Honey burns under the pot, and beans cry in the pot. We are born from the same root. What's the hurry? This is a seven-step poem written by Cao Zhi in Wei and Jin Dynasties, which is included in the ancient poems that primary school students must recite. It is different from the four seven-step poems that many adults learned when they were young.
A few days ago, Ms. Nie called this newspaper and said, "I found out how the seven-step poem became six sentences in the extracurricular reading materials given to children by the school?" Six seven-step poems confuse Kiki, a primary school student. She is a second-grade student. She used to recite four seven-step poems skillfully, but she saw six sentences written in the textbook.
I can't help asking: "How is it different from what the teacher taught?" In an interview, Mr. He, the copyright owner of the "six sentences" version of the standard original poem "Ancient Poems for Primary School Students", said that the Ministry of Education requested that the original text should not be abridged during the publication and compilation of the poem. According to the latest research results of modern and contemporary scholars, it is considered that Four Sentences and Seven Steps Poetry is an excerpt and should not be adopted.
"Primary school students must recite ancient poems, which are planned and published by us, in line with the Chinese teaching standards of primary schools and in strict accordance with the requirements of the Ministry of Education."
Expert: It should be based on six poems. In this regard, Professor Cheng from the Chinese Department of China Renmin University looked through the relevant literature and gave a detailed answer: First of all, the seven-step poem had been circulated in two versions, and later, after being collated by scholars, he thought that two sentences were missing from the four-sentence version, so six sentences should be credible.
Secondly, whether it is necessary to add notes depends mainly on the editor's thinking. Perhaps the editor thinks it is unnecessary to annotate the books used by primary school students.
In addition, there are many reasons for the differences of individual words in poetry. One is based on different versions, because Cao Zhi's collected works are compiled from preserved books, which will inevitably be different due to human factors such as copying and memory; In addition, the use of interchangeable words.
For example, the word "ran" in the sentence "take a drastic measure" was changed from a common word. Professor Cheng suggested: "Readers should look for credible manuscripts when learning ancient poems, based on the proofreading results of their predecessors."
