Chapter 56: Confusing
The day was gloomy and gloomy.
But many people in Luoyang were immersed in an atmosphere of excitement, expectation, and even a little nervousness.
"If memory serves, it's today. ”
"The books of the Immortal Kingdom came out, and the first one was translated by Qin Xianao. ”
"The people of the Immortal Kingdom live in heaven, according to what Qin Xianao said, it is because the doctrine of their ancestors thousands of years ago took a slightly different path from ours. ”
"This time we must see, what is the difference?"
"Hey, maybe we can't read it. ”
"Well, that kind of knowledge must be excellent, extremely clever, and able to expound the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth like the Tao Te Ching. ”
"It's definitely harder to read than the Tao Te Ching, it's more difficult to read than Confucianism. ”
......
According to Qin Xianao's notice in the newspaper, today is the day when the first book of the Immortal Kingdom Book will appear, and after reading "Travels to the Immortal Country", it can be said that the life in the book is rich and poor, and all classes are very yearning, so at this time, whether they are readers or not, whether they have money or not, whether they have status or not, they all have great expectations in their hearts, and they have put the money to buy newspapers in their purses.
Huanxi Garden, Li Kefei's family, and Wang Gongchen's family are also looking forward to it.
Li Qingzhao walked around in the boudoir.
"Miss, miss, open the door, I bought it. The shouting sounded, Li Qingzhao pushed the door open, and saw that Xiu'er was still in Xu Yuan, so he shouted.
"How?" asked Li Qingzhaolian.
"Deng, how could Qin Gongzi break his promise. The little girl smiled and ran to Li Qingzhao's side and handed over the newspaper, "I've read it all, I can understand it at a glance, and it's not very difficult to think of the books of the Immortal Kingdom." ”
"It's not difficult. You know that you are blowing nonsense. Li Qingzhao scolded with a smile and took the newspaper.
Xiu'er pouted: "I didn't blow it, you can see it yourself." ”
Li Qingzhao rushed into the room, and at the same time quickly opened the newspaper, and with a sweep of his eyes, he found the front page, only to see the most eye-catching place written: "Category article." "Three big words.
"Scope?"
Li Qingzhao found that there was a long preface on these three eye-catching words. Even looking at the past, it was the preface written by Qin Xianao, which undoubtedly meant to fulfill the promise and the like. Li Qingzhao glanced at the preface and looked directly at the text of the "Category Chapter".
[1] When a thing has only one common name, and the definition of the entity corresponding to the name is different, the name of the thing is 'homonymous......"
Seeing this sentence, Li Qingzhao's eyes widened.
"What kind of nonsense is this?" Li Qingzhao was completely confused, things have common names, but definitions are different. The name of the thing is the same name and different meaning, who doesn't understand this truth, even a fool knows this, and you still use it, even write it in a book?
This is the knowledge of the Immortal Kingdom.
The people of the Immortal Kingdom learn this?
Li Qingzhao was completely stunned, and she looked at this sentence, which was slightly different from the layout of previous newspapers, previous newspapers. It is used to separate each sentence by a space, or two.
And this time.
One uses the Arabic numeral '1'. And the word '1' is sandwiched with two symbols, and then a dot appears after 'common name' and 'differentiation', and the word 'same name and different meaning' is also enclosed by the two symbols.
It was the Qin Dynasty that first used punctuation marks such as parentheses, commas, and quotation marks in previous lives in articles and published them in newspapers.
Li Qingzhao took a slight breath and continued to look down.
"Both 'human' and 'portrait' can be called 'animal' because that's just their common name......"
"When things don't just have a common name. And the definition of the entity corresponding to the name is also the same, so the name of the thing is 'synonymous'......"
[2] The expression of language is either compound or simple. ......”
......
The more he looked down, the more confused he became, and even became completely impatient. The explanation in the back is long-winded, and it looks complicated and trivial, which makes people headaches.
Of course, this headache is not unrecognizable.
The words and sentences of the category chapter are the same as those of the newspapers of the Qin Dynasty, every sentence is in the vernacular, and it is easy to understand as much as possible, but although each sentence is recognized, the words are very abstract, and the content of what is said is so dry and boring that people can't lift up a little energy.
If it weren't for Li Qingzhao's natural intelligence, I'm afraid that after reading the back and forgetting the front, I wouldn't be able to read what he was saying.
This is boring, as long as the content article is not understood by fools, but the left is analyzed, the right is explained, over and over again, and a large article is written back and forth, how can it not make people have a headache, how can it feel complicated and trivial?
The Qin Dynasty did not write the "Category Chapter" in one go, but only wrote a small part.
Endured nausea and impatience Li Qingzhao finished reading this article, and then found that the little note given by Qin Xianao in the back This little note has a lot of content, but what made Li Qingzhao pay attention the most.
"My ancestor Qin Xianao was studying in the realm of immortals, and all books must have punctuation, and their punctuation may indicate tone, or mean pause, or explain the nature and function of words. Therefore, even untrained readers will not be ambiguous. ”
"Translating immortals Chinese pay attention to faith, reach, and elegance, and the punctuation marks of the immortal country cannot be discarded, so as not to produce different interpretations of the name in one sentence......
"The biggest feature of the fairy country is that it is standardized, rigorous, and serious, and it can be seen from the punctuation that ......"
"The principle of heaven and earth is so mysterious. It's hard enough to explain these truths, so why make it artificially more difficult in reading?......"
"I propose that in the future, all translations of books in the Chinese language of the gods should not be omitted, and in the future, all articles published in the New Youth Daily will be punctuated, so contributors should pay more attention. ”
......
Just like Hu Shi, Qian Xuantong, and Zhou Zuoren back then...... In 1919, when the Plan called for punctuation, the Qin Dynasty advocated the use of punctuation in this summary. Then the second article is titled: "Adopting New Punctuation Initiatives", and the following is a table of the rules and functions of various symbols.
"Punctuation?"
Li Qingzhao's eyes flashed brightly, reading, and teasing have always been a troublesome thing, although ancient texts are all through the sense of language, tone and particles. grammatical structures, etc. to break sentences. However, this kind of sentence break has a big 'shortcoming', that is, it is easy to break sentences unclearly, which makes the article ambiguous and misunderstood, and this kind of misunderstanding, this kind of sentence can extend infinite meanings. It is a good thing for people who pretend to be ghosts to show their knowledge, but Li Qingzhao doesn't like it.
"This Qin Xianao uses punctuation, if it can really be promoted, it will do a good thing, but ......"
Li Qingzhao shook his head, his eyes fell on the "Category Chapter", and his eyebrows furrowed slightly.
"Miss. ”
Xiu'er crossed around, and found that Li Qingzhao seemed to have finished reading the "Category Chapter" and couldn't help but get excited.
"I didn't expect this "Scope Chapter" to be so simple. Even I can understand it. Xiu'er fluttered her bright big eyes, "But why is this, this is the book of the Immortal Country, the knowledge that allows the Immortal Kingdom to enter such a paradise-like living country, Miss, how can it be so simple?"
"Simple, have you read it all?Do you understand what it means?" Li Qingzhao glared at Xiu'er amusedly.
Xiu'er smiled and grinned, "Didn't I want to show it to Miss earlier." So just a few glances and it was really simple. I can understand all the sentences in it, but I forgot the whole thing, and I don't know what he was going to say. ”
"Would you like to show it to me earlier, which time did you not read the newspaper first?" Li Qingzhao scolded with a smile, "I think you didn't finish reading it because you were bored." ”
Xiu'er chuckled a few times, although she could understand every sentence of the category. The meaning seemed very simple, but it was also extremely boring, and together she didn't understand what she was talking about.
"Miss, do you think Qin Xianao has deceived us, this is not a book of the Immortal Kingdom at all?"
"Do you really think so?" Li Qingzhao looked at Xiu'er with a smile.
Xiu'er's little face turned red. Shaking his head and said: "Of course not, a character like Qin Gongzi, such a talent, if you really want to write something that Xiu'er can't understand, and talk about the truth, you may not lose to Mr. Yichuan, he doesn't need to lie to us, I just, I just want to know what you think." ”
"I ......"
Li Qingzhao was slightly silent, she lowered her head and looked at the category chapter again, and when she saw half of it, she suddenly had a hidden thought in her mind, but she carefully tried to grasp that idea, but she disappeared without a trace.
......
Ikawa Academy.
"Haha, ridiculous, ridiculous. ”
You Xing walked through the courtyard with a smile, "Teacher, the greater the expectation, the greater the disappointment, this Qin Xianao launched his own doctrine, I thought it was such a great thing, I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it to be such a piece of garbage...... Not the Son of Man, not the Son of Man. ”
Cheng Yi's face was extremely heavy, and his eyes were fixed on the text of the "Category Chapter" in his hand.
"Teacher?"
You Xing was stunned: "What, is there anything remarkable about this article?"
Cheng Yi seemed to come back to his senses, was slightly silent, and sighed in a low voice: "Dingfu, even if this is really a bad article that is not commendable, but do you think about who Qin Xianao is, why did he launch such an article?"
"This ......" You Xing's face froze, of course he was puzzled.
"Neutral, what do you think?" Cheng Yi looked at Yang Shi, who was reading the newspaper on the side.
"From what I know about Qin Xianao, the more ridiculous what he did, the more likely it was to be right. Are these simple and useless things he threw out this time really useless?" Yang Shi's voice was strange, "I think this represents a way for him." ”
"How?"
Cheng Yi raised his eyebrows slightly, nodded, and his eyes fell on the "Category Chapter" again, and his breathing was slightly short.
"Teacher, what do you think?" asked Youxing.
Cheng Yi raised his head and glanced at You Xing: "Our martial arts world is all vying to study the principles of heaven and earth, but Qin Xianao's article is about names, languages, quantities, etc., which seems to be worthless in martial arts, but Zhuangzi said. The Tao is in the ants, the Tao is in the', the way of the world, the instruments are different, but the reason is unique, from the ants to find the avenue, and from the sun, moon and stars to find the avenue to the reason, there is no difference, neutral, Dingfu, there are some things, the old man can't say it thoroughly, after all, the old man is old, he can't go one day, Luo Xue's beam still has to be supported by you, so, there are some truths that the old man tells you directly, it's better for you to figure it out yourself. ”
"What's going on with this article, you go back and think about it, think about it, and then come and talk to the old man. ”
After Cheng Yi finished speaking, he stood up and staggered into the inner room with a newspaper.
"The teacher seems to be very stimulated, what's going on?" You Xing and Yang Shi glanced at each other, nodded and walked out of the courtyard. (To be continued......)
