Chen Yinke, he always respected Chen Yinke. He even said,
"I do not admire Chen Yinke's personality and knowledge very much, but 120,000 admire him."
" Southwest Associated University has three professors, he is one, I can only count as half of it..."
is screened by these people personally and carefully cultivated, and coupled with the unique reasons of the times, it was naturally a master at that time.
Of course, with the changes of the times, the exam questions for Tsinghua University's Chinese Department are gradually changing.
For example, the test questions of the Chinese Department of Tsinghua University were later changed to "Asking about the four enlightenment movements that emerged in the Chinese intellectual circle in the past few years before the May 4th", "It is a comparison of the literature and art of free people in the 1930s and about the liberal literary and artistic thoughts in the late 1940s".
Relatively speaking, this type of test questions is more comprehensive for students, and it can be seen that our society is gradually improving.
As for the argument that many people say "there is no master after the Republic of China", we cannot agree with it. We can only say that the master has been there, but just don't like vanity.
