Chapter 560

Continuing to flip through the comments, Ye Xuan immediately saw a lot of readers' messages.

"Woooooo! Ye Gouzi, you have time to write calligraphy, why don't you have time to write books?!"

"In the days without new books, my life is simply lonely like snow!"

"Ye Gouzi, if you don't open a new book, maybe you can only see my corpse!"

"If you don't write a new book, you will lose me!"

Seeing the readers howling like ghosts and wolves, Ye Xuan couldn't help but smile.

Continuing to look down, his gaze was immediately attracted by a sentence.

"Ye Gouzi, since you can write classical prose like *Preface to the Pavilion of Prince Teng*, can you also write literary classical novels?!"

The message received countless likes, and many long threads were stacked below.

Looking at "six zero zero" away, almost all were saying it was impossible.

After all, modern novels and classical novels, although they also belong to novels.

But just the background knowledge is a hundred thousand miles apart.

Different historical backgrounds will naturally involve a series of differences in history, economy, society, and word choice.

It is simply a huge challenge for the author.

Some netizens even used an extremely vivid metaphor.

Modern novels and classical novels put together, that is the difference between cars and carriages.

Although they are both cars, can you say their difference is small?!

Noticing that many readers were saying this idea was wishful thinking, Ye Xuan grinned.

Who said he couldn't?!

At this moment, Ye Xuan's mind had already recalled the last system reward.

*Dream of the Red Chamber*!

The head of the four great masterpieces of later generations!

That is the peak of classical novels!

The world-recognized peak work of classical novels!

The encyclopedia of Chinese feudal society!

The great synthesizer of traditional culture!

Seeing a group of readers shouting "withdrawn, withdrawn," Ye Xuan was looking forward to the reaction of these readers when they saw *Dream of the Red Chamber*.

Action is better than heart, Ye Xuan replied "good" to this message and walked to the computer desk.

Little did he know, this one short word of his made the Internet explode.

Countless netizens who were originally joking were shocked by Ye Xuan's answer.

"My god! This guy isn't joking, right?!"

"Can't modern novels suppress Ye Gouzi's creative desire anymore?!"

"This guy is actually going to try classical novels?! Can he do it?!"

Some readers, as Ye Xuan's die-hard fans, were already full of anticipation for Ye Xuan's new novel.

Some readers were suspicious, worried about whether Ye Xuan would crash.

Others simply waited and watched, leaving it to time to prove everything.

As the discussion heat of everyone became higher and higher, the entry 【Ye Xuan#Trying Classical Novels】 rushed to the hot search.

Afterwards, it also fell into the eyes of a group of old scholars who studied classical literature.

Shanghai Classical Literature Association Center.

In a room with an ancient fragrance, the zither was leisurely, and the tea fragrance was filled.

The old man wearing a Tang suit was focusing his mind and waving his brush to splash ink against the rubbing of the *Preface to the Pavilion of Prince Teng*.

The four characters of the dragon and snake appeared on the rice paper.

Glancing at the four large characters "Preface to the Pavilion of Prince Teng" he wrote, the old man sighed softly.

"Mr. Ye's calligraphy level is really too high."

The old man's tone was full of heartfelt conviction.

This old man was the president of the Classical Literature Association, Zhao You, and his calligraphy attainments were not low either.

But in front of Ye Xuan's calligraphy, he only felt that he was not as good as him.

Just when the old man continued to copy, the door was pushed open, and a young man rushed in.

"President, I heard that Mr. Ye is going to try classical literature, what do you think?"

The person who came was Zhao's assistant, who accidentally brushed the news on the hot search list and immediately brought the news back.

As soon as this was out, the movement of Zhao holding the brush paused, and a look of surprise appeared in his eyes.

Mr. Ye is going to try classical literature?

Previously, Mr. Ye's novels were all modern novels, how could he suddenly try classical literature across fields?!

As the president of the Classical Literature Association, he knew the gap between classical novels and modern novels too well.

Although they are both novels, the difference here is huge.

Just talking about language, modern novels often use vernacular writing, while the language of classical novels requires difficult classical Chinese!

How difficult is classical Chinese?!

Anyone who has participated in nine-year compulsory education, I am afraid that no one will think classical Chinese is simple!

Classical Chinese even once became the shadow of many students learning Chinese, which is enough to show the high difficulty of classical Chinese!

And this is just reading classical Chinese!
