"Ancient Literature Guanzhi" is based on the order of the times and the works of characters as the weft, including the works of 61 masters in the past dynasties, a total of 222 articles, and has been regarded as the only way to study ancient texts since ancient times. In order to help readers and friends, especially middle school students, understand the content of the book more high-quality and efficiently, and improve their ability to read and appreciate ancient texts, Chung Hwa Book Company cooperates with the front-line Chinese teachers "Shui Han Speaks Chinese", so that everyone can enjoy the high-quality public welfare class of "Ancient Literature Guanzhi" while reading books, so as to absorb the essence of traditional culture to the greatest extent, understand the wisdom of traditional culture, and feel the beauty of traditional culture.
Why do we want to talk about "Ancient Texts and Views", this matter should start with my talk about the "Four Books". As early as 2020, because of online classes at home during the epidemic, I began to share the public welfare of "The Analects", and then successively shared "Mencius", "The Mean" and "University", and spent a total of 185 classes (about an hour each time) to finish the "Four Books".
In a year and a half, I took 81 online classes to finish the entire Analects
After 81 lectures on the Analects, he finished Mencius in 90 lectures, and then ......
It took me four years and 185 lectures to finish the "Four Books"
After completing the public welfare sharing of the "Four Books", a new round of learning and sharing of literary classics began non-stop. At first, I was entangled between the two books "Historical Records" and "Guwen Guan Zhi", and later chose "Gu Wen Guan Zhi" mainly based on two considerations: one is that "Gu Wen Guan Zhi" covers a wide range of classic literary passages, and the other is that many chapters in "Gu Wen Guan Zhi" have been selected into middle school Chinese textbooks, which has a greater impact on primary and secondary school students.
Speaking of "Ancient Texts and Views", I have a basic positioning, that is, I do not add oil and vinegar to tell stories, let alone nonsense and jokes, that is, I study around the text in a down-to-earth manner. There are dozens of various books of "Guwen Guanzhi" on the market, and I bought more than a dozen of them that are more representative and of relatively high quality. Every time before sharing, I will carefully read through all the annotations and translations of the books of the articles I want to share, compare them repeatedly, and choose the good ones.
The sharing process mainly focuses on the comprehension of words and sentences, the way to write the article and the main purpose of the article, especially focusing on the understanding of words and sentences. Because of the unblocking of words and sentences, the article is basically understood. As for the writing method and the theme of the article, it is the benevolent and the wise have their own understanding, more or less. When I talk about words and sentences, I will talk word by word, sentence by sentence, and I will mainly pay attention to the following aspects.
1. Build a bridge for the learning of Chinese words and words in and out of class.
For example, when talking about "Feng Zhenke Meng Weijun", "After the responsibility is completed, what is the countervail?" The "city" in one sentence, I will refer to the poems "Willing to be the saddle horse for the city" in "Mulan Ci", "Silkworm Woman" and "Yesterday into the city" to explain. Today, when we talk about "city", we often think of bazaars, markets, and even cities, but in these sentences, "market" is used as a verb, which means "to buy" or "sell".
2. From the etymological perspective, do some in-depth explanations and necessary extensions.
For example, "Touching the Dragon and Saying the Empress Dowager Zhao" has a sentence of "entering and Xu Tending", I will start from the word "Tend", combined with the word etymology, talk about the difference between steps, walks, and other words in the literary language, and say that "running" is the later meaning, and its original meaning is that the beast uses its feet to plow the ground, and the "run" of Hangzhou's "Tiger Running Spring" uses its original meaning, which is read two tones, not three tones.
3. Introduce some common cultural knowledge.
For example, there is a sentence in "Touching the Dragon and Saying the Empress Dowager Zhao" "Once the mountain collapses", when it comes to the word "collapse", it quotes the text in the "Book of Rites", saying that under the strict hierarchy, people's death has different names: "The death of the Son of Heaven is called collapse, the princes are called Xuan, the doctor is said to be a pawn, the scholar is said to be Bulu, and the Shuren is said to be dead." "Lu Zhong Lian Yi Bu Emperor Qin" has a sentence "Zhao Chengfa made the envoy respect Qin Zhao King as the emperor", in which "Zhao" is a derivative word, is the name of Qin Zhaoxiang King, when people are alive, can not be called the name, and then briefly talk about the monarch's name, temple number, year name, etc.
It should be noted that the place name is generally not talked about, but only briefly the connection between the place name and the country or person in the article. Because a certain place in ancient times is a certain place today, it is generally stated clearly in the annotations, and it is the knowledge that can be used when doing historical geography research, and it is not the focus that primary and secondary school students need to pay attention to when learning "Guwen Guan Zhi", so if there is no obstacle to understanding the meaning of the text, it is usually not explained.
As for the writing style of the article, it is generally only a little analysis of the typical writing style of the article, and it will not be exhaustive, but special attention will be paid to the close connection with the Chinese learning in secondary school.
For example, when talking about "Feng Chenke Meng Weijun", it will remind you to pay special attention to the fact that the article uses the technique of wanting to promote and suppress the first to shape the character of Feng Chen. This is also linked to the middle school texts "Mr. Fujino", "A Chang and the Classic of Mountains and Seas", as well as Liang Shiqiu's "My Chinese Language Teacher" and other articles, which are very typical ways of writing to promote and suppress.
For another example, when talking about "Yan Shu Says King Qi", he will talk about how to advance the plot through character dialogues and how to use contrasting techniques to highlight the characteristics of the characters. When talking about "Zhuang Xin on Xingchen", he will talk about how to explain reason through a large number of metaphors, which is a major feature of ancient Chinese discourse articles. Speaking of "Lu Zhong Lian Yi Bu Emperor Qin", it will be prompted to learn the writing style of the article from the detailed treatment of the article, the factual arguments of the essay and the comparative arguments.

Regarding the main idea of the article, it will not be exhaustive, but just start from one or two typical points, talk about a little feeling, and trigger readers to think about it, so as to enhance their thinking power.
For example, when talking about "Su Qin Speaks of Qin with Lian Heng", it will talk about the character of the Zongheng family, they have no bottom line for "success", whether they have to pursue "power and wealth" like Su Qin in life, in addition to power and wealth, what are more worthy of pursuit, which is related to the "big husband personality" learned when talking about "Mencius" in junior high school, and talks about the value of "wealth and nobility cannot be lewd, mighty and unyielding, and poor and lowly cannot be moved".
Speaking of "Zhao Weihou Asked Qi Envoy", from "Gou Wusui, how can there be people?" If there is no people, how can there be a king", talking about Mencius's humanistic concept of "the people are precious, the community is secondary, and the monarch is light". This is the most glorious ideological and cultural heritage left to us by our ancestors.
Speaking of "Zou Ji Satirizing the King of Qi's Admonition", it is suggested that although "loyalty is good for action", but if it is not "loyalty", it must be reversed, and it is better to tactfully express the purpose of achieving it. At the same time, we should also realize that tactful expression is only one of the conditions for achieving the goal, and it is necessary to have a good mouth and a good ear to meet.
I plan to finish each of the articles in the book in two to three years. Every time I come to attend the class, junior and senior high school students account for the vast majority, there are also a few elementary school students, and some adults who love ancient culture. No matter who comes to listen, I welcome it, and I hope that through my own efforts, I can really play a role in spreading and promoting excellent traditional culture.
Every Sunday, I talk about "Ancient Literature and Views" through Tencent Meeting and live broadcast on the video account. As of last Sunday (October 13), it has been spoken fifteen times, and these contents can be seen in the live broadcast replay of the video account.
In addition, I have also set up several WeChat groups for classical learning. If you have friends who want to join the group, you can follow my WeChat public account "Shui Han Says Language", or follow the video number of the same name, and then send a private message in the background, I will send you a classic learning group QR code, scan the code to join the group, you can receive a notification of each online sharing, and in the process of learning Chinese, you can also do some discussions in the group if you encounter some problems.
