Qin Chao smiled.

"When I talk about vernacular reform, you will be shocked and opposed, but what if I want to write a vernacular poem or publish a vernacular novel?

Gao Tianlai raised his eyebrows, and Feng Xiaowan chuckled: "I said Duan Gongzi, vernacular poems are boring, no one reads them, who will be shocked? Even if someone reads it, unless this poem has a great impact, no one will be jealous and gossip, otherwise the ghost will pay attention to you, as for the novel, no one will gossip." ”

"Qin Gongzi, if you write vernacular poems and vernacular novels by yourself, it will not touch the interests of scholars all over the world, let alone disintegrate the imperial examination system, who will care. Gao Tianlai said lightly, "But what good is this for vernacular reform?"

Qin Chao smiled: "You have forgotten one thing, a truly effective language reform must start with the education of children. ”

Gao Tianlai's body was shocked.

"That's right, the best way to not grow grass in the field is to grow vegetables, and if you want to get rid of old books, you have to have new books in the vernacular. Gao Tianlai said in a low voice. Feng Xiaowan also clapped her hands and said with a smile: "I said Duan Gongzi, it seems that you really think about it very well, that's right, it's not enough to just shout slogans, when educating children and cultivating new readers, there must be a large number of vernacular classics that can be compared with those hundred classics as textbooks, and this reform can be regarded as being able to continue, otherwise, you will still go down the old road and use ancient Chinese, it seems that you mean that you must first prepare vernacular classics that replace classical Chinese classics, but ...... How do you do that?"

Lian Ruyu, Mingyue, Wang Zhao'er, and Yuwen Rouniang also looked at the Qin Dynasty, and after thousands of years of classical Chinese and the accumulation of countless sages, there is now such a large-scale classic library.

How can the vernacular succeed if it were to replace it?

"I don't know if you have seen "Wulin Wind"?" Qin Chao was lying on the ground, looking like a hanger.

Feng Xiaowan smiled: ""Wulin Wind" is so famous, how can we not have seen it, I heard that this is also Duan Gongzi's masterpiece, giggles, Duan Gongzi has a lot of bad water in his head." ”

"Young Master Qin. There is no vernacular on this "Wulin Wind", and it is not too ......," Gao Tianlai said, and suddenly her eyes lit up slightly, as if she thought of something. "You mean, run a ...... No, no......"

""Wulin Wind" I call it a newspaper, it is engraved on wax paper with an iron pen, and then printed with ink. Qin Chao said.

"Oh?"

Gao Tianlai and Feng Xiaowan thought for a moment. The wisdom of the two immediately understood the truth, and they couldn't help but raise their eyebrows. "The iron pen and wax paper are written, the paper is concave and convex, and the ink is good for the printing plate, Qin Gongzi is really whimsical. Feng Xiaowan said with a smile.

Qin Chao said: "This method is extremely convenient, so the labor cost of printing newspapers in this way is extremely low, and the speed is extremely fast, so "Wulin Feng" can be published one after another, in a very short time. Guy's cost is pitiful. ”

"Low cost?" "The cost is very low and the speed is extremely fast, which shows that this is very convenient, very convenient, and does not cost much money, if it is used for commercial ...... The women's eyes sparkled.

"As you might have guessed, I'm going to start another newspaper. Qin Chao said in a deep voice, "This newspaper is used to solicit articles from the world. ”

"Call for papers?"

"This call for papers must be in the vernacular to be accepted. ”

"Oh?"

Gao Tianlai and Feng Xiaowan glanced at each other, who didn't want to be famous in the world at this time. The most important thing to be famous in the world is to have articles, but it is extremely difficult for Su Shi and others to publish books, let alone ordinary people, but if there is a way for them to become famous in the world. Who doesn't want to.

"Qin Gongzi is a good idea. ”

A glimmer of light flashed in Gao Tianlai's eyes: "In this way, I'm afraid that everyone in the world is rushing to submit articles and want to show their reputation." ”

"Hmph!" Feng Xiaowan pursed her lips, "Fairy Gao is too optimistic, if it was an ancient article like before." Indeed it is. But the vernacular text will be embarrassing, and no one may be willing to contribute. ”

Gao Tianlai was stunned, it is true, after all, the vernacular is a level lower in people's minds.

"No, I don't think so. Yuwen Rouniang said, "There are people in this world who are afraid of losing face, but there are also people who, as Fairy Gao said, are proud of publishing their articles in the newspaper, I think the articles on the "Wulin Wind" run by Brother Qin Dali may not be of a very high level, right?"

"It's worthy of Rou Niang. Qin Chao gave a thumbs up, "Fairy Gao, Sister Feng, even if some readers in this world feel embarrassed to write vernacular essays, but more low-level readers don't have much face, but they will see this opportunity and give it their all, so there is no need to worry about the manuscript at all, and if no one really wants to write it, it's a big deal, I'll write it myself." ”

"You write it yourself?"

Gao Tianlai, Pian Ruyu and others all had strange faces.

In fact, for the Qin Dynasty, vernacular literature is the real old business, and the excellent articles in the Qin Dynasty's mind are hundreds of times more than classical Chinese.

Feng Xiaowan chuckled: "Duan Gongzi is this kind of masculinity that is willing to take responsibility is fascinating, it's just written by you, that's not a small amount, I heard that Duan Gongzi himself is very busy, do you really have time?" "Qin Gongzi, you may not be ......" Gao Tianlai also looked at Qin Chao.

"Rest assured. Qin Chaoerlang's legs were cocked, "I never say something that I am not sure about." ”

"Young Master Qin. Gao Tianlai's face was solemn, "Tianlai has a sentence that must be said, you have to use this vernacular text to replace classical Chinese, and it may not work if you have an article, because the vernacular text is too contemptible, and it can't be a real classic, no one will sell it, even if it is reluctantly implemented, once it can't be suppressed, it will eventually rebound, just like Wang Anshi's change." Speaking of this, she glanced at Feng Xiaowan.

"Can't the vernacular be a real classic?" Qin Chao was very amused in his heart.

In the previous life, when the reform of the New Cultural Movement was not carried out, this was indeed a problem that troubled some people of insight at that time, but it was really done, Zhu Ziqing, Lu Xun, Xu Zhimo, Wen Yiduo, Guo Moruo, Ba Jin, Bingxin, Hu Shi...... Countless masters have emerged, all kinds of literary brilliance are flying, and the righteousness is quite good, or fresh, or elegant, or like Taoism, or magnificent...... The essay is not only essays, novels, reviews, but also poetry, practical essays, and so on......

"After abandoning the so-called ancient rules, what remains is a real return to the roots. ”

Classical Chinese, rhythm, rhyme is sometimes like the packaging of a commodity, many people pay attention to how the packaging is exquisite and gorgeous, only to remove these exquisite packaging, then the manufacturer of the goods has to put their efforts on the goods themselves.

After removing the ancient ornate rules. Language and life are on the upper track, and this is when the article really pays attention to the connotation.

"Fairy Gao, Sister Feng, there is no basis for what you say. Let's give it a try. Qin Chao smiled and said, "You guys come up with a question, and I'll write one for you to see if it's classic enough." ”

"Oh?"

The women suddenly became interested, and it was indeed better to see it with their own eyes, no matter how good they were.

"High Fairy. Let me come up with the question this time. Feng Xiaowan smiled, "I think it's better to let Duan Gongzi write a poem." ”

"Poetry?"

Qin Dynasty's eyebrows jumped, the vernacular has advantages, but the disadvantages are also obvious, the biggest weakness is in the poetry, the poetry itself uses very few words, if it is in the vernacular, it does not pay attention to refining and streamlining, nor does it pay attention to rhyme, one is verbosity. The second is that no one remembers, and the fourth is that it is easy to make the poem transparent, once the meaning is transparent, the poem will be tasteless, what kind of poem is this?

Therefore, there are basically few modern poems that are remembered, even famous poems such as Guo Moruo's "Goddess" and Bingxin's "Stars" are not memorized.

Modern poems are to be remembered, and later they are incorporated into songs, and a poem is the lyrics of a song.

Gao Tianlai, Yuwen Rouniang and others also looked at the Qin Dynasty with a smile. They are also very literary, but they write poems in the vernacular, and they all secretly try in their hearts. But I couldn't help but shake my head.

Feng Xiaowan said with a smile: "This poem has to be written shortly, well, most of the ancient poems are four sentences, so this poem will be set as four sentences." ”

"Four sentences?"

Gao Tianlai, Pian Miaoyu, and Yuwen Rouniang's faces were weird. This is even more difficult.

Qin Chao couldn't help but admire Feng Xiaowan in his heart, unlike ancient poems, it is really not easy to find a good four-sentence modern poem.

"You can only use that one. "Qin Chao flashed a poem "Broken Chapter" in his mind, a classic that even people who have never read modern poetry are familiar with.

A broken branch appeared in Qin Chao's hand, and he drew it directly on the ground.

"You stand on the bridge and look at the view.

The people watching the view are watching you from upstairs.

The moon adorns your windows,

You decorate other people's dreams. Four short words appeared on the ground.

"This ......"

After reading these four lines, Gao Tianlai was stunned, and there was a look of surprise in his eyes. "Broken Chapters" is a poem that is truly popular in modern poetry without relying on pop songs.

This poem is only four short sentences, different people can experience it and perceive different aesthetic implications, there is no unique transparency of vernacular poetry, but it is hazy, the more you read, the more endless aftertaste, and although it does not rhyme like ancient poems, it is very catchy and easy to remember.

"You're standing on the bridge and looking at the scenery, and the people watching the scenery are looking at you from upstairs?"

Feng Xiaowan groaned in a low voice, her eyes full of incredulity.

"It's weird. Yuwen Rouniang looked at the ground, "This poem is obviously written in the vernacular, but I feel no less than an ancient poem." ”

"yes, that's weird. Wang Zhao'er, Mingyue also stared at the words on the ground.

"Several. Qin Chao smiled and said, "The use of vernacular literature in literature does have shortcomings, especially in terms of poetry, this poem is also a clever hand, and I can't read it again when I wake up, so in this newspaper, in the field of vernacular literature, I am not ready to innovate poetry......"

"Vernacular poetry is not as good as ancient poetry?" The five women looked at the Qin Dynasty strangely, and wrote the poem "Broken Chapter", but said that the vernacular poetry is not as good as the ancient poetry, but they also knew that this was what the Qin Dynasty could write, and it was not so easy to replace them. Feng Xiaowan's eyes suddenly lit up: "Duan Gongzi, you have to convince us that vernacular literature can also produce classics, this poem is not good, you have to write a few more poems, this time you have to write a little longer, I think I have to have dozens of sentences, right?"

"I'm not good at this vernacular poem......" Qin Chao said.

Wang Zhao'er clapped her hands and shouted: "Master is right, how can you write a song, and if you can write one, you will definitely be able to write it again, anyway, you must have prepared for any vernacular literary movement you want to engage." Qin Chao frowned. "Qin Gongzi, you might as well try again?" Gao Tianlai was also curious, one is a coincidence, but if there are many songs?

Qin Chao smiled bitterly, broke the branch in his hand and walked the dragon snake again.

"This heartbeat day has finally come, and your night sigh is like an asymptizing footfoot......"

This one is He Qifang's "Prophecy", which is a masterpiece in hazy poetry.

"Waiting for you, in the rain, in the rain of the rainbow......" is a masterpiece in the afterglow.

"Gently I go, just as I come gently, I gently beckon, as the clouds of the western sky......" Xu Zhimo's "Farewell Kangqiao".
