Chapter 313 Simplification of Chinese Characters
Wang Feng basically returned by the same route, leaving Hefei on 5 May, crossing the river from Haimen on 12 May, and returning to Suzhou on the afternoon of 15 May.
In the provincial government, Hong Xuanjiao was not there, Wang Feng inquired left and right, and learned that he was busy reorganizing the new army, the current Democratic Alliance Army, the fourth army is the backbone of the old department of the Tiandihui headed by Su Sanniang, with the tenant farmers in northern Jiangsu and the local green battalion training as the main body, and the personnel allocation is relatively complete.
And Lin Fengxiang and Li Kaifang's Fifth and Sixth Armies, in addition to their respective 2,000 Taiping Army, even if Wang Feng gave them all the displaced people and small gang members forcibly recruited along the way, plus a small number of tenant farmers in northern Jiangsu, there are only about 5,000 people, and there is a shortage of Yan zhòng, which is also no way, the uprising of the Qing army's green battalion regimental training cannot be made up, although both sides expressed their willingness to let go of hatred, and it is not tense on the surface, but there is still a deep estrangement, which can be gradually resolved in a long-term side by side.
What Hong Xuanjiao's novel WwWAqulEDUACOM needs to do is not only to leave a certain amount of manpower for Jiang Chaohui's Seventh Army, but also to try to fill the gap in the 123rd Army, except for the First Army, which is all stationed in the suburbs of Suzhou, a considerable part of the rest of the 2nd and 3rd Armies are stationed in Songjiang, Taicang and Changzhou, which makes the reorganization work cumbersome and fragmented.
As far as the current situation is concerned, although the Democratic Alliance Army has seven armies, there are only four integrated armies, and the fifth, sixth, and seventh armies each have only a few thousand people, and they cannot form combat effectiveness.
You know, the militia doesn't have to be paid, while the regular army does. Today, the total strength of the NLD forces has exceeded 100,000, and the number has been increased. Military spending will be a heavy burden, and the personnel problem for the 5th, 6th, and 7th armies can only be gradually solved after further economic development or the occupation of larger and more affluent territory.
Wang Feng was not in a hurry to go home. Instead, I looked through the government work files of the past few months, and some of the characters had dozens of strokes, and it was really difficult to see the order of the strokes if I didn't distinguish them carefully.
Wang Feng frowned, in his previous life, as an agent, Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan were also the main scope of activities, and he had specialized in learning traditional Chinese characters, and he was still like this. Not to mention ordinary people, he felt that the simplification of Chinese characters had to be put on the agenda.
"Wang Feng!" At this time, Sheng Xuanhuai ran into the house with Sheng Xuanmei, and without greeting him, he shouted very dissatisfiedly: "I strongly make a request to you, you must bring a camera to march and fight in the future!" ”
"What are you doing with a camera?" Wang Feng put down the file and said puzzledly: "Sheng Xuanhuai, you think it's tourism." It takes half an hour to set up a cannon wire, who is full and stays motionless? ”
In the past, Wang Feng didn't understand why people in the Qing Dynasty didn't smile when they took pictures, and their faces were heavy and stiff, especially the old photos of Cixi. It's hard to believe that this is the legendary head like a flower, even if she is over the age of six, she is still the first beauty in Manchuria with smooth skin comparable to a girl!
And the phenomenon of zombie photos is not only among Chinese, but also among foreigners. But after seeing the cameras of this era, he understood. With an exposure time of half an hour, it is never easy to be photographed. It's impossible to laugh for half an hour, and it's difficult to keep an action the same for half an hour.
Sheng Xuanmei took it and said: "Commander Wang, it's not for you to take pictures, we all know that you don't like to take pictures, and we hate it too, but to take pictures of prisoners, haven't you captured Seng Lingqin and Mianyu?" If you bring a camera and take it and print it in a newspaper, how much of a sensation will it cause? You also blew up Beijing's Yongding Gate, you should take a few photos for us to see, alas, you are a good person, you are a good hand at fighting and killing, but you are not careful enough! ”
Sheng Xuanmei is only fourteen years old, because of her feet, she can't wear dresses and sandals, she is still a standard dress for girls in the Qing Dynasty, and her whole body is filled with a unique spirit of a water town woman, at this time, she forcibly put on an old-fashioned appearance, looked at Wang Feng from time to time, shook her head and sighed.
Wang Feng couldn't cry or laugh, hooked his hand and said: "Sheng Xuanmei, your opinion is very right, when your foot is healed, come over and be a female reporter for me to accompany the army, and take pictures for you, how about it?" ”
Being photographed is a kind of torment, and taking pictures of people is also a challenge, you need to drill your head into the black cloth for half an hour to manually control the exposure, as soon as she thought of this, Sheng Xuanmei shuddered, and shook her head busily: "Don't do it, I am learning genetics with Xuanhuai, and I have already started the improvement of red peony and white peony, my ultimate wish is to cultivate colored peony, this is an extremely difficult challenge, how can I have time to take pictures for you, you better ask for another master." ”
In fact, Wang Feng wanted to persuade Sheng Xuanmei that it was the right way to focus his research on wheat, rice, corn and other crops, but looking at Sheng Xuanmei's radiant face, he still swallowed the words into his stomach, and said helplessly: "Sheng Xuanmei, then I wish you all the best things come true, I will talk to you about something serious now, you write a few words for me first, and then write a turtle!" ”
After speaking, Wang Feng handed over the pen and paper, although the Sheng Xuanhuai sisters and brothers did not understand what they meant, they still wrote honestly one stroke at a time, six words, for five minutes, and the strokes were not clear.
Finally finished writing, Sheng Xuanmei put the pen aside and complained: "Oh my God, these words are really difficult to write, almost killed me, especially the turtle character, which is clearly drawing a living turtle, and it is a loss that we have been reading poetry and books since childhood. ”
Sheng Xuanhuai felt the same way, nodded and said, "Wang Feng, it won't be idle and boring for me and my sister to write these words, right?" ”
Wang Feng said in a positive tone: "You come from a family of scholars, you all feel difficult, let alone other people, so I want to simplify Chinese characters, I have preliminarily calculated the comprehensive social benefits produced by the simplification of Chinese characters, only in the next thirty years, 500 million Chinese, each person will save an average of five minutes in the process of learning and memorizing using Chinese characters every day, and each working and learning hour is worth an average of ten cents, then the comprehensive social and economic benefits in thirty years will be as high as 4.2 billion taels of silver, what an astonishing amount?" And this benefit will continue for generations to come, bringing great benefits and benefits to our children and grandchildren, what do you think? ”
"Simplifying Chinese characters?" Sheng Xuanhuai muttered: "The numbers you calculated are indeed quite scary, but simplification is not so easy, you must follow certain rules, otherwise it will become four different images, and it will make jokes, and the key is how to promote it after simplification?" Simplifying it, others don't want to use it, do you point a gun at it? ”
Sheng Xuanmei followed: "I think it is feasible to simplify Chinese characters, in the oracle bone inscription and the Jin inscription, the Chinese characters have been simplified, developed to the small seal, many characters have been simplified, to the official book and regular script, the simplified font is more, in the Han and Wei dynasties of the inscription and the Tang Dynasty scriptures, there are a lot of simplified characters, after the Song Dynasty, simplified characters from the inscription and handwriting to the engraving printing of books, thus expanding the scope of popularity, the number has also increased, which shows that the simplification of Chinese characters is a trend." For Commander Wang's mention, I raise my hands and feet in agreement! ”
"Oh?" Wang Feng looked at Sheng Xuanmei with incredible eyes, and said, "I really can't see it, you are such a little girl, Sheng Xuanmei, you surprise me too much." ”
Sheng Xuanmei snorted proudly: "What's wrong with the girl?" You are not allowed to look down on people, I dare not say that the Four Books and the Five Classics are like a stream, at least it is okay to write silently. ”
As soon as these words came out, Wang Feng's eyes were even more surprised, and Sheng Xuanmei had the urge to write a paragraph on the spot to open this person's eyes, but unfortunately, Wang Feng did not make such a request, but it took a long time to retract his gaze and mutter: "The ancient Chinese font is complex and difficult to master, it is for the exclusive use of upper-class scholars, and if you want to popularize mass education, you must simplify it."
Taking our science education as an example, if Chinese characters are not simplified, students will spend at least twice as much time learning Chinese characters, and simplified Chinese characters can save a lot of time to learn other aspects of knowledge due to the reduction of learning difficulty.
In fact, there must be resistance to simplifying Chinese characters, because the biggest beneficiaries of the implementation of simplified Chinese characters are children and working people, and the old-fashioned literati not only lose the right to control knowledge, but also pay the price of re-learning, however, this is an era of people's wisdom, the wheel of history is rolling forward unstoppable, anyone who vainly tries to use the mantis arm as a car, will be crushed into pieces, we don't have to be afraid of those jumping clowns, Sheng Xuanmei, do you have a good way to promote the simplification of Chinese characters? ”
A strong sense of mission arose, Sheng Xuanmei tilted her head and thought for a while before she said solemnly: "I think you should promote it in schools, the government and the army first, didn't you run a newspaper?" When the Chinese characters are simplified, the newspapers are all changed to simplified characters, and then it is stipulated that all books must be printed with simplified characters, so that within a few years, under your strong promotion, simplified characters will inevitably gradually replace traditional characters, such as from small seals to official books, which were forcibly promoted in the Han Dynasty to complete the evolution, and then for example, Qin Shi Huang's book with the same text, is not also a compulsory means? You should make the most of the power of government! ”
"Good! Just do as you say! Wang Feng gave a thumbs up.
Sheng Xuanmei was proud and shy, lowered her head, and after a while, she raised her head and said: "Since you mentioned the simplification of Chinese characters, I thought of another problem, that is, the order of writing, the pen characters you teach in the students are written horizontally from left to right, and there are punctuation marks, I think this is quite good, it looks comfortable, you don't have to bother to break sentences, you can also explain the formula theorem, you should also promote it." ”
"Good!" Wang Feng shouted again, staring at Sheng Xuanmei with scorching eyes without blinking, in the end, it was from a prodigy's family, in terms of talent, it was no worse than Sheng Xuanhuai! (To be continued......)
