Chapter 113 Wenquxing
"Dalu, the Nobel Prize winners are out, and you are the winner of the Literature Prize!"
When Guo Dalu was making words and sentences at home, adding and deleting a biography of a person he wrote, Lei Yu called him: "Many people can't call you, so I have to inform you!"
He smiled on the phone: "They know that you are not seeing outsiders when you write in seclusion, so they dare not disturb you rashly. Only I have some face in front of you, so I can only let me notify you!"
Guo Dalu smiled and said, "It is also a good thing to win the award. To be honest, the value of the Nobel Prize in Literature is declining day by day. It is basically the product of the self-interest of the old men and women. In terms of professional recognition and industry, the Nobel Prize in Literature can only be said to be the most influential literary prize, but it cannot be said to be the highest-level one!"
He said to Lei Yu: "I didn't want to receive this award, but considering the ideas of the people across the country and the support of my peers, many foreign friends have even spared no effort to promote my works. I don't know these people at all, but they don't ask for a photo to promote my works. For these people, I think I should also go to the dinner scene!"
The several books published by Guo Dalu have attracted the high attention of many Chinese and foreign writers. Among Western literary workers, there are also people who have a deep understanding of Chinese literature. When they see works such as "Dream of Red Mansions", "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and "Water Margin", they can realize the cultural value.
Therefore, many writers praised Guo Dalu's works very much, especially the authors who won the Nobel Prize in Japan before, spared no effort to promote Guo Dalu's books, which played a certain role in Guo Dalu's ability to win the Nobel Prize.
These writers are not close to Guo Dalu, but they promote Guo Dalu's works without asking for anything in return. Guo Dalu is still very grateful for this spirit and friendship.
This is the pure voice of peers, basically without any interests, but the simple mentality of being an industry person who cannot bear to be buried when seeing excellent works. This situation is commendable. Guo Dalu feels that he cannot let down the expectations of these people.
"Yes, I have also tried my best to recommend your works to the Nobel Prize jury. Many colleagues have voted for you. Even for us, you have to receive the award!"
Guo Dalu smiled and said, "Okay, last time I accompanied you to receive the award. This time, old man, please accompany me!"
Lei Yu smiled and said, "This is for sure. Unless there is a special situation, the new award winner and the former award winner must be present at the same time, because we have to witness this grand event together. Dalu, you don't have to give me a quota, you can bring your family with you!"
After Lei Yu's phone hung up, Guo Dalu continued to compile his Qing history and quickly put the matter aside. Although the Nobel Prize was a big prize, it was no longer enough to make Guo Dalu excited.
As for him, the value of the Nobel Prize is far inferior to the work he is doing now. If he can compile and compile the Qing history, then ten Nobel Prizes will not be able to compare with this sense of accomplishment.
If a person wants to become a writer or an author, the important thing is talent and reading accumulation. However, if he wants to become a real scholar in literature and history, it is not just a matter of talent. It really requires massive reading and down-to-earth research on literature and materials, otherwise it is impossible to become a scholar-type figure.
Fame can be faked, identity can be faked, but knowledge can not be faked. Whether you have knowledge or knowledge, as long as you spend a while with your peers, look at their words, deeds, and opinions on things, and of course, look at their works themselves, you can naturally judge whether the person is of level.
History writing is the most reflective manifestation of knowledge in China. If a literati can participate in history writing, it will definitely be a recognition of his professional ability by his peers. Another is the compilation of reference books such as textbooks and dictionaries, which can also reflect the knowledge of a literati.
Those who can compile these materials are truly capable people, and those who are really knowledgeable. They are far from being able to write a few wrong poems or a little article.
In Guo Dalu's view, if he can do his historical study well, it will be considered as the realization of his own phased goal in literary history.
As for the Nobel Prize, it can only be said that he gained something from his work, which is optional.
But he felt that it was dispensable, but in the eyes of others, it was more important than a thousand pounds, especially Guo Dalu's parents, Guo Kaishan and his wife, who were so happy after hearing the news.
After the thunderstorm informed Guo Dalu, half an hour later, everyone in the world knew about this news. Guo Kaishan and Wang Shiquan and his wife, Wang Xiaolu and Guo Dalu's junior brothers and sisters almost knew about the news at the same time.
"I didn't expect that there was a Wenqu star at home!"
After Guo Kaishan received the news, he was so happy that he couldn't sleep in the middle of the night, and he clamored to go back to his hometown: "I have to go back to my hometown and burn incense for the ancestral graves at home!"
He just said this and did not really go home to burn incense, but his hometown Shilipu was busier than the entire market at this time.
Although the founding of the country for so many years, feudal superstition still has its breeding soil in the vast rural areas and even cities of China, especially in rural areas. At this time, it became more and more prosperous. When ordinary people had spare money at home, they began to build temples in various villages, worship statues such as the God of Wealth Guanyin. Every day, foolish men and women went to burn incense and kowtow.
As soon as Guo Dalu won the Nobel Prize, people in his hometown became excited, and people within a radius of hundreds of miles were sensation. Before, Guo Dalu was famous, so everyone could only say that he became a star. Although he was envious, the people still lived their own lives. They didn’t want to get close to each other and dared not get close to each other. After all, the levels were different.
But this time it is different. This time, many people say that Guo Dalu is the reincarnation of Wenquxing, so he is so rich and noble. Now, many people believe it. Everyone takes their children to visit Guo Dalu's "former residence". They can drink a few sips of water and pick up a few handfuls of soil in the old yard of the Guo family. If they can grab a few vegetables in the vegetable garden, it would be even better. They can get more "literary" and bless their children to get into a good university.
This incident is very turbulent in the local area. There are endless people visiting the Guo family courtyard every day. In less than a week, all the vegetables in the Guo family courtyard were pulled out!
Even the bricks and tiles on the walls were removed, and even the ground became bumpy. If the city had not sent police officers to maintain the house, the entire Guo family's large yard would have been flattened in March!
After receiving this news, Guo Kaishan sighed with a rare sigh: "The country's literacy work has a long way to go!"
