After dealing with the affairs of the inner palace, the emperor and queen once again warmed up and sprinkled dog food on the eunuchs who did not bring a handle.

During this period, Zhu Cihong asked about the development of "Tianxia Times", a newspaper run by Xu Chenyun, which specializes in popularizing overseas affairs to the people.

Over the years, the "Tianxia Times", which has strong financial support, has developed rapidly, not only in the provinces and provinces of the Ming Dynasty, but also in the vassal states of the Ming Dynasty in East Asia.

This time, Wu Zhong went to the West and brought a group of newspaper members with him, preparing to set up branches in European countries to collect European intelligence and at the same time promote the strength of the Ming Dynasty.

Xu Chenyun said: "Your Majesty, the concubine thinks that the official language of the Ming Dynasty should be spread overseas, and strive to upgrade Chinese to an international language." ”

Zhu Cihong smiled slightly and said: "Your idea is very good, a world power must have a strong country!" ”

The official dialect of the Ming Dynasty is according to the "Hongwu Zhengyun", which inherited the Tang and Song Dynasty rhyme system, but it is not completely consistent with the "Central Plains Rhyme" of the previous dynasty.

First of all, it was that the scholars at that time were accustomed to using traditional pronunciation and did not recognize the new official dialect, and the culture needed to be disseminated by the scholars.

Zhu Yuanzhang has always liked to draw salary from the bottom of the kettle, don't you scholars don't admit official words? Very good!

Do you want to be an official? If you want to, you must be able to speak Chinese and official language!

If the official does not speak Chinese, he will be punished ten times first, and then you will be given small shoes to wear!

The so-called "everything is inferior, only reading is high", isn't reading just to become an official and enter the upper class? I can't get along with anyone, and I can't get along with myself!

Learn, must learn! I have to learn day and night!

In this way, the official dialect of the Ming Dynasty was first promoted among officials and scholars, and was cited as fashionable and became a symbol of nobility!

At the beginning of people, sex followed the trend and liked to pretend to be forced, and this kind of atmosphere gradually had a broad foundation among the people and was taken as a trend.

Just like buying a house in the city in the 21st century, at first few people in the countryside were willing to buy a house in the city, but suddenly a family in the village bought a house and showed it off among the neighbors, saying that it was used as a marriage house for their sons and daughters-in-law.

Soon, several other families in the village will also buy houses in the city.

The reason is very simple, if your family can give it to the child, my family must also give it, otherwise my son will suffer a loss if he marries his daughter-in-law......

A village is such a big place, the east family is short and the west family is short, who has bought a house in the city, you can hear it without asking.

In the atmosphere of comparison, who wants to lag behind others? Many people go to the city to buy a house for the sake of face, and there are even many families who originally owed a lot of debts, and they still went to buy a house, and after they bought it, they didn't decorate or rent it, so they didn't live in it for a long time, and waited for their children to get married.

Of course, those who bought houses early also made money, and now unlike more than ten years ago, most of today's young people buy houses in the city to get married and want to give their children better educational resources......

At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, the implementation of official language was similar to buying a house, in the neighborhood, if anyone could not say a few words of official language, it was an old-fashioned bun, which made people look down on!

In this atmosphere, within two years, the Ming Dynasty recognized the official language, and Zhu Yuanzhang took the opportunity to order all colleges to teach the official language and promote it from the source.

As a result, the official language officially became accepted by the whole people, and until the Chongzhen Dynasty, there were many people who could speak official language in most parts of the country, and there was not much communication barrier between the places.

After Zhu Cihong implemented the education reform, he focused on popularizing the official language like Mandarin in later generations.

According to the queen's proposal to popularize the Ming official overseas, Zhu Cihong naturally agreed very much.

He also wanted to see what it would be like for future European students to learn Chinese all day.

Especially foreign students who come to study in Daming, they have to arrange a Daming official dialect level 10 exam for them.

Next, Xu Chenyun proposed to give the Chinese martial arts the name of the national martial arts, the Jianguo Art Museum and the Jingwu Gymnastics Association, so as to carry forward the Chinese martial arts, strengthen the body, cultivate the body, and improve the physical fitness of the people.

It is important that Chinese martial arts do not decline in the age of firearms.

When it comes to cultural construction, Xu Chenyun can't seem to stop.

Just as Zhu Cihong recalled the Tai Chi "Internet celebrity" Ma Baoguo, who was knocked down by an amateur player with three punches in later generations, he only heard the queen's proposal to carry forward the Chinese game of Go and promote the rich connotation of Chinese culture to the world.

The founder of Go was Emperor Yao, which was later popular in East Asian countries, and when Zheng He went to the West, he recorded that "the customs of the Three Buddhas are good...... Chess", the country of Srivijaya is also part of Indonesia.

After the middle of the 19th century, Japan's level of Go caught up with China, and in the following 100 years, China was left far behind, so much so that many Europeans thought that Go was invented by the Japanese.

Historically, Go was introduced to Europe in the mid-17th century, which coincided with the current Tianwu Dynasty.

Finally, Xu Chenyun said: "Your Majesty, the Ming Dynasty is open to contact and exchange with Western countries, and infiltrate them with culture, which will inevitably be affected by Western culture, so it is best for the imperial court to encourage local culture, which is also better to protect local culture from counter-aggression." ”

Zhu Cihong nodded thoughtfully, the game between cultures is actually a war without gunpowder!

What is war? Isn't it just a foreign culture dancing on our ruins?

In the Age of Discovery, especially with the opening up of the Ming Dynasty, the East learned from the West, or the West learned from the East, and the cultural exchanges between the East and the West became more and more frequent.

When the trend of Western culture is surging, if the Ming Dynasty is unprepared and absorbs all foreign culture with a welcoming attitude, it will be a disaster!

?????? Since it is a war, that is, whoever is strong and who makes more preparations will win!

In this battle, the Ming Dynasty must win, and it must win with a crushing attitude, changing the pattern of hundreds of years to come!

Zhu Cihong's dream is to let every corner of Europeans' life, such as food, clothing, housing, use, and transportation, be invisibly influenced by oriental culture!

For example, Europeans wear silk, drink Chinese tea, live in Chinese-style gardens, eat traditional Chinese medicines such as cordyceps, rhubarb, notoginseng, and angelica when they are sick, and walk in parks covered with Chinese-style pagodas.

Usually play chess in their spare time, read books, serious Europeans talk about "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", less serious talk about "Golden Plum", lawless talk about "Water Margin", and like mythology talk about "Journey to the West......

What is the Bible to memorize, and read the Tao Te Ching with Lao Tzu!

All this is not because Zhu Cihong is brainless, but some of them have already been realized, and in the millennium-long exchanges between China and the West (the Silk Road and the Maritime Silk Road), Han culture has influenced some Europeans.

In addition to the four major inventions, porcelain, silk, and tea, which sell well in Europe, are the best proof of this.

They contain Chinese culture, just like the luxury goods of Chanel, Hermes, Versace, Gucci, LV and other luxury goods in later generations, which filled the aristocratic circles of Europe.

These are all due to the strength of the Central Plains Dynasty of the previous dynasty.

The Manchu Qing Dynasty, which was nothing in history, was invaded by the reverse culture almost all the time, so that it affected China for hundreds of years.

Of course, after being castrated by the Tatar Qing Dynasty, there don't seem to be many Chinese cultures that can be used, mainly because they are too backward.
