Chapter 214 Advancement Will Retreat For Advancement
"Not so much."

Qingyun frowned slightly,
He was reflecting on what he did too much, and he actually forced the other party to the point of looking for death and life.

He carefully sorted out the wording and explained seriously,

"I absolutely did not mean to humiliate Daozong or the two of you.

If my guess is correct, Tao Hongjing, the patriarch of the Taoist sect, should have asked to see his master Zhang Tianshi a few days ago, right? "

Hearing this, the two ghosts seemed to have calmed down a lot. They looked at each other and nodded to Qingyun together.

"They shouldn't have had a good chat that time, could they?"

The Dragon and Tiger Sect has always regarded itself as an authentic celestial master. In their eyes, the celestial masters of the north and south, and the five buckets of rice in Hanzhong are all demons and heretics.

Especially Tao Hongjing, "True Spirit Position Industry Map" cites Yuanshi Tianzun as the supreme god of Taoism, overstepping the supreme,
This is the most unacceptable thing about the inheritance of the dragon and tiger celestial masters.

Therefore, the meeting between Tao Hongjing and Zhang Tianshi has always been a happy gathering but never a good separation.

The black and white ghosts looked at each other again, but they could only continue to nod.

"So! I have some friendship with Sect Master Tao.

If it wasn't for the differences in sects, Sect Master Tao and I could be regarded as half teachers.

What I asked the two of you to help spread the word is indeed pointed out, and there is no intention of insulting it. "

The second ghost was dubious when he heard it, so Qing Yun could only add,
"It all depends on the two of you.

If the two of you think there is anything wrong with these words, then the bet is over.

Since I made the condition, I voluntarily withdraw it, which does not mean that the two of you have broken your oath.

It's just that you two don't get it wrong, there's no need to fight to the death like this. "

His expression was earnest, and the black and white ghosts seemed to feel it too.

Fan Wujiu gritted his teeth, stood up, cupped his fists and said,

"Sect Master Qing is upright, my brother is a villain.

No matter what Xiongtai said, my brother will definitely bring it.

It's just that in the future, my brother is afraid that he will have no face to meet Sect Master Qing again.

Farewell! "

Xie Bi'an didn't seem to have gotten over it, he was about to say something, but was dragged up by Fan Wujiu, turned around and hurried away.

After the two horses left, Li Shenjun sighed,

"I didn't expect that Master Qing's martial arts advanced rapidly, and he reached this level.

With the suzerain's current skill, it is beyond reproach with the other four suzerains. "

Qingyun even said that he didn't dare, and walked side by side with Li Shenjun again, explaining the various adventures that made his martial arts advance by leaps and bounds during this period of time.

Knowing that Qingyun had entered the city, the Little Dragon King personally greeted them and led them back to the Lu Mansion.

It is now the other garden bestowed by the king of Wei on the little dragon king.

"Mr. Hua Yang has been here a few days ago, and the King of Wei brought several princes into Jin Yong City for unified care.

Before the new crown prince canonization, all princes are not allowed to leave Jin Yong.

With Tanzong Gao Bodhisattva guarding Jinyong City, Tianzong may not be so easy to succeed. "

"Oh. Where is Mr. Huayang now?"

The Little Dragon King's complexion also became a little weird,
"I don't know. The manpower of Ren Chengwang has been screened several times.

However, Mr. Hua Yang seemed to have evaporated from the world suddenly, and there was no news. "

This is not a good sign, Qing Yun hurriedly asked,

"Did Mr. Hua Yang remind King Ren Cheng to pay more attention to Qinghe Palace?"

"King Qinghe? Fourth Prince?

He is in the palace now.

Although he is a new prince and has his own mansion, in fact he has not moved in yet.

It seems that a group of Taoist priests have come there recently, and they seem to be from Longhu Mountain.
A few days ago, Mrs. Luo's birthday in Tiangong, these Taoist priests had entered the palace. "

"Master Zhang from Longhu Mountain is also here.

According to Mr. Hua Yang's speculation, Tianshi Zhang is the Dragon King of Tianzong. "

"what?"

Little Dragon King clapped his bald head with his palm-sized hand, making a crisp cracking sound.
"Call the Dragon King in front of this king!
Then I have to take him away. "

"Don't be too hasty.

On that day, Mr. Huayang left behind such a sentence,
Now that there is no evidence, how can we openly break up with them? "

"Then what do you say, fifth brother?"

"Wait. I have already found someone to send a message to Zhang Tianshi.

I guess he will definitely come to me on his own initiative. "

Qingyun, Li Shenjun followed the Little Dragon King into the Lu residence.

Being able to reunite with the second brother and the third brother was another good time.

When Liu Ying heard that Qingyun had defeated Tiannu and Xinu in a row, he was in disbelief, and insisted on going out to compete with Qingyun.

Little Dragon King and Zu Tingzhi took turns to persuade him, but they still couldn't restrain Liu Ying's stubbornness.

Just at this time, the servants of Zhuangzhong quickly came to report,
It is said that there is an old Taoist outside the door, who claims to be Zhang Fu Zhang Tianshi of Longhu Mountain, and asks to see Tangun by name.

Everyone was shocked when they heard this.

"Hey, this Heavenly Master Zhang is really a brave man,

Come alone?Does this mean that my Dragon King's Mansion is like a restaurant and a teahouse?

Fifth brother, he is here to look for you.

We will do whatever you say. "

Qingyun thought for a while, then glanced at Liu Ying,
"My third brother and I will go see him."

"Hey? Why did you pick your third brother? Do you look down on big brother?"

"No, no, after all, third brother doesn't have any public office.

He is a disciple of Xizong Ma Zhexian, and he is also of the same generation as Ma Beizhen Sect Master in terms of seniority.

It is more appropriate to be accompanied by him. "

Tunzhi nodded secretly.

He watched Qingyun grow up, and he could feel his growth in tolerance the most, so he also helped out with a few words.

Xiaolong Wang is naturally a person who knows the general situation, he laughed a few times, then he didn't force anymore, and went to order his servants to clean up the main hall.

Zhang Tianshi was obviously angry when he came.
"May I ask who is Sect Master Qing?
The old Taoist would like to thank him for helping me teach those disciples who are not good enough. "

Qingyun hurriedly stepped forward to salute and answer,
"My lord, Tan Zong Qingyun, this is my third brother, Ma Zhexian's disciple."

"Oh? And the master of Xizong is here."

Zhang Tianshi is of pure blood and has a high status in the Taoist sect.
But in Jianghu, he is not the suzerain after all.

And the two young men in front of him, one is the new Tangun, and the other is the younger brother of the suzerain of Xizong. When it comes to the status in the world, they are not inferior to him.

This old man had no choice but to hold back his arrogance,
"Okay, then Sect Master Qing, let's talk about it first, how did my disciple offend you?

What ulterior thing did I, Zhang, need to be taught by Sect Master Qing? "

Qingyun smiled and said,

"Why is the Daoist so aggressive?

By the way, I heard that Mr. Huayang visited the Taoist priest a few days ago,
About six or seven days ago? "

"Five days ago."

"Oh, since then, has Zhang Tianshi ever seen Sect Master Tao again?"

"Never."

Zhang Tianshi seemed not very interested in the topic of Tao Hongjing, and complained impatiently,

"I heard that Sect Master Qing and Sect Master Tao are very close,

Why are you asking me about his itinerary? "

"Mr. Huayang has been missing for several days, Tianshi may be the last person to see him."

Zhang Tianshi was shocked when he heard this,

"What? Missing?"

Qingyun has been deliberating on Zhang Tianshi's micro-expression, but it doesn't look like a fake when he looks surprised.

But Zhang Tianshi is so good, if he is sincere in cheating, how can he see through it so easily?

"""""Knock on the blackboard time"""""

In the previous section, when we mentioned the four-handed sutra, the Shurangama Sutra, we mentioned the issue of translation and re-creation.We didn't expand it at that time, so we can say a few more words in this section.

In the previous knowledge points, it was said that Chinese is a high-dimensional language, and this is not just a casual talk.There was once an English poem that was very popular on the Internet:
You say that you love rain,

but you open your umbrella when it rains.
You say that you love the sun,

but you find a shadow spot when the sun shines.
You say that you love the wind,

but you close your windows when wind blows.
This is why I am afraid,

because you say that you love me too.
In terms of writing skills, this poem mainly uses the repetition of You say that you love/but you; in terms of phonology, it has nothing to say except the use of English third-person singular verbs plus s to rhyme.Anyone who has learned some English can see that these are just a few neatly formatted vernacular sentences.Regarding its translation, I will not give many examples here. Chinese netizens have used their talents to translate more than a dozen versions, all of which are better than the original poem.The content of this poem is actually very simple: I am afraid that you are like Ye Gong, and I am like a good dragon.The translation of this poem fully demonstrates the charm of Chinese language.Some people say that it is impossible to find poems, and you need to find translations of famous poems to be more convincing.

Well, let's cite a famous poem that is famous all over the world:

A Grain of Sand—William Black
To see a world in a grain of sand,

And a heaven in a wild flower,

Hold infinity in the palm of your hand,

And eternity in an hour.
The poem "A Grain of Sand" has appeared in dozens of translations.Let's analyze the original first.This poem uses Futaba rhyme, and/our.There is also a small rhythmic repetition in the third and fourth sentences, ~nity in.The original language writing skills of this poem are several grades better than that of the love rain poem just now.

The most accurate translation of this poem is that of Mr. Liang Zongdai:

See a world in a grain of sand,
A paradise in a wild flower,
Hold infinity in the palm of your hand,

Eternity is collected in a flash.

However, the most popular version is from Anonymous, recorded in "Crazy English Reading Edition" 2004.11
One sand one world,

one flower one heaven;

Hold infinity with both hands,
The moment is eternity.

In terms of format, this translation is more fair and concise than the original poem, and the words are more refined, which is almost comparable.The only fly in the ointment is that the rhyme is lost. If we slightly modify it, we can obtain a dimension beyond the original poem:
One sand one world,

One flower, one heaven.

The bergamot says immeasurable,
A moment of eternal sorrow. (Original text: Eternity in an hour refers to the short-lived beauty of wild flowers before they wither)
The original text of this poem praises the small greatness and short-lived beauty. In fact, there are differences in the inner flavor of the poem between the translated text and the original text.

Therefore, I have always advocated that when citing foreign language materials, try to read the foreign language version in person, just to avoid the loss caused by this translation.Translation is a kind of re-creation.An ordinary novel may be translated into a masterpiece, and conversely, a masterpiece may be dusted because of the level of the translator.The same is true of poetry and historical facts.

The cow head and horse head translated by Fang Rong is already in Chinese, and it is an imported story re-condensed with Chinese culture and characters.Many of the verses we have heard actually reflect the brilliance of the translator:

The world is safe and secure,
Live up to the Tathagata.

In fact, its original intention is: Who else can make a move now, so that I can hold my wife and become a lama.It was the predecessors who translated this sentence beautifully, and he was able to get it beautifully.

Tagore's sentence: Let life be beautiful like summer flowers. And Death like autumn leaves.
In fact, if you look closely, they are all ordinary declarative sentences.But Zheng Zhenduo's translation: Life is as gorgeous as summer flowers, and death is as quiet and beautiful as autumn leaves.The original poem is simply recreated with kindness. Beautiful is translated as gorgeous, and a non-existent corresponding word "quiet beauty" is added, which suddenly raises the format and wording of this poem to a higher level, but the profound artistic conception of Tagore's original poem is still preserved in its original flavor.

On the contrary, in the reverse translation of the verses in the English documentary "Du Fu", the beautiful Tang poems instantly return to the basics...and become a pile of basic words such as live, death, and beautiful.Of course, this cannot be blamed on the translators, their language really cannot translate so much work.For example, in Chinese, dozens of gorgeous consent words can be arranged in a row, and a combination like Jingmei can temporarily create hundreds of mood words, which can be easily understood by key readers.These, English, really can't do it, and indeed few languages ​​can do it.

Judging from the current situation of the popularity of languages ​​in the world, the resistance for Chinese people to read documents in foreign original languages ​​is getting smaller and smaller.

But foreign scholars who can read Chinese classics in reverse, especially ancient Chinese classics, and more importantly, can truly and correctly interpret ancient Chinese books, are rare.So why do they make irresponsible remarks on my Chinese history, scientific history, species research and so on?It is impossible for those high noses to grasp all the massive original texts quoted in this article.Chinese, especially ancient Chinese, cannot be mastered from the beginning of adulthood.So if we blindly introduce the views of foreign scholars in these fields, such as the history of the Xia Dynasty, such as the imported species involved in the Great Exchange of Columbus...according to Western arguments, it will be no different from burning books and burying scholars. A complete negation of the cultural preservation of the millennium.

Regarding language and translation, we have also raised a proposition before-does "Elements of Geometry" really have an original?Why was Euclidean geometry so accurate thousands of years ago?Of course, because what you see is the reinterpretation, reinterpretation, and recreation of this book in modern language using modern normative terms.I have said before that if the modern terminology is applied, the Tao Te Ching can be translated into the original version of quantum physics. This is true... In the future, the author will do so sooner or later.

Believe in the original, don't trust the translation casually.Believe in the original text, don't trust the quotation casually.

If you don’t have enough resources to find the original text, don’t pass it on unless you test it...Otherwise, once you are pointed out that the citation is wrong, it will be really embarrassing...But this phenomenon is common in many professional papers, and this is the tragedy of academics.
