What level would Wu Yishu be in if she traveled to ancient times?

In the past few days, the circle of friends has almost been flooded by a little girl named Wu Yishu. With her strong strength and calm spirit, she won the championship in the second season finals of the \”Chinese Poetry Conference\”. This little girl born in 2000 from the High School Affiliated to Fudan University became famous in one fell swoop. I specially found the video of the program from the Internet and found that the little girl did a good job, with a calm and decent manner, and witty answers to questions. No wonder some netizens said, \”This beautiful girl born in the 2000s has fulfilled all people\’s fantasies about talented women in ancient times.\” However, after seeing Netizens commented that I suddenly had an interesting question: If the little girl Wu Yishu traveled to ancient times, what level would she be at? The \”Chinese Poetry Conference\” mainly tests the contestants\’ poetry accumulation. It is said that Wu Yishu has as many as 2,000 poetry reserves! So, how many poems did ancient poetry lovers generally accumulate? In \”A Dream of Red Mansions\”, there is a section called \”Xiang Ling learns poetry\”, from which we seem to be able to discern some clues. Lin Daiyu said to Xiang Ling, who wanted to learn poetry from her: \”If you really want to learn, I have \”The Complete Works of Wang Mojie\” here. You can read a hundred of his five-character rhymes, carefully figure them out, and then read them again. I read one or two hundred of Lao Du\’s seven-character rhymes, and then read one or two hundred of Li Qinglian\’s seven-character quatrains. I first had these three people as a foundation, and then I added Tao Yuanming, Ying Jian, Xie, Ruan, Yu, Bao and others looked at it. You are a very smart person. You will not be a poet in less than a year!\” To put Lin Daiyu\’s words more straightforward, Xiangling needs to memorize 500 classics. After intensive reading of 5,000 famous works, you can start writing poetry. You know, she has read all the books that Lin Daiyu read to Xiang Ling. She told Xiang Ling, \”You only see the ones with red circles, they are all chosen by me.\” It can be seen that Lin Daiyu\’s own poetry reserve is much greater than hers. Ask for more from Xiangling. Of course, \”A Dream of Red Mansions\” is a novel, and there may be exaggerations in it. But we can also learn about the accumulation of poetry by the ancients from their academic systems and teaching materials. When the ancients studied, they first \”enlightened\” their education at the age of four and entered the Mongolian school to start studying. The curriculum at the elementary school level is what we often call \”three hundred thousand\”, namely \”Three Character Classic\”, \”Hundred Family Surnames\”, \”Thousand Character Classic\”, and \”Thousand Family Poems\”. These entry-level reading materials are all required for children to memorize. Generally, one reads \”Hundred Family Surnames\” first, then \”Three Character Classic\”, then \”Disciple Rules\”, then \”Thousand Character Classic\”, then \”Enlightenment of Rhythm\”, then \”Poetry of Thousand Family\”, roughly in this order. In \”Poems of a Thousand Families\”, a total of 1,281 poems are recorded. I believe that children who study harder and have more parental influence at home can easily recite 2,000 poems. It can be seen that Wu Yishu, who has a reserve of 2,000 poems, is probably at a higher stage of ancient learning. I remember that there was a scene in the TV series \”Wulin Gaiden\” where Mo Xiaobei traveled through time. Mo Xiaobei, who is not very interested in learning, traveled to modern times and wrote two calligraphy strokes. He was actually evaluated as \”strict and neat, quite ancient style\” and \”cannot be practiced for ten or eight years.\” After Mo Xiaobei himself returned to ancient times, he also said: \”As far as my writing skills are concerned, if I just change places, I can already sweep a large number of people.\”To be honest, if we compare traditional culture with the ancients, it is really difficult for us today to gain an advantage. After all, all our ancient students did was practice calligraphy, read books by sages, and learn poems and songs, nothing else. Under the pressure of so many subjects in the high school entrance examination and college entrance examination, Wu Yishu can recite 2,000 poems, which is really commendable. I don’t know if Wu Yishu could be called a talented woman if she traveled to ancient times, but if she is a model of talented women among contemporary students , well deserved. If we can take advantage of this poetry conference to let our children learn mathematics, physics and chemistry well, they will also be more influenced by traditional culture, so that young people will have more of the temperament of poetry and calligraphy, and we will do a great job.
