Chapter 471: The Dispute Between Simplified and Traditional Chinese Characters

"Your Majesty, it's time to go to court. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeใ€‚ infoโ€

Li Longxuan and Alice got up early, Alice personally put on the imperial robe for Li Longxuan, although Li Longxuan has many women, but the most loved is this woman who follows him through thick and thin, even if there are more women in Li Longxuan in the future, Alice in Li Longxuan's heart can not be replaced.

But it's not surprising, Alice and Li Longxuan came together from the edge of life and death, together when they were poor, and together when they were rich.

It is in response to that sentence that we are all together, whether we are poor or rich.

The woman Li Longxuan likes should follow him step by step from poverty to wealth, and never give up, this kind of relationship is the real feeling, not waiting for me to be rich and noble before you come, although it will be cruel to say this, and it will hurt the hearts of other women, but this is the way it is.

"Empress, you will preside over the morning court in my place today, remember to ask them to write a charter today, prohibiting officials from taking prostitutes. Li Longxuan smiled slightly and said, "I still have some things to do this morning, and I think I may have to be busy with this matter all day." โ€

"Oh, then I will preside over the meeting today in place of His Majesty. Alice smiled and said, it was not once or twice to preside over the meeting instead of Li Longxuan, so Alice was also used to it.

After Alice left, Li Longxuan found a pile of white paper, charcoal sticks, and rulers, and then began to draw squares on the white paper.

Horizontally and vertically, many field-like squares appeared on plain white paper.

"A few of you come here, and each of you draws ten chapters according to the way I drew it in the early days. Li Longxuan said with a smile as he commanded the palace maids and eunuchs next to him.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

These palace maids and eunuchs hurriedly imitated the grid drawn by Li Longxuan, and drew the grid on it line by line, the more people there are, the more powerful they are, and soon dozens of tables appeared.

Li Longxuan happily took the form, and then began to write traditional characters on it, and then converted traditional characters into simplified characters, but after writing for a while, trouble came.

Li Longxuan found that he couldn't remember some traditional Chinese characters, and some simplified Chinese characters he couldn't remember.

Depressed, quite depressed, extremely depressed.

Could it be that Lao Tzu is really Jiang Langcai?

After thinking hard, after a full few hours, I finally held back dozens of traditional and simplified characters, and then I really didn't want to write anymore.

Li Longxuan was really sad in his heart, he was still known as a rich student, but he didn't expect to know less than a thousand words.

But Li Longxuan can't be blamed for this, because this word is thought one by one, and it can't be repeated, so naturally it can't be as skilled as writing an article, and it's already very good to be able to hold back so many words.

After the end of the early dynasty, Alice came to Li Longxuan quickly, and when she saw Li Longxuan writing these words, she couldn't help but be stunned.

"My dear, what do you think? This is a simplified Chinese character that I invented, which is much simpler than the strokes we are using now, and if the common people learn this simpler simplified Chinese character, they will be able to master it as soon as possible. Li Longxuan said a little proudly, as if he was a child who had discovered some fun toy.

"Simplified?"

"Yes. โ€

"Your Majesty, are you sure you invented it?" Alice looked at Li Longxuan with interest, and the smile on the corner of her mouth obviously didn't believe that it was invented by Li Longxuan.

"That is, you don't look at what a wonderful person your dear majesty is, let alone simplified characters, even I can invent Hanyu Pinyin. The smug look on Li Longxuan's face became even stronger.

"Oh, my dear majesty, I have seen this font in many books, simplified fonts, but this thing is not called simplified characters, but 'variants'. Alice said with a smile: "Some of them have begun to circulate among the people, and they are called 'vulgar characters'. โ€

"Huh?" Li Longxuan couldn't help but be taken aback, what? Simplified Chinese characters already exist in this era? What is this possibility? This is clearly the simplified Chinese characters that Lao Tzu brought from another world!

"Your Majesty, although you are rich and invincible in the world, but this is indeed a variant of the predecessors, many scripts and articles are available, but not many people know them, and I happened to read the palace collection recently, but I remember a lot. The smile on Alice's face became even stronger: "Dear Your Majesty, don't tell anyone that you invented this variant word, otherwise it will make a joke." โ€

"I ...... I...... I don't believe it. โ€

"Your Majesty, since you don't believe it, then I have to find evidence. Alice smiled faintly, then took out a book from the bookshelf behind her, opened it, and handed it to Li Longxuan: "Your Majesty, I happened to see a lot of fonts for my wife yesterday, do you see if this is the simplified Chinese character you wrote?"

Li Longxuan took the book and looked at it, and suddenly had an urge to scold his mother, it turned out that this simplified character was not invented after the founding of the People's Republic of China, but already existed in ancient times.

In fact, many people think that simplified Chinese characters are new Chinese characters only after the founding of New China, but in fact, simplified Chinese characters have appeared in ancient times and have been circulated, but at that time they were not called simplified characters, but called variant characters or vulgar characters.

And some fonts have spread among the people, called 'vulgar characters'.

Hey, Li Longxuan thought that he could make a master emperor of creative words, it turns out that these fonts have existed for a long time, yes, this is better.

"My dear, most of the current fonts have too many strokes, and the people can't remember them, I want to pick out the relatively few strokes of this number to form a dictionary, and then give these simplified vulgar characters to the people, what do you think. Li Longxuan asked with a smile.

When Alice heard this, her brows couldn't help frowning slightly and said, "It's true that the characters with fewer paintings are easier for the common people to remember, but if everyone only remembers this kind of variant characters, what about the characters with more strokes?"

"This is simple, of course, it is popular together, and finally let the people choose, which font seems to be more like the people, and the people will choose it themselves. Li Longxuan smiled slightly and said, "My dear, what do you think?"

"Well, this is a good way, this kind of thing can be gathered to discuss with the ministers, I think it's okay. Alice smiled and said, she also thought that Li Longxuan's method was feasible.
