The Qin Dynasty did not explain to Guo Yuanyuan why others did not make it well, and after the newspaper was interviewed by A Zhu and A Bi from Yang Shi, Sima Kang and Lu Xichun ...... One by one, they either accepted interviews with Ah Zhu and Ah Bi, or sent them directly, and the Qin Dynasty allowed them to be published.

The next day, in a box in the three drunken buildings on the streets of Luoyang, a handsome girl and an old man with fairy bones sat opposite each other, and they were flanked by two young people with their heads bowed.

"The teachers are against the unanimity, how will he respond?" Qin Wanqing withdrew her gaze from the window and glanced at the young people on both sides. The two young men looked discouraged, and their heads were bowed as if they were mourning.

"is also an outstanding son of the Qin family, why is there such a big difference?"

Qin Wanqing withdrew from one of the young men, sighing in her heart, the last issue of the newspaper Qin Dynasty launched the "Declaration of Consistency of Words", and then the entire academy was divided into two factions, at first it was against the unity of words prevailing, but soon there was an order from above, since then, all written language must be written in the vernacular within a year.

As soon as Cheng Yi gave this order, the unmath student was almost stunned.

Soon, however, the faction that favored the unity of words became excited, and one by one, as if they had won a great victory, ridiculed the opposition to the fullest.

But the good times didn't last long, and soon everyone figured out that it was only the academy itself that used vernacular Chinese, and Cheng Yi and others were resolutely opposed to the use of vernacular for the world and the vernacular for the imperial examination.

The academy has always advocated and argued, but you can argue, but the two young people in front of you, Qin Shengbao and Wang Jinping, fought hard when they got to the back.

"What, don't fight?" Yang Shihu blushed.

Wang Jinping and Qin Shengbao smiled bitterly, with your old man by their side. In this restaurant, how can you fight? But it is even more impossible to let yourself bow to the other party.

"Teacher, we must not move our hands in the future. Wang Jinping said in a low voice.

"Yes, we were wrong this time, and we shouldn't have quarreled rashly. Not again. Qin Shengbao also said, feeling that Qin Wanqing's eyes were a little hot on his face.

"Hmph!" Yang Shi snorted and was silent. Wang Jinping and Qin Shengbao were even more cramped and uneasy, and they didn't know why Yang Shi brought them here, so they just sat down, Qin Shengbao's eyes secretly looked at Qin Wanqing, Qin Wanqing was absent-minded, and looked out of the window from time to time. Just then, her eyes lit up.

"It's coming!"

Qin Wanqing withdrew her gaze from the newspaper girl on the street and looked at Yang Shi: "Teacher, I'll go out for a while." Yang Shi raised his eyebrows, excitement flashed in his eyes, he nodded, Qin Wanqing even went out, and it didn't take long for Qin Wanqing to walk into the box again, grabbing a few newspapers in his hand.

"Teacher. Congratulations!" Qin Wanqing smiled so hard that her eyes narrowed.

"Congratulations!" Yang Shi's eyes swelled with joy, and then disappeared cleanly. He took Qin Wanqing's newspaper lightly, and glanced at Wang Jinping and Qin Shengbao again: "You can also take a copy of each, I guess Qin Xianao will have an article published in the newspaper to see how people deal with the controversy." ”

"Controversy? Qin Xianao should deal with the dispute?"

Qin Shengbao and Wang Jinping showed doubts in their eyes, after all, after the launch of the 'Unanimous Declaration of Words', no one marched or did other actions to oppose this matter. The two connected to the newspaper and flipped through it to find the front page, and couldn't help but be stunned.

"Mr. Yang Shi opposes the hasty implementation of the vernacular. ”

A line of bold bold letters appears in front of the eye.

"Teacher, is this a transcript of your interview?"

"Teacher, congratulations!"

Qin Shengbao and Wang Jinping reacted and said, Yang Shi's face was flushed: "Congratulations, what is there to congratulate." It's just to do your part for this world, read the newspaper, and see Qin Xianao's coping methods. ”

"The teacher is out of the horse, Qin Xianao is afraid that it is a headache. Wang Jinping said with a smile, just looked at it, looked at it for a while, frowned slightly, in fact, Yang Shi's reason for opposing the vernacular, in this controversy in their academy, many people also mentioned those views, but the same point of view, Yang Shi said it more convincingly, people have to believe it, this kind of language art Wang Jinping couldn't help admiring, and even had confusion in his eyes.

"Is the vernacular really not suitable for implementation?"

"Just like Wang Anshi's change, the idea is good, but the conditions are not suitable! And this time the conditions are even worse than Wang Anshi's, and it will be counterproductive to force it......

......

Wang Jinping clenched his fists, and he was a little unwilling in his heart, but Yang Shi's reason was really irrefutable, and it was inevitable to forcibly refute it.

Qin Shengbao looked at Yang Shi's interview at this moment, and his eyes lit up.

"The teacher is amazing!"

"That's right, that's my idea, but Senior Brother Wang doesn't approve of it, so I'm ......" Qin Shengbao didn't praise him. Yang Shi frowned: "Don't talk nonsense, read the newspaper!" "Yes!" Qin Shengbao glanced at Wang Jinping with a smile and smug eyes, and then continued to look down, after Yang Shi's interview, Sima Kang, and Lu Xichun...... One by one, they were interviewed, or published in the newspaper, all of them were against the implementation of vernacular literature, and they were all very good, and this newspaper surprisingly did not publish "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", rereading history, and other columns, all of which were aimed at the reform of vernacular literature, and an article appeared at the end of the opposition of everyone.

"Suggestions for the Solution of Several Problems in the Improvement of Literature (1)"

It's-

Qin Shengbao's heart jumped, and he even looked at the author, and sure enough, he signed 'Qin Xianao'.

"How will Qin Xianao deal with those problems?" Yang Shi's eyes also fell on this article at this time, his heart was both excited and a little nervous, he had dealt with Qin Xianao so much, Yang Shi didn't believe that Qin Xianao didn't have a backhand.

Saw:

"The article is eternal, involving the strength and rise of the nation, negligence, I and Wang Xianggong proposed cultural improvement, it is precisely to let the world's people of insight and people with lofty ideals focus on this......"

"Mr. Yang, Mr. Sima, Mr. Lu and other people mentioned the difficulties and unsuitable conditions, I can synthesize them into two major articles, seven small articles, seven small articles are all diseases of mustard ringworm, insignificant, but these two major articles, if not crossed, will inevitably make the vernacular Chinese replace classical Chinese self-defeating......"

There are undoubtedly many difficulties, but as long as we are willing to think about it and find a way to solve it, there is always a way. ”

"The first big question here. Vernacular writing is laborious, laborious, and costly, and I have prescribed two medicines, one of which is called 'Text Transformation'......"

Text makeover?

Yang Shi frowned, and the following text is about the most basic purpose of the text, which was actually mentioned by Qin Dynasty and Wang Anshi in the last issue of the newspaper, which is not new. But—

"The fewer strokes there are, the simpler the structure, and the easier it is to be remembered, so we can create new ......."

"New words?" A sneer appeared at the corner of Yang Shi's mouth: "This Qin Immortal Ao is playing more and more, but he can create a fairy Chinese language, no wonder he has this idea, but this world is not something you can pinch as you want." Yang Shi shook his head in his heart. "I don't know how this Grand Duke Qin wants to innovate the text this time, won't he directly bring his immortal Chinese?" Yang Shi looked at the newspaper——

"The language of each nation naturally has its own characteristics, and I am not in favor of directly copying the Chinese of the gods and goddesses to use ......."

"I thought we should create new words like the ones that have them now. But the number of strokes had to be reduced to the extreme......"

"Arithmetically, there are more than 150,000 ways to arrange ten different symbols, so it only takes three strokes to create enough text ......"

......

Three strokes can create enough words to use, Yang Shi glared.

How is this possible?

Yang Shi was almost a little stunned, after all, mathematics was not very developed at this time, and the algorithm of permutations and combinations, if Yang Shi wanted to delve into it, he didn't know it, but he was not Shen Kuo. After reading these words, he naturally didn't know that the Qin Dynasty was not lying at all.

"Three strokes is impossible, but this is what Qin Xianao said. It stands to reason that the surname Qin could not say such childish words, and ...... "Yang Shi looked at the sentence 'There are more than 150,000 ways to arrange ten different symbols', and this sentence was even more unreasonable.

Taking a slight breath, Yang Shi forcibly looked down.

"There are 26 letters in the fairy Chinese language, and the number of words in the fairy Chinese, do you know how many?"

"When my ancestor was in the Immortal Kingdom. The calculations have yielded an incredible answer, with less than 10,000 common words but more than a million real words. ”

"Million?" Yang Shi's hand trembled.

The Qin Dynasty actually directly brought up the English of later generations, and then because of the Internet. With the advent of the information age, the number of English words had increased to more than five million by the time of the Qin Dynasty, and of course it was impossible for the Qin Dynasty to write so exaggeratedly.

"You heard you right. The newspaper continued, "It's a million, not a hundred, and the number of new words is still increasing by one per tea time, but the government of the Immortal Kingdom is not worried about the number of letters not enough......"

Yang Shi glared even more and let out a long breath.

Undoubtedly, the previous sentence that three strokes can create enough text to use is not a mistake made by the newspaper typographer, nor is it a mistake in the text.

"This Qin Immortal is proud ......" Yang Shi shook his head, and then looked down:

"Of course, it is not an easy task to create a more easily learned text, nor is it a trivial matter, I think that we need to establish a Greater China Co-prosperity Circle, and the creation of words should not only be done by ourselves, but also Dali, Liaoguo, Xixia, Tufan, Goryeo, Fusang, ......."

Yang Shi blinked.

"Bring the Liao State, Goryeo, and Western Xia in, and work together to carry out vernacular literary reform?"

"Let's innovate words together, what kind of Greater China Co-prosperity Circle, this Qin Xian is proud ......"

"Is this really his article, will no one play tricks behind his back?" Yang Shi strongly doubted, he pinched his nose and finished reading this paragraph.

"There is no rush to create new texts, so I have a compromise here, which is to simplify the existing texts......"

"The principle of simplification should be generally 'state but not do', 'conventional, steady progress', that is, to use the simplified Chinese characters that have been popular among the people for a long time, only to collect and sort out and make necessary modifications, and not to make words without authorization. ”

"And I have seven specific methods here:"

"1. Use ancient characters that are simpler than paintings, such as 'from', 'many'......"

"2. Cursive italization. Such as 'specialized', 'east', 'soup'......"

......

Gradually, Yang Shi's eyes shone brightly.

Later generations of simplified Chinese character reform is not smooth, there are also a lot of bad, wrong, Qin Dynasty naturally can not take those mistakes to deal with, this set of simplification rules can be said to have been perfected, there are no objections and controversies of the scheme to use, this is a practical test, excluding all kinds of absurd, chaotic and uncomfortable scientific simplification scheme.

Therefore, although Yang Shi subconsciously picks thorns in his heart every time he looks at a sentence, the more he picks thorns, the more surprised he becomes, because he can't pick out the real thorns, and if he forcibly says it is inappropriate, it is a strong word.

"Definitely!"

"To be able to make the plan so perfect, except for Qin Xianao, it can't be someone else's. ”

"This article must have been written by him, but those 10 symbols can discharge 150,000 kinds of ......," Yang Shi thought, "and according to him, although it is very operable, it is not a small project to really make all the simplified characters...... Hey, this is ......" Yang Shi's eyes widened, because a table appeared below-

"In order to avoid trouble, I tried to make a superficial simplified text list with my insiders, and asked you for advice!" and then there was the "Simplified and Traditional Chinese Character Comparison Table" that was successfully implemented in New China!" (to be continued. )
