Chapter 16: Simplified Chinese
In the face of the young man who appeared like an immortal, the villagers cheered with burning eyes, and knelt down to worship with a reverent attitude, and the old village chief cried out with tears in his eyes: "The dragon god really did not give up on us, the ancestors bless!"
"I know that you are persecuted by monsters, and now you are here to surrender it, and you will explain the cause and effect of the matter clearly, and I will deal with it. "You should not be pretentious.
"Do what God commands. The old village chief led a group of villagers to bow, and then turned back and said eagerly: "Go and prepare wine and food, and entertain the gods." ”
The other villagers sprang into action and rushed into the village with a look of joy on their faces.
Whew-
In the dark clouds, another person fell, but the appearance of kicking his hands and feet was very funny, and he should have stood there unintentionally, and kicked back, and the air was compressed, forming a strong wind, like a torrent bombarding the man.
Before he landed, Wang Banxian, whose body posture was out of control, was kicked out by Ying Wuxin, and finally slammed into the tree.
The old village chief pointed behind him with a surprised face and asked, "God, that's-"
"Waiter. Ying Wuxin said lightly, "It's a little frizzy." ”
"It turned out to be a divine envoy, disrespectful and disrespectful!" the old village chief saluted to the front, but in fact, he didn't see clearly whether the other party was a man or a woman, old or young.
"Let's go!" Ying Wuxin took the lead towards the village, the old village chief took the remaining villagers to follow, and after a while, the dark clouds dispersed, and the sun fell again, Wang Banxian leaned against the poplar tree, and muttered dissatisfiedly, "The wind is going down, I don't know that I respect the old!"
In the backyard of the Shi family's ancestral hall, a simple meal has been prepared, salted dried fish, ham meat, stir-fried air-dried chicken, and a large pot of bone broth, plus a few rice dumplings.
"Please God, please enjoy. The old village chief took a blue and white porcelain flask and placed it on the table, and then respectfully retreated.
Ying Wuxin sat down, glanced at the villagers around him, and said lightly: "Let's talk about things first." ”
The old village chief happily took out a booklet from his bosom and placed it on the side of the table, "It's all recorded here, and the gods can watch it and enjoy our thoughts at the same time." ”
Ying Wuxin looked at the three dishes, a soup, a pot of wine, and a plate of rice dumplings, and nodded with satisfaction: "Okay, then you go down for the time being, I will call you later." ”
Everyone left, and not long after, Wang Banxian beat his old waist and walked in, and when he saw the table full of dishes, his eyes lit up, and he pounced like a wolf.
A bench flew out and hit Wang Banxian's knee, and at the same time as the severe pain came, his body also lost his balance and fell into a dog eating.
Ying Wuxin took care of himself and filled a bowl of soup on the side, drank it in one go, and exclaimed, "Yes, just to quench your thirst." ”
"Little Daoye, I-" Wang Banxian was kicked and fell hard, and at this moment his whole body hurt as if he had fallen apart, and he couldn't stand up.
"No rules, frizzy, let's lie there first. Ying Wuxin picked up the chopsticks, ate the vegetables, and drank at the wine pot whale from time to time, the greedy Wang Banxian drooled, but he couldn't think about it.
swept away most of the wine and food, Ying Wuxin waved his hand and lifted Wang Banxian up, "Eat first, and then read the records." ”
Wang Banxian was full of dissatisfaction, but he didn't dare to show it, he was hungry and thirsty at the moment, so he was naturally even more reluctant to talk nonsense.
"It's so unpalatable, if I did, it wouldn't be like this. After eating, Wang Banxian muttered dissatisfiedly, honestly picked up the booklet on the table, opened it, and couldn't help but scream.
"I'll go, what age is this, why are traditional Chinese characters still used here. ”
Ying was surprised: "What is a traditional Chinese character?"
"This is traditional Chinese characters!" Wang Banxian handed over the booklet.
Ying Wuxin glanced at it and couldn't help but wonder: "Isn't this just ordinary characters?
Wang Banxian scratched his head, thought for a while and said: "Little Daoist, here's the thing, in the hometown of the little old man, a learned gentleman came decades ago, saying that he wanted to educate the people, so that everyone could read and write, for which he proposed a batch of new characters, fewer strokes than traditional characters, easier to recognize and remember, and more convenient to write, so it became popular in our place, and basically everyone learned simplified characters. ”
"What is simplified?" Ying asked curiously.
Wang Banxian pointed to a line of text on the booklet and read it again, "On the first day of the seventh month of the third year of Tianshou, villager Shi Zhu rushed to the town to pick up a donkey car, and encountered an accident, and the donkey who pulled the cart ......"
Then he dipped his hand in the soup and wrote on the table: On the first day of the seventh month of the third year of Tianshou, villager Shi Zhu drove a donkey cart to the town to procure, and encountered an accident, and the donkey pulling the cart -
"Simplified Chinese characters are simplified to some of the more complex structures of traditional Chinese characters. ”
With the contrast, it is clear at a glance, and you should immediately understand what the so-called simplified characters are.
The expression on his face changed slightly, and he said unintentionally: "Since the Cangshi Lizi Chronicle, four thousand six hundred and eighty-nine years ago, although the text has evolved a lot, but after all, there has not changed much, who is the gentleman in your hometown, and he can propose such a large amount of text improvement alone." ”
Wang Banxian shook his head helplessly, "I only know that his name is Mr. Xiu, and the rest is unknown." ”
With a light sigh, Ying Wuxin said, "I plan to visit when I have time." ”
"Mr. Xiu has passed away a long time ago, but I inherited most of his mantle, and all my cooking skills in cooking are from him. ”
Ying Wuxin had no choice but to give up, and said solemnly: "Now the land of Sanzhou is using the traditional Chinese characters you said, I really don't know how you have simplified Chinese characters there, and it spreads, it can be regarded as a miracle, but you only learn simplified characters, this traditional font record, most of them can't understand it." ”
Wang Banxian smiled, "Xiao Daoye, this is a wonderful use of simplified characters, but it is simply simplified, and it does not affect the cognition of the original traditional characters, so I can only learn simplified characters, and I can read the traditional fonts as well, and there will be no mistakes." ”
Speaking, Wang Banxian casually continued to read a few words, Ying Wuxin watched on the side, confirmed that there was no deviation, and couldn't help but be secretly surprised in his heart, this simplified Chinese character is so wonderful, not only easy to write and remember, but also does not affect the cognition of traditional Chinese characters, no wonder it can be popular in the hometown of Banxian, and promoted on a large scale.
The sages once said that it is the work of a saint to educate all the people and enlighten the masses.
But if you want to educate the people and enlighten the public, you need to let them be literate and reasonable, both of which are not easy, limited by conditions, literacy is even more difficult, Mr. Xiu came out with a simplified Chinese character, which can be said to have created a precedent for a new education, the effect is extraordinary, if it can be promoted on a large scale in the future, the people of the world can benefit.
"Worthy of the gentleman, admire. ”
Ying Wuxin sighed and respectfully saluted the eastern sky, "The dragon god bless." ”
"Little Daoist, then I'll continue to read-" Wang Banxian picked up the booklet and said excitedly.
"Stop. Ying Wuxin immediately called a pause and asked seriously, "Do you think I gave you this record book just so that you could read it to me?"
"Or else?"
"What do you say? Ying stared unintentionally and said viciously.
