Chapter 239 Let Him Go! (Monthly Ticket Request!!!)

"This..." Principal Yang didn't know what to say. "Forget it. It's a young man's business. If he wants to do it, then let him do it. Anyway, as long as it doesn't delay the work of the School of Architecture, then it's fine."

In fact, there are several vice-presidents to share the responsibilities of the School of Architecture, so Zhou Yue really doesn't need to do anything.

Although those vice presidents were not promoted by him, they would report everything they did to him. He would approve the ones that could be approved, and would send them back for redoing if they could not be approved.

All in all, there is absolutely no problem in maintaining control within the academy.

This is a very good thing for him.

Principal Yang was also speechless. After all, a dean of the School of Architecture came to teach at the School of Arts, and his lectures were so attractive. It was obvious that Professor Zhou had been researching in this field for a long time and had achieved some results.

As for whether this matter can continue, no one can tell.

After all, there are no cutting-edge papers that can prove that his level is indeed at the forefront of the industry, but according to Mr. Zhou's level, if he wants to do it, he can definitely be the top one.

This has been the case in previous fields. As long as you want to do it, there is nothing you can’t do.

As for the students below, they were just shocked.

For them, Teacher Zhou coming to teach the Faculty of Arts was just a novelty.

They didn't know what position Professor Zhou had held in other academic fields. They only heard that he was very talented. They weren't sure to what extent, but they heard that he was one of the top architects in the country.

It was originally a novel thing for such a top architect to teach courses in the School of Arts, but now it doesn't feel so novel anymore. The course is even better than what the teachers in their School of Arts taught.

Moreover, the logic is so novel that it brings the rigid text to life.

Even though they were learning about these characters for the first time, some people had studied them specifically, but if they were asked to explain them, they would definitely not be able to explain them to the level of Teacher Zhou.

"Teacher Zhou is so awesome. I heard that an ancient Chinese characters research room has been set up in our School of Arts. The history school's stuff has been moved to the School of Arts. Both schools are studying ancient Chinese characters. Teacher Zhou is competing with the history school!"

"Yes, it is said that this is something from the School of Archaeology, but after Teacher Zhou's explanation, I also became interested, and I even want to study philology."

"It's really interesting. Teacher Zhou talks about it as if it's something fun. I only have a preliminary understanding of it now, but it really feels very interesting."

"As expected of a science and engineering master, even when talking about ancient characters, his logic is still very strong. However, ancient characters are also a very logical subject, which requires constant reasoning and induction and summary."

"Yes, I am from the School of History. Actually, if you want to learn ancient characters, you still need to have some basic knowledge of philology."

"For example, you need to know the most basic phonology, that is, the ancient phonetic system. Ancient books contain the ancient phonological system, and you need to be able to grasp it roughly."

"Then there are some ancient characters that you can make out."

"In short, the logic of this discipline is not inferior to those of science and engineering, but its status is too low. Even if something is discovered, it will not bring any substantial benefits to the progress and development of mankind."

"But I think after Mr. Zhou's talk, more people will be able to understand ancient characters. This is a relatively private thing, but it is also a profound subject. Just because no one is learning it doesn't mean it is completely useless. There should still be people who will pass on this unpopular and unique subject in the modern world."

"For example, in the past, there was a professor who studied porcelain. He only recruited one student. After graduating from undergraduate, master and doctoral programs, this student continued to teach this course in the school, guiding students, and passing it down from generation to generation. He may even be the only one in the country who understands this thing."

“That’s really a fire starter.”

“……”Zhou Yue was quite satisfied with their performance.

Obviously, this is indeed an unpopular and unique skill, but it is closely related to the growth process of human beings.

For example, exegesis.

Xun means smooth, and gu means ancient.

Explain ancient words using their current meanings.

Scholars have been studying this matter.

It's just too niche, but it's just a niche among the masses.

In the entire curriculum planning of Chinese language and literature, it still has a great say.

"Okay, today's lecture ends here. Next, I will teach a course in the School of Arts called "Introduction to Ancient Chinese Characters". After all, if you want to conduct in-depth research, you still have to get started first."

"But it shouldn't be this semester. If anyone wants to enroll in a course or audit a class next semester, you can come."

"In fact, ancient characters are very interesting. You can use characters with similar shapes to infer another character, and then express it with today's explanation and sound."

"For example, we can do phonetics and simulate the ancient pronunciation."

“Of course it’s fun too.”

“Don’t think that academics are difficult. You can treat it as a toy. If you are too intimidated, then you will definitely not be able to do it well.”

"Of course, there is a lot of pressure now. Everyone wants to make rapid progress. Few people are willing to do things that take a long time but may be difficult to achieve results. However, there still needs to be someone who can discover the beauty of these things and continue to delve into them."

"When old Faust recalled his life full of knowledge but seemingly meaningless, he might not have known that the long road he had walked was the one he wanted to pursue..."

Dean Chen below did not speak for a long time.

He sighed a little.

People are indeed different. Some people can accomplish many earth-shaking things in a very short period of time, while those of them who study traditional knowledge are busy with books every day with great diligence.

In the end, you may not earn much money, and even your status will continue to decline. Many of your achievements will be called meaningless.

But only they themselves know that those things that seem meaningless to others are the result of them bending over their desks in countless nights, checking and verifying word by word to find out the errors.

Proofreading ancient books can extend the life of books, continue the incense of civilization, and continue the cultural context of prosperous times.

Doesn't it make sense?
At least, he felt that finding every error and omission in the ancient books and correcting them could help him solve the age problem of a book or some hidden secrets.

It was a great joy to him.

This is enough.
