Two days ago, I wrote about the Green Orange Award, and when I wrote it, I told my friend that Wei Dongyi did something, I really don't know, I can't understand. Friend is, Wei Dongyi has done a lot of things, and his work is quite solid. Oh, I wrote it with confidence.

These days, I suddenly found that everyone was pestering Wei Shen for a mistake. Wei Shen's last PPT wrote "Thank you for listening to the experts". Some people say that this listening is not right, and that listening is listening sincerely and carefully. Generally speaking, subordinates listen to the opinions and reports of superiors, which is a humble word and should be used on themselves.
I was shocked to see this, and I often used listening myself, and I couldn't think of any words to use besides listening. As a science student, I am weak in these aspects, because I may be wrong and do not know it. I have met myself, a netizen spoke to me, saying that his mother used Lingtang, which made me very awkward, and I was embarrassed to point out the mistake on the spot. So I quickly checked, the Internet said that listening is a sincere and serious listening, if it is a superior listening, it should be used to listen.
However, these are all online claims, and they are all statements from recent years. The network statement is not credible, and I believe that everyone has a consensus on this.
Under the guidance of my friends, I checked the Kangxi Dictionary, the Shuowen Jiezi, and the Modern Chinese Dictionary.
The Kangxi Dictionary is very simple, listening means listening.
【Tang Yun】【Rhyme】郞丁切 [正韵] away from the tangential, musical spirit.
Listen to it.
【Cangjie Chapter】The ear listens to the listening.
【Broad rhyme】Take the sound by ear.
[Former Han Shu Biography] You listen and carve a stone. And [liberal arts] listen, from also. And [Huainanzi Qi Customs] dwells and listens.
[Note] Listen, understand the understanding. Borrowed as age.
[Li Wen Wang Shizi] Emperor Meng and I are nine years old.
【Interpretation】This or for listening.
Duan Yu's commentary on the "Explanation of Words and Characters":
Listeners, those who listen to the micro, too.
Here I still listen carefully, and I can hear the subtle meaning of the words.
Duan Yujie's annotations were completed during the Jiaqing period of the Qing Dynasty, which is relatively close to modern times. I looked it up (probably not searching well, I'm a polytechnic after all) and didn't see a change in the meaning of the words. It seems that historically, this has always been the meaning.
Explanation of the Modern Chinese Dictionary:
Listen: Listen.
The words of the group are: listen attentively, listen to the teachings.
The Modern Chinese Dictionary does not say that listening is listening sincerely and earnestly.
Let's give a few examples.
Hearing the Voice: Hearing the voice makes sense of the matter. This must be listened to carefully before it can be analyzed.
Han Yu's "Reply to Zhang Che" begins:
Insults do not know the retribution, I sing its ears.
The first verse begins with the face, and the second sentence is fractal.
In "Dream of the Red Chamber", Baoyu sleepwalks in too illusory realm, inside: Baoyu takes over, looks at his text, and listens to his songs.
If you want to emphasize respect, Baoyu can't be turning over paper and listening to songs, and this kind of behavior is not pious.
Therefore, according to my examination evidence, Wei Dongyi is not wrong, and it is completely okay to listen. I don't know if there are any experts in writing to discuss it.
The discussion I listened to was actually possible, because I felt that the language would not be corrected and the level would be lower and lower. The language level of society as a whole will also decline. However, in this matter, many people discussed deviating from the original intention, or regarded this matter as a big deal, as if Wei Dongyi had made a big mistake, or thought that Wei Shen's mathematical level was very high and could not be provoked. I myself don't think either attitude is desirable.
Also, one more word. A friend argued with me today about a topic. I think that in academia, there is no need for a lot of honorifics, modesty, even young people, when discussing with old experts, are equal, and it is best to discuss in an equal way. This helps to have a good academic environment.
