Qian Xuesen’s test paper was exposed. Is his font really comparable to print?

Qian Xuesen is a world-famous scientist and the founder of China's manned spaceflight. He was born into a famous family and is the 33rd grandson of King Qian Liu of Wuyue. He graduated from National Chiao Tung University in 1934 and was admitted to Tsinghua University. He was awarded the seventh Geng Scholarship to study in the United States, and he also won the attention of the world-famous great scientist von Kármán.

As a well-known scientist at home and abroad, the United States is naturally unwilling to let Qian Xuesen return to China. U.S. Navy Undersecretary Dan Kimble commented: No matter where he is, Qian Xuesen is worth five divisions. This also made Qian Xuesen's journey back to China extremely difficult, but Qian Xuesen never forgot New China and resolutely returned to the development and construction of China.

It is said that a person is like his name and his words are like his person. What is the handwriting of such a great Qian Xuesen like? This test paper is a test paper that Qian Xuesen took at the National Chiao Tung University. Although it looks a bit old, the handwriting is completely legible. Although it is an answer question, Qian Xuesen's numbers are also neat and neat, comparable to printed ones.

This printed font is the character we often see in books, and it can also be understood as Song font. However, Song font did not originate from the Song Dynasty, but from the Ming Dynasty.

Although the Song Dynasty had a weak military in history, its economy was prosperous, calligraphy and poetry developed rapidly, and culture experienced unprecedented prosperity. The printing and publishing industry also entered a golden age in the Song Dynasty, and engraving Printing flourished, and in order to copy books, movable type printing was also derived.

In the Yuan Dynasty and Ming Dynasty, due to the need to copy books, a large number of Song versions were reprinted. The typeface is called Song Dynasty. The publication has Song fonts in it, so here is the cover. Song-style characters are easy to write and engrave, and the fonts are beautiful, so they have been passed down from generation to generation.

The imperial examination system also stipulated the use of specific fonts for answer papers, so the handwriting of ancient scholars was very beautiful. This unwritten rule has also continued. Qian Xuesen also strictly required himself to write neatly during his studies. , Three feet of ice did not become cold in a day, and Qian Xuesen's calligraphy was not mastered overnight. Looking at this calligraphy, Legalists who have written many books feel ashamed.

This 96-point test paper is Qian Xuesen’s mechanics test. However, there is an episode in this test paper. Originally, Qian Xuesen’s test was not 96 points, but 100 points. For students, 100 points It is the highest recognition of good grades, but when he got the test paper, Qian Xuesen couldn't be happy.

After Qian Xuesen got the test paper, he checked it carefully. He found that he had written NS as N, missing an S. This small mistake can almost be ignored, and the marking teacher may also This mistake was discovered, but Qian Xuesen's answer process was perfect. Maybe the teacher couldn't bear to deduct points, so he gave full marks.

If it was an ordinary student, he would just turn a blind eye, or he would warn himself not to be careless next time, but Qian Xuesen could not deceive himself. He went to the teacher and actively asked the teacher to reduce points. According to the point deduction option, this 4 points were deducted for each question, so the score became 96 points.

This "active score reduction incident" also made the teacher have a great impression of Qian Xuesen. At the same time, he also lamented that such good students are very rare! In addition to Qian Xuesen's test paper, we can also see that the graduation certificate of National Chiao Tung University is also handwritten. Qian Xuesen's diploma is even more refreshing.

It can be seen that National Chiao Tung University also attaches great importance to calligraphy and rigorous scholarship, otherwise Qian Xuesen's examination papers would not be preserved to this day. Qian Xuesen has worked hard for the development of our country, and his 44-year marriage to his wife Jiang Ying is also a good story.
