Chapter 572: Growing Pains
Yunyao has many sisters-in-law, who are not a few years older than her. Li Yuan is a very capable emperor, with twenty-two sons and nineteen daughters, and now with Yun Yao's elixir, it is estimated that he can give birth to a few more in his lifetime, and his aunt's age is covered from fifty to five years old.
If Li Yuan has a few more daughters, it is estimated that the city name of the Tang Dynasty will not be enough, and the princess will have a title when she grows up, and she usually uses the place name of the fief to give the title. Therefore, many princesses in the Tang Dynasty were place name princesses, just like later generations named warships.
Yunyao has not been sealed yet, because there is no fief yet, of course, even if there is, there is no need to go to the fief, as long as you collect money, you don't need to participate in any management, you don't need to interfere in politics. According to Li Shimin's love for Yunyao, the fief in the future will definitely not be too bad, of course, if Yunyao encounters special circumstances, there will be no fief, but an auspicious title, such as Taiping and the like.
Of course, no matter what era it turns back to, marrying someone is something Yun Yao needs to consider. The Tang Dynasty horse was a very hard job, because the princesses of the Tang Dynasty were very strong, but Yun Yao was still young, so she didn't think about this kind of trouble, she was trying her best to invent the printing press and the typewriter.
The current writing habit is still from right to left, from top to bottom, so the typewriter also has to adapt to this way of writing in the Tang Dynasty, and the typewriter of Chinese characters can be said to be a challenge.
Before the invention of the computer, there were generally three design ideas for the Chinese character typewriter, one was similar to the Wubi input method, which designed the strokes needed by the Chinese characters, and then typed the required strokes to the corresponding position through memory encoding. One is similar to the method of movable type selection, where the characters are complete, and then the one needed is selected from hundreds of words. Another way is to divide the character into different parts, such as the radical is counted as a part, and the constituent glyphs in the trunk are partial. For example, food, the top is people, and the bottom is good. For example, I wish that the outside is the factory, and the inside is white, small, and hearty. It is to break down complex Chinese characters into small Chinese characters.
Each of the three options has its own advantages, but all have significant disadvantages. Because Chinese characters are really a hurdle for mechanical typewriters, it is not until the advent of the electronic information age that the input of Chinese characters can be regarded as crossing a step.
After all, Chinese characters are pictographs, there are too many shapes, and the same analogy appears in different positions in different characters, up and down, left and right. Unlike letters, the position of the alphabet in a foreign language word will only be different from left to right, and there is no change from top to bottom.
So even if you type a stroke, you have to remember the code in a different position for each stroke. For example, two, one horizontal on the top, one horizontal below, is two codes, this is still the simplest, if it is abundant, three horizontal is three codes.
So you have to memorize at least a thousand codes for stroke input.
Then it's about dividing the complex text into simple words, and there will be a lot less code to memorize, but the text structure will definitely be a mess. For example, Chang and Jing, although they are all composed of days, if they are written in days of the same size, then these two words have no beauty at all.
The last is the selection of word typing, the text is engraved in advance, when typing on the typewriter to select the text you need, and then press the typing button, choose one to type one, not only need to memorize the position of the text, but also by the number of words of the machine. After all, it is impossible for a typewriter to include all the Chinese characters, and if you encounter words that are not on the typewriter, you will be helpless.
Therefore, Chinese characters are the hurdles of mechanical typewriters, and the speed of using the above three methods is not as fast as direct handwriting, and then movable type typesetting.
In the first mortal world, Yun Yao used spells to solve the typing problem, directly turning Chinese characters into mana. In advance, the information of the Chinese characters is entered into the spell in the form of mana, and then when it is needed, a spell is written down, and the text is printed. In fact, the idea is the same as that of computers, which is to informatize Chinese characters.
But the Tang Dynasty did not have this condition, either handwriting or mechanical typewriters, and could only choose one of the two. In the end, Yun Yao chose a typewriter, after all, this thing is relatively simple, although there are many restrictions, but it retains the beauty of Chinese characters, and it doesn't need too exaggerated memory, as long as the eyes are okay, you can use it, but it's just a little slower.
Of course, the typewriter is not the most urgent, the most urgent is cheap papermaking and printing, which is the real fist product.
At the same time, Tang Seng was also ten years old, and he had already shown his talent for worshipping Buddha, and often added his own thoughts to reading Buddhist scriptures. Although he is young, he can't even answer the content of his thinking.
Tang Seng studied the Wisdom Sect, believing that the world is all false, and everything in the world is just the seed of Alayya, an illusion produced under the action of the six senses.
Monks all say that the world is illusory, but there are different explanations for why it is illusory. The Enlightenment Sect is to prove the illusory in a very complex way, to prove that everything is just the seed of the alayya.
Everything is false, only the alayas are true. And then there's a whole bunch of complicated Buddhist terms that explain why we perceive the world falsely, why we have seven emotions and six desires, all of which are false.
Enlightenment is complicated, so it is not popular. The real popularity is still the simple and convenient method of becoming a Buddha by chanting 'Amitabha', meditating and participating in meditation, and becoming a Buddha by having an epiphany. If an unintelligent person thinks about the eight senses all day long, his head will break down sooner or later. Tang Seng is definitely a smart monk, so it is not difficult for him to think about the eight senses at all, the only thing that makes him distressed is that there are always conflicts and contradictions in the Buddhist scriptures, although he is only ten years old, he has begun to trouble, so many contradictions in the Buddhist scriptures, is it a problem of translation, or is it the case? What is the content of a real Buddhist scripture?
From this time on, he began to want to seek the true Buddhist scriptures.
However, the true Buddhist scriptures are also full of contradictions. It can't be helped, because the sutras are all 'false truths', they are just rest stops leading to the true truth, not the real end. So it's normal to have contradictions, because the sutras are not the true meaning. You can't become a Buddha only by reading Buddhist scriptures, and you have to rely on your own meditation to become a Buddha.
Obviously, Tang Seng is still too young, and he doesn't understand that the Buddhist scriptures are just fingers, not the moon. It's just that some of these fingers point to the east and some to the west, and whether the moon is in the east or west depends on one's own understanding.
Ten-year-old Tang monk worships the Buddha every day, very pious and hardworking, the temple monks are very attentive to this river flowing from the river, and teach each other.
There are no babies floating in the canals of the palace, but it is not uncommon to see leaves and even flower petals floating around with poems written on them, which is a game for the ladies of the court, who will write poems on the leaves and petals and float them outside the palace. In this way, the content of the poems is also varied.
Tang was a dynasty of poetry, whether it was writing scenes, memorization, lyricism, or Mingzhi, Yunyao's sister and sister-in-law often got together to play this drifting bottle-like game. Although there will be no reply, it does not prevent them from imagining their poems being picked up by talented and handsome guys, which makes them haunted by dreams and convincing.
Yun Yao has participated in two poetry meetings, it is really Yingying Yanyan's fat powder pile, and I enjoy it a lot, but my face hurts a little, they all like to pinch Yun Yao's baby fat little face, and make Yun Yao's face thicker. Yun Yao said that she was so thick-skinned, and every woman who pinched her little face was responsible.
