From Nanchang to Nanchang
Time:14:00 on November 29th (Sunday)
Location:Live broadcast by Weibo, messenger of Shanghai Library.
Speaker:Such as water (history lecturer)
Although China is a traditional mainland country, its marine strategy and sea power awareness are also the focus of this country’s concern. In 1953, Chairman Mao made an important instruction that "in order to oppose imperialist aggression, we must build a strong navy". Among the large and small naval vessels, destroyers have the reputation of "marine light cavalry". The history of destroyers has lasted for more than 100 years, from Hawok to Island Wind, from bainbridge to Alibek. In the Republic navy, there is naturally this versatile figure at sea. So, what is the performance of the destroyer of the Republic Navy? What is the development context? We need to spend a little time sorting out and using public information to explain. From Nanchang to Nanchang, please watch and listen to the live broadcast on time.

The second half of the 19th century is the prosperous period of Russian literature and the upsurge of Russian national consciousness.

Beijing | Dunhuang Art and the History of China Painting
Time:14:00 on November 28th (Saturday)
Location:Peking University Erti Underground Lecture Hall B102, No.5 Summer Palace Road, Haidian District
Speaker:Zhao Shengliang (Dean and Researcher of Dunhuang Research Institute)
In the past, there were some difficulties in the study of China’s painting history, including the lack of research materials, limited published high-definition picture books and outdated research methods. The dilemma in the study of painting history highlights the important value of Dunhuang art. Dunhuang frescoes truly reflect the development of painting art during the 4th century to the 14th century, especially from Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties to Sui and Tang Dynasties. Paintings handed down from generation to generation are extremely rare, and Dunhuang frescoes with abundant stocks can supplement the deficiency of painting history. We can identify the painting styles of famous painters such as Gu Kaizhi in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Yan Liben, Wu Daozi, Zhou Fang and Li Sixun in the Tang Dynasty through the investigation of Dunhuang murals and the materials of ancient painting history, and fully understand the history of China painting.

Chengdu | Fish Out in Drizzle: Bashan and Shushui and the World of Animals and Plants in Tang Poems
Time:November 28th (Saturday) 14:30-16:30
Location:No.918, South Section 1 of Tianfu Avenue, Tianfu New District, Luhu Art Exhibition Center, Luhuitang
Speaker:Ran Yunfei (scholar, writer)
China’s literature, including poetry, has always had a tradition of describing the immediate scenery-landscapes, animals and plants. When we saw that Xu Ding, a scholar in the Qing Dynasty, and Yuan Gangfeng, a Japanese scholar, and other hand-painted maps of the Book of Songs, spread endlessly, we knew that what they said was true. On the other hand, poetic geography often only pays attention to the geographical conditions of landscape rivers, ignoring the characteristics of animals and plants on them. For example, there were many poems about litchi produced in Sichuan in the Tang Dynasty, but they gradually disappeared. The reason was related to climate change, but the discussion in this aspect did not attract enough attention. In fact, most people only pay attention to the literary appreciation of poems, while scholars often only pay attention to textual research on the basis of textual research, not so much to the historical and geographical information contained in poems. Although Chen Yinque’s "Yuan Bai Poems" has been demonstrated before, there are not many practitioners, probably because of the current trend of producing more junk papers, which makes people unable to work slowly and do fine work. That’s right. In this lecture, let’s do some detailed inquiry work.

Location:Zhijian University Town Branch, No.343 Lushan South Road, Yuelu District
Guest:Peng Jianbin (writer), Kuailehao (media person) and Wu Qi (editor-in-chief of Single Reading)
Most of Peng Jianbin’s novels were written during his business trip, taking a long-distance bus to different cities, looking for hotels to stay, going to the streets to find dealers’ shops, and then going in to negotiate business-this is the reality that salesman Peng Jianbin bears. However, for the novelist Peng Jianbin, although those journeys always start from reality, they will inevitably slide into dreams and fiction in the end. Kuailehao, a journalist, seems to be able to make any character open his heart and tell his story. As the editor-in-chief of Single Reading, Wu Qi has always insisted on "fishing for stars in the sea at night", trying to break through the isolation between literature and daily life by discovering new and marginal authors, and Single Reading also walks between fiction and non-fiction. On November 29th, we invited Kuailehao and Wu Qi to Changsha and sat down with Peng Jianbin, who lives here, to share their stories, discuss truth and fiction, novels and dreams.
