Chapter Fifty-Eight: The Same Kind of People
"Categories" is a very short work in Aristotle's "Instrumentality", and soon, Qin Xianao finished serializing, and Duan Haifeng lived up to expectations and released his "Explanation" as scheduled.
"This is the explanation?"
"Awesome, it's only been a few months? This Haifeng actually really learned the fairy Chinese and can translate it very well. Hey, how does it feel similar to "Categories"?"
"That's right, if I hadn't known in advance, I would have thought it was Qin Xianao's translation. ”
"Almost? If you read it carefully, it's changed a lot. ”
......
Explanations are very similar to categories in terms of writing, writing, words and phrases, etc., but when you actually read them, many people feel that they are more difficult than categories. However, everyone also knew that this difficulty might be the original case of the Immortal Kingdom books, so it could not be said that Qin Xian won or lost this time in the competition.
Time passes.
Duan Haifeng's "Explanation" was completed.
The first volume of Liu Qin's "Pre-Analysis" was completed.
The second volume of Qin Xianao's "Pre-Analysis" is finished.
The first volume of Duan Haifeng's "Post-Analysis" was completed.
......
If the "Category" is still relatively easy to understand, the "Explanation" is a bit troublesome, and the "Analysis" is a bit of a headache, and the overall serialization is more difficult and obscure the further it goes, of course, this is also relative, as long as you really calm down to read and study, these can still be understood, after all, Aristotle's "Instrumental Theory" is not difficult in philosophy at all.
and the original history of Aristotle's writings after the Ming Dynasty was introduced to China, no one cared about it. Being despised by scholars is different, this time whether it is the martial arts world, or the ordinary class. A lot of people are crazy about researching, learning the content of these books, and making it fashionable, and the effect is significant.
At the foot of Zhongshan Mountain, Jiangning.
An old man sat on a donkey, driving slowly on the road, holding a large newspaper in his hand, as if reading.
"Hello Xianggong Wang!"
Occasionally, someone on the side of the road saw the old man and saluted respectfully.
Wang Anshi seemed to be thinking about the newspaper with all his heart. ignored the salutes of others, and others did not think of it, and Wang Xianggong remembered something. They often fall into a kind of world of their own, and they will not be sensitive to external affairs.
The donkey swayed all the way to a temple.
"Sir. ”
The servant next to him touched Wang Anshi: "It's here." ”
"Oh?" Wang Anshi woke up like a dream, got off the donkey path and entered the inner house, and soon there was a big tree in a courtyard in the temple. Tea is boiling. Opposite Wang Anshi sat a monk with an immortal wind bone.
"Master Juehai, you just came back from Tianchan Temple, and I heard that Master Yuanzhao Zongben is also in Tianchan Temple, so you should have met him, right?"
"I'm late. Zen Master Jiang Shan Juehai shook his head slightly, "He was already about to leave when I went, I just met with him, said a few words, and asked the master what he thought about the "Theory of Tools" thrown out by Qin Xianao and others. ”
"Oh?"
Wang Anshi's eyes suddenly sparkled: "Master Zongben's insights have always hit the nail on the head. Straight to the essence, I don't know what he thinks?"
Zen Master Juehai smiled slightly.
"Lord Wang. I'd like to hear your opinion now more than what Master Somoto thinks. ”
"You're still the same. Wang Anshi smiled dumbly, "You want to hear my opinion, I also want to hear your opinion, I remember Qin Xianao's "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" Zhuge Kongming and Zhou Yu on the timing of the defeat of Chibi Cao, each wrote a word in the palm of his hand, and showed it to each other at the same time, we might as well ......" Juehai Zen Master smiled even more happily: "Lord Wang has this elegance, how dare I not accompany him?" Soon the four treasures of the study room were placed, the ink was studied, and the two sat with their backs to each other, each writing a line on the paper, and then turned around and put it on the table in front of him at the same time, only to see Wang Anshi's side:
"Qin Xianao and I are the same kind of people. ”
Zen Master Juehai is: "Qin Xianao is doing the same thing as you. ”
Both of them were stunned for a moment, and then laughed heartily.
"The master also thinks that Qin Xianao is initiating a reform. Wang Anshi's brows flashed, and his mood seemed to be particularly happy.
"This person is no less bold than you Wang Jiefu, you dare to risk the world's condemnation to carry out reforms, why doesn't he dare?" said Zen Master Juehai. Wang Anshi smiled: "Qin Immortal is arrogant and rampant, coupled with a subversive demon king Duan Haifeng who is afraid that the world will not be chaotic, I am afraid that there is really nothing they dare not do, but I don't know what Master Yuanzhao Zongben thinks?"
Master Zongben seemed to be a little hidden, and he didn't want to say more. Zen Master Juehai said, "When I met him at that time, I had already serialized Duan Haifeng's 'Explanation', and I remember that Master Zongben said that Qin Xianao, or Duan Haifeng's doing, was 'transcendence'. ”
"Beyond?"
Wang Anshi's eyes fell on the table: "Now the world seems to be prosperous, but in fact it has come to an end, the prosperity of things is declining, the old man wanted to save the sky with the power of one person, after all, the manpower is limited, even people like Sima Junshi and Su Dongpo can't see through it, sink into it, hinder my reform, let it fall, how can I talk about anything else?"
"Can he surpass?" Wang Anshi muttered to himself.
"Lord Wang, I also asked Master Zongben what kind of transcendence it was, and Master Zongben said that the level of Qin Xianao and Duan Haifeng was already above him. ”
Wang Anshi's expression froze.
"Master Zongben thinks that Qin Xianao and Duan Haifeng's level has surpassed him?" Wang Anshi's eyes flashed with surprise, according to Master Zongben's wisdom, Wang Anshi admired it very much.
"I was also surprised at the time, Master Zongben just smiled and said that the path that Qin Xianao and Duan Haifeng were going to take was different from that of the sages, and the path they took might be right. ”
"The path is different from that of the sages?" Wang Anshi was surprised again.
"Lord Wang, this Qin Xianao is really interesting, he made a name for himself with twenty words, and then except for the vernacular poem, the poem in the novel "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", there is no other half of the poem, but he runs a newspaper, he uses the vernacular for this newspaper, instead of using more beautiful literary language, don't you think it's very strange here. ”
Wang Anshi's eyes flashed.
"He is a martial artist, if he is just to attract talents from all over the world, he only needs to run a newspaper, and the newspaper is written in Chinese, no need to use the vernacular, advocate the vernacular. Wang Anshi said, "Originally, I couldn't guess why he used the vernacular, but now there is something." ”
"What?"
"A unified declaration of punctuation. Since the Qin Dynasty said that punctuation would be used, all articles in every issue of the newspaper have been punctuated since then, so that it is indeed easier to read than before.
If a newspaper like this was written a few years ago, it would be a thick book, and an ordinary reader would have to learn it for dozens of days, or even years.
And it takes a long time for Wang Anshi to read through, but now, with a glance, it won't take long to read it, how can this efficiency increase be dozens of times?
These are brought about by the vernacular on the one hand, and punctuation on the other hand.
"When the punctuation marks first came out, I was a little confused. Wang Anshi squinted, "But this "Tool Theory" article is serialized in one issue, and the more I read it, the more I find that the narrative in it is very interesting. ”
"What do you mean?" said Master Juehai as he poured a cup of tea.
"Well, this "Theory of Tools" seems to be easy to read, but it is not easy to read through and understand, especially the further you go, the more entangled it becomes. Wang Anshi said that his old eyes were shining, "What does this mean? Why do you still have a headache when you read it in the vernacular?" "Tool Theory" is reading headaches, which is naturally not Wang Anshi himself reading headaches, but ...... Wang Anshi looked at the servant not far away.
Same as Luoyang City.
An Ning is also up and down, young and old, rich and poor, as long as they are literate, they like to read newspapers.
Wang Anshi is now in seclusion and mingles with ordinary people, and naturally knows that although these ordinary people also like to study "Tool Theory", a large part of them feel a headache when they read this article.
On the one hand, classical Chinese is longer than the literary style, on the other hand, it is the same as the Taoist Tibetan and Buddhist scriptures, which is vague, in order to achieve the purpose of blurring and making people unable to read, the Taoist scriptures even use hidden language, and the Buddhist scriptures are directly transliterated into Sanskrit.
In this way, those who can read the Buddha, Taoism, and Confucianism will naturally be superior to others, and such scholars and scholars will be able to enjoy the reverence of those foolish people and unconditional obedience.
But now......
"To tell a truth in the vernacular that everyone can understand, even if you talk about the extremely simple and useless doctrines that Qin Xianao and they threw out, without playing any word tricks, it can also make people feel unfathomable, then to talk about the truly useful learning that has been applied to the world will naturally be more unfathomable, and the study and narration of such truths can be beneficial to the world and for future generations. Wang Anshi's eyes flashed with a fine light, since the recent issues of the newspaper were published, he felt more and more aware of Qin Xianao's purpose in throwing out this set of 'doctrines'.
But I'm not sure.
Now I listened to the comments of Master Enzhao Somoto.
"Don't play tricks, let people really spend their minds on learning, this ...... It should be the purpose of Qin Xianao, Duan Haifeng and others, and this ......"
"It is also the reason why Master Yuanzhao Zongben said that Qin Xianao and Duan Haifeng have already surpassed and have taken another path. ”
"It may be that Qin Xianao and Duan Haifeng have reached an extremely high level, and they have found that even if they don't play tricks, their true knowledge is extremely high and unfathomable. ”
......
Wang Anshi stood up under the tree: "Master Juehai, Wang has a feeling, so he will leave." ”
"Do you feel something?" Zen Master Juehai looked at Wang Anshi.
"I'm going to write. Wang Anshi was full of energy, this kind of radiant and high-spirited situation was still when Wang Anshi wrote the "Book of Words of Emperor Shangrenzong" and when he entered the court to preside over the change of the law.
"Writing?"
"I want to submit a manuscript to the new youth, not a literary manuscript, but a vernacular manuscript. Wang Anshi's voice was hearty.
"Give a white script to the new youth?" Zen Master Juehai stared roundly.
Soon Wang Anshi sat on his donkey and swayed back to his home. (To be continued......)
