488. Expected controversy

Mu Feng looked at these data, slowly widened his eyes, and subconsciously opened his mouth wide.

It's a resource consumption that I've never seen before.

Such an exaggerated ratio of resources to time is also the first time I have encountered it.

It is a few tens of minutes, with thousands of resource consumption, and there were only fifteen or sixteen in the past.

But fifteen and sixteen are all nuclear-powered, both require additional cores, and the resource consumption is 2048.

This doesn't need extra cores, and the numbers are normal, indicating that it should be a ship with regular power.

But which conventional power ship requires such a high resource consumption?

This is only a little lower than the original consumption of Liaoning.

Mu Feng couldn't think of what it would be for a while, so he could only wait anxiously.

Mu Feng took a turn in the construction, and went out to prepare for something early to divert his attention, but as soon as he went out, he received a message from Shenzhen:

"Commander, something is wrong on our side, in the past few days, many local teachers, scholars, scholars, and squires have gathered to petition the local government.

"We are asked to stop the standardized Chinese characters that we are promoting and teaching, and they have to call them variant characters, some of them have to call them remnant characters, and some of them have to call them wrong fonts."

Mu Feng was stunned for a moment, and immediately reacted.

In fact, I had expected this for a long time, and the list of standardized Chinese characters that I took out was actually simplified, which would definitely cause controversy.

Historically, there have always been two tendencies of simplification and multiplication, and the two tendencies have been constantly opposed.

Since the pre-Qin period, there has been a trend of simplification, simplifying the way of writing and reducing strokes, which can facilitate learning and daily use.

The small seal to the official script is the first and only large-scale simplification of Chinese characters in the classical era.

Flourishing coincided with the art of calligraphy, with literati deliberately adding strokes and structure to Chinese characters to make them appear more "harmonious".

This behavior has resulted in a large number of variant characters, such as the four ways of writing the anise character, which causes learning difficulties and increases the cost of learning.

The high-ranking literati of all dynasties have almost instinctively repeated this labor, and have been working hard to fight against the general trend of simplification.

Until modern times, after getting out of the control of the scholars, people no longer need to judge a person's ability by whether the handwriting is good-looking.

Chinese characters returned to the basic functions of dissemination, recording, and education, and achieved the second large-scale simplification.

Mu Feng feels that the promotion of standardized simplified Chinese characters is a text reform that can be compared with official scripts.

Mu Feng pondered for a while, in fact, he could imagine that those who resisted simplified Chinese characters were all old literati, and he really didn't want to deal with them in his heart:

"Most of those rotten people are brain-burning, we didn't deal with them, they themselves took the initiative to jump out, just drive them away, if they continue to make trouble, they will be sent to the factory to work."

Shenzhen was stunned for a moment, and then said with a little hesitation:

"Among them, there are many commanders who have already joined the headquarters, including Yan Zheng, the deputy commander of the Crescent Province, and I can see that they don't mean to cause trouble.

"They are all in a very distressed state now, and it seems that they are really thinking about the headquarters.

"Yan Zheng and the representatives of Su Ru and Doctor of Crescent Province have made a special flight to the capital Xincheng for this purpose, and want to petition you face-to-face, Commander, do you want to meet them?"

Mu Feng hesitated for a moment, connecting the field of vision of Shenzhen, and what came into his eye was a spacious modern reception room.

Guangdong and Shenzhen sat on one side, Guangdong looked serious, but from time to time stuffed things into his mouth.

Yan Zheng sat on the other side with a serious face, with a little embarrassed expression on his face.

An old man wearing a silk robe with a white beard stood next to Yan Zheng, holding a stack of printer paper in his hand, and made a heart-wrenching statement to Guangdong and Shenzhen:

"In the past, the imperial court was in decline, the admirals were divided, the books were different, the cars were not on tracks, and the weights and measures were not comprehensible.

"But now you are looking for and creating these incomplete, perverse bad words and typos, if they are promoted like this and spread through the ages, we will all leave a stench for thousands of years!"

Shenzhen introduced Mu Feng through spiritual communication, this old man's name is Cheng Xun, and he is a well-known erudite Confucian in the old imperial capital.

He is not an official, he specializes in running a school, he is highly respected, and his protégés are all over the world.

Not only did the imperial court have his disciples everywhere, but there were also many of his students in the Admiral's Mansion below, including many commanders.

Now, on behalf of the scholars in the imperial capital and the various governors' offices, he asked Yan Zheng to bring him over to petition for the cessation of the standardized Chinese characters that were being promoted.

After Mu Feng understood, he did not refute it directly, but asked Shenzhen to ask:

"Since Mr. Cheng Xun is a well-known erudite Confucian, then let me ask you something.

"How much of our standard Chinese character list already exists? How many of them are made out of thin air? How many of them are the original words that you can't read? ”

Cheng Xun thought that Shenzhen was suppressed by himself, and stroked his beard a little complacently:

This word list, the old man has studied word by word, and the most important part of it is to choose the simplest way to write among the ancient variants.

"There is also a part of the simple writing of line script and cursive script in calligraphy, which is transformed into italics.

There is also a large part of the radicals that use the simple variant characters produced in the previous two situations, and the words with radicals are also abbreviated, for example, all the horses and birds have changed the four points to one horizontal.

All of the above can be said to have existed in ancient times, accounting for eighty percent of the entire word list.

"The remaining part, and some of the non-standard simple writing that are now circulating among the people, have also been included in you, although this part is not ancient, but it is not a creation.

"There are very few fonts that are completely created, and there are almost no original characters that cannot be seen at all.

These simplified and created words, the country contains treasures, there are talents in the group, and they also speak of the past.

Overall, the old man admired the compiler of this list, who was extremely knowledgeable, and who studied the evolution of almost all fonts from ancient times to the present day.

"The old man also despised this compiler very much, and it was very unworthwhile to collect these mutilated fonts."

Mu Feng couldn't help but smile when he heard this, this table was not made by a certain person, and then asked:

Since most of these characters are ancient and easy to write, why can't we generalize them?

"Words are originally created, and without the ancients can make them, we can't make them.

"You also said that these creative ways of writing are quite reasonable, so why can't they be generalized?

Cheng Xun took a deep breath, arched his hand and said:

"It's good that there are ancients, but the vast majority of them are allogeneous and must not be mixed up.

The old man believes that the unified font of the headquarters is a good thing for the present and the future.

"But the old man's and the corporal of the world both believe that orthographic characters should be used, not variant characters!"

Mu Feng chuckled and asked:

"You said you want to be orthodox, then let me ask you, there are many ways to write a word, there is no right or wrong, who prescribes which one is orthodox and which one is different? Who has the final say? ”

Cheng Xun immediately said:

"The orthodox should be the government's designation of a list of characters to determine the norms and correct writing of each Chinese character.

"The Ministry of Rites of the Shuangyue Empire once published a dictionary that recorded most of the Chinese characters that appeared in the subset of the classics, and the old man had proofread it, and there were basically no fallacies, which could be used as a model for promotion."

Mu Feng said a little helplessly:

"The Twin Moon Empire is gone, and now we are the official government, and the standard Chinese characters we promote now are the norms and correct writing methods that we have determined.

"This is the orthodox in the future, it's just that it's not called the orthographic character, the orthographic character is just a name, you can't be called Uncle Wang, you just think you're the prince, right?"
