Tsinghua exams have been produced by Sun Xingzhi Shanglian, most of the candidates handed in blank papers, and only one person was all right!
The exams of Tsinghua University were posted"Sun Xingzhi"Most people answered the question, and only one person got the highest score.
Every Spring Festival, most people will post Spring Festival couplets in front of their homes, which is said to drive away the legendary New Year beast. However, when it comes to Spring Festival couplets, many people will also think of couplets, strictly speaking, Spring Festival couplets are just a type of couplets, which are mainly used during the Spring Festival.
Anyone who understands the couplet will find that it has been handed down from ancient times to the present day"A swan song for the ages"There are countless and diverse themes involved, and there are people who are trying to invent new couplets.
However, many people may not know that in 1932, Tsinghua University came up with a couplet question: Shanglian is"Sun Xingzhi", so that the candidate wants to go down. How did the examinees answer at that time?
It is worth noting that the author of the question is Chen Yinke. Chen Yinke was born in 1890 in Xiushui County, Jiangxi Province. He has deep attainments in the fields of Chinese history, classical literature, linguistics and poetry, and is known as Lü Simian, Chen Yuan, and Qian Mu"A generation of four ** scientists"。
Chen Yinke is called"The son of the son, the professor of the professor"He has taught at Tsinghua University, Southwest Associated University, the University of Hong Kong, Guangxi University, Yenching University, and Sun Yat-sen University.
Named after one of the four great philosophers in Tsinghua University's 100-year history, Chen Yinke focuses on the philosophical education of his students, and his lectures are highly regarded compared to other Tsinghua professors.
In 1932, Chen Yinke wanted to come up with a question, he thought about it and wrote it"Sun Xingzhi"Three words, and ask students to couplet for this question. It is said that very few students were able to write couplets at that time, and most of them ended up handing in blank papers. The only student who got a perfect score was Zhou Zumo.
Born in 1914, Zhou Zumo studied Confucian classics from an early age and was admitted to Peking University at the age of 18. After graduation, he worked as an assistant researcher at the Institute of History and Philology of Nanjing ** Research Institute, and as a lecturer and associate professor in the Department of Chinese at Fu Jen University in Beijing.
Regarding the couplet question raised by Chen Yinke, Zhou Zumo quickly gave it"Hu Shizhi"Answer. From the point of view of the couplet,"Sun"with"Huh"It's all surnames, and"OK"with"Sue"It means to arrive. Although"Person"with"of"There is no connection in form, but they are all imaginary words in Chinese, and they are cleverly conceived, so they get high marks.
Although Chen Yinke was not very satisfied with this answer, he later created his own couplet:"Zu Chongzhi"。In this couplet,"Ancestor"with"Sun"It can refer to both the surname and the being"Old and young"antonyms. In addition, some netizens also came up with an answer:"Confucius of Wisdom"。
From here, we can feel the playfulness of the couplet, which explains why the ancients chose to spend their leisure time"Poetry is opposed"。Even ordinary people, when they are in the mood, they will serve a few glasses of wine, play a drinking game, and read couplets, which is also fun.
