Chapter 33: Are You Worthy of Being Called Liu Xiu Too?
Hearing Wu Lun's refusal, Yang Xiong's face collapsed, and he suddenly became very disappointed, and Fang Cai's high-spirited self-confidence faded instantly.
He reverted to the stuttering can't talk, was chased by soldiers and jumped off the Tianlu Pavilion, and was disgusted by people and could only live with wine.
"Ziyun Weng is slow."
Wu Lun stopped him: "I'm a little interested in Ziyun Weng's "Dialects", which showed his magic yesterday but didn't include these proud works!" โ
Hearing this, Yangxiong was stunned.
In addition to wanting to "repay the favor" and not owe favors, Yangxiong actually has some love for Wulun, after all, the first impression is too good.
His family has been passed down for five generations, and when it reached Yangxiong, two sons died at the same time, especially the smartest youngest son, Yangxin. When he was 9 years old, he was able to talk to Yang Xiong about the "Taixuan" that was known for its difficulty, but he also died early, which made Yang Xiong feel painful.
Although Hou Ba is diligent, his talent is limited, and his understanding of Yangxiong's most proud "Taixuan" and "Fayan" is limited. Wang Long and others were only interested in Yangxiong's long-aroded rhetoric.
It would be nice if he could accept another talented good disciple and pass on these learnings that had taken him all his life's painstaking efforts!
Unexpectedly, Fifth Lun only had intentions for his most secluded knowledge.
The full name of this dialect book is "่ผถ (yรณu) Xuan Xuan Messenger Peerless Interpretation of Other Dialects".
It is said that during the Zhou and Qin dynasties, envoys from Xuan Xuan would be sent to various places in August every year to collect dialects of different generations.
After collecting and sorting, it is collected to facilitate the investigation of the customs of the world.
After the fall of the Qin Dynasty, these documents were scattered. A great Confucian like Liu Xiang in the former dynasty only heard of his name, but did not know his position.
However, Yan Junping, Yangxiong's teacher when he was in Shuzhong, recited a thousand words and knew a little about the outline. Yang Xiong learned, and on this basis, accumulated 30 years of work, and finally included the world's prescriptions in one book.
In the eyes of the people of the time, this is a miscellaneous study that does not enter the stream, and even Yangxiong feels that this is just his own interest, and he made it in order to fulfill the long-cherished wish of the teacher, but it is a book that hangs on the sun and the moon and does not publish it. When you die, you can send it to Shiqu Pavilion for collection.
As everyone knows, Wu Lun felt that Yang Xiong had just listed all kinds of knowledge, but it was useless.
What if the resignation is done well, write another drama Qin Meixin for Wang Mang? As for "Taixuan" and "Fa Yan", I am not interested in just hearing the name Wu Lun. I Ching and Analects Fifth Lun know, but Yang Xiong's two books modeled on the style, forgive him for his bad history, why haven't he heard of it at all?
Fifth Lun said secretly: "It should just be Yangxiong's self-congratulatory work, and future generations will either lose it or put it on the shelf, it must be like this." โ
His time and energy are limited, and he cannot devote it to practical knowledge, such as complicated chapters and sentences, which he will not learn.
But the skill of dialects, Wu Lun is interested in trying to learn.
The reason why Wulun came to Chang'an was to see how Wang Mang's "New Dynasty Yazheng" caused chaos in the world, and secondly, he wanted to meet with the national teacher "Liu Xiu" for a while. The third is that he wants to make friends with heroes from all over the world in the Beijing division with many characters, so that he can use them in the future.
But after getting along with filial piety from various states and counties in the Lang Office for the past two days, Wu Lun found that it was difficult for everyone to just want to talk and communicate well.
In these years, it is common for ten miles to have different sounds, and if they are separated by thousands of miles, they basically can't understand each other's dialects at all. It is true that there is Luoyin Yayan as "Mandarin", but there is no pinyin alphabet in these years, and with the passage of time, Yayan itself is deviating. Not to mention that it varies from person to person, some people don't say Yayan, it's okay, and when you say it, you will find ......
"He might as well speak in tongues!"
Because of this, among the hundreds of Lang officials, except for Xiao Yan and a group of remnants of the previous dynasty, they are basically divided into different circles according to geography, and there is little communication with each other.
The same sound is the easiest reason to make friends, who would make friends with strangers who can't communicate with each other?
Anyway, if you are idle, it is better to have a rough understanding of this dialect technique with Yangxiong, and it is better to have one more skill than nothing, and I can say one sentence in the future: No one knows dialects better than me.
At the very least, you need to know what to say about praise and swearing.
Seeing that Yang Xiong was silent for a long time, Wu Lun smiled and said, "Could it be that Ziyun Weng is reluctant?" โ
"Definitely." Yang Xiong shook his head: "I just remembered that Bo Yu is the second person who is interested in this knowledge." โ
"Oh? Who is the first one? โ
"Be a national teacher, Uncle Liu Ying." Yang Xiong showed a wry smile, he no longer wanted to mention this matter, he was still used to calling the former name of the national teacher: Liu Xin.
The two worked together as Huangmenlang, who were friends of Mo Zhi, exchanged knowledge together, criticized the dark politics of the previous dynasty, and at the same time were attracted by Wang Mang, who exuded the light of Confucian ideals and was like the reincarnation of the Duke of Zhou, and was willing to be driven by him.
But as they got older, as the various shortcomings of the new room appeared, the two had different ideas and turned against each other.
Liu Xin once ridiculed Yangxiong's self-creation, saying that the simple documents he wrote would become a masterpiece in the future, and the world would not understand it, but would use it as the lid of the sauce jar.
But Liu Xin coveted Yangxiong's "Dialect" again, and after Liu Xin wrote a letter threatening to ask for it the year before last, and Yangxiong replied that he said something like "hanged to death", the two completely broke up, and there has been no correspondence since then.
Yang Xiong didn't want to mention his old friend anymore, so he only cheered up and began to teach Wu Lun his knowledge.
He only supported Wang Long to read the dictionaries and learn by himself, but he was very attentive to the fifth Lun, found a book on dialects hidden at home, and patiently preached.
"The dialects of the world can be roughly divided into fourteen regions."
"Qin and Jin are a lineage, Liang and Western Chu are a lineage, Zhao Wei is a line north of the river, Song Wei and Hanoi are a lineage, and Zheng Han and Zhou are a lineage......"
โฆโฆ
In the Taixue District on the outskirts of Chang'an, Liu Xiu, who has just come to report and is preparing to study here for a year and a half, is facing a difficult situation.
"You, the former teammate, what's your name, it's not good, you want to be called Liu Xiu! Isn't that embarrassing for us? โ
The doctoral disciples who came to register for them were arrogant, holding wooden brushes, and scolded Liu Xiu, Deng Yu and others.
The front team is the new name of Nanyang changed by Wang Mang, and the people of Nanyang feel that it is extremely ugly, and the good southern metropolis suddenly becomes the feeling of a small village in Lilu.
But there is no way, there are also Hedong, Hanoi, Hongnong, Henan, and Yunchuan who are in sympathy with them, and the six difficult brothers and sisters were made up into Wang Mang's "six team counties", closely surrounding Luoyang City, which was renamed "Bao Zhong Xinqing".
But Liu Xiu never expected that the name of the new room would be changed to his head.
The reason can't, the doctor's disciple said that the national teacher is called "Liu Xiu", and the two have the same name, so he asked that Liu Xiu love to call it how he likes to call it on weekdays, but he has to think of a new name to record it in the book.
Deng Yu was young and talented, a little unconvinced, and retorted: "I only heard that he ascended the throne for the Son of Heaven, and his name was in the world, and he was all avoided in the four seas, but I never heard of avoiding it for the four auxiliaries and three dukes." โ
I heard that the original name of the national teacher was Liu Xin, and it was in order to avoid the homonym of Emperor Ai of the Han Dynasty that he changed his name to "Liu Xiu" twenty years ago.
Now he is a teenager who has become an evil dragon, and he wants to impose the name change on others.
Deng Yu was still a little tender, in terms of the story, where could he be the enemy of these doctoral disciples, but he saw that the disciple sneered: "In the former Han Dynasty, there were really people who avoided their relatives, those who were forbidden were forbidden at the door, and those who were not servants were not allowed to enter, so it was said that they were forbidden." The father of the Empress Dowager of the new room, the name of the Marquis of Sima Yangping, was avoided at that time, so it was said to be in the province from then on. โ
"Now that the national teacher is marrying a daughter to the prince, he is also considered a relative, and it is reasonable to avoid it, and every word has to be changed, not to mention that your name has collided together."
"Moreover, many doctors in Taixue are high-ranking apprentices of national teachers, if they hold a thin book and read their names, and read the word 'Liu Xiu', wouldn't it be disrespectful to call the teacher respectful? Hugh said a lot, quickly think about writing it, and in the future, in Taixue, you will also call the words more and say the name less. โ
This remark made Liu Xiu, who has always been cautious, can't help but clench his fists.
His name was taken by his deceased father, and he was a Jiahesheng at the county boundary, with one stem and nine ears, and he was called Xiu because of his name. Three months after birth, he reported to the ancestral temple of Chung Ling, so that the ancestors knew that they could not change it at will, even if it was only temporary.
If Liu Xiu's eldest brother Liu Bosheng was replaced, he would definitely scold, "It's too much to learn", brushed his sleeves away, and continued to ponder his plan to restore the Han Dynasty.
But Liu Xiu was different, his calmness could outweigh anger, and he finally let go of his hand and took the pen.
But when it was time to fall, I hesitated, what to write? Uncle Liu Wen? But in a bunch of one-word names, wouldn't it be too inconsistent.
The doctor's disciple urged: "Hurry up, if you don't want to, leave Taixue and go back to the front team to farm!" โ
Yes, farming, Liu Xiu likes to bury his head in the crops in his hometown, and driving the grain truck to the city to sell money is the fastest time for him. For this reason, he was ridiculed by Liu Bosheng, the eldest brother of the self-proclaimed hero, and compared Liu Xiu with Liu Zhong, the unsuccessful brother of Han Gaozu, saying that he was unproductive.
Or Liu Zhong? Liu Xiu laughed to herself.
But this doesn't work, because Liu Xiu's second half-brother is really called Liu Zhong, and he has a low status in the family, after all, he is a brother, and he is despising him by doing so.
Or, according to the ranking, Uncle Liu?
The doctor's disciple completely lost his patience and scolded: "Don't think about it, back then, Liu Jia, the Marquis of Lili, and the thirty-two people of the former Han clan all knew the Mandate of Heaven, or offered heavenly talismans, or paid tribute to Changyan, or arrested and rebelled, and made great contributions, so the Son of Heaven gave the surname Wang." He even changed his surname, what is it if you only change your name in the book? โ
Have your surnames changed? Have you forgotten who your ancestors were? What a humiliation.
Liu Xiu's family is also a relative of the Han family, and the bloodline can be traced back to Liu Fa, the son of Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty.
The Han Dynasty overturned, and Wang Mang quickly canceled the privileges of the clan surnamed Liu, and his family's interests were naturally damaged, and it was inevitable that there would be some resentment in his heart.
Now I heard that this little disciple of the doctor is so aggressive, he has always lived an honest life, and his biggest ideal is to be the ruling Jinwu to marry Yin Lihua, and Liu Xiu, who has never been rebellious, suddenly remembered the great ambition that his brother had said.
The elder brother called Wang Mang a "usurper and rebel" at home, and he was often indignant, thinking about recovering the Han family's social affairs, not doing anything about the family industry, and making friends with the world's heroes. For this reason, he was complained by his uncle Liu Liang, thinking that he would cause trouble sooner or later.
"Perhaps, brother is right."
Liu Xiu shook his pen and wrote his pseudonym in Taixue on the thin book.
"Liu Jiao!"
Liu Xiu only thought that if his brother really followed Gao Zu's example, he would not be the "Liu Zhong" who buried himself in the land.
"I am willing to be the 'Chu Yuan King Liu Jiao' in this world, if there is a change in the world, I will use the knowledge I have learned in Chang'an Taixue to assist my brother in doing a career!"
