The classroom is on fire. The speakers in the lecture room are also on fire.
Mr. Liang Qichao said: "There are only mediocre people in the world." One of the signs of fire is controversy. The public has many different views on the lecture room itself and the speaker himself.
As for the program "Lecture Room", some people think that the current program mainly focuses on literature and history, which is not worthy of the name. Let's call it "Lecture Room of Literature and History". Some people think that almost all the programs produced by the lecture hall are ancient literature and history. What about modern history? I can hardly see it. Especially since 1840, especially the history of the Republic of China, it is worth talking about.
For the speaker, the voice of criticism is getting louder and louder. First, Redology "encircled" Liu, which means that Liu led Redology astray; Then Ge Hongbing bombarded Yi Zhongtian and criticized the three countries for "mixing chewing"; Recently, there is even dissatisfaction with Yan Chongnian's "beautifying the history of the Qing Dynasty".
Regarding these disputes, Wan Wei, the producer of Lecture Room, said with a smile, "The more disputes, the happier I am." "Controversy represents concern. I hope that every scholar can cause controversy, let a hundred flowers blossom and a hundred schools of thought contend! "
If some of the disputes mentioned above are only criticisms of the positioning of the program and the speaker's speech style, the producer may laugh it off. However, what will be mentioned below may not be a laugh-off, but a serious problem, which even involves whether "Lecture Room" can continue to be popular or even survive.
What's the problem?
Second, don't talk nonsense in academic speeches.
On February 16, 2006, Southern Weekend published an article entitled "Don't talk nonsense in academic speeches" by Wang Xuetai, a researcher from China Academy of Social Sciences. The article said, "A few days ago, the lecture room was broadcasting" Talking about Twenty-four Ministers of the Qing Dynasty ",which was similar to" joking ".Next, he listed some" hard injuries "in the speaker's speech.
1, the speaker said, "In ancient times, businessmen were discriminated against. They can't take their own cars, and businessmen can't take the imperial examinations. Naturally, they can't be officials. " Mr. Wang Xuetai pointed out: "In ancient times, there was a period of discrimination against businessmen (but it was treated differently in different dynasties), but in the Qing Dynasty, there was no discrimination that businessmen were not allowed to ride; There is no rule that businessmen are not allowed to take the imperial examination. "
2. When explaining the position of "Chef of Shangshufang", the speaker said that this "Chef" is in charge of six Shangshu departments. Mr Wang Xuetai pointed out that the correct meaning should be the "head" of the emperor's master, not the official.
3. The understanding of "walking" is also meaningful. The speaker said that "walking" means "free access for 24 hours". Mr. Wang Xuetai pointed out that the "trip" in Qing Dynasty refers to any place where former officials worked, went straight or served in institutions without specialized officials.
Explaining why Liu Yong didn't get the first place in the Jinshi exam, the speaker said that his father, Liu Tongxun, was the first minister of military affairs in China. In fact, Zhang, Jiang Tingxi, Wang Youdun, Jiang Pu and Liu Lun are all in front of Liu. This is a typical judgment without looking at historical materials.
Sure enough, it is called "hard injury"! So, who is this speaker? Needless to say, anyone who has heard of the Lecture Room knows that he is Mr. Ji Lianhai, the history teacher of the Second Middle School Attached to Beijing Normal University.
Third, Mr. Ji Lianhai's mistake.
On the Baidu lecture room, some netizens specially opened a post to collect the mistakes in Mr. Ji Lianhai's speech, and they also gained a lot.
1. Mr. Ji interpreted the idiom "Long live to pear dates" as "the emperor gave the book giver some food in addition to money", while the correct meaning was "to publish the collected books in catalpa trees so as to spread them through the ages". Because in ancient times, pear wood and jujube wood were often used as bookboards for engraving books.
2. A poem quoted by Mr. Ji is about his thoughts on compiling Sikuquanshu. There is a toothpick in the middle. He said that Ji Xiaolan said that he was very idle when he compiled Si Ku Quan Shu, and he often played with a toothpick when he had nothing to do! He seems to understand it as a toothpick for picking teeth! Actually, "toothpick" is an ancient bookmark, made of ivory, which is easy to find. Han Yu wrote a poem: "Ye Hou's family has many books, and the tea armor has 30,000 axes. Hang toothpicks one by one, if the novice doesn't touch them. " The "toothpicks" in Han poetry and Ji poetry refer to the book labels of ancient books.
When talking about the Ming emperor, Mr. Ji said that he was a nephew of the Ming dynasty, but he was actually a cousin.
There are some similar "hard injuries". Limited to space, no longer quoted.
Fourth, how to prevent the "hard injury" in the speech?
These are the "hard wounds" that I painstakingly listed in Mr. Ji Lianhai's lecture hall.
For the record, I didn't mean to embarrass Teacher Ji. On the contrary, I respect him very much. As a middle school history teacher, Mr. Ji is so familiar with history, especially the history of the Qing Dynasty. Without years of hard work and years of locksmith, it is impossible to cultivate such skills. In addition, Mr. Ji's speech is very distinctive, with a Beijing accent, full of sounds and emotions, and fascinating. Our descendants need to learn from Mr. Ji.
In fact, other speakers have had similar "hard injuries". However, they are not as scarred as Mr. Ji. I list these facts only in the hope that Lecture Room can introduce some measures to avoid or minimize such "serious injuries" in future programs.
My suggestion is to prevent and control from two aspects.
First of all, link "hard injury" with reward. Every program has a "hard injury". After verification, it is to deduct a certain percentage of the remuneration. A series that appears several times will not be invited to participate in the program. This can ensure the speaker's self-discipline and make his writing more meticulous and rigorous.
Secondly, hire relevant professionals to form an advisory committee. In fact, the lecture hall is mainly about literature and history, and it is not difficult to set up an advisory Committee. For the speaker's speech, before taking the stage, send it to the advisory Committee for review. However, the Advisory Committee only examines relevant literature and history knowledge, and does not examine academic views and ideologies. Because there is no right or wrong academic point of view, ideology is a sharp weapon to hurt thoughts.
Some people may say, at best, a TV program, you are too picky. Maybe it is. However, the audience of Lecture Room is no longer the middle-aged and elderly people it locates, but people from all walks of life, experts and scholars and the general public. There are old people and primary and secondary school students.
Just as the legal report has a strong color of popularizing law, the lecture hall is also popularizing the traditional culture of China to the whole society. Then, the first thing, the most basic thing, is not to make mistakes. As Mr. Wang Xuetai said at the end of the article, "These (Hard Wounds) don't need any rare books and cheats to quote, just look through the Draft of Qing History. It's just a little effort. CCTV lectures are for the whole country, and there may be millions of people watching and listening, so you should carefully write and review the lecture notes, and look up the books if you are not sure. In your speech, don't talk nonsense just because it is popular. Learning is a serious matter. I hope we * * *. "
The speaker should not talk nonsense, and the lecture room should also face up to "multiple injuries".
