Volume 3 Rolling Yangtze River East Passing Water Chapter 2 Romance of the Three Kingdoms Luo Guanzhong [Seeking Reading]
"Luo Guanzhong? "Popular Romance of the Three Kingdoms"? ”
The old gentleman was stunned for a moment, listening to this statement, which talent is this Luo Guanzhong? What kind of long story is the so-called "Three Kingdoms"?
Seeing the old gentleman's reaction, Zhao Cheng was also stunned for a moment.
Luo Guanzhong, Romance of the Three Kingdoms, you won't know such famous people and works, right?
"Gongzi Qin, who is this Luo Guanzhong? What is "Popular Romance of the Three Kingdoms"? ”
The old gentleman pondered for a moment, still a little curious.
"Luo Guanzhong, a native of Huhaisan, was originally from Taiyuan, and later lived in Jiangnan......"
Zhao Cheng blurted out something in a trance.
Luo Guanzhong, a native of the late Yuan Dynasty and early Ming Dynasty, is indeed a person of this era.
But he had the ambition to be king, but he followed Allah wrongly, and later saw that Zhu Chong's eight major events had been accomplished, and gradually faded out of the rivers and lakes.
Since then, Luo Guanzhong has gone to the south of the Yangtze River and lived in Jiangsu and Zhejiang.
He was never born to serve again, and became a simple novelist.
In fact, it's not that he doesn't want to be an official, it's mainly related to Zhang Shicheng, how can he be treated by the Ming Empire?
The king of the picture has no result, so he is angry and writes a book!
It is also for this reason that in the early years of Hongwu, a famous masterpiece "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" was born, which established his status as a Xia novelist and even in the literary world.
Everyone in the world knows Zhu Chongba, but few people know Zhang Shicheng, but it is Luo Guanzhong, Zhang's former staff, who has been famous for generations because of a huge book.
After the creation of "Popular Romance of the Three Kingdoms", Luo Guanzhong created many works one after another.
also took time to process and improve the teacher Shi Nai'an's "Water Margin".
Shi Nai'an is also famous for "Water Margin" and has endured for a long time.
It's a pity that these two people, or most of the famous writers in the history of the Xia people, are far less famous than their later generations.
For example, Du Gong Department, Li Taibai.
The reasons for this are complex, but the main reason is that the productive forces are backward, the communication technology is backward, and the speed of transmission is slow.
In fact, in such an environment in ancient times, there was almost no communication technology to speak of.
The traffic is all about walking, and the communication is all about roaring.
Or light beacon fires and spread wolf smoke.
Of course, going to the post station and sending letters is the most mainstream way of communication.
But the delay is too long!
Especially in the Ming Empire, after the implementation of the road guidance system,
In the Ming Dynasty, the rivers and lakes were blocked, and all kinds of circulation were not smooth.
In addition, the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" in this era is still a banned book, and it can't be elegant.
Even if Luo Guanzhong is famous and talented in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, it is normal for no one to know him when he leaves Jiangsu and Zhejiang.
Zhao Cheng sighed, if he has the opportunity in the future, he will have to find this novelist, and maybe he can set up a top Luo Guanzhong Novel Award in the literary world in this world.
It's a pity that Li Bai died early, otherwise it would be okay to set up a Li Bai Award, or the Du Fu Award or the Su Shi Award, which is not more atmospheric than the Nobel Prize for Exclusion of China?
After Zhao Cheng briefly introduced Luo Guanzhong to the old gentleman, he made a fake action of taking the book and took out a copy of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" from his arms.
"It doesn't matter if you don't know me, old man, I just happened to have this book with me."
"This is "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", I didn't lie to you."
Zhao Cheng handed the book over, and the old gentleman looked at the book strangely.
His face was very surprised, as if he had seen something amazing.
The old gentleman's surname is Zhou, he has experienced a lot of things, he has a good eye, and he can recognize this book at a glance.
When you turn the page, you are even more amazed by this delicate paper!
It's just, why is this font so small?
Moreover, it seems that it is still a vulgar word?
Mr. Zhou glanced at Zhao Cheng suspiciously, although he knew a lot of vulgar characters, it was still a little difficult to read this simplified character.
"Oh, old man, this is a simplified Chinese character, in my house, but it is very popular,
Whether it is an official document or a student's learning exchange, this kind of character is used, which is simple, convenient, and easy to understand......"
Zhao Cheng hurriedly explained, and it looked like something was going on.
It's just that Mr. Zhou is still confused.
When will vulgar characters also be able to enter the house?
Writing books in vulgar characters, and binding them into books with such precious paper?
Zhao Cheng pretended not to see it, and he wouldn't explain anyway.
Hundreds of years later, the Xia people, the implementation of simplified Chinese characters helped the literacy campaign and made great contributions to the popularization of education.
Today, one of Zhao Cheng's layouts is to promote the popularization of simplified Chinese characters.
It's just that simplifying the popularization of Chinese characters is not so easy!
Although Zhu Chongba suppressed the scholars, he still needed the scholars to govern the country.
In order to protect their own class interests, how could scholars make simplified Chinese characters popular?
Raise the threshold for education and strengthen the difficulty of reading, the more complex the Chinese characters, the more difficult the knowledge to understand, and the more rules and regulations there are......
After a series of operations, the scholar has become a high-ranking existence, detached from the toiling masses.
Even if it is a poor family, it is not something that can be laughed at by a casual person.
These hundreds or even thousands of years of foundation, how can Zhao Cheng be easily shaken!
……
However, whether you can do it is one thing, and whether you can do it or not is another.
Zhao Cheng vowed to subvert this imperial power and level the world.
It is necessary to overthrow the monopoly of scholars on the right to education.
It's just that this matter is too big to come little by little!
"Old man, this is a "Xinhua Dictionary", which is a simplified Chinese character that our family has organized, which can correspond to traditional Chinese characters."
Zhao Cheng took out a thick dictionary from his arms and handed it to the old man.
"This thing, how do you use it?"
The old gentleman was puzzled, there was a dictionary, and he couldn't use it.
He cursoradically read "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", and although he couldn't fully understand it, he also understood that this book was unusual.
It's a great story!
But you have to understand it before you can say it!
Zhao Cheng pulled the old man to sit down, explained and demonstrated at the same time, and spent about ten minutes teaching Mr. Zhou how to use it.
……
The old gentleman realized something, and looked at Zhao Cheng like a celestial.
Who is Na Luo Guanzhong, he doesn't know,
He didn't know who compiled this "Xinhua Dictionary".
But if this Qin Gongzi can come up with such books, it is definitely impossible for ordinary people.
"Old gentleman, you can guess the value of these two books, especially this "Xinhua Dictionary",
The Buddha said that seeing each other is fate!
It is also fate that we can meet in the vast sea of people.
I'll give you these two books. ”
Zhao Cheng didn't ink, and directly gave away the things that the ancients were shocked to be written by the sky.
He can send a history book to Zhu Biao, and naturally he can also send "Xinhua Dictionary" to others.
Although this is a peerless martial art, if it can't be circulated and widely spread, how is it different from toilet paper?
"This, absolutely unacceptable!"
When the old gentleman heard this, he was even more shocked and refused again and again.
"Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is better, it seems that the Jiangnan side is very popular.
But this "Xinhua Dictionary" is so heavy, how can he, an old man who is half in the ground, carry it?
The book is not heavy.
But the value and significance contained in it are as heavy as Mount Tai!
"Make it, old man, we are destined." Zhao Cheng stuffed two books into the old man's arms one after another,
"The story of this book is enough for you to make a living, if you are interested and feel deserved, then you might as well promote the simplified Chinese characters recorded in this dictionary,
Let more people in the world know how to read and ......"
Zhao Cheng's purpose is very simple, that is, he wants to start from the grassroots level and implement simplified characters.
Of course, this is a major project that cannot be completed by a storyteller.
This is just Zhao Cheng's temporary intention and doing a good deed!
"This ......"
The old gentleman still hesitated, and he deserved it!
In ancient times, the ability to make a living was almost the foundation of life for a person and a family.
The old gentleman is a storyteller, and there are more than ten people behind him, and he relies on him to make money for many expenses.
Now Zhao Cheng gave him such a storybook and a dictionary that is rare in the world.
What kind of kindness can be described in a few words?
"Hey, by the way, I also have a copy of "Water Margin" and "Journey to the West" here, and I also give them to you."
The old man didn't talk much, but Zhao Cheng could feel the sincere emotions, so he simply took out "Water Margin" and "Journey to the West" and stuffed them into the old man's arms.
All living beings are suffering, and everyone is fighting.
There are by no means a few people like the elderly who carry the weight of the family and carry the burden forward.
Zhao Cheng can't save all of them now, and he can't help them all, but he can help one by one.
The old man looked at the book in his arms and wanted to shirk it, but when he looked up, Zhao Cheng had disappeared.
The old eyes were hot, and they couldn't help but turn red.
In this world, there are still good people.
At least this Qin Gongzi is also a good person!
It's a pity that he didn't know that this son was the god and demon Zhao in his story, who killed thousands of people in Yingtianfu not long ago.
The old gentleman searched upstairs and downstairs, and also searched the street for a while, but finally did not find the good Samaritan.
He looked at the people coming and going on the street, and felt a lot of emotion in his heart, and then hurriedly packed his things and ran home with four books in his arms.
After all the hardships, their family is about to soar!
……
Zhao Cheng left the teahouse and went straight to the ancient seventh-level floating slaughter on the edge of the Yangtze River.
He doesn't believe in Buddhism, and what he says to the old man is "fateful" is a pretext.
It's just that when I came out of Yingtianfu, I still felt a lot of sins on my body and wanted to go to the pagoda to see.
I don't ask for the Buddha, I don't worship the Buddha, but I ask for psychological comfort!
Ten Thousand Buddha Temple, founded in the Great Cause, because of the Yangtze River, later renamed Yingjiang Temple.
Yingjiang Temple, on the Jiuhua Mountain, down to Kuanglu, north of the pillar, south of the Yangtze River, can be said to have the aura of heaven and earth, occupy the glow of humanity.
Because of its unique geographical location, it has been a landmark in Anqing since ancient times, and it is an Internet celebrity check-in place hundreds of years later, and it is also a check-in place today in the thirteenth year of Hongwu.
Today's sky is high and cool, the white clouds are long, and the crowd of people who come to pay their respects is endless.
Most of them are women, either burning incense and worshiping Buddha for their husbands' families, or asking for marriage for their children......
Of course, there are also many rich ladies who come together, some have fresh pictures, some come to hang out, and some ask about marriage.
A man in Zhao Cheng followed the crowd alone, but he looked nondescript.
But fortunately, he is strong enough inside.
As long as I'm not embarrassed, it's someone else who is embarrassed.
For example, the mushrooms in the back often look at him, talk and laugh, hide their faces with handkerchiefs, and become a unique scenery.
Zhao Cheng didn't care, looking at the seventh-level floating slaughter from afar, he still had a lot of feelings in his heart.
In any era, in any period, even if it is traced back to pre-Qin antiquity, there will always be powerful people and gaps.
There will always be people who drink a lot of wine, eat a lot of meat, and live freely and unrestrained when others can't eat.
After all, there are always people who carry other people's years quietly and move forward with a heavy load!
Zhong Ming Ding ate the house, sucking other people's blood, eating other people's meat, watching others eat bran vegetables, and said with a smile: "Why not eat minced meat?" ”
It's so normal!
It is true that the same is true of the Ming Empire.
Fortunately, this road of pilgrimage to the Buddha does not pit the poor.
At the very least, there is no admission fee.
As for the incense money.
At your own expense.
There are knowledgeable guests who are responsible for receiving and guiding the donors who burn incense and worship the Buddha to offer incense correctly.
Zhao Cheng came to see the Buddha, but did not worship the Buddha, like a tourist looking around.
Not to mention, this ancient temple with a history of nearly 300 years has a very deep heritage.
Especially the Scripture Pavilion, which is quite large.
Unfortunately, it is not open to the public.
Perhaps, it's because Zhao Cheng didn't pay the incense!
Zhao Cheng stopped and walked around, swimming around the Daxiong Treasure Hall, this seventh-level floating slaughter is quite majestic.
I just don't know, how many people have been crossed by this floating massacre, and how many people have been saved?
And, how many people were sacrificed to build it?!
"This donor, you have passed the treasure hall three times without entering, but your heart is relatively heavy?"
A middle-aged monk had been paying attention to Zhao Cheng for a long time, and came up with a broom to ask.
Zhao Cheng was still a little surprised, looked at the monk and smiled:
"Master, you can see that my heart is heavy, so you can't see what my heart is, why is it heavy?"
"Amitabha, donor, your fate is determined by yourself, and you are born from your heart, your face is now fierce, and the seal hall is black, I am afraid that there will be a great omen."
"Oh, a bad omen? Am I going to be in trouble? Master, what should I do then? ”
"Put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha on the spot!"
