Chapter 306 - A Lecture that Subverts All Understanding! (2/2)
Saying that, Zhang Ye flipped open the lesson plan in his hand and took out a piece of paper before walking to a projector He projected the information to let everyone see it, “Here I have a poem Of course, it was not written bypoet, scholar, and artist in the Qing dynasty, Zhang Wentao This poem is titled “Dedicated to Gao Lanshu, My Contemporary Examinee” Well, the content of the poee in standard It does not have much literary value either However, the i the poehtieth were all supplemented by Lanshu’”
This world’s history and fa Ye’s world; however, iures and history related to the Four Great Classical Novels, did not have ht no longer have the Four Great Classical Novels There was only information and proof that was lost For example, many of the information and poems to prove that “Drea in this world For example, “Folk Tunes Froed to find It ht not have been discovered by others, or was hidden in soe There was, after all, no way for wishi+ng that this world’s historical evidence was exactly preserved the sa Ye had struggled so h it was soh information to support his viewpoint
“Chapters after the eightieth were all supplemented by Lanshu?” Many people were surprised when they saw the poem’s note They shook their heads, “What can this tell?”
Zhang Ye pointed to the projected iht not even be found in today’s advanced search engines It can only be found in libraries, but I want to remind everyone Don’t look down on this tiny piece of information In the research of ‘Dream of the Red Chamber’, this poem is extremely valuable Who is Lanshu? He is Gao E, whose pen na Wentao, has already told us that the chapters after the eightieth chapter of ‘Dream of the Red Chamber’ were supplemented by Gao E!”
Senior Songher head, “This word ‘supple that is lost can also be considered as a ‘supple in the blanks can also be considered ‘supple’ , so it can’t explain anything” As a straight A student, she was truly talented
Professor Zeng nodded upon hearing this
The other Peking University teachers and students si’s points
Zhang Ye smiled “I believe I’m not the first person to see this poem I also believe that in ancient and modern times, there have been an extremely small number of people who have discovered this However, everyone without exception would have the sa They would conclude that Gao E had arranged and conserved ‘Drea? The word ‘supple in order to complete it!”
Everyone, “…”
Senior Song was also speechless, “About that…”
Teacher Zhang was fking bent on going down such a treacherous path If he insisted on explaining the word ‘suppleht, but…
Zhang Ye carried on, “And according toto relevant information and records, if it was as everyone else said, Gao E was only doing a ‘patching’ job He is not the only one arranging ‘Dreaiven to Gao E that attributes the role of all the supple to hied by him? No one else was involved? Let’s not talk about anyone else I would like to ask what happened to Cheng Weiyuan? What happened to Cheng Weiyuan, ith Gao E? Hur Hur, clearly this is illogical and does notof ‘supple in order to co, and he alone wrote the rest!”
This view and analysis !
Professor Zeng took a deep breath!
Yao Mi was shocked fro this!
Senior Zhou disagreed and i, even if your analysis is correct, who can prove that the Qing dynasty poet knows the truth? Even if we take ten thousand steps back, who knows if Zhang Wentao learned it froht that was hoas Hence, without any validation, he added this note That is all possible”
“Right!”
“He’s after all not some particularly important poet”
“Right I’ve never heard of Zhang Wentao Is what he said reliable?”
A few students argued
Zhang Ye s in hearsay? Alright, then letthat, he switched to another piece of A4 paper “Everyone, take a look This is a poeer sister There is a small note here: ‘My sister married a Han military officer of Gao descent’ It means that his sister was married to a ‘Han military officer’, whose surname was Gao when she was alive Hence, if I boldly infer fro Wentao’s brother-in-law!”
“Ah?”
“Holy sht!”
“It can’t be?”
Everyone was amazed!
Brother-in-law? Your sister, that can even work?
Zhang Ye carried on “If that is truly the case, then hoould Zhang Wentao not know about the accomplishments of his own brother-in-law? What hearsay was there? Hence, what he said was somewhat believable!” However, he did not close the case on the matter “Of course, as there is limited infor Wentao and Gao E are relatives or not To follow acadeiving everyone a new perspective” In his world, there were people who overthrew the argu Wentao’s fa Wentao knew Gao E when he wrote “Dedicated to Gao Lanshu, My Contemporary Examinee” Everyone had their own justifications, and there was still a huge controversy
However, ‘Dream of the Red Chamber’ was always mysterious ThisYe’s world, not every one of them had been unearthed!
Having controversy was normal It would be odd if there wasn’t!
A lot of history could no longer be verified, unless there was new historical data or documents discovered If not,in endless debate!
The reason why Zhang Ye mentioned this was to tell everyone that his words were backed by inforical inference He had not blindly spoken guessithout any evidence
Over here
Chang Kaige, anted to leave because he could not stand anymore of it, sat back down!
Many of the Peking University teachers, students and reporters, who had previously shrugged off Zhang Ye’s idea, all turned silent!
Of course, they found it i Ye’s audacious conjecture, but after a round of de Ye, they realized they had no way to retort hi Ye, they could not provide any evidence or documents to prove the problem about Gao E!
