"I'm going to take a train to visit my hometown in the evening."
Chen Muling blinked: "I?"
Li Shi nodded: "Lao Dan, the author of the Tao Te Ching, is the founder of Taoism, the Taishang Laojun in mythology, and the Taoist God of Taiqing. It is recorded in "Historical Records" that he was a native of Ku County, Chen Guo during the Spring and Autumn Period, that is, It’s Luyi County, Nanhe Province now, I’m going there tonight.”
Chen Muling immediately said: "I know, Taoist ancestor in Xianxia, after hearing what you said, I really want to go. Is it far from the capital?"
"It takes one night to go there by ordinary train, and four or five hours by high-speed rail."
"It's a pity, I don't have that much time."
Li Shi treated Chen Muling to a meal at a government-owned restaurant. Apart from being expensive, the restaurants he found online were very good. Dishes such as red oil kidney slices, crispy beef brisket, sea cucumber and tofu were all delicious.
After eating, the two took a taxi back to the hotel.
When they arrived, they realized that Chen Muling had already left the room in the morning, and Li Shi looked at her in surprise.
Chen Muling's face turned red when Li Shi looked at her, and she quickly explained: "I want to watch another performance of the Dream of Red Mansions ballet at the National Center for the Performing Arts tonight. This place is very close. Can I rest here with you?"
As she said that, she seemed to be afraid that Li Shi wouldn't believe it, so she pulled out the electronic ticket she bought on her phone and showed it to him.
Li Shi said curiously: "It seems like this is what you saw last night?"
Chen Muling nodded: "Well, that's it. The National Ballet of China's original Chinese-style classical dance is very beautiful. It will only be performed for three days. I want to watch it again. You don't know, I also learned ballet when I was a child, but unfortunately I didn't persist in it. "
Li Shi couldn't help but take a look at her figure: "You should look good dancing."
Chen Muling smiled and said: "I occasionally dance house dance now, and I have posted it on my Bilibili account."
Li Shi looked at her politely for 1.8 seconds and had already looked away: "Then you can rest here. I have to go to the train station at night anyway."
When they arrived at the room, Li Shi walked in front and Chen Muling walked behind. After entering, she didn't close the door and Li Shi didn't close it either.
The two chatted for a while and began to do their own things.
Li Shi first summarized the gains from today's visit, and then started reading.
Chen Muling seemed to be editing videos on her mobile phone, probably for her vlog.
The performance at the National Center for the Performing Arts started at seven o'clock in the evening. It was almost five o'clock when they returned to the hotel, so Chen Muling stayed in the room for more than an hour before saying goodbye and leaving.
Li Shi sent her to the door. After she left, he was immersed in the sea of books again.
It wasn't until the alarm clock rang at 7:30 in the evening that he checked out of the room and took a taxi to the bus station.
This time he took a soft sleeper.
After getting on the bus, he first observed the other three people in the same carriage, an elderly couple and a man in his forties. Nothing special. He quickly lost interest in observing, lay down on his bunk, and took out Put on the Bluetooth headset, use your mobile phone to open station b, and start watching "Peking University Open Course: Ancient Chinese History".
This series of videos has a total of 172 lectures, composed of videos taught by several history professors from Peking University.
The first lecture is about "The Ancient Origin of the Chinese Nation".
The lecturer is Professor Yan Buke.
Li Shi checked the information of this professor. He is a professor of the History Department of BJ University, a doctoral supervisor, the chairman of the Academic Committee of the History Department, and a member of the Subject Degree Subcommittee.
This is a master of historical scholarship.
Watching the teaching videos of university teachers, Li Shi has experience. After clicking on the video, he immediately turned on "1.25x speed".
However, a minute later, he adjusted the speed to "1.5".
I don’t know how long it took, but Chen Muling suddenly sent a WeChat message: “I’ve finished watching the show. Even though it’s the second time, I still think it’s so beautiful. Are you on the train?”
Li Shi was stunned and read this sentence twice to make sure that she was not talking about the same thing.
The corners of his mouth turned up and he smiled.
Holding the phone with both hands, he enlarged the WeChat interface to full screen and typed: "It's already in the car. Is it really so beautiful?"
Chen Muling replied quickly: "It's true! If I hadn't had something to do tomorrow night, I would have wanted to watch it a third time!"
After hearing what she said, Li Shi was particularly curious about what it would be like to combine the dance genre of ballet with a Chinese classical literary story such as Dream of Red Mansions.
He replied: "I'm curious about what you said. Why don't you help me pay attention to it? Next time there is a performance, I will go with you to watch it again?"
Chen Muling: "Okay!"
After chatting for a while, the Baodao girl said again before ending: "Even if there is no performance, remember to come and play with me next time you come to the capital."
"OK."
He continued to watch the video for a while, and after five or six minutes, he suddenly stopped.
Go back to the homepage and search using the words "Chen Muling" and "Baodao", and soon find an up owner named "Mu Lin-cc". Looking at the avatar, it is Chen Muling.
Clicking to see, she has posted more than 90 videos, has 126,000 fans, and is certified as a "well-known vlog up master" by the Bilibili platform.
Let’s look at the most recent video. It was a video of her going to the National Expo to see the exhibition. It was posted at 6:50 in the evening and has 13,000 views so far.
Li Shi clicked in and watched for a while, then exited, scrolled down the videos she had posted before, and clicked on another one at random.
Well, it happens to be a dance video.
She was wearing a white T-shirt and ultra-short light blue jeans, revealing her slender legs and waist. She stood in an open space and danced to the music.
This kind of dance is not very professional, but it is quite beautiful. Li Shi has seen it a little before. After all, he has always appreciated beautiful things with an open mind.
After reading it, Li Shi gave a thumbs up and voted in two coins.
The past two minutes and twenty seconds are more than two minutes of enjoyment, and there is no reason for it to be in vain.
Putting down his hands temporarily, Li Shi changed from a lying position to a sitting position. His was a lower bunk. Sitting to the right, he could have a good view of the scenery outside the car window.
But it was already ten o'clock in the evening, it was dark outside, and nothing could be seen.
Everyone else in the carriage was asleep. Looking at the occasional flash of light outside the window, Li Shi thought about his study plan for the next period of time.
It must be admitted that the capital city is a great treasure. This city brings together the best resources in the country.
For example, museum resources, such as library resources.
"If you want to complete the "Pre-Qin Cultural Context Map" with high quality in the future, I guess you will have to come to the capital again."
…
According to records in the "Book of the Later Han Dynasty" and "Luyi County Chronicles", the Laozi Temple was built in the eighth year of Yanxi in the Eastern Han Dynasty, that is, 165 AD. At that time, Emperor Huan of the Han Dynasty sent ministers to Ku County twice to pay homage to Laozi, built a Laozi Temple, and erected a Laozi Temple Stele. .
Since then, in the Tang, Song, Jin, Yuan, Qing and other dynasties, emperors have personally visited or sent ministers to Laozi Temple to worship.
Especially in the Tang Dynasty, they respected Laozi even more. They built a lot of construction projects in Luyi County and expanded Laozi Temple into Laojun Temple. Later, they issued an edict to change Laojun Temple into Taiqing Palace.
Since the Jingkang Rebellion, the Taiqing Palace has been repeatedly destroyed and rebuilt several times. The existing buildings today were repaired on the main body left over from the Ming and Qing Dynasties.
Li Shi stayed in Luyi County for two days, mainly visiting Taiqing Palace Town.
Among them, the cultural relics that cost him the most time were not the palaces and statues of gods, but a stone tablet - the Tao Te Ching Commentary Tablet.
The full name of this stele is: "The stele of commentaries on the Tao Te Ching of Emperor Kaiyuan Shenwu of the Tang Dynasty".
It is a precious cultural relic left over from the reign of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty. Its inscription is Xuanzong's interpretation of the Tao Te Ching.
During the visit, Li Shi's mind suddenly recalled what he had seen online for some reason. He thought, if a stone tablet like this, engraved with the classics of Taiqing saints, with annotations by human emperors, and blessed by incense for thousands of years, was placed in Xianxia, No matter what, it must be a meritorious treasure.
Two days later, Li Shi took the high-speed train to Qufu City.
Qufu Confucius Temple, also known as the "Queli Holy Temple", is now a 5a-level scenic spot. Li Shi also stayed here for two days.
Two days later, we took the high-speed train to Jiangcheng City, Beihu Province.
This is the last stop of this study tour.
At 9:20 in the morning, he got on the bus at Qufu East Station as usual. After getting on the bus, he first observed the passengers around him and then started reading.
When he passed Shangqiu after eleven o'clock, he put down the "Fifty Years Discussion of Ancient Chinese History in Periods" in his hand.
This is a typical book with no final conclusion, and each book has its own opinion.
"Although history has become something approved by the past, there is no standard answer to historical questions."
"In this world, there is no absolutely objective Dharma eye that can look after thousands or even millions of years of history."
He felt a little emotional and was about to record some thoughts when his assistant Zhang Huijing sent a message.
"Boss, can you answer the phone? The final finishing work on the house was inspected today, and I would like to report to you."
After Li Shi saw it, he got up and walked to the middle of the two carriages with his mobile phone.
When he arrived, there was already a woman on the phone. He found Zhang Huijing's number and dialed it.
"Hey, tell me."
Because there were still people around, Li Shi deliberately lowered his volume, but he mainly listened to the assistant on the phone reporting the situation.
"That's about it, boss."
"Well, you did a good job. The main reason is that the third-party test is also qualified, so you can transfer the money. I have worked hard for you during this period. Take a good rest for a few days. I won't arrange other work for you for the time being. You can take a five-day break." Let’s take a long vacation.”
Upon hearing that her boss was going to give her five days off, Zhang Huijing immediately said happily: "Okay, thank you boss!"
After saying that, she remembered something and quickly added: "Boss, there is one more thing. In mid-January, you asked me to remind you in two months that the Teaching Qualification Examination is approaching, so you must prepare to study. ”
Li Shi was stunned, remembering that today was March 15th, and immediately said: "Well, okay, thank you."
I hung up the phone, returned to my seat, and looked at the calendar again.
"This year's Teaching Qualification Examination is on April 17. There is only a little more than a month left. It's time to start preparing."
"Time flies so fast! I was so busy that I forgot about it. Fortunately, I asked Zhang Huijing to remind me in advance."
Li Shi registered for the "Art Teaching Qualification Examination" in mid-January, and two months passed in a flash.
The reason why I took the art teacher qualification certificate exam is to prepare for the journey of becoming a calligraphy master.
A teacher preaches, learns karma and resolves doubts.
In today's society ruled by law, all professions must hold a certificate. If you want to teach calligraphy in school, you must have a teacher's qualification certificate.
Although I am not yet sure how I will preach in the future, I should prepare it in case of emergencies.
This can also be considered part of the advance layout.
"The high school art teaching qualifications I applied for require three exams, "Comprehensive Quality", "Educational Knowledge and Ability", and "Subject Knowledge and Teaching Ability."
"When I return to Tanzhou, I will put aside the history study for the time being and study the few teaching materials examination books in the study room."
Although there was only one month left and Li Shi had not read much of the reference books he had bought for two months, he was not in a hurry.
First of all, his previous comprehensive knowledge accumulation was deep enough, including the art history he learned when he was studying painting, which was helpful for him in the exam.
Secondly, his memory is getting better and better now, and coupled with his high energy, if he studies to the extreme, he can even study efficiently for twenty hours!
Thirdly, for the Teaching Qualification Examination, each subject counts as 120 points, and only 70 points is required to pass.
"The written test is still a sure success, the key is the interview later."
"When the time comes, it would be great if I could find a teacher to teach me experience."
Among Li Shi's college classmates, several became teachers after graduation, but the first thing he thought of was Teacher Bai, the "Bai Mang Mang" who has been "fiercely fighting" recently.
Because they often chat about historical issues, the two have recently had thousands of chat records every day.
He has never chatted with anyone of the opposite sex with such a high frequency.
Li Shi picked up his phone and clicked on QQ. He was about to send a message to mention this matter to her, and then he typed a few words. Suddenly he remembered that Ailan Aiya would take Teacher Bai to Tanzhou to find him in a while.
"For interviews, it's better to ask for advice on experience in person."
"If you ask for advice face-to-face, you cannot mention it on QQ, otherwise there is a risk of exposure."
Li Shi deleted the text, took a photo out of the car window with his cell phone, and sent it: "Mang Mang, we will arrive in Zhengzhou soon. We will be in Jiangcheng at 2:30 noon. This is the last stop of the study tour."
Bai Mangmang has resigned and is at home. He spends time online every day and replies very quickly: "How are you? How do you feel?"
Feel?
Li Shi thought for a while and typed: "I'm looking forward to it, but also feeling sad. I gained a lot from this study tour and lived a very fulfilling life. I'm looking forward to it ending, but I'm a little reluctant to end it."
After sending it, he pondered for a moment and then typed: "You have helped me a lot during this time, thank you!"
Bai Mangmang was indeed very helpful to him. From giving advice at the beginning, to communicating with him online all day long, Li Shi finally asked some difficult questions. She often helped to check information, and even asked for advice through her connections. The opinions of several history professors at universities in Dongguang Province were then relayed to Li Shi, sometimes some opinions, sometimes some bibliographies that Li Shi needed.
Bai Mangming: "(Playful) Why are you being polite to me? Besides, we agreed that when I go to Xijing in the future to do the theme of 'Exploring the Ancient Capitals of Many Dynasties', you have to help me. Well, it's best to accompany me." , To be honest, I’m quite curious about what kind of person he is in reality!”
