Chapter 118 Xiao Shen, what are you waiting for if you don’t take action?



Xu Zijian frowned.

According to past practice, such academic competitions usually involve preparing dozens or even hundreds of topics, writing them down on paper, and then deciding by drawing lots.

But now Jiang Tianji actually directly arranged the theme.

The faces of the few people brought by Xu Zijian also changed.

This is very unfair to the people in China.

If Jiang Tianji had prepared this topic a year ago and asked his students to write poems, how could they have won?

How can the on-the-spot performance in China compare to the long-term preparation abroad?

"Professor Jiang, wouldn't it be unfair to do this?" Xu Zijian asked with a frown.

Jiang Tianji smiled and said, "I know what Professor Xu is worried about, but what I want to say is, if your performance today is amazing enough, does it mean that we approve of you?"

Before Ning Zheng expressed his opinion, Zhou Yanshi said, "I think this is a good idea."

The country also needs this stimulus.

In the early years, in order to quickly boost the economy, the country vigorously developed heavy industry, science and technology, etc.

Now that the domestic economy is on the rise, traditional culture must also begin to revive.

The national policy is correct, so many cities are now starting to focus on cultural tourism.

In order to boost local tourism, some cultural and tourism bureau directors even appear on TV and become internet celebrities.

Some counties have even set up promotion officers for the most beautiful cities and are soliciting manuscripts from everywhere.

These are all areas under Ning Zheng’s jurisdiction.

"Xiao Zheng, if you win today, it will be very beneficial to your layout in Jiangnan." Zhou Yanshi said.

Ning Zheng's ancestral home is in Jiangnan, and the Jiangnan water town has always been a city with a very developed tourism industry. It is also a hinterland city in the country. Some time ago, a higher-level meeting said that the Jiangnan water town should be built into a dazzling business card and promoted at home and abroad.

The meeting has been held for a month and the department has also started drafting the documents.

But you want to ask Ning Zheng if he has any better ideas?

No.

It's nothing more than spending money and doing extensive publicity.

Of course there are effects, but spending money is often a trick.

If we spend money to get our name out there, and replace the minister with someone else, he or she will be able to achieve what Ning Zheng did.

Therefore, if we win today, the first stop of the research institute will be located in the Jiangnan water town.

This is another political achievement.

Then who should get this political achievement?

Of course it was Ning Zheng.

"The themes are bright moon, autumn thoughts, and Mid-Autumn Festival, which is very appropriate. Who's going first?" Zhou Yanshi asked as he picked up a piece of Kung Pao Chicken.

He unexpectedly discovered that the dish was delicious, with good color, aroma and flavor. The spicy feeling exploding in his mouth surprised him.

"Mr. Zhou, Secretary Ning, Professor Xu, let me go first." Deputy Captain Lin Qianqian stood up and said.

She is a Malay and her family business is a frequent guest on the Forbes rankings.

At the same time, she is very beautiful, but she doesn't have any worldly air.

She spoke slowly, "The hazy moonlight shines on the empty steps, and the moon is especially bright during the Mid-Autumn Festival. Let alone the waxing and waning of the moon, this is a wonderful time in the world."

When this poem came out, Zhou Yanshi thought for a moment, then applauded: "Good, good, the idea is clear, not only is it rhymed, but the parallelism is also neat, what a talented woman!"

"Sorry for the poor performance." Lin Qianqian smiled and sat down.

Chen Xian took another look at the woman. He could not believe that a foreigner could study ancient poetry so deeply. The key is that she is really good at it. Just one sentence can describe the good times in the world. How many people can write that?

Even Jiang Tianji's eyes lit up. This seven-character quatrain was of excellent quality.

Although I had told them the theme of this event a month in advance, it was still not easy to prepare it within a month.

Xu Zijian felt that it was very unfair, but they were the dominant party and had the final say.

If you want people to invest in you, you have to show your real ability.

"Ruan Bo, do you have any ideas?" Although Qi Zhengqing graduated from the Chinese Department, he has been hanging out with women for many years. He has long forgotten what he learned in school, let alone writing poetry.

So he asked Ruan Bo, deputy secretary-general of the Ancient Poetry Association.

Ruan Bo frowned, thought for a moment, and then stammered, "I'm thinking about it."

If he is given time, he can do it.

But the key issue is that this is an improvisation. Being able to compose a poem with neat parallelism and clear intention in such a short time is probably something that only the monsters in ancient times could have done, right?

Those quatrains that have been passed down through the ages were sometimes written on a sudden burst of inspiration, but more often they were the result of careful deliberation day and night.

In the sentence "Birds roost in the trees by the pond, monks knock on the door under the moon", I pondered over the two words for a long time: "A bird roosts in the trees by the pond, a monk knocks on the door under the moon."

Not only Ruan Bo couldn't do it, but the several people who came with him also found it difficult to do it in a short period of time.

A professor next to Xu Zijian suddenly said, "Let me sing a song."

He pondered for a moment, then spoke: "The starry sky mirror rises, and the clouds are silent. The autumn moon is full, and the Milky Way is as clear as water."

When everyone heard this, there was a thoughtful look in their eyes.

Zhou Yanshi was also making a comparison, and then he discovered a cruel fact, that is, the professor's poem was not as good as Lin Qianqian's.

Jiang Tianji smiled: "Mr. Zhou, you are the referee now, can you give us your comments?"

Zhou Yanshi said: "Whether it's the intention or the artistic conception, you are the winner!"

The young people in the research institute all had cheers on their faces.

It's an honor.

Hearing this, Jiang Tianji said to Ning Zheng, "Secretary Ning, you guys continue. If the poem you write can surpass this one, you will enter the next round."

It is not difficult to see from his words that Jiang Tianji was well prepared this time.

Ruan Bo and others felt that it was extremely unfair.

Logically speaking, wouldn't it be fairer to decide the theme by drawing lots?

Or it would be more appropriate to let Zhou Yanshi set the questions.

The woman who scored full marks in the college entrance examination essay lowered her head, her eyes constantly flashing with thought, and countless words colliding in her mind.

But for the time being, there was no suitable inspiration or entry point.

Xu Zijian also thought a lot, but still had no clue.

The more anxious you are, the more your inspiration dries up.

He was so anxious that he kept scratching his ears and cheeks.

Finally, he couldn't help it and looked at Shen Xian.

At this moment, Chen Xian was enjoying the braised shark's fin prepared by his stepmother.

Xu Zijian said: "Xiao Shen, what are you waiting for if you don't take action?"
