Compared with the people, the scholar class has to use pen, ink, paper and inkstone all year round, and is directly deeply affected by the pain of washing the pen and grinding the ink to buy paper, and seeing that this kind of paper can be made, it is even more exciting, even if some local tyrants who can take money and not use it may not care about saving those paper money, but it is also extremely attractive to them to save trouble, and they do not always wash the brush, and more importantly, those who want to further their studies and make a difference often have to do a big thing - study tours.

Read 10,000 books and travel 10,000 miles.

As a scholar, if you want to really make your knowledge harmonious and unhindered, it is necessary to go out to study, and it is impossible to bring too much pen, ink, paper and inkstone with you to study abroad, so it is very troublesome to practice calligraphy outside.

With this kind of water writing paper, you often only need to bring a small amount of paper, plus two or three pieces of water writing paper.

In addition to the excitement of writing paper because of water, there is another point that the scholar class is different from ordinary people, that is, the comparison table between simple and traditional.

"Are these simplifications ancient?"

"I do know some, and I do see them in ancient books. ”

"These are all ancient characters and vulgar characters? I have traveled to study most of the Great Song Dynasty, and I know the most folk vulgar characters, but among these, how many do I know? Eighty-nine, and the rest are also vulgar characters used by the common people?"

"I know this, it's cursive, this ...... This...... These are all cursive, cursive, vulgar characters, ancient characters, variant characters, oh my God, there are really so many cursive, vulgar, ancient, variant characters......"

......

Although peers are jealous, but insiders can often see the doorway, ordinary people feel that there is no simple and traditional word list, in the eyes of readers, the more knowledgeable, read more books. The more unique ancient books I read, the more shocking I am.

The simplification of Chinese characters has always been ancient, but no one has legalized it all along, so the simplified characters of later generations are not original, but the collection of folk simplified characters, even so. It's not an easy task, either.

From the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom's first text simplification movement, to the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China, to the Republic of China, to the New China, again and again, the final version is simple in appearance, but the connotation is by no means simple.

Although it still has some disadvantages, it also has many advantages.

Instead of being easy to remember and easy to write, let's talk about the most obvious example. Although later generations learned simplified Chinese, but people who learned simplified Chinese characters can basically understand traditional Chinese characters, but they can't write, of course, this is related to the general environment at the time, such as film and television, signboards, calligraphy occasionally has traditional Chinese characters, but this can also indirectly prove that this kind of simplified characters are generally feasible.

Of course, these benefits that have been discovered after long-term use by later generations cannot be seen by outsiders, nor can highly educated readers. However, Qin Xianao was able to come up with so many simplified words at one time. This is very shocking, at least one word has several ways to write these details, and Qin Xianao knows how to throw them far away.

Unlike ordinary people, not everyone believes in the existence of the Immortal Kingdom, so they have never unconditionally believed in this Qin Xianao, but the higher the level, the more influenced by the martial arts world becomes, and the more hostile they are to Qin Xianao. Therefore, many people have absolute opposition to the implementation of simplified characters.

In the middle of the study, Cheng Yi put pen to paper like a cloud of smoke, drawing a picture of a galloping horse.

"It's a good painting, the teacher's galloping horse, Qin Xianao's painting is nothing more than that!"

"Qin Xianao's galloping horse diagram is more expensive than novelty. He has already drawn it, and it is easy for future generations to imitate it, and it is not difficult for even the drawn horse to surpass him. Cheng Yi sighed with emotion and inscribed a few lines of poetry in the corner of the galloping horse map, looked at the gold seal on the side, and shook his head: "It's a pity that it can't be printed!"

On the side, Lu Dalin couldn't cry or laugh: "The horse painted on the water writing paper will disappear soon, teacher, you don't want to seal the poem?"

"It's rare to draw so well, so naturally I want to do my best. Cheng Yi laughed and hung the pen on the pen stand on the side, "I can't imagine that this water writing paper has such a good effect, Qin Xianao has done a great thing, just this paper can save a lot of paper for the world." ”

Lu Dalin nodded slightly, Qin Xianao announced the production method in the newspaper, they didn't fully believe it, but made a batch first, and it turned out that it was indeed no different from what the newspaper said.

"Although these strange and obscene skills can't be elegant, but the world is like this, and you can't do anything without it. Cheng Yi sighed, "Confucius despised the crops, but the crops are the foundation of the country, and the same is true for this water writing paper. ”

"Teacher ......"

Lu Dalin's face changed slightly.

Cheng Yi also came to his senses and smiled faintly: "I don't suspect that I slandered the ancestor of the Sage Confucius, I just felt it, and if we want to truly understand the sage's intentions, we must use our brains more. ”

"Teacher Mingjian. Lu Dalin said in a low voice, even changing the topic, "Qin Xianao prescribed these two prescriptions, should we also make some moves?"

"This water writing paper is a good thing, and it is a blessing for readers. Cheng Yi said in a deep voice, "How can we object to this, we are not afraid of being pointed out by thousands of people?" As for this simplified ......word, Cheng Yi sighed in his heart, who uses the simplified word the most?

Special people are often different, they can be headstrong, they can show off.

The same is true for readers, and for words, the convention of readers, or the unspoken rule is that the more you know how to write a word, the deeper your knowledge will be, and the deeper your knowledge will be, and the more open you will be.

Therefore, if you meet someone who can only write all the words in the officially recognized way, you will be despised as a bun, and in fact, such a person is indeed too little knowledge.

Therefore, the great Confucians write letters and greetings, especially when both sides are extremely knowledgeable, and sometimes the words written are cursive characters, simplified characters, variant characters, and so on.

This unspoken rule has actually been extended to later generations, so Mao Taizu and Premier Zhou often wrote to Hongru very 'scribbled', using cursive script, and writing to Tubaozi, ordinary people are just formal rules, even if the simplified Chinese characters in later generations replaced the traditional Chinese characters, at this time knowing how to write traditional Chinese characters has become a manifestation of deep learning.

Therefore, writing letters between peers, especially competing scholars, in cursive is on the one hand to show that they value each other, and on the other hand, it is also provocative, if you can't read my letterhead. Then your level is too low!

Therefore, the scholar class will be so shocked when they read the simplified and traditional comparison table, and the more highly educated, the more shocked.

Cheng Yi's knowledge has reached the extreme, but it is in the simple and traditional tables of the Qin Dynasty.

"Qin Xianao provoked us, but ...... It's really inferior to him in this regard, I only recognize those words......" Cheng Yi sighed in his heart. I also admire each other a little, after all, I wrote a simple and traditional comparison table of more than 2,000 words at once, this skill.

"We use it the most ourselves, I'm afraid it's not easy to object, by the way, let you collect everyone's simplified words, how are you collecting them? Qin Xianao's simplified and complex list, what's wrong?" Cheng Yi said in a deep voice.

"Isn't it proper?" Lu Dalin shook his head slightly, his face a little emotional. "There's nothing wrong with it, what I know, Zhongli, Dingfu, Xiandao, as well as other Zhao Xianggong, Liu Xianggong, Li Xianggong, etc., in Luoyang, and all the Jinshi masters and calligraphers all the text collection, Qin Xianao's simplified version of all the words is either to choose the simplest stroke, or to choose the best plan, it is really hard to imagine that he can do it so well. ”

"Oh?"

Cheng Yi raised his eyebrows slightly: "His watch is so perfect?"

"It's not bad. Can't pick out too many thorns. Lu Dalin said in a deep voice.

Cheng Yi was slightly silent: "In this case, send the text materials you collected to Sima Junshi." Let him go to the headache, we don't care. ”

"Hmm. ”

In the prime minister's mansion, Sima Guang Wolf Hao wrote rice bowls in big characters on the paper, and he only felt hearty.

"My father used to save paper and ink, and he used to write as small as possible, but he can have fun in the future. Sima Kang walked into the study with some emotion in his eyes. Qin Xianao released water writing paper in the newspaper, and they were also very surprised, but they were also a little suspicious, such a magical paper was really so easy to make, why had no one ever done it before?

Sima Guang and Sima Kang are both familiar with history. Naturally, I know how much effort the ancients put into improving their writing tools, and the ancients have not made progress in this for generations, Qin Xianao can casually take out such a magical water writing paper?

Although he knew that Qin Xian was arrogant, he couldn't help but feel apprehensive in his heart, and it wasn't until he really got the finished product and found that what he said in the newspaper was true, so he landed on the ground.

"Father. Sima Kang walked to the side of the study, "It has been calculated, there are indeed more than 150,000 combinations of ten symbols, and Qin Xianao's exaggeration in the article seems to be correct." ”

"So it's not necessarily impossible to write words with the three strokes he said?" Sima Guang glared, then shook his head with a smile, "This Qin Xianao seems to be really proficient in Yu Zhixue, we shouldn't doubt him in this regard, by the way, how about simplifying characters?"

"Judging from everyone's text, although Qin Xianao's simplified and traditional tables can pick some thorns, they are generally very good. ”

"Can you only pick a few thorns?" Sima Guang frowned dissatisfiedly.

"Even if you pick those thorns, they are actually dispensable. Sima Kang said, "Do we need to oppose his plan?"

"Let's let it go, Qin Xianao is an ancestor who plays with conspiracy. Sima Guang said with a smile.

Sima Kang also smiled: "His Three Kingdoms, the whole book is written in a mess, but the strategy is wonderful......"

"Since this person ran the newspaper, how many sets have he set up, and how many times have we drilled?" Sima Guang seemed to be a little emotional, "Every time he hurriedly got in, and then he was slapped in the face, he is a person, whatever he throws out, it is all a ring and a ring, what kind of 'words and words' are going to be done this time, we can't be like Han Jiang, thinking about killing Qin Xianao, a little meaning is enough, giving people a way to live, but also a way to live for themselves, so as not to fall for him." ”

"Qin Xianao said it well, Zhuge is only cautious in his life!" Sima Kang nodded, saying that it was really a little scary to let him go against Qin Xianao.

Didn't he say in this issue that next time he would throw out another set of plans to solve the difficulty that the vernacular is too straightforward and simple and has no connotation, let's wait, what's the hurry, wait for him to finish his move, and then fight back, it's better after all. ”

......

The martial arts world is not like ordinary scholars and ordinary people who fully believe that they can make that kind of water writing paper, so they were silent at first, until they can really make water writing paper, they are emotional, for simplified words, the martial arts world, especially the Confucian alliance that has never dealt with Qin Xianao, is also in a complicated mood, and it is not good to oppose it, because they are the ones who use simplified words the most, and it seems that it is not good not to oppose them, they have always been against Qin Xianao, this time it is too unreasonable to wilt, so they all remain silent, waiting for the plan proposed by Qin Xianao's next issue of the newspaper, so that they can find loopholes and attack recklessly。 (To be continued.) )
