Chapter 309: A Thousand Words

"So what? You just give up the little prince, don't you try? Xin Yao thought about it and said a little depressedly.

"Alas, the adult world is such that dreams always lose to reality." Xin Kun smiled, sometimes looking at Guo Peng, she wanted to try, what is love like? But in the end, she was timid. Sometimes she believes that people say that love is most beautiful in dreams. Maybe it's a good idea to live in Guo Peng's dream.

Xin Yao frowned, she is different from Xin Kun's old antique, she is a new and new human, she has always said that I want it, I have to. Even if it's a tragedy in the end, I'm going to try it first.

Accompanied by Xin Kun to make the rules of the dictionary, Zhu Long came with Cai Guan in the afternoon. Cai Guan discussed with his grandfather for a long time on the first day, they are all political strongmen, and they can all feel the importance of this dictionary, Cai Ge Lao felt that the Cai family had been silent for too long, and after determining that Xin Kun would not compete with the Cai family, he told Cai Guan this morning to let them make a statement first. So it was okay in the afternoon, so Cai Guan decided to talk to Xin Kun again. And Zhu Long is called by him, which is also his reciprocation.

Xin Kun is actually not good at receiving credit, and her identity is better to slowly fall silent now. Otherwise, she went to tell Scholar Ji herself that she was going to get a dictionary out. Scholar Ji should be very moved, and he will feel that this is what Champion Yuan Lang should do. So it's not that she doesn't have a way, but she's really too lazy to figure it out herself.

Of course, he thought about it yesterday, and he deeply felt that this person must have malicious intentions towards him. So with her brother-in-law, he made up his mind anyway, and let Zhu Longding have something to do to see if Xin Kun would even frame his brother-in-law.

Xin Kun didn't bother to take care of his little thoughts, and hurriedly befriended Cai Guan with the things he and Xin Yao had made.

"Yao'er, you're so smart!" Zhu Long understood, and was busy admiring his future wife.

"Where, it was my eldest brother who taught me pinyin, I'll just do me a little favor." Xin Yao is not stupid, there are some things that can't be said if they are rotten in the stomach, especially Cai Guan, who is too smart on the side.

"Well done with this directory of yours, how many words." Cai Guan took a look and found that they had already made a catalog.

"Nine hundred and ninety-nine words, this is a thousand-character text, and there is only one repetition and clean word." Xin Kun gave him a piece of paper by the way, and she saw the rules made up by Xin Yao during the day, and thought that the easiest thing was to just get some words on it, and then put it under the entry by category.

The simplest is the three-character classic, the thousand-character text and the like. However, neither the Three Character Scripture nor the Thousand Character Text were pre-Han Dynasty, and the people at this time Mengxue had their own similar things, but Xin Kun didn't, she could only write the "Thousand Character Text" silently first, and then Xin Yao would classify it.

In this way, when Cai Guan and the others came, there were exactly 999 words filled in the dictionary catalog. This "Thousand Character Text" was written by Zhou Xingsi, a scholar during the Northern and Southern Dynasties. And he found a thousand words from Wang Xizhi's notebook, and it is estimated that Emperor Wu of Liang, who made him do this, is a fan of Wang Xizhi, otherwise he can't do this. But later generations also felt that this was a great thing, basically, the ancients also felt that as long as they knew these 999 words, it was estimated that they would be literate.

And this "Thousand Character Essay" belongs to a four-character rhyme, and people are not writing it in vain, they talk about the truth of heaven and earth and humanities, which is not something that ordinary people can write.

Xin Kunmo finished writing, and he was moved, the allusions in it are in "Three Kingdoms" at the latest, and it just so happens that this era is included. After the silence, Xin Yao also admired her, because she didn't know many words, and it was still the sound given by Xin Kun.

"Oh my God, this ...... This ......" Zhu Long finished reading, really dumbfounded, this is too good, "Big brother, when did you write this?" ”

"Just now, in order to let me classify, my brother couldn't think of anything else for a while, so he wrote it easily, a thousand words, the words are different, this can make a simple dictionary, which can be sold to beginners. Learning these 1,000 words, even if you can't be regarded as a reader, it's enough! Xin Yao immediately helped Xin Kun and said.

"Don't listen to her, I didn't write it. This is compiled by an ancient scholar named Zhou Xingsi, and I just know how to memorize it. You know how bad I am at writing poetry, this kind of rhyme, I can't write it even if I kill it. Xin Kun immediately waved his hand, took a piece of jade paper, carefully wrote the three words of the thousand-character text, and signed the words 'Zhou Xingsi' in the lower left corner.

"What else would you carry?" Cai Guan glared at Xin Kun.

"Who knows, when it is useful, will know what he has read over the years." Xin Kun smiled, clamped the manuscript with a wooden clip, and took the thread of the quilt to bind the book himself. Because this is a study, and at this time, the literati also have their own elegance in repairing ancient books, and when Uncle Li arranged the study for Xin Kun, he also prepared a set for her. She thought it was fun, but she followed along, and this was difficult for her.

"If you make a small dictionary of 1,000 words first, you won't need too many people." Cai Guan didn't ask, when Xin Kun read her favorite water tune song head, he knew that Xin Kun came from a place where literati gathered. So she can recite anything, and he doesn't think there's anything wrong with it. Now he thinks Xin Yao's suggestion is very good, there is already a catalog, and what he has to do now is to find someone to write out the meaning of these thousand words. Yes, it's 9,999 words, in this case, it's not really hard to work.

"If I were you, I wouldn't let those people be idle. Three hundred words, first practice with this thousand-word gadget. If you are familiar with it, you will be able to compile a big dictionary of 3,000 words, and later, you will be able to make a dictionary of 5,000 words. Someone there counted that there are more than 95,000 Chinese characters. But the commonly used ones are about 1,000 words. In other words, if you generally know 2,000 words, it is enough. A dictionary of about 3,000 words of commonly used Chinese characters is compiled for practical use. But if there is a group of people who can summarize all the Chinese characters, without printing more, and printing a set in a safe place, this person in a thousand years will be grateful that we have such an achievement. ”

"yes, yes, teacher, let's do it!" Zhu Long was moved, 95,000 words, there were 95,000 words. What he was actually thinking about just now was, how many words did he know?

From ancient times to the present, only Xu Shen's "Shuowen Jie Zi" of the Eastern Han Dynasty is next to it, but "Shuowen" is only a book that talks about fonts and the origin of words. The book contains more than 9,000 words and more than 500 radicals. Just looking at the way they make up, it's pretty much the same, but it's relatively simple and easier to master. He knew very well that even just annotating the 9,500 words in the Shuowen was a great achievement.
