As a language and literature scholar, Huang Kan was a figure that people talked about in the Republic of China, and the interesting conversations between him and his teacher Zhang Taiyan, the master of traditional Chinese studies, were also very widespread.
When the "Yellow Madman" and the "Chapter Madman" between the Republic of China meet together, what kind of sparks will be generated? They met because of an open defecation, can you believe it? But the truth is this, Huang Kan drunkenly peed out of a teacher.
There are thousands of teacher-apprentice feelings in this world, but few people love and kill each other like Zhang Taiyan and Huang Kan. The fate of this master and apprentice is not the same as that of ordinary worshippers, but after experiencing a dramatic scolding, the two have a sense of pity for each other before they become masters and apprentices.
This may also be due to the personality of both people, both are equally informal, bold and free. Coincidentally, Huang Kan lived upstairs in Zhang Taiyan, and the two were counted as neighbors, but they had never known each other.
Until one day, Huang Kan returned to the room drunk in the evening, blowing wind on the balcony to disperse the wine, who expected the urine to come too timely, Huang Kan was arrogant and informal, thinking that the ancients took heaven and earth as the seat, and he should solve the physiological needs without harm.
Therefore, Huang Kan went to the railing and solved it outdoors, and he could not waste his house!
But just as he was halfway through, he heard a roar below:
"Which lack of virtue sprinkles water on a big night?" No, it's urine! The voice in the back was obviously sharper, it seemed that it was really angry, Zhang Taiyan was reading downstairs at night, and suddenly he was drenched by a burst of urine, how could he not be angry?
Huang Kan upstairs was startled, but with the strength of the wine, he also shouted at the bottom, "Disturbing people to pee, do you lack morality?" The tone was much louder than the unknown roar just now.
Such a move can make Zhang Taiyan, who was originally angry and corrupt downstairs, unable to stand, not only did this pee on his head, but he did not expect that this was still a difficult grandfather, how could he bear him? So he strode out the door, ready to go upstairs to find the pimp and have a good theory.
That is to say, Zhang Taiyan's angry and corrupt move picked up a very good apprentice for him, which he would not help but sigh after many years of thinking.
It turns out that the fate between people is so wonderful, some things seem to have been predestined in the dark. Even what is clearly regarded as a curse, in the end, has become a fruitful harvest.
"Boom, boom, boom, boom," just when Huang Kan thought that the one below was frightened by his scolding, a knock on the door sounded, making Huang Kan's originally dizzy head even more confused. He burped a drink and walked slowly to the door under the guise, "Who is this, in the middle of the night, and it is clean!" "
"I am your ancestor!" Zhang Taiyan is also not polite, and he has always been informal, how can he restrain himself? It doesn't seem wise to talk to an alcoholic about the philosophy of life.
When you carefully read the famous scene of the first encounter between master and apprentice now, you will still be embarrassed and funny, which is too embarrassing and interesting.
A soak of urine is a great disrespect for the master no matter what age, let alone in the face of such a respected teacher and such a naughty and mischievous apprentice, not only do not apologize but also blame you for influencing him to play?
A generation of literati has a generation of arrogance, how can Zhang Taiyan tolerate such bullying? Huang Kan opened the door slowly and pointed at Zhang Taiyan, "What is your little old man's heart?" Come in the middle of the night to disturb people's dreams! "
This was like pouring oil on the fire, completely burning the raging fire in Zhang Taiyan's heart. Immediately shouted out, "You pimp, peeing on the balcony, are you still reasonable?" "Speaking of swearing, Zhang Taiyan is a well-known leader in the circle!"
Although Huang Kan was said to be a noble prince, he also had the flesh and blood of a newborn calf who was not afraid of tigers, and he was immediately provoked to become a fire, and in the blink of an eye, the inside and outside the door became a battlefield for the two.
For the first time, I felt that scolding people could be so ingenious and cheerful, and Huang Kan's wine strength gradually woke up. Maybe it's a wonderful fate, maybe it's "no scolding, no acquaintance", scolding two people and informing each other's names.
They are all equally famous characters, and after hearing each other's names, the original contradictions have instantly dissolved a lot. The two men went all the way to various fields of literature, and each other's unique literary views made each other feel enlightened.
Maybe this is a kind of pity. The more the two talked, the more speculative they became, and eventually they became each other's confidants.
Zhang Taiyan's broad-mindedness and informality left each other with an opportunity to "turn dry things into jade", and Huang Kan's knowledge of mistakes and humble attitude later laid the groundwork for promoting the transformation of the relationship between the two.
Taking a step back, can be exchanged for an unexpected best friend, clinging to it, not only will lead to the situation can not be cleaned up, but also let the two lack a chance to re-recognize each other. Tolerance is not only for the sake of others, but also for oneself.
In the days to come, Huang Kan often went to Zhang Taiyan to discuss literature, and the feelings of the two also warmed up step by step, becoming close friends, and tacitly did not mention the peeing thing again, which had long been dissipated in the hearts of the two people.
In the autumn of 1907, when Huang Kan wanted to return to China to visit his relatives, zhang Taiyan said to Huang Kan, "If you want to do first-class learning, you must have the best teachers... If Mr. Sun of Ryan is still alive, you can worship him as a teacher when you return home. "
Bi Huangkan did not immediately agree, but was silent for a long time, in his heart, in fact, there was already a more suitable candidate. Facing Huang Kan, who was staring at him with a straight hook.
Zhang Taiyan was obviously a little uncomfortable: "Cough, in fact, if you are not in a hurry to return to China and want to worship me as a teacher, I can barely agree." The tone was somewhat reserved, like an elder's advice to a junior.
This can be said to Huang Kan's heart, he has this intention wow! Huang Kan immediately stood up and saluted, and on the same day, he brought a bag of gifts and performed a great salute to Zhang Taiyan. Since then, the relationship between the two men has since been concluded.
Later, Huang Kan did not live up to Zhang Taiyan's expectations and became a famous disciple under him, and the good relationship between the two was also concluded.
To sum up the whole process of Huang Kan and Zhang Taiyan's master-apprentice relationship, while admiring their broad-mindedness, I also want to sigh the elusiveness of fate. In fact, there are many things in life that seem to be difficult to reverse like this event.
But as long as we take a step back from each other, we may be able to exchange unexpected surprises and form a good relationship. If not, how could Zhang Taiyan receive such an apprentice who had an appetite for him? How could Huang Kan achieve such an achievement today?
