Chapter 147: Harmony and Harmony
Shangguan Hong said, "No wonder He Jing is in a hurry to suggest coming to my Orange Tower, how did you know that there are books in the Orange Tower?" ”
And Jereth answered him, for she had seen the books of gold come into thy tower. ≥ such a ghost girl, no one can try to deceive her.
People slowly walked inside, and the next material of the book changed to soft silk, then paper. And the number of paper books has increased significantly.
He Jing smiled, "The material of books has become popular. The number of books has also increased a lot. ”
Yelu Zhousheng said, "Yes, the dissemination of knowledge is more convenient,"
Yelu Zhousheng said as he walked, "I still know what the surname of Hou Yi's descendants is." ”
Everyone asked. Yelu Zhousheng said that his surname was Zhang. He said that the left side of the word "Zhang" is a "bow", which is written more elongated, it is a bow, and the word "long" on the right has gone to the lower hook, so a vertical one becomes a bowstring, and the remaining three strokes are an arrow on the bowstring, and the two oblique strokes are the feathers of the arrow's tail.
Watson said, "What about me? I! ”
Yelu Zhousheng said, "Of course, you also have a saying, this Chinese character, originally written 'Hua', we see that this character from beginning to end without a stroke is oblique, the whole character is upright, although the bottom is only a vertical support, but no one said that it feels unstable." ”
This vertical is like the only pillar that supports the beams of the house, and it is also like the backbone of a person.
He said that the shape of this word is like the Huabiao in front of the ancient emperor's palace, and the Huabiao is a wooden pillar when the emperor received advice in ancient times, and the ministers have any suggestions and opinions written on the paper to this Huabiao, so Brother Watson, your ancestors may be the first official in the history of the Chinese people since the Huabiao.
Watson proudly said that that is, those who are counselors are straightforward.
However, there is another saying for this Chinese character, which refers to literary talent. "This is not contradictory, if an official only knows how to go straight and does not use literary style, I am afraid that the emperor will already be angry."
"In ancient times, wood was called Hua, grass was proud, and Hua still referred to flowering. In the "Book of Rites - Moon Order", it is said, "The month of spring, the beginning of the paulownia", it is said that the paulownia wood blooms in the third month of spring, then your ancestor may also be a gardener. ”
Sister Shangguan said, it's better to be a gardener, so as not to worry all day long.
On the bookshelf not far away, people saw two books, which seemed to be placed there very solemnly. A large space has been deliberately given up next to them, and no other books have been placed.
The people went up and looked at the title of the book on it, and it turned out that there were two names on it, one was "Republic" and the other was "United People."
Yelu Zhousheng said, "I remembered that these were two of the most important forms of state organization in human society in ancient times, and they were placed here not because of how elaborate their bindings were, but because their content was important." ”
"Tell me about it."
Yelu Zhousheng said, how can I have such a high level of learning? Besides, there were constraints at that time, and people would inevitably have their own reasons for which form they chose, how dare I, who knew half a little, talk nonsense?
He thought for a moment and said, "But I can literally talk nonsense." ”
And they all tried their best to encourage him to continue.
Yelu Zhousheng said, "He", the word "he" is grain, and the mouth is the population. There is a he, there is a mouth, and the world is flat. The most important idea expressed in this word is a broad truth: in order for people to live, it is important to have people and the material basis necessary for their survival.
"Beat time?" He Jing asked.
Yelu Zhousheng praised her twice, and then said "He". He said that the word "he" emphasizes one person and one mouth. It is concerned with whether a person is a human being, and a person is still a human being, and the material materials necessary for survival are not included in it.
"Without material materials, how can man overcome time?"
"But it's a big mouth, everything is its, so just from the literal understanding of these two words, the word 'he' is more scientific than the word 'he', and it is closer to the ultimate goal of mankind to defeat time."
"The emphasis is on the survival of the individual, so it is based on private ownership, and it is the method. He emphasizes the survival of the whole world, so the concept it expresses is just the opposite of He. It's the direction. ”
"From the point of view of their effects, 'harmony' is the most important thing for human beings to accumulate knowledge and overcome time, and only 'harmony' will make people happy, live longer, and not quarrel, and will not fall into each other or even destroy each other. We all already know that most of the advanced scientific knowledge that mankind has mastered for a long time has been destroyed by wars and natural disasters, and war is the main culprit, and its destructive power is several times stronger than that of natural disasters. ”
"It is not surprising that the two world wars in the ancient period of mankind were all fought for resources, and only focused on one's own one. The Chinese emphasize 'peace', so which of the two wars was provoked by the Chinese? ”
However, although the two words have different meanings, they will also intersect in some aspects. For example, although the ligature is based on selfishness, it does not prevent those who believe in it from holding together and ganging up to achieve the goal for the purpose of greater possession. Sometimes there is a lot of disagreement, and even the wrong one is right. This is not surprising, since their goal is possession. ”
"And the word harmony, at some point, the mouth will become very large, swallowing the grass that most people rely on for survival, then the effect of 'harmony' will not be achieved. The change of many feudal dynasties in the ancient period of the Chinese nationality is all due to this reason. Moreover, because the concept of 'harmony' has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, it has almost become a truth that even ordinary people know - people take food as the sky. When the people had no food, the sky fell. ”
"He, the emphasis is on your own share. And, the emphasis is on the universal human needs. Yelu Zhousheng saw that He Jing was gesturing the word "and" in the palm of his hand, which was her surname.
He reminded, "When you write the word 'and', you must be serious about the spoken word, you can't swallow dates, the oral word is three strokes, you can't write it down in one stroke, you can't turn the population into a worm." Otherwise, if you write it, you will be the rival of the word 'and'. ”
He Jing really tried to write out that word in one stroke, it was another word. She stuck out her tongue.
"Chinese characters are really very subtle, and they are by no means comparable to those 26 letters."
Yelu Zhousheng said, let's not slander anything at will, these 26 letters have also created a civilization. However, purely from the scientific point of view of the characters, they cannot be compared with Chinese characters.
