It is the start of the school season again. From "985 Waste" to "small town test maker", when these Internet hot words gradually became self-deprecating labels for some college graduates and browsing the Douban group of 100,000 people, it is not difficult to find the reasons for the anxiety of the "prides of heaven".

Universities are indeed the distribution centers for young people’s pain points today. Not only students, but also young teachers in colleges and universities. Professional title evaluation, "in-film" anxiety, " grade point " is king, teacher-student relationship... The reality full of pain and helplessness is precisely the real college ecology at the moment. For poor students who have reached today with their own diligence and hard work, they may need to respond to the rapidly changing world with faster adaptability. Through continuous opening up and breaking the isolation of one's own system is precisely the only way to continue learning.

break the volume, start with opening yourself.

In the latest novel "The Little Book of Songs" by the famous writer A Yuan ( People's Literature Press August 2022), the protagonist Ji Yao is the "green pepper" of a key university. He is noble and romantic, and full of idealism, but he acts passively in major life choices: he loves teaching, but sneers at the academic world of fame and fortune; he could have clinged to the daughter of his mentor and obtained academic resources, but chose to take the initiative to retreat to local universities. He refused the olive branch of the department head and gave up the capital to compete in the school. He was eventually forced to leave because of the "elevating or leaving" system and moved to a second-tier university at the foot of Lushan Mountain.

He named his new residence "Jijieju": "What do you want for a young man in a young family?"

The current colleges and universities are not ivory towers, but also a "little book of poetry" where knowledge is pounced on fireworks and seek refuge in the secular world. Academic education, food books, complaining, affectionate and affectionate. When the moon is white and the wind is clear and lively, the elegance and vulgarity are entangled with the fighting of wisdom on campus and the sincerity of dear. The difficulties faced by colleges and universities also bring out another possibility and poetic imagination.

Principal Du is coming to attend the reading club

Text/A Yuan

Since Lao Shang gave Ji Yao a key to the Humanities Building 202, the "Taipei Reading Club" has been changed from the terrace of the Youth Teachers Building to the Humanities Building 202.

Fei Lili once again suggested changing the name of the reading club, because the reading club changed from the terrace of Qingjiao Garden to the classroom of the Humanities Building, and then called "Taipei Reading Club" would not be worthy of its name. But except for Chen Ke, everyone else expressed their opposition. On the one hand, the "Taiwan Reading Club" has been in operation for almost two years and has gained considerable popularity among students. If you change it to another name, it is equivalent to starting over again, which is not counted. On the other hand, I also objected to it for the sake of opposition. If this suggestion was not proposed by Fei Lili, but was proposed by another classmate, even if it was Chen Ke, maybe everyone - especially the two Chinese girls - would agree. After all, the names are not that important. Just like "Dream of Red Mansions", it is called "Stone Record", "Love Monk Record", or "Fengyue Baojian", no matter how you call it, the thing is actually the same thing. But because Fei Lili proposed to change her name, everyone disagreed.

According to Ji Yao's intention, the reading club is still the same as before. He assigned a book, and everyone would go back to read it, and then talk about their reading notes together after reading it. It is not necessary to talk about the theme or narrative techniques seriously, but you can also talk about other things - it should be said, especially other things. For example, once, Chen Ke talked about the architecture and decoration in literary works, their metaphorical relationship with stories and characters. He talked about the Gothic architecture in "Butterfly Dream", talked about the "buttfly curtains, looking at the autumn moon in ", talked about the "small hills overlap and golden destruction", talked about the poetic spiritual orientation of Xiaoxiang Pavilion and Lin Daiyu , talked about the minimalist decoration of Hengwuyuan and the richness and complexity of Xue Baochai . If some classmates hadn't been able to yawn a lot, they wouldn't know where Chen Ke would talk about it. "You are somersault cloud of Sun Wukong . Just one fell swoop, but you were thousands of miles away." said the yawning classmate.Other students also felt that Chen Ke was too far away.

Ko Ji Yao admires Chen Ke's "Sun Wukong's Somersault Cloud" talk. This is naturally. Chen Ke’s “somestool cloud” and Ji Yao’s “running wild horses” are the same. They are both moving forward and moving forward. Of course, Ji Yao's "running wild horses" also requires some particularity, "the body should be dispersed and the spirit should not be dispersed." This is easy to know and difficult to do, because if the body is dispersed and the spirit is not dispersed, you must have considerable skills, otherwise you will not be able to dispersed. Sometimes Ji Yao couldn't do it himself, and sometimes he couldn't come back as he talked. If you can't come back, it's actually a dispersed god.

can't do it, at least that's the correct path of knowledge, Ji Yao will still guide students in this direction. "What's the theme and meaning" and "What's the artistic style research", Ji Yao got a headache when he saw this title. It seemed that literary works were not literary works, but a simple mathematical formula. Just fill in the numbers and you will be done. Or an old-fashioned double-breasted shirt, just stretch your arms in. How can this be done to literature? There are 1,000 Hamlets in a thousand readers, and there are 10,000 Hamlets in a thousand readers. In other words, every reader is a subject, with subjectivity and creativity. If everyone follows the crowd, then there is only one Hamlet for a thousand readers, and there is only one Hamlet for a thousand readers. This is Ji Yao’s consistent reading view. All the students know. So even in other teachers' classes, they will analyze "theme meaning of a certain work" or "the artistic style of a certain work", but Ji Yao will still find ways to "find a unique way". Because Ji Yao talked about studying, in addition to "running wild horses", he also liked to "take a unique approach".

Therefore, there are many students who "take a unique approach" at the reading party, such as Fei Lili. She always likes to talk about works from the perspective of characters and costumes, and another student in the food engineering department always likes to talk about works from the perspective of food. What embarrasses everyone the most is a student in the biology department. He always talks about sex from the perspective of biological science , and the sexual methods in the works. Because this angle is too sensitive, he always talks with a particularly serious and dignified expression, while other students always listen with a particularly serious and dignified expression. Even so, some female classmates still had a lot of opinions and suggested that Teacher Ji—who was privately asking Teacher Ji for advice—revoked the biology student to participate in the reading club. Of course, Ji Yao didn't agree. Sex is an important part of many literary works, such as "Jin Ping Mei", "Love in the Period of Cholera", and "Love in a Small Town". How do you talk about the works if you don't talk about sex? Ji Yao said. Of course, when talking about "Jin Ping Mei", you can also talk about it from other aspects, such as food, such as clothes. Didn't Fei Lili talk about the female aesthetics of Ximen Qing from the perspective of clothing? Therefore, Mr. Lu Xun talked about a "Dream of Red Mansions". The scholars saw the "Yi" and Taoists saw the lust, while the talented men saw the lingering. Although this is criticizing readers for their own words, Ji Yao believes that speaking their own words is also the correct way to read. The girl who suggested blushed when she heard Ji Yao say this. What does Teacher Ji mean? Is she classified as the "Taoists" who "Taoists see lust"?

Ji Yao actually doesn't have this meaning. He just wants students to understand that studying requires their own path and cannot always walk in other people's ruts.

Of course, he doesn't like the way this girl looks for him privately, and just mention it in person if you have any opinions. "I don't agree with you talking about these things." Ji Yao would think it was very good if this female classmate stood up and said on the spot at the reading club. It’s not that her point of view is good, but that she does it very well. He doesn't like people who make small moves behind his back, and he won't encourage students to do so. At his reading party, what to read and how to read should be in Ji Yao's own style.

However, what Ji Yao did not expect was that after the reading club moved from the terrace of Green Pepper Garden to the Humanities Building 202, the era of reading club "taking its own style" ended.

is the poster first. Although Ji Yao said "no need, no need", Lao Shang insisted on Ji Yao posting posters. Why? Ji Yao scratched the back of his neck again. Oh my God! This kakapo ! There was no choice but to teach me again. Fortunately, Lao Shang was very good at "teaching" this, otherwise he would be annoyed by this kakapo - for the influence of the Chinese department, because what would happen to study and how to do it is not your Ji Yao alone, but the Chinese department. It is related to the Chinese department, no, it is related to the image and reputation of the entire Humanities College.

This is a car silly word. Lao Shang said it very skillfully. There is nothing wrong with saying this, but Ji Yao thinks it is too high-sounding, too exaggerated, or too "correct". The words "too correct" make people suspicious and annoying. But if you get tired of it, you can't help it. Ji Yao’s reading club is not on the terrace now. It is not the gossip of teachers and students on the terrace that used to be casually chatting, but in the School of Humanities, it is a serious teaching activity in the Chinese Department. In other words, Ji Yao's reading club has been recruited by Lao Shang. Because of this, let alone deliberately congratulations to Ji Yao. Just post it, it’s not a big deal. Ji Yao is too lazy to argue with Lao Shang. He asked Chen Ke to draw a poster and post it at the door of 202. He thought this would be fine. As a leader, his face is thinner than that of ordinary people, as thin as a cicada's wings, and he can't afford to hurt. Although Ji Yao was tragic, he knew how to give his leader face - of course, he was not hurtful.

Unexpectedly, Lao Shang was very serious and went to see the poster in person. After reading it, he had a lot of opinions. First of all, the painting is too sloppy. Just a few charcoal sketches, saying it is a book, a tree, or a face without facial features. How can this be done? The handwriting is too small and it is written fancy. "Every Friday, we are talking to the great soul." "What does it mean to 'talk with the great soul?' It's so ignorant that I can't tell you what I mean. Also, how can I post a poster in Humanities Building 202? It's the same as not posting. The meaning of a poster lies in external publicity, so if you want to post it, you have to post it outside the Humanities Building, such as bishops, canteens, and administrative buildings."

"Why do you need to post it to the administrative buildings? Do leaders who are busy with troubles have the leisure to attend reading clubs?" Ji Yao asked - he asked this on purpose. Ji Yao naturally understood Lao Shang's intentions. But it is too disgusting to post the poster to the administrative building, or to use Teacher Zhu Yu’s statement "too enchanting" - Zhu Yu likes to use the word "enchanting" to describe the despicable work of some teachers. For example, during the banquet, a teacher bowed to the leader to pick up food. If Zhu Yu happened to be present, he would whisper, "It's so enchanting." During the meeting, a teacher walked up to the stage from the audience to fill the water with the leader, which was obviously full of cups in front of him, and Zhu Yu would whisper, "It's so enchanting." Although Ji Yao would not smile like a concurrence at this time - he was not used to laughing at anyone with others in public, his emotional position was consistent with Zhu Yu's "too enchanting". It may be too difficult for an intellectual to "do something", but "doing something but not doing something" is the minimum ethics. When posting posters in administrative buildings, it should be in the category of "doing something not to do". If you put down your figure and put it on, it will be "too enchanting".

After hearing Ji Yao's question, Lao Shang looked a little strange for a moment, and he looked awkward to laugh or stop talking. A few seconds later, he suddenly felt relieved to reveal a huge secret, and turned to his body, held one hand half as a bud into a bud, hid it on his lips, lowered his voice and asked Ji Yao: Why wouldn't the leader come to attend the reading club? "What does it mean? Ji Yao didn't understand. Lao Shang's voice was lowered, and he almost whispered: "Although this matter has not been decided at the end, I will tell you first. If you know, you have to pretend not to know. Principal Du has already said that he will take some time to attend your reading party in person soon. It may be next week, or next week, so you must be fully prepared for it in Xiaoji. "The old Shang said in a tone of self-containedness.
