Chapter 599: The Wonderful Use of Punctuation
Meng Xifan was very happy to see this, and at the same time had a headache, there were too many people, and he didn't know where to arrange them for a while.
In the end, Ying Zheng set up a palace in the palace to greet these people.
The fact that the people of the hundreds of schools of the princes can come this time shows that they have begun to identify with the imperial court, which is a happy thing for Yingzheng.
To show that they are also very welcome. For the first time, a palace was given up for everyone to use, and the palace was renamed Wenyuan Pavilion.
When the members of the Hundred Schools of Princes learned of this, they all felt great vanity.
Of course, in the forbidden place of the palace, they are also very well-behaved and will not run around at will.
On this day, three big names came, they were Zhou Shu, Tang Bing and Wu Shi.
After the three of them reported to their homes, Meng Xifan and a group of important figures such as the Ministry of Education greeted them in person.
After Ying Zheng found out, he brought some important courtiers to visit him in person.
Such hermit masters have appeared, which can only show that their Ministry of Education has been established very well and very successfully, otherwise how would they attract hermit masters to come out.
On the same day, Ying Zheng and Zhou Shu had an all-night long talk.
It's okay not to talk about it, but when they talk about it, Zhou Shu and the three of them feel that they have misunderstood Ying Zheng, and they used to think that Ying Zheng was cruel and unkind, and he was not a benevolent and righteous monarch.
Now I know that Yingzheng did this for the sake of unifying China, but the way was a bit extreme, and no one dared to remind him, so he finally became a tyrant.
But with the appearance of the emperor, he reminded Ying Zheng, which made Ying Zheng know that there are some things that can be done better.
This made the three of them can't help but think, if the three of them had gone down the mountain earlier to explain the stakes, would they have been able to change the mind of the First Emperor earlier?
In the end, all three of them felt impossible, but one thing was very gratifying, the First Emperor was a person who was willing to accept new things and was willing to learn.
The First Emperor even took out Qin An's textbooks, but some of them were changed, such as the dynasty and author of the poem.
After the three of them saw the textbook, some were excited, some shook their heads, and some smiled bitterly, and everyone's expressions were different, because there were too many books, some deep and some shallow, which caused their expressions to change from time to time.
Zhou Shu got mathematics, and when he saw the content of mathematics, he was helpless at first, which was too simple.
But the more I look down, the more surprised I feel, from simple to difficult, it is easy for people to accept, especially those formulas, brought in with other numbers, can quickly help settlement.
There was also the table, as well as the multiplication formula, the Pythagorean theorem, etc., so that he forgot that there was a Yingzheng and two friends next to him.
"Wizard, what a genius, I don't even know a lot of the content in this book, which makes me feel very ashamed." Zhou Shu said while watching.
Tang Bing and Wu Shi were helpless about this.
It's just that what they got was the language, and after reading the language, they admired the poems quite a lot, and they all said that they were quatrains for the ages, and they were very concise and easy to understand.
However, I disagree with some of the texts, because they are all vernacular texts, and there is no fun of reading and breaking sentences.
Ying Zheng directly told everyone that although it is very interesting to read and break sentences, but before reading and breaking sentences, you must first be literate, and you don't even know the words, so how can you read and break sentences?
Everyone is very ashamed of this, and although it is interesting to read and hyphenation, many times a word can have many meanings, who can guarantee that their translation must be correct?
The three of them were a little ashamed to say this.
However, Tang Bing and the others also said that punctuation marks were found in the textbook, which surprised him very much and asked Ying Zheng what this meant.
Gongzi Gao on the side explained, he has been by Qin An's side for more than a year, and he has learned a lot of skills, and this time he came out to formulate teaching materials.
This textbook is not only for designated elementary schools, but also for junior high schools, high schools, and universities.
Now what is shown to the three of them is only the curriculum of the primary school, and Qin An is only given the curriculum of the primary school, and the curriculum of the junior high school is not
To give.
In order to prove the usefulness of punctuation, Gongzi Gao wrote a sentence to them: I will leave guests on rainy days and I will not stay on rainy days.
Because there was no punctuation mark in the middle, Tang Bing opened his mouth and said, "On a rainy day, stay in the guest day, do I stay or not?"
"Well, that's good." Wu Shi replied.
Zhou Shu put down the book at this time and wanted another math book, but was stopped by Gongzi Gao.
"Old Zhou. You might as well take a look at this sentence and can you read something else from it?" Childe said with a smile.
When Zhou Shu heard this, he could only give up the idea of continuing to read math books, came directly to the table, glanced at the words on the table, and said, "On a rainy day, stay a guest day, do I want to stay?" Isn't that a very normal phrase?
Wait, no, you can also read like this Rainy Day, Stay Guest Day, Stay Me, Don't Stay?"
Tang Bing and Wu Shi's faces changed, they all looked at the content on the paper, and read it silently, as if it was really like this.
"Wait." Zhou Shu said again, "I think it can be read like this: stay on a rainy day, and I won't stay on a rainy day." You can also say so; On a rainy day, stay on a guest day, stay on me? Stay!
It's funny, it's so funny, it's so funny that there are so many variations in just a few words."
Childe Gao said, "That's the magic of punctuation, and every punctuation mark has its own meaning.
So please don't ignore this punctuation, especially when you are literate and hyphenation, a sentence has multiple meanings, and who is right and who is wrong knows who knows.
The most important thing is the work of the three elders, and there may be a difference between the absence of punctuation marks and the punctuation marks.
I want to print and sell the works of the three elders, so that the students can clearly understand the content of the three elders' writings.
It is not that when people are reading and hyphenating, they can explain several meanings in one sentence.
In addition, I would like to be divided into vernacular and classical Chinese, one for the common people and the other for the readers, especially a group of great Confucians."
The three of Zhou Shu were a little moved, each of them had a book, but the only people who knew it were them and their disciples.
They also want to pass on their writings to the next generation.
"Okay. I promise you." Zhou Shusuan said first, "But I'm going to stay here and finish reading all these textbooks."
"No problem." Ying Zheng said, "Not only the books here, but I will also print the books of the hundreds of schools of thought for everyone to watch.
As long as you think that this book can be printed, the court will pay for you to print it, and if you find something inappropriate, you can revise it, and if you can't modify it, you can abolish it."
"Your Majesty is wise."
"I'm going to build a big library, and everyone can read the books in this library, but they can't borrow them." Ying Zheng said.
The third elder said excitedly again, "Your Majesty is wise."
