Chapter 124: Forerunner of the Renaissance

"In this way, I am afraid that my Chinese culture will usher in a big change." After seeing the two tigers leaving, Gao Qidao.

"Not bad." Liu Bowen said, "In the future, writing articles in this way of speaking will be popular throughout the Ming Dynasty." After a long time, I am afraid that the well-crafted articles will be eliminated. ”

"Writing articles in a normal way can be called 'vernacular writing'," Song Lian said.

"Since then, the elaborate ancient texts have been discarded and replaced with vernacular Chinese." Lu Chang said, "I don't know if it's a blessing or a curse." ”

"In the eyes of the students, this will probably be a new cultural change." Ma Jun said, "Since ancient times, Chinese culture has undergone several changes. From the contention of a hundred schools of thought in the pre-Qin period to the great unification of Qin Shi Huang. From the exclusive Confucianism of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, to the metaphysics of the Wei and Jin dynasties, and the science of the Tang Dynasty...... From Han Fu to Song Ci to Tang Poetry to Yuan Qu, each time is a huge change. ”

"That's a good point." Song Lian nodded and said, "And this cultural change is to transform Confucianism and lift the ideological imprisonment of the people." After Confucianism was transformed, Yan Shenggong may not be so important. ”

"And the emperor also said that scholars should be close to the people when they write articles, which is more conducive to self-cultivation and Qi family governance and peace in the world." Liu Bowen said, "The emperor's words are still very reasonable. ”

"Because there are the most people in the world."

At this point, the crowd fell silent.

"Alas!" Suddenly, Song Lian sighed, "The "Sending Dongyang Horses to Life" I just wrote has been praised by the world, and now that the new cultural change has arrived, who else in the future will recite it?" ”

Last time, he was inspired and wrote a preface to Ma Junze, which has always been a work of which he is proud.

And now, with the cultural change coming, the work he is proud of will seem less important.

"This new cultural change will surely go down in history. Tell me, is this change really proposed by the emperor? Gao Qi asked. He's just a cowherd baby, and the cowherd baby can also change Chinese culture?

"Needless to say, it's not the man who is in charge?" Song Lian said.

The crowd all had the same name in their minds at this time - Qin Yu!

"Lord Yugao!" At this moment, a student from the Hanlin Academy walked in and said, "Princess Ningguo has already transmitted the content of the second volume of "Breaking the Firmament" to the palace through the Jinyi Guard. ”

"The second volume of Breaking the Sky has arrived!?" When the crowd heard this, they immediately stood up as if they had been beaten with chicken blood, and said excitedly.

"Let's enter the palace immediately and ask the emperor for a look!" Song Lian said.

After speaking, Liu Bowen, Song Lian, Gao Qi, and Lu Chang went to the palace one after another.

In fact, no matter how attractive the content of the second volume of Breaking the Sky is, it is not as important as their lives. They entered the palace at this time for another purpose, weren't they just reprimanded by the emperor? They are now entering the palace, just to use this excuse to express their loyalty to the emperor.

After entering the palace, the crowd will tout the content of "Breaking the Firmament" as close to the people, the story is attractive, and promise large-scale printing, and even promise to write a preface to "Breaking the Firmament".

As soon as the emperor was happy when he heard this, he might be able to eliminate the guilt he had against them.

After the crowd entered the palace, they did so.

Zhu Yuanzhang was also very happy about their change, and took advantage of the high interest to ask Song Lian to write a preface to "Breaking the Sky".

After Song Lian received the order, he wrote another article "Dou Po Prelude"

"Your Majesty, the minister's "Dou Po Order" is more attentive and better than the "Sending Dongyang Horse to Shengxu" written by the minister before." Song Lian said, "If it can be passed on to future generations in the future, it will definitely be recited by future generations of students." ”

"Everyone memorizes "Dou Po Order", and you don't have to memorize "Sending Dongyang Horses to Life".

……

A few days later.

As expected, "Breaking the Sky" swept the entire Ming Dynasty.

The people rushed to watch, and their hands could not let go of the scroll.

Some people who read books are still unsatisfied after reading it dozens of times.

Some people were walking and reading with books in their hands and bumped into pedestrians on the road.

The rich lady hid at home and secretly observed.

The talented people each have a copy, and when they talk about it at the party, they talk about the vindictiveness and the realm...... Because of Song Lian's preface, coupled with the recommendation of Liu Bowen and others, the Hanlin Academy Publishing House published it, and those who pretend to be high-minded readers no longer resist.

Almost every village in Daming is popular.

After hard work, the people's favorite thing to do is to sit under the big locust tree at night and listen to the village scholars read "Dou Po"

Even some peasants, in order to understand the book, took the initiative to learn the culture.

Anyway, the text of the book is very simple, and as long as they can read it, they can read it. Unlike the articles written by previous readers, I really can't read them without a deep cultural heritage.

Invisibly, it also improves the culture of the people.

……

"Your Majesty, Mr. Qin doesn't talk about fighting, but starts talking about the god of war again." Someone came in to report,

"Print the god of war into a book, so that the people of the Ming Dynasty can see it." Zhu Yuanzhang said, "Further spread the influence of Confucianism among the people, so that the people have a more open mind." ”

"As long as it is beneficial to the people, we are willing to do it."

"Your Majesty, the second volume of "Breaking the Firmament" has been sold out, and a total of five million taels of silver will be obtained!"

"Five million taels!?" Zhu Yuanzhang was shocked, "This is more money than collecting poll tax, and this money will be placed in the inner treasury and will not be handed over to Lu Chang." After all, this matter was initiated by Princess Ningguo, and most of the silver had to be distributed to Princess Ningguo and Mr. Qin. ”

"Your Majesty, the people are eager to read the third volume of "Breaking the Firmament". Those who wanted to read books went to the local Gongyuan one by one to petition, and the threshold of the Gongyuan was almost broken. It made the local officials anxious and unbearable. Therefore, they have written to the Hanlin Academy, demanding that the third volume be released as soon as possible. ”

"Your Majesty, the Hanlin Academy has received a lot of blades."

"Your Majesty, because the people haven't seen the content below "Breaking the Sky" for a long time, they have all started to write fanfiction to chat for comfort. The fandom they wrote was written in the vernacular. ”

"Even similar articles were written, but in the vernacular."

"Now vernacular literature has become the mainstream of the Ming Dynasty and is being vigorously developed."

"Your Majesty, after the minds of the people have been liberalized, there have been many more inventions and discoveries in life. Many new things have emerged, which have greatly improved their production and living standards. ”

"Good!" Zhu Yuanzhang stood up and called a big good word.

"Princess Ningguo previously said that she would carry out a renaissance on the Ming Dynasty, and from this point of view, the renaissance of the Ming Dynasty is already in full swing. And Breaking the Firmament, the God of War, the National Art Flow, Fantasy, Xianxia, and the Infinite Two Elements of the Heavens will become the pioneer works of the Ming Renaissance. ”
