Riding the wind of rebirth

Chapter 185 Erya
"It's just once in a while that I can't stop when I open up my mind. It's very different from you who suffer every day."

Zhou Zhi picked up the deep-fried dough sticks to eat, but Ye Xin snatched them away, and said jokingly, "Have you brushed your teeth and washed your face? Don't disappoint the basin of washing water..."

Zhang Xinyi hurriedly teased Ye Xin, it's okay to joke around with the girlfriends on the bed last night, but you can't bring him here to make that person proud, and weaken Shuyi's momentum.

Zhou Zhi would not notice these small things, he would only be happy with Jiang Shuyi's understanding and consideration, and then enjoy it with peace of mind.

After eating, it is time to study. The thoughtful study method is to take out the main points, difficulties, and problems that Jiang Shuyi summed up some time ago, and consolidate them again.

He really doesn't have that much time to refine, and using this method, the effect is very good, far better than the summarizer's effect.

Because among these things, for Jiang Shuyi, she did not fully grasp many of them, but for Zhou Zhi, it was a small reminder.

After Zhou Zhi went through it once, he could turn around and explain to Jiang Shuyi.

Because the foundation is really very solid, this kind of review of Shudu is very fast. The friends didn't arrive until noon, and Zhou Zhi started to make lunch.

Jiang Shuyi has also entered the rest time, and her rest is to make five emperors' money for her friends.

It only took Zhou Zhi a day and a half to consolidate Jiang Shuyi and Zhang Xinyi's difficult notes. In the rest of the time, apart from daily homework, Zhou Zhi started to deal with a classic book that he hadn't dealt with before. —— "Erya".

"Erya" and "Shuowen Jiezi" have a name in the system of Guoxue, which is called "dictionary", which is similar to "dictionary".

"Shuowen Jiezi", Zhou Zhi has finished reading and annotating sentences three times, the foundation of ancient characters is already quite solid, and can go further.

"Erya" was probably compiled by scholars in the Qin and Han Dynasties, who collected and collected old books from various places in the pre-Qin period, and added them to each other.

The book contains more than 300 words, arranged according to meaning categories, with a total of 91 entries. It is the "ancestor of dictionaries" in China.

Among them, the first three "Shi Gu", "Shi Yan", and "Shi Xun" are dedicated to explaining the meaning of words in the pre-Qin period, which is also called ancient for the Qin and Han Dynasties;
"Shi Gu" gathers together several parts of speech that existed in ancient times as the words to be interpreted, and uses a word that is popular at that time to explain them.

"Explanation" refers to words as the object of explanation, and most of the words to be explained are only one or two.

"Shixun" is dedicated to explaining the overlapping words or coherent words that describe the appearance of things.

There are many explanations in "Erya", which are full of cold knowledge of Chinese culture, such as - "The meat is twice as good as the bi, the meat as good as the meat is called the yuan, and the meat is as good as the ring."

These three kinds of jade are all ring-shaped, how to distinguish their names?It turned out to look at the inner diameter, that is, "good"; and the difference between the inner and outer radius, that is, the ratio of the width of the "meat" as a distinction.

If the "meat" is more than double the "good", such jade is called Bi.

If the "good" is more than double the "meat", such jade is called yuan.

If the two are exactly equal, such jade is called a ring.

Zhou Zhi watched with relish.

As the pioneering work of Chinese exegesis, "Er Ya" has important influences in exegesis, phonology, etymology, dialectology, and paleography.

In fact, it is not the "Book of Classics", nor is it a vassal of a certain book of scriptures. It is just an independent dictionary, an important reference book for dredging words and prose in ancient documents including the Five Classics.

But it is an important reference book for people to read and understand the scriptures, and it is known as the "key to interpreting the scriptures", so it has been highly respected in history.

However, with the help of this dictionary, people can understand ancient books and conduct research on ancient vocabulary; by learning it, they can learn more about the names of birds, animals, plants, trees, insects and fish, increase various knowledge, and understand ancient society.

Therefore, in the Han Dynasty, "Erya" was regarded as a Confucian classic; when Emperor Wenzong of the Tang Dynasty engraved the stone classics, it was included in the "Jingbu"; in the Song Dynasty it was listed as one of the "Thirteen Classics".

Only one thing is enough to illustrate its influence, that is, the style of classification and arrangement according to meaning and various interpretation methods pioneered by it. Since "Erya", it has become almost all dictionaries and books in China, such as exegesis and phonology. Studies, etymology, philology, dialectology and even medical herbal works basically follow the style and format.

Although as a language dictionary, its annotations are too general, and many entries are just lists of synonyms, which is too rough, but as far back as the third century BC, it was a well-deserved number one in the history of world dictionary compilation.

Because of the above reasons, many of the language knowledge involved in it are not easy to be understood, so there have been many annotations and researches on it in later generations.

The earliest and most complete extant annotation is Erya Zhu written by Guo Pu in the Jin Dynasty.

In the Northern Song Dynasty, there was Xing Bing's "Erya Shu".

In the Qing Dynasty, exegesis was developed, and there were no less than [-] works on "Er Ya", among which the most famous ones were "Er Ya Justice" by Shao Jinhan and "Er Ya Yi Shu" by Hao Yixing.

There is Zhou Zumo's "Erya Xiaojian" in recent times, and Xu Chaohua's "Erya Jinzhu" today.

In this way, this knowledge gradually developed into a "Ya Xue".

These books include the original version of "Erya" published by the Thirteen Classics of the Song Dynasty, which is now on Zhou Zhi's desk.

If you have to use the professional level of the university to measure, this is the research direction of the master's degree in ancient Chinese or classical literature and the research topic of the doctorate.

In the field of exegesis, Zhou Zhi has gone a long way.

This period of time has become a little tense, and the final exam has come naturally between everyone's willingness and unwillingness.

This final exam, thanks to Jiang Shuyi's careful supervision, Zhou Zhi finally showed his strength as a super liberal arts master.

It can be said that Zhou Zhi passed the test with a total score of 710 and 680!

This is the province's key and difficult A paper. Eight points have been deducted for Chinese, eleven points for mathematics, four points for English, two points for politics, and four points for geography.

The history is full, and no point is deducted.

Zhou Zhi was able to do this to such an extent that Xu Youzhi showed a big face in front of Zhao Shangzhong.

The friends who also received a huge promotion also allowed Zhao Shangzhong to show his big face in front of his godmother Tang Dihua and the paired provincial key principals.

Zhao Shangzhong quietly told the godmother that Zhou Zhi's level is almost the seedling of the provincial liberal arts champion.

The godmother told the godfather again, but the godfather wanted the godmother to keep it a secret, so don't tell Yuanjiang and Xiuqin, lest Zhou Zhi will be troubled when he fills out the application.

Jiang Shuyi came in third in the test this time, only two points behind Mu Ruyun, and even cried because of this.

Because as long as she gets one more multiple-choice question right, she can be with Zhou Zhi. Girls sometimes care about this.

Zhang Xinyi's hard work was not in vain. This time he took fourth place in the exam and Zhang Lu fifth.

However, it was useless, Zhou Zhi knew that Passepartout was just not exerting himself.

This kid has recently become obsessed with classical fairy tales. When everyone is reviewing, he is still watching "The Legend of Shushan Swordsman"!
In general, although the result of this exam was not what Zhou Zhi deliberately pursued, it also allowed his image, along with his grades, to rise to a higher level in the hearts of his classmates and parents.
