Chapter 11: Animation Imagination

Then, Liu Hou asked people to bring two books. Now that Liu Hou holds two major factories of paper and printing, books have become an ordinary thing for him, and they can be seen everywhere in his backyard.

Liu Hou didn't care what the two books were, and asked the two painters to draw on the corners of the books. In fact, he has always lacked interest in those ancient documents, so whenever Jiang Wan gives him a lesson, he feels a headache.

He asked two artists to subdivide a person's movement into a dozen steps, and then draw these 10 steps in the corner of each page. Although the two painters did not know why, they still faithfully carried out Liu Hou's orders.

When the two painters finished painting, Liu Hou called them all over, pinched the corner of a book with two fingers, slowly relaxed, and the pages fell rapidly, so everyone saw that the little figure painted on the corner of the book came to life, as if making a coherent movement.

The two painters and Hua Tuo, who was still at the scene, had their eyes bigger than lanterns. They were stunned, this little boy, is it a god or a man, how can he make the person in the painting come to life?

This is just the basic principle of animation, the pages of the book are turned quickly, and the pictures and images come into the eyes, and because of the visual residue, people will feel that these movements are coherent.

This is also a game that Liu Hou would play when he was a child, and at that time, there was a lot of playing this kind of thing among his classmates, and many people had this kind of "animation" drawn on the corner of their textbooks.

"The two of you followed Doctor Hua and Zuo Xian Weng to draw each movement of the Five Birds Opera and Tai Chi in detail. To subdivide each action as much as possible, it's best to form an animation that can be connected into a coherent action like this.

In addition, ask the two masters to explain the mantra and the heart method in as much detail as possible, and the explanation of each action should also be detailed, and record it in the vernacular as much as possible. ”

Liu Hou also read some martial arts books in his later life, such as "Yijin Jing", "Baduan Jin" and so on. What annoys him the most is the illustrations in those books, which are very sketchy. Basically, each action is a picture, and it is completely unknown how the two movements change, how the hands and feet move, and how they swing.

How do you let people practice this? Therefore, it is often practiced according to the book to form several shapes on the illustrations step by step, and it is completely unknown how to coherence between each shape.

In addition, some of the mental methods and formulas are all classical Chinese or even song formulas, and it is difficult for ordinary people to understand their meaning.

What's more, some texts contain some "proper" nouns for a particular sect or school, and if you don't have a deep understanding of that sect or school, you don't know what these words mean.

For example:

Intention is true knowledge, and gnosis is also self-sufficient. The three of them are one family, and the body and mind are stable.

The empty room is full of light, and the sun is restored in the quiet. Pick and exercise diligently, and turn into purple gold cream.

The spiritual wisdom is born, and the sex is now dusty. The pearl of the night is bright and clean everywhere.

Noise turns into authenticity, and people's hearts change their hearts. If it weren't forged by divine fire, how would the gold be divided in the mine?

These Taoist cultivation mantras, what is "Purple Gold Frost", and what does "Night Pearl" represent? What "mine" what "gold". These are metaphors that are impossible for anyone who does not have a deep knowledge of the Taoist texts to understand.

Liu Hou is very annoyed by this, doing it like this, obviously he doesn't want people to understand. So what else is there to talk about promotion, and what is there to talk about universal popularization? Liu Hou compiled and printed these two books of exercises, with the aim of popularizing them among the whole people, and of course the more clearly written as possible, and the more simple and easy to understand, the better. Absolutely no incomprehensible metaphors are allowed.

Therefore, he specially instructed the two painters, in fact, they are also equivalent to part-time editors, and asked them to ask and understand the intentions of the two old immortals clearly.

The two painters received the errand, and at the same time got such a novel "animation" method, they were very happy, and the two went to work happily. Liu Hou continued to be his shopkeeper and continued to learn the five poultry operas with Hua Tuo.

While practicing, I thought, I'm bored to death these days, I haven't seen a movie for a long time, why don't you get some cartoons to watch? How do you want to realize the projection of the animation? Do you want to use the principle of the marquee?

After thinking about it, forget it, where is the production of cartoons so simple, not to mention having a good script, just painting so many pictures, that workload is astronomical.

With the production level of this era, it is estimated that these two artists may not be able to draw a half-hour cartoon in a year. Let's wait until they get this done. When the time comes, opening a movie theater dedicated to screening animation will give you one more way to make money, which is exciting to think about.

It's a pity that there are too few people who know how to draw. Originally, Liu Hou's action to attract talents this time also wanted to dig up a few more literati and resourceful people to come back. It's a pity that he was born too late, the Three Kingdoms era has come to the present, the pattern of the Three Kingdoms has basically been formed, and the famous characters are basically famous, and it is basically useless to win over the famous ministers of other countries.

Deng Ai, one of several famous figures in the late Three Kingdoms, is still a little kid of the same age as him, because he is not very familiar with his life, he doesn't know where he grew up, so he can't find it. Zhong Hui and Tian Xu are all children of the family, let alone trying to beat them, and Liu Hou has no good impression of these two.

Therefore, the number of readers recruited this time is indeed limited. Alas, is there any way to recruit as many capable people as possible? Liu Hou couldn't help but worry about the future of Shu.

The Yingchuan Academy has cultivated great talents such as Guo Jia, Xun Yu, Xun You, and Xi Zhicai, which can be called the Tsinghua University and Peking University of Wei.

Fortunately, his cheap dad is still smart, and when he ran past Shuijing Villa, he kidnapped Wolong and Phoenix Chicks. Originally, there was a Xu Shu, but unfortunately in the end, Cao Cao captured his mother and used his mother as a bargaining chip to force him down.

It can be seen how urgent the demand for talents in this year is, and even Cao Cao is so unscrupulous in order to obtain talents.

It's a pity that Mr. Shuijing Sima Hui has long passed away, and Pang Degong lives in seclusion in Lumen Mountain and is nowhere to be found, otherwise inviting these two people to come over and rebuild Shuijing Villa may not be lost to Yingchuan Academy.

However, in this year, the main source of talents is still the family, and only the family has enough resources to cultivate talents. The Wei and Wu families were numerous, which not only brought trouble to the rule of the two countries, but also continuously sent a large number of talents to the two countries.

On the other hand, the Shu State is still too small, the population is small, and the literary style is far less prosperous than Wei and Wu. There was a growing shortage of talents, so that later, there was an embarrassing scene of "there was no general in Shu, and Liao became a pioneer".

Countless ideas flashed through Liu Hou's head, one of which is, of course, to vigorously develop education, and if there are no talents, then cultivate talents by yourself. This is already underway. With the development of the paper and printing industry, Liu Hou has begun to print a large number of various books.

The next thing is to find an opportunity to suggest to Liu Bei to build more libraries and academies. Of course, these things involve various issues such as funds and teachers, and they cannot be achieved all at once. Cultivating talent is not something that can produce results in one or two years, and it must be considered in the long run.

Liu Hou's plan was to build a school to admit children from the homeless population to study for free. I believe that this initiative will be well received and will be praised by the world. While gaining fame, you can also harvest a large number of talents after a few years, which is a double thing.

Liu Hou's other idea was the imperial examination system. Cao Cao's "meritocracy order" has achieved remarkable results, and it has really collected a lot of talents. To confront him, Liu Hou has a more advanced weapon in his hands, which is the imperial examination system.

Although the imperial examination was repeatedly criticized in later generations, it is undeniable that this system was an epoch-making innovation at that time.

The Han Dynasty adopted the inspection system and the expropriation system, the former was recommended by local governments at all levels to have both ability and political integrity, and the latter was the central and local governments to recruit talents from the society. Those elected by the state are called Xiucai, and those elected by the county are called filial piety.

The probation system lacked objective selection criteria, and although there was a system of joint sitting, the phenomenon of favoritism by local officials and false recommendations gradually appeared in the later period. The expropriation system also has all kinds of drawbacks.

During the reign of Emperor Wen of Wei, Chen Qun established the Nine-Rank Zhongzheng System, which was divided into nine-grade recruitment by specific officials of the central government to assess civilian talents according to their background and morality. The Jiupin Zhongzheng system is an improvement of the probation system, mainly the power of probation is changed from local officials to officials appointed by the central government.

However, in this era, the power of the clan was strong, and it often affected the evaluation of talents by the central officials, and later even the criteria were limited to family backgrounds. As a result, the phenomenon of "no poor family in the upper grade and no scholar in the lower grade" has been created. not only blocked the people's talents, but also allowed the clan to control the court personnel and affect the emperor's power.

Compared with these methods of selecting talents, the imperial examination has incomparable advantages. It can promote talents from the people, break the hereditary phenomenon of aristocracy, and rectify the official system. Compared with the hereditary, recommendation and other material selection systems, the imperial examination is undoubtedly a fair, open and just method, which improves the employment system.

The imperial examination system has given the scholars of the poor family a way out, and in the long run, it can also weaken the power of the family, which is really a way to kill two birds with one stone.

Liu Hou was yy, imagining that he would soon be able to be like Li Shimin, Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, and issue "All the heroes of the world are in my place!" suddenly heard someone coming to report: "Miss Zhang and Miss Guan San are here." ”

"What Miss Zhang, Miss Zhang Si's?" When Liu Houchu heard it, he didn't react, he knew "Miss Zhang Si and the young marshal", but who was this "Miss Zhang", he didn't react for a while.

"It's the eldest daughter of the captured general." The servant explained, surprised that Liu Hou didn't know about Miss Zhang.

"Oh, the general of the conquest, ......" Liu Hou thought for a long time before remembering that this conscripted general was Zhang Fei, and Miss Zhang was his future wife Zhang Xingcai. Miss Guan San in the back doesn't have to think about it, she must be the daughter of Guan Erye.

"Uh...... What are they doing here? "Where does Liu Hou have time to pay attention to these two little Loli, although he has a se, but the tools of crime have not yet developed, so he doesn't think much about it.

Coupled with the fact that he has so many things, it is not far from Guan Yu's defeat in Maicheng, he can be said to be racing against time and trying to expand his strength, even if his future wife comes, he can't be interested in it.

"I heard that there are a lot of strange things here in Childe, and they want to come over to visit and see it." The servant told the truth what he had heard.

MD, when I am here as an extracurricular social practice base for primary school students, what is there to visit Wèn, Lao Tzu is up and down hundreds of thousands of minutes in minutes, where is there time to entertain you. Liu Hou thought in his heart, and instructed the servant:

"Then you are responsible for entertaining them, and you can take them to see what they want to see, but you don't need to take them to a few core areas."

The area where gunpowder and firearms were developed was highly militarized, and ordinary people could not enter.

After the order, Liu Hou planned to find a place to hide, after all, these two young ladies are people with status and status, and it is not good to ignore people if they run into them. Just don't know, avoid it, and save yourself from being entangled.

However, before Liu Hou could hide, he heard a girl's voice as crisp as a silver bell from outside the courtyard: "Brother Adou, Brother Adou, where are you?" My sister has come to see you. ”
