Princess Kalia walked over, picked up a few pieces of paper that Jiang Zai had written, and looked at them carefully, and the more she looked, the more surprised she became.

What is Classic?

That's the classic!

Princess Kalia read thousands of volumes, often soaked in the library of Lordaeron to read, and had a special court scholar as a teacher, and she had read the most classic works, even some from the High Elf Kingdom.

One thing is clear:

The works of the High Elf Kingdom are indeed better than those written by anthropologists, after all, people have a lifespan of hundreds or thousands of years, or even thousands of years, no matter what they learn, they will definitely become masters if they are smashed for tens or hundreds of years, and the works they write are of course better.

But now, she has seen "Hamlet" and finally understands that time is not the only factor that can create classics, and that humans can also create masterpieces that rival or even surpass the High Elves, and "Hamlet" is such a work.

What surprised Princess Kalia even more was that "Hamlet" depicted a completely different world, without Lordaeron or Stormwind, let alone elves and orcs, the customs and culture in it were completely different, and it was like a world that only existed in fantasy!

At this moment, she understood that this was definitely not written by Jiang Zai, and a 15-year-old boy would never be able to write it. Even if he is a demon, he can't write it!

"Why do you pretend to be the heroic posture of the buried majesty, and appear here in the robe of the previous king?"

"Why do our citizens have to be so vigilant every night, why do our countries cast bronze cannons every day and purchase armaments from abroad? Why are shipbuilders forced to work all day without vacation? ”

"Keep your heart shut, don't act in vain with hasty thoughts, be friendly and avoid frivolity, friends in trouble can make deep friends, and the love of wine and meat should be kept away."

Princess Kalia recited softly, in a low voice, completely emotionally engaged.

Because it's really well written, every sentence is classic, and every sentence can stand up to scrutiny and the test of time.

She fully believes that this theatrical work called "Hamlet" will definitely shine in Lordaeron and even the entire human world, even in the northern High Elf country, they will not be able to come up with a work that surpasses "Hamlet", it will be passed down forever and endure!

"Perfect!" Princess Kalia was amazed.

Don Quixote was still scoffing, because he always thought that a 15-year-old boy could write something. He even suspected, or certain, that "Tides of Darkness" was not written by this young man named Nicholas at all, and that he probably saw that some unknown scholar had written it, and that it was just a transcription.

Because he noticed that after the name of "Tide of Darkness", there was another line of words:

by Aaron Rosenberg.

Apparently, it was written by a man named "Aaron Rosenberg", although both Princess Kalia and the little maid believed that it was just a pseudonym for Nicholas.

When he heard the little maid's admiration, he didn't think so, feeling that the little maid was shallow and couldn't judge what was really a good work.

But when Princess Kalia also expressed her admiration, he couldn't sit still.

Because he knew that Princess Kalia had read a lot of books and had her own understanding of many classics. How good is the work that can make her admire?

And with the dignity of a princess, it is impossible to cheer a teenager on. That is, is it really that good?

While Don Quixote was still hesitating, he heard Princess Kalia chanting softly.

Rumble!

Hearing those classic lines, he was going crazy!

Oh my God, is there such a straightforward phrase in the world? Who wrote this? How can it be!

He couldn't be reserved any longer, so he rushed over directly, picked up the part that Princess Kalia had read and read carefully.

The more I read, the more surprised I became, and the more I read, the more I admired.

"It's really...... Classic! This is a real classic! Don Quixote exclaimed, "I must play it, I want to find the best actors!" I'm going to make Hamlet go all over the world! ”

Only a third of the first act was written, and Jiang Zai stopped writing.

Because he was so tired, his hands hurt and his eyes were a little dry, he needed to rest.

Moreover, it was already lunchtime, and his stomach was rumbling.

"Why did you stop? Write it quickly! Hurry up and write! Don Quixote urged.

Jiang Zai looked at him, shook his head lightly and said, "This is the real classic!" ”

Don Quixote hurriedly said, "Yes, yes, yes!" This is a real classic! It's the perfect drama at its finest! It is the highest and brightest pearl in the palace of art! ”

"You're wrong!" Jiang Zai said coldly: "Don Quixote, do you know what art is? ”

What is art?

Don Quixote was stunned, because no one had ever asked this question, and few people had thought about it.

What is art?

Drama?

Opera?

Bard's performance?

Clown's flirtatiousness?

Or the entertainment of the aristocracy?

No one has ever given an accurate definition of art. It seems that the world does not need a precise definition either.

"Art is the unity of image grasp and rational grasp, the unity of emotional experience and logical cognition, and the unity of aesthetic activity and ideology!"

Jiang Zai said lightly: "Art comes from life and is higher than life, art is rooted in life and must return to life!" Theatre is indeed a high art, but how many can interpret it perfectly? How many people can see it? I guess even the nobles of Lordaeron can't see it every day, right? Once a week? Or once a month? ”

Don Quixote defended: "Of course it can't be! How can anyone see something as noble as art......"

"Nope! Art is not noble, what is noble is life itself! ”

Jiang Zai shook his head and said: "Of course, art must go out of the palace and return to life. Storytelling, on the other hand, is a kind of performance art that can be heard every day, that everyone can hear, and that everyone can try. Now, I'm going to show you a part. ”

Jiang Zai chuckled and asked Zhi Brain to play Teacher Shan Tianfang's "Romance of the Sui and Tang Dynasties", in which Li Yuanba hammered Siping Mountain in Hammer Town.

Jiang Zai's language ability is naturally very average, but according to Teacher Shan Tianfang, learning word by word is very charming.

"This, this...... It's a form of performance that I've never seen before! Don Quixote was stunned, he never thought that there was such a thing in this world.

Storytelling, it sounds really interesting, the tone of the voice, the change of expression and tone, it is really easy to attract the audience. And it doesn't require too high literacy, ordinary civilians can understand it, and it's also easy to mobilize the audience's emotions, really...... Very interesting!
