In fact, in ancient times, it was also recognized that words should be homophonic in order to communicate, for example, before the Song Dynasty, the Luoyang accent was generally the official voice.

In the Ming Dynasty, the Fengyang accent was the official accent, but it was not strictly enforced.

This time Lu Bu brought it up, Jia Xu and Xun You glanced at each other and said: "General, ancient and modern scribes have such ideas, but they have not been able to unify the standards. So far, there are many difficulties. ”

Lu Bu fell into deep thought.

Phonetic transcription is now taken out, and it takes a lot of time to promote.

Just Chang'an accent, Luoyang accent, or other accents have to be noisy for a long time.

Not suitable for the time being.

Taking advantage of the large influx of scribes into Chang'an, you organize manpower to compile a dictionary based on ancient books such as "Shuowen Jie Zi" and "Erya", which is a reference book that provides explanations, example sentences, usage, etc. At the same time, the font should be simplified, so that the Chinese language can be more easily recognized and remembered. ”

During the Qin Dynasty, the small seal characters were more complicated and difficult to write.

Cheng Miao, the little official in charge of copying, was convicted and imprisoned because he was slow to copy.

While in prison, he had the idea of changing the way the small seal characters were written.

After ten years of pondering, Cheng Miao simplified and evolved the seal script on the basis of the seal script, turning the more rounded strokes of the original seal script into a square fold shape, and in the structure of the characters, the original pictographic structure like a painting was turned into a stroke form, so that the Chinese characters were better written than the original.

It is difficult to write seal characters, so there are more people who use official scripts.

As you can see from this story, the most important thing about fonts is that they are easy to use.

As for any artistry, it is all needed by artists and cultural talents.

Where do ordinary people care, practicality is the key.

It's like hair and clothes.

Don't look at the fact that there are still many people who oppose it, but when they find out the practicality of short hair and new clothes, they will slowly get used to it, then accept it, and finally get used to it.

This is the inevitable trend of historical development.

It will never be stopped by any tradition and defending etiquette.

Otherwise, it should be the Zhou Rite and Shang Rite that should be implemented now, not the Han Rite.

The red tape won't be simplified again and again.

Jia Xu reminded: "General, simplifying the font takes time and effort, so it is better to wait for the situation to stabilize before implementing it." ”

Lu Bu said with a smile: "Wenhe, I made such a big move in the hope that I could attract them here, so that our literacy rate could be improved, which would be very helpful to the development of education in Guanzhong." But it's not a good thing to let them keep making trouble like this, it's important to let them have something to do, so that they won't make trouble for us and pick on us all day long. You are all rubbish, and only by governing the country according to their will can the country be governed well and become the heaven on earth. The appearance of being high in the world. ”

Scholars like Cai Yong, can they be expected to govern the country?

No kidding.

It's definitely going to bring a good country to the point of collapse.

However, such people are indispensable in this era, after all, they are also educators on the one hand.

They are needed to educate and standardize educational textbooks.

What Lu Bu wants is for these people to come to Guanzhong, to be teachers, and to standardize textbooks.

It's not for them to 'give advice' to themselves.

Definitely find a time-consuming and labor-intensive job to work for them, and not cause yourself less trouble.

Jia Xu and Xun You were surprised by Lu Bu's far-reaching layout.

Is this still a martial artist?

How do you feel that the lord is more far-sighted than himself?

Jia Xu and Xun You glanced at each other,

With such a lord, it's a lot of pressure!

In this regard, Xun You felt it more deeply.

Jia Xu often stayed in Chang'an to guard his home, but he Xun Yu often had to follow Lu Bu on expeditions.

There are a few times when his own strategy is not as good as the lord's.

Then the feeling is even more profound.

Jia Xu bowed and said, "The general is far-sighted, and the subordinate admires." ”

Xun Yu said: "The lower officials are ashamed. General's Scheme. ”

Lu Bu waved his hand and said, "Wenhe and Gongda, you all have to consider national affairs, so naturally you won't take such small matters to heart. Don't mind. Concentrate on helping Ben Hou manage Guanzhong and deal with the enemy. ”

"Yes."

was shocked by Lu Bu.

Jia Xu and Xun You didn't have the face to talk about anything else, and they all followed what Lu Bu said.

In the Chang'an Bookstore on the side of Chang'an Academy, a large number of newly printed books are placed on the shelves.

The trained guy shouted loudly with a megaphone made of wood.

"Come and take a look, come and take a look, the Seven Classics of Confucianism compiled by Cai Zhonglang and Mr. Song are a must-see!"

"If you want to see it, come in and have a look. A copy costs only 100 yuan. Yes, I heard you right, I read it right, just a hundred dollars. One hundred dollars a book, you don't suffer a loss if you buy it, and you can't be fooled if you buy it. ”

"Come on, come and see, take a look. The Confucian classics written by Cai Zhonglang only cost 100 yuan a copy. If you miss it today, maybe you won't be able to buy it so cheaply again! ”

……

More than a dozen guys shouted, and soon attracted countless people.

When they heard that a book cost only a hundred yuan, many scribes couldn't believe their ears.

A hundred dollars a book?

Really fake?

You know, books are more expensive than bamboo rolls.

Otherwise, many scribes in the Han Dynasty still used bamboo rolls.

Now this bookstore actually offered a low price of only 100 yuan for a book, how could this not surprise the scribes.

They poured into the bookstore and picked up the books that were on display.

These people opened the book and saw that it was indeed a scripture written by Cai Zhonglang and Mr. Song. In the excitement, the hands holding the books were a little trembling.

Many people stood in the library and watched the content compiled by the scholars.

It's really every word, and every sentence is incisive. It's wonderful, but when these people sink into the ocean of scripture.

There were people outside the door who were dissatisfied. "Buy it or not. If you can't afford it, hurry up and roll. Don't get in the way of the old man! ”

Chang'an Bookstore is very atmospheric, with three shops.

But now there are thousands of people at the door, not to mention that there are still people who have heard the news, and people are coming one after another.

The library simply can't accommodate that many people.

The people outside who were in a hurry to get in were naturally dissatisfied and shouted loudly.

Those who were still standing and reading books could afford it, so they quickly bought it and left.

Those who can't afford it don't have the face to continue to stay here in vain.

People come and go, and the guys in the library have nothing to spare.

Some people bought a dozen copies in one go, and some people pooled money to buy one.

At night, countless people pick up the lights to watch at night.

Cai Zhonglang is very famous, but Song Zhong and the others are regarded as masters of scripture, and they are not vegetarians, so they naturally have attainments in scriptures.

Previously, the scribes were constrained by the dissemination of information and their access to it, and their knowledge was limited.

Now let's look at Cai Yong and Song Zhong at the same time on the different sections of the Seven Confucian Classics, as well as their commentaries.

This has had a great impact on their thinking and understanding.

What Cai Zhonglang said is very reasonable, but what Mr. Song said is not unreasonable?

Who's right?

With Cai Yong and Song Zhong, they wrote more and more scriptures.

Even the Chang'an Library has compiled the scriptures they have compiled a few days into a single volume for the scribes to read.

This has made countless people begin to reflect.

An ideological storm is slowly forming!

It's at this juncture.

The General's Mansion posted an announcement.

General Zhenxi, Wenhou Lu Bu issued an invitation.

Zheng Xuan, the Duke of Kangcheng, is invited to come to Chang'an, and on the tenth day of October, he and Cai Yong, Song Zhong and other scholars will debate the Five Confucian Classics and standardize the orthodoxy of Confucian scriptures.

As soon as the news came out, the world was in an uproar!
