Chapter 007: Touching in Learning from Each Other
Because yesterday the cave burned a small beast to death, this made Zhao Xing's master and apprentice no longer busy with today's food and could do other things.
"The reason why human beings have evolved and developed is fully embodied in this little beast. It is only through hunting, and the ability to hunt large animals, that we can free up time from the problem of eating, to do other things, to think, to create. And the reason why animals have not evolved is because they are so busy hunting all day long that they don't have time to think. Thinking, on the other hand, is the fundamental difference between humans and animals. While playing with a pile of mud, he continued to educate Zhao Yong.
To be a teacher, in fact, Zhao Xing is unqualified, he has no teaching materials, no lesson plans to prepare, and no experience and no system, purely thinking about where to say, anyway, he occupies the advantages accumulated by thousands of years, and everything he says can make people in this era have a deafening and sudden opening effect.
Zhao Yong squatted on the side and watched Zhao Xing tinkering with mud. "The teacher is right. Only when we eat the food that can last the longest in the shortest time can the monarch have more time to deal with government affairs, so that the secretaries and scholars can have more time to manage the people for the monarch, and the people can have more time to work, so that the national strength of a country can be enhanced, and finally it can dominate the world. ”
That's how the ass decides the head.
Zhao Xing wants to educate people, and this guy who should be a generation of heroes can get involved in politics in everything. In other words, Zhao Yong's thinking can be regarded as an occupational disease.
Then looking at the mud in Zhao Xing's hand, it slowly turned into something like a tripod but not like a tripod, and he was full of curiosity and asked: "Teacher, is this a tripod?" But why not? ”
Zhao Xing was proud of his work, so he turned from discussing the theory of evolution to pragmatism. "You can call this Ding, but I call him Stove." Then he used a branch to write a simplified word stove on the ground next to it.
Zhao Yong couldn't understand it.
Stoves have been in China for a long time, because the Chinese basically eat rice and grains, do not like pasta, cooked food is generally not easy to preserve, must be cooked at any time. Unlike Western edible bread, it can be baked many at once for preservation and consumption.
Therefore, for Chinese, "firewood" is the first important of the "seven things" in life (firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea), without fuel, even if there is basic food, there is no way to eat. In the West, it is enough to have only one bread stove in a village, but in China every family must have a stove.
"That's what I do about not going hunting, wasting time and thinking about the two of us." Then he pointed to his square thing, with a pot on top and a square table below, with a big mouth in front and a small mouth in the back, which is the shape of a stove.
"I found that the cooking utensils you usually use for cooking are tripods or three-legged bearings, which are quite firewood-intensive. Because it is a scattered fire, the utilization rate of fire is quite low. In this way, it takes a lot of firewood and effort to cook a meal. Spending firewood is equivalent to having a special person to cut firewood for a long time, which is not only not environmentally friendly, but also wastes people's time to think. Environmental protection? Ah, it's not about what we're talking about, don't care about the details. But what I'm doing now allows the fire to be fully absorbed and speed up cooking. What is full absorption? This one doesn't have much to do with the issue we're talking about now, don't care about the details. ”
Zhao Yong understood, so he pointed to this strange-looking guy and said, "You said that this is a stove, and this character is written like this-" So, next to the simplified Chinese word stove originally written by Zhao Xing, he wrote a Zhao Guo's stove character.
The script used by the Zhao State is a simplified form that evolved on the basis of the Great Seal of the Zhou Dynasty, which has local characteristics and a strong handwriting meaning. In fact, the Warring States princes at that time had their own unique scripts, collectively known as the "Seven Kingdoms Script", and the script of the Zhao State was actually the simplest and easiest to remember, closer to the small seal of later generations.
Zhao Xing tilted his head to look carefully, and tried to remember his complicated strokes. This is an excellent opportunity to learn contemporary writing and should not be missed. After all, their simplified characters are not recognized by the literati of various countries who are accustomed to oracle bone inscriptions, or by literati in various countries, so that they can finally recognize and accept their simplified characters, which is a huge project.
However, Zhao Xing found that the ancient Chinese characters actually had a familiar vein with the simplified characters of later generations, and it was this context that made him feel a sense of closeness and déjà vu in the face of this cumbersome font.
At this time, he suddenly felt like crying, because it was this feeling of déjà vu that made him still able to recognize this font two thousand years later, so that his future self and his current two thousand years old have a sense of integration that cannot be separated.
How lucky it is to continue to truly feel the thoughts of your ancestors for 2,000 years after 2,000 years, and which nation in the world has such luck? For those so-called public intellectuals who advocate the Latin culture of Chinese characters, Zhao Xing is ready to stand on the height of history and shout loudly at them: "Let go of your mother's stinky fart." Now I stand in the position of your absolute ancestor, ready to strangle your unworthy descendants. ”
Of course, after the moving crying and roaring foul mouth, it still feels like a generation gap of 2,000 years.
Since the mountains can't be for me, then I'll go to the mountains, which is the open-minded way to survive. Fortunately, in China, this kind of writing has not been broken, and many self-righteous calligraphers are still willing to write some of this ancient script to show their learning and cultivation. And the plaques of many stores also like to use this kind of text to highlight the heritage of their stores. As for how many customers are discouraged by the cold quirk of words, I don't know whether it is the toilet or the restaurant, and how much business is missing, they don't seem to think much about it.
Then he looked at the ugly things he had completed, and nodded with satisfaction: "This is done, I have a small, movable stove." When the time comes, I will calcine him with a fire to make him pottery, and then when we are on the road, we can carry it on our backs. We'll be able to eat hot meals on the long road ahead. When the time comes, a handful of wild vegetables can fill our stomachs. And saving time for hunting and gathering gives us more time to travel. ”
A so-called dashing donkey walk that is just a good way to commit suicide. If you want to be a qualified traveler and travel through the wilderness, you must be well prepared. Now, Zhao Xing is making this kind of preparation, he can't joke with the life of a future emperor and a future emperor.
That's not cost-effective, and it's reckless.
In this era, there were no rescue teams that were called up, not only that, but even within hundreds of miles around, there were not even people, and there were all kinds of wild beasts.
