Chapter 447 Simplified Chinese
Liu Xin's gift is naturally very in line with Yang Ci's mind, after all, for Yang Ci, a scribe, the pen is naturally very interested in such a novel stationery, and Liu Xin also simply showed Yang Ci how to use the pen, as well as the effect of pen molding. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
I have to say that although Liu Xin followed his grandfather to practice calligraphy for a few years when he was a child, he also has a certain foundation, but Liu Xin feels that he really writes better with a pen, after all, Liu Xin does not often use brush words, but after coming to this world, Liu Xin has to use brush words all the time, and Liu Xin must be very serious every time he writes, not because Liu Xin wants to write well with brush words, but because he must pay careful attention not to write simplified characters. . .
After all, there is no simplified Chinese character in the Han Dynasty, and now the common font is mainly Lishu, of course, there are some scribes who will use the popular small seal in the early Han Dynasty, these fonts and Liu Xin's practical simplified characters are still very large, and even some individual simplified characters are far from Lishu or small seals, if it were not for Liu Xin around Su Jia, the universal assistant, Liu Xin may suffer a big loss in this aspect of fonts.
As for the promotion of simplified characters, Liu Xin just thought about it and felt unreliable, you must know that Liu Xin had heard that at the beginning of the establishment of simplified characters, he was criticized by many people in the literary circles for "forgetting his ancestors", and that was what happened in modern times, on the basis of the people's relatively civilized foundation, they would suffer from all kinds of resistance, and the so-called scholars who bent on this also took advantage of this.
And now those scribes of the Han Dynasty, but they are very concerned about the "legitimacy" of the text, after all, the unified text is the façade of an empire, which cannot be easily changed, and the small seal is developed into the official book of the Han Dynasty through hundreds of years of "peaceful evolution", Liu Xin feels that if he wants to implement simplified characters, I am afraid that he must at least wait until Liu Xin becomes the emperor of the Han Dynasty, and get the support of a scribe power leader like Yang Ci, otherwise if you want to change the font, I am afraid it will cause a lot of trouble.
Of course, Liu Xin feels that the matter of changing the font is not in a hurry, after all, the literacy rate of the Han is simply a little touching, almost more than eighty percent of the Han people are completely illiterate, and one percent of the Han people can only be regarded as semi-literate, only the last members of the family are the people who control the culture, so Liu Xin feels that even if he can implement simplified Chinese now, the effect is very limited, after all, the members of these literate families, Have been accustomed to the small seal or the way of writing the official book,Unless the members of these families are forced to learn and use simplified characters,Basically the promotion of simplified characters is not possible。。。
So,Liu Xin also gave up the idea of promoting simplified characters,Fortunately, Liu Xin's memory is still very good,Basically I have memorized the way of writing Lishu,But maybe it's because of muscle memory,If Liu Xin writes too fast,There is a chance that more than eighty percent will be written when ten words are written,There will be more than five simplified characters。。。
All in all, now Liu Xin can not write in person, and all of them are pushed to Su Jia to be responsible, after all, Liu Xin found out for the first time that writing a word is so laborious...
However, this time, when Liu Xin used the pen to show Yang Ci the effect of the pen, it was inevitable that a few simplified Chinese characters appeared, as the leader of the scribe power, Yang Ci's skills in writing were naturally unquestionable, so although Yang Ci was a little strange, he still guessed and roughly recognized the prototype of these simplified characters, but these simplified characters also aroused Yang Ci's curiosity.
So, Yang Ci pointed to these simplified characters, and couldn't help but ask with some doubts: "Lord Wang, may I ask what font you write here, why has the little old man never seen it?" ”
Liu Xin smiled a little embarrassedly, and could only make up a reason improvised and said: "Uh, how can I say this, this is a font improved by the master of this king, but it is not so much an improved font as a simplified font, so the master of this king called this kind of character simplified, and when the master of this king taught this king, he used this kind of simplified character at the beginning, and then taught this king small seal and official book, so this king basically used simplified characters when he was in the Western Regions, Now back to the Han Dynasty, although I intend to control my own writing of Lishu, but sometimes I will habitually use simplified characters, but to be honest, if simplified characters are only about convenience, they are much more convenient to write than small seals and official books, and the writing speed is at least twice as fast. ”
The reason why Liu Xin said this is actually to test Yang Ci's acceptance of simplified characters, after all, although Liu Xin does not plan to promote simplified characters now, this does not mean that Liu Xin will not promote simplified characters in the future, so in the plan that Liu Xin has prepared, when Liu Xin ascends the throne of the Han Emperor, he will run official schools throughout the Han Dynasty and implement three-year compulsory education (here Liu Xin has always wanted to complain about some historical novels at a certain point, and he will engage in nine-year compulsory education as soon as he comes up, Although it seems to be great, but this completely ignores the limitations of the times, what knowledge can you teach in nine years of compulsory education? After all, the foundation of the Han Dynasty is so thin, and compulsory education can only teach some knowledge of writing and arithmetic, it is good to be able to study for three years, it is impossible to ascend to the sky in one step, and it is expected that the children of the Han Dynasty will directly learn knowledge such as physics, chemistry, English and so on like modern children, so the meal should be eaten little by little, Liu Xin and Su Jia After preliminary discussions, the time of compulsory education was temporarily set at three years, after all, three years is more than enough, and the time of compulsory education will be extended little by little in the future) At that time, Liu Xin will include simplified Chinese characters in the compulsory subjects of compulsory education, even if those stubborn old scholars think that simplified Chinese characters are not "orthodox", but they can't stand the large number of people who use simplified Chinese characters.
And Yang Ci's attitude towards simplified Chinese characters may be because the inventor of this simplified Chinese character is also Liu Xin's master Zhou Gong, and Liu Xin also admires this kind of simplified Chinese characters very much, so Yang Ci's attitude towards this simplified Chinese character is a little ambiguous, Liu Xin can hear it from Yang Ci's words,
Yang Ci said, "Well, this simplified character is indeed compared with the official book that Xiao Lao'er I am used to, the strokes are much less, if it is said that it is to use this simplified character on the basis of hurry, it is indeed a lot more convenient, but this kind of simplified character always gives Xiao Lao'er I a feeling of missing arms and legs, some are not very beautiful, and because this simplified character is also a very novel font in Dahan, people who know the writing method of this simplified character, I am afraid that you are alone, So if you use this kind of simplified Chinese characters, I'm afraid that there will be some errors when communicating with others... ”
Liu Xin smiled and nodded, and only said one sentence in his heart, "Sure enough", although Yang Ci complimented Liu Xin's simplified Chinese characters for one or two sentences, but more euphemistically said that this kind of simplified Chinese characters would not work in the Han Dynasty, after all, Liu Xin was the only one who used this kind of simplified Chinese characters.
However, Liu Xin didn't intend to persuade Yang Ci to agree with this kind of simplified Chinese characters today, so Liu Xin smiled and casually found a topic to expose the matter, and Yang Ci also understood that Liu Xin was unintentional, and he also followed Liu Xin's words very well.
And Yang Biao, who was silent on the side, almost became a transparent person, was very interested in this kind of simplified Chinese characters, after all, Yang Biao, as the son of Yang Ci, the leader of the scribe forces, was deeply influenced by his father Yang Ci since he was a child, basically when Yang Biao was able to hold the pen with his hand, Yang Biao remembered that his father had begun to teach his own handwriting, and as a scholarly Yang family, he naturally would not only learn the popular official book, So Yang Biao basically studied all the fonts in the history of Huaxia, which even contained some inherited oracle bone inscriptions, of course, because the lack of these oracle bone inscriptions was very serious, so Yang Ci just let Yang Biao know these oracle bone inscriptions.
But even so, Yang Biao also felt that he was driven crazy by the homework of "practicing words", Yang Biao vaguely remembered that he had a period of time when he was a child, every day from morning to night, in addition to eating and resting, basically all the time was spent on the homework of "practicing words", and he was required by his father Yang Ci to complete it "according to quality and quantity", if Yang Biao could not meet the requirements of his father Yang Ci in the homework of "practicing words", then he would be punished for not being able to eat and not rest...
Although the reason why Yang Biao can write a good hand, whether it is a small seal or a lishu, is because Yang Biao worked so hard to "practice words" when he was a child, Yang Biao still thinks that the time of "practicing words" will make him unforgettable, or he hates this time very much, after all, whether it is a lishu or a small seal, almost every word is so complicated.
And now when Yang Biao saw this kind of simplified Chinese written by Liu Xin, he immediately thought that if he used this kind of simplified Chinese characters to "practice words" when he was young, then he could at least complete the homework of "practicing words" every day in twice as long time, as for the remaining half of the time, Yang Biao felt that he could also take a good rest, and his hands would not have to write every day. . . Because Yang Biao had heavy "practice" homework every day back then, his right hand was basically very sore, almost to the point where he couldn't hold a pen, so Yang Biao forcibly learned to write with his left hand...
Thinking of Yang Biao here, if it weren't for the fact that his father Yang Ci was still present, I am afraid that Yang Biao would first sigh, and then ask Liu Xin to give him this way of writing simplified characters, and then Yang Biao would teach this kind of simplified characters to his son, so that his son would use this simplified characters to complete the homework of "practicing characters".
To tell the truth, the family rules of the Hongnong Yang family are indeed a little strange compared to other families, and the most interesting point is that the father decides the learning style and number of his sons, rather than like other families, the head of the family can almost decide the learning methods and academic numbers of all family members, so as a grandfather, Yang Ci will not interfere with Yang Biao's son's learning style, and Yang Ci once told Yang Biao that the reason why the Hongnong Yang family has such a family rule, That's because the head of the family who set this family rule thinks that the father's education is best taken care of by the father, so as to achieve the best results, after all, the father is the one who knows his son's situation best.
Therefore, although Yang Biao also asked his son to "practice words", Yang Biao appropriately reduced his son's "practice" homework, after all, Yang Biao felt that his son was very smart and should not spend too much time on "practicing words", but there is a sentence that Yang Biao also recognizes very much, that is, "words are like their people", and a good word can always give people a good sensory experience, so Yang Biao did not directly exempt his son from his "practice" homework, so Yang Biao's son is among the children of the family at the same age, but he was greatly envied, after all, when the children of other families were still tortured to death because of "practicing calligraphy", Yang Biao's son could play freely, so how could Yang Biao's son not be envied? (The author's personal experience, when he was a child, he practiced calligraphy and practiced immortals to death)
At this moment, Yang Biao inadvertently looked back and found a figure appearing at the door, this figure was his son.
If Yang Biao hadn't been born earlier than Cao Cao, Yang Biao might have thought of such a sentence by now - say Cao Cao, Cao Cao will arrive...
At this time, Yang Ci naturally saw his grandson standing outside the door, thinking that now he and Liu Xin had finished discussing the matter, and now they were chatting, so why not introduce their grandson to Liu Xin, after all, this grandson of his has been smart since he was a child, whether it is in the Four Books and Five Classics, or the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, his grandson is proficient in everything, so Yang Ci among his many grandsons, the favorite is this grandson named Yang Xiu!
That's right, the young man who looks fifteen or sixteen years old standing outside the door now is Yang Ci's grandson, Yang Biao's son - Yang Xiu!
At this time, Liu Xin also noticed Yang Xiu, after all, at this time, Yang Ci and Yang Biao both paid attention to Yang Xiu outside the door, so Liu Xin also followed Yang Ci's gaze and saw Yang Xiu.
Liu Xin looked at the young man outside the door, and couldn't help but sigh that the bloodline of the Hongnong Yang family is good, this young man is also handsome, with a good figure, and he will be a handsome son in time, and it can be seen from his eyes that this young man is extremely confident, Liu Xin can't help but have a good impression of this young man.
