Chapter 1299: BanquetTranslator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The experts, scholars, and professors followed the staff to the designated place.
When they arrived at the literature club venue and saw the surrounding scenery, everyone immediately felt excited.
Wang Hui handed the power to arrange the venue to Shen Qian, who did it according to Xia Wanyuan’s preferences.
The entire venue was at the foot of Longqi Mountain, the size of nearly six football fields. It was surrounded by mountains, and a waterfall was hanging not far away. Mountain springs flowed out from the peak and meandered past the foot of the mountain.
The vegetation was flourishing, and flowers and birds were everywhere.!!
Coincidentally, the weather today was especially good. The blue sky was filled with white clouds, and the sun hung high in the distance, casting golden light on the ground. The river was illuminated with golden ripples.
There were all sorts of trees and stones in the venue, but there were no tables and chairs.
A professor called the staff over and asked where they were going to sit. The staff pointed at the stones and various trees.
“Everyone, don’t worry. We’ve already gotten someone to wipe it clean overnight.”
With that, the staff left.
Looking at the rocks everywhere, this group of professors who had been used to sitting on soft chairs for a long time were dumbfounded. The experts and scholars from all over the world were also a little stunned.
At that moment, there was a commotion in the crowd not far away. Everyone looked over and saw Xia Wanyuan walking over accompanied by everyone.
Xia Wanyuan greeted some familiar people, then casually found a place to sit down. Seeing that Xia Wanyuan had sat down, the others stopped being pretentious and found suitable seats to sit down.
Amidst the birds’ chirping and the fragrance of flowers, there was a gurgling stream. What entered their eyes was beautiful mountains and clear water. Everyone sat on the limestone slab, their hearts filled with poetry.
Seeing the scale of thousands of people, Wang Hui was extremely smug. He had single-handedly facilitated this event. He stood up with a script and prepared to give an opening speech.
However, Wang Hui was used to lording over the school and did not realize that not everyone would buy it.
He walked to the middle and had just taken out the speech when a professor asked, “The professor standing here, how many books have you published? How many papers have you published?”
“…” Wang Hui was speechless. He was about to say that he was the organizer and that it had nothing to do with his results.
However, before he could retort, the other professors turned their heads to the side, looking like they did not want to talk to him at all.
Wang Hui’s face was red and green. Under the instructions of the leader of Nancheng University, he finally sat down.
Everyone present was basically a big shot. No one had the right to lead the world’s experts and scholars. In the end, no one came out to start.
The literature conference naturally began.
Because there were a large number of springs and streams at the foot of the mountain, everyone exchanged their opinions through these streams.
The people upstream wrote a topic of discussion and placed it on a small plate in the water. The small plate slowly flowed down the stream. Whoever took it wrote their opinion on the paper.
If the professors and scholars behind agreed with the previous point of view, they would tick this person’s point of view. If they did not agree, they would write different arguments behind.
In addition to all sorts of discussion topics, there was also an exchange between calligraphy and painting.
Not only did everyone draw separately, but sometimes, they even used a theme as the core. One would draw half of it, then place the painting on the water and float it to another place for others to draw the other half.
Later on, not only were there all sorts of paintings, but there were also tea and pastries floating in the stream.
This exchange was originally scheduled to take place in the morning, but everyone’s nature was too high. In the end, they even ate lunch on the spot.
The netizens watched the live broadcast through the screen and were filled with envy.
There were many cameras filming the experts and scholars. Seeing their topics and all sorts of casual paintings and paintings, the audience had no other thoughts other than wanting to kneel.
Although everyone had heard at first that the literature meeting this time was filled with big shots,
However, when they really saw who was at the scene, other than saying awesome, everyone could not say anything else.
Because of the battle between Xia Wanyuan, Qing University, and Nancheng University, the literature meeting this time had almost attracted all the top scholars in China.
As for internationally, Nancheng University had paid a huge price to invite them over. Naturally, they were all very famous international figures. Those who could get to know Xia Wanyuan were all immortal big shots that could only be seen in textbooks.
[Anyone present is an author from a textbook or in a photo that can be found in a book.]
[How awesome… I can already foresee how much this exchange will affect our country’s literary development. Just the topics they studied just now will definitely become a popular topic in the literary world in the future.]
[I thought this was just an argument. I never expected it to end up like this. It’s too ruthless.]
[ Only I think that if they organize a gathering here, will it have the same taste as the Lanting Gathering back then?? Back then, the Lanting Gathering produced a great work like the Orchid Pavilion Collection. I wonder how many shocking works will appear at this event. ]
To scholars, they were really particular about inspiration. They were probably infected by this scenery and atmosphere.
After the event ended that day, everyone strongly suggested that it continue.
Hence, the half-day exchange lasted for three days.
