Chapter 193 Chen Kan's ambition

"Teacher Chen, have you just had a meal before? Why are you here again? Are you having a stomachache?"

"Ah, oh, no, no, Aunt Wang, you misunderstood. I've eaten too much, walked around and got to know the school environment."

In the Captain America plane, he had just experienced a big battle and was already hungry. After returning to school, he habitually walked towards the canteen to prepare for dinner. However, in the eyes of the canteen employees, Chen Kan left less than half an hour ago and is here to eat again. Is it a bad stomach?

The name of Aunt Wang in Chen Kan is Wang Qing. She is a chef in this restaurant. She cooks very well and is very good at it. She also has a habit of chatting with people who eat here.

There are not many people in the summer vacation. Chen Kan comes every day and eats a lot of meals every time, which naturally attracts her attention. I have talked with Chen Kan a few times, and the two are quite familiar with each other. She knows that Chen Kan is the new teacher at the school. Although Chen Kan does not talk about her financial situation, Aunt Wang will give Chen Kan more every time she cooks food. In her words:

"Anyway, it's summer vacation now, and you can't finish these dishes, it's a pity."

It made Chen Kan feel embarrassed to come here for a while, but the only school canteen open during the summer vacation was here. And when Aunt Wang saw that Chen Kan didn’t come several times, she took the initiative to block Chen Kan and made a "forced buying and selling".

"This habit is good. You young people who are doing research. They sit in front of the computer to study this and that every day. How bad is this? You just have to walk around after dinner. I think you have been in school for a month and are in the apartment all day. You are not familiar with the school."

"Yes, Aunt Wang is right, so I'm walking around here!" Chen Kan said a little embarrassedly.

After saying that, Chen Kan quickly left. He originally planned to find a place to have another meal, but considering his wallet, Chen Kan decided to let it go and bear it. Anyway, in the Captain America plane, it is normal for him to not eat for a day or two for the sake of mission. With Chen Kan's body now, it will not have any impact.

Back at the apartment, Chen Kan read a book and practiced martial arts. Reading and practicing martial arts have become a must-do every day. Reading is a habit accumulated over the years, and practicing martial arts is developed in the Huo Yuanjia plane.

Looking through his notes and once again feeling his strong memory, Chen Kan thought: "It seems that we can start doing that now."

When Chen Kan was studying, he made a grand wish, which was to study the traffic road situation in the Song Dynasty and published a book, which is the so-called "traffic map examination".

The traffic situation of an era has a huge impact on every region of this era. Traffic situation can affect all aspects of economy, politics, and military, and will basically affect any field. It is very important to understand an era.

But it is very complicated and difficult to actually do this project.

For example, this is like a detective solving a case. Before solving a case, the detective must grasp all the relevant information of the case, figure out the relationships and clues of the relevant persons, and even the smallest details cannot be spared.

In this research, a scholar is a detective. A scholar needs to exhaust all the information about this dynasty. It took hundreds of years for a dynasty. The relevant documents are vast, but if you want to "solve the case", you must do it. Leaving even a small piece of evidence may lead to deviations in your inference.

In this process, a detective will inevitably get some wrong clues, be interfered with the idea of ​​solving the case, and even lead the case astray. A skilled detective will carefully think and reason, and then eliminate those interfering clues.

The same is true for doing this research. The records of those materials must be wrong. After all, they are written by people, and scholars must reason and judge, just like detectives, because there is only one truth, see through the essence of the matter and find out the mistakes. However, how many clues a detective can face, at most dozens of them can be remembered in their minds.

However, historical scholars face a vast sea of ​​documents, and even a small inference is very difficult. In the Qing Dynasty, some scholars would write 300,000 to 400,000 words just to verify the authenticity of a word. This school is called the "Study School".

The most well-known case is "Dream of Red Mansions". Now everyone knows that the last forty chapters of "Dream of Red Mansions" were written by Gao E.

But at the beginning, everyone didn't know this. Many people thought it was Cao Xueqin's "unfinished". Until modern times, Hu Shi and several other masters were like detectives, searching for relevant documents in a vast sea of ​​smoky documents, and then came to a conclusion: the last forty chapters of "Dream of Red Mansions" were continued by Gao E.

This is just a book called "Dream of Red Mansions", which took several years of Hu Shi and several masters. This time, what Chen Kan wanted to do was the traffic conditions of the entire Song Dynasty, which was a topic that was countless times more complicated.

In this research, what is really done now is the transportation map test of the Tang Dynasty, which was written by Mr. Yan Gengwang for 40 years.

Chen Kan had the ambition of a traditional scholar. In ancient China, as a scholar, his greatest ambition was the so-called "three immortals", "establishing virtue", "establishing merits", and "establishing words". These three things are not abandoned for a long time and will be remembered forever.

Now recognized by the academic community, there is only one person who truly achieved the "three immortals" in Chinese history, that is, Wang Yangming. Strictly speaking, the others are only half.

It is difficult to achieve any of the "Three Immortals" and it is as difficult as climbing to the sky. This is originally just the ambition hidden in Chen Kan's heart.

But Chen Kan is different now. He has super memory, logic ability and excellent physical fitness. This ambition naturally begins to awaken. It may not take ten years to complete this project. Then he strives to write down the map tests for Ming and Qing dynasties. With three studies, Chen Kan's ambitions are enough to achieve.

He did it as soon as he said that, Chen Kan no longer hesitated and immediately took out the "History of the Song Dynasty" and started with this most basic document.

Chen Kan spent the whole night reading "History of the Song Dynasty" and taking notes. Chen Kan couldn't guarantee that he could really remember everything, so he "a good memory is not as good as a bad pen." He wrote more.

The discipline of history is actually quite strange.

History is a subject with strong theoretical and logical nature. Do you think it takes a good brain to learn this subject?

It seems that it is necessary to do such a meticulous reasoning, how can you not use your brain easily?

But there are some historians in history who have nothing to do with high IQ, and some of them are even hard to use. The most famous one is Zhang Xuecheng.

It is now very popular in all parts of China to edit local chronicles in the region, and he was the master of local chronicles, and he also proposed the famous "Practical and practical application".

He is definitely a master of historians, but is his brain easy to use? Generally speaking, he is still polite. When Zhang Xuecheng had the best memory, he couldn't even memorize articles of 300 words. He dropped out of school. He made many common sense mistakes. He himself said that his IQ was not good. He mistaken the name of Emperor Xuanzong of Tang Li Longji in his works many times. How could such a person do historical research, let alone theoretical research?

But with his "bad pen tip", he wrote many famous works and became the founder of "Chinese Historical History", and the discipline of "historical History" is biased towards theoretical research.

Of course, there have also been many very smart historians, such as Hu Shi, Chen Yinke, etc., all of them have different talents, which feels very contradictory, but this is history.

After making up his mind, Chen Kan's life became more regular, and he lived at three o'clock and one line every day, a canteen, a data room, and an apartment.

He is very busy all day long. In addition to reading materials, Chen Kan also has to spare some time to watch movies. Fortunately, after strengthening, Chen Kan is not only reading books quickly, but also watching movies very quickly. He accelerates his status and does not have to worry about missing important plots.
