Chapter 54 If the people are wise, what if?
Gao Tianlai took a deep breath.
"You mean half-talking?" Gao Tianlai said slowly. The reform of ancient literature is not a pool of stagnant water in ancient times, but there have been occasional progress, such as the reform of the eight masters of ancient literature, such as Bai Juyi's advocacy that poetry should be written so that children in the market can understand, but all this is only a slight change to the ancient text, and many times it is to make it not go to the extreme of difficult and obscure.
"No, it's completely vernacular, i.e. what we say verbally, we write as we say. "The Qin Dynasty is categorical.
"You mean stop at fiction?"
The ancient vernacular also appears in society, but only occasionally in some scripts, and in stories, even then, it is half-white and half-literal.
"Definitely. The Qin Dynasty simply explained directly, "The vernacular I speak is not a small scope, but refers to everything that uses written words can be changed to spoken language." ”
"Everything?"
"Whatever is written is changed to spoken language?"
Gao Tianlai, Feng Xiaowan, Lian Miaoyu, and Yuwen Rouniang were completely stunned by the madness of the Qin Dynasty.
For generations, it is not without the masters that some obstacles to classical Chinese have been perceived, but even if they change, they are only small-scale improvements, and even some novels pay attention to the semi-ancient in order to show learning.
Why only minor changes?
Could it be that others are not as smart as you Qin Shengchao.
First, this is enough, classical Chinese can allow readers to communicate, poems to pass on to the world, handle all government affairs, win respectful status, and even leave a name in history, there is no urgent need to change.
Second, the impact of this matter is too great, and the reason why scholars are superior to others. One thing is that in this classical Chinese, an article is written in the vernacular and in classical Chinese, which is different. Vernacular essays will make people look down on them and feel very earthy, but after the classical Chinese is written, connoisseurs will see that the writing is brilliant and the righteousness is transparent. The layman can't read it after reading it, so he naturally feels extremely profound.
People have always been like that.
If you don't understand it, others can understand it, so you can admire it.
If they don't write classical Chinese and only write vernacular, the class status of the entire scholar will fall from the Nine Heavens to the earth at once, and they will not be much higher than ordinary people, because they just know a few more words than others and understand some of the great truths of, after all, although literacy is also difficult. It's not huge. Like Qinjiazhai, most of the warriors are literate, but why they respect real scholars is because they are also literate, and real scholars can read those obscure ancient classics and know many truths that others don't know, and they are just literate.
If those ancient classics were translated into the vernacular, they would be able to understand them, and even comment on them, thinking that the reasoning here was wrong. Where is it farting, where is it taken seriously and even worshipped?
The Buddha makes gold clothes, and people rely on clothes. In some aspects, classical Chinese and Buddhist and Taoist scriptures use all kinds of strange hidden words and secret words, which are the same as letting people pretend to be forced to improve the status of readers.
If you think about it, it's a matter that affects the face of the entire reader. Now you're going to break it with a hammer. Who will agree, who will support? No one will support it, and no matter how loud you shout slogans alone?
But—
Gao Tianlai calmed the ups and downs in his heart.
Abolish classical Chinese, only take vernacular Chinese, if someone else says this, she directly thinks that person has a brain disease.
But the Qin Sheng Dynasty ......
Entering the palace three times in half a year, the nature is evil, the nature is empty, plus "On Qi" and "Rational Qi Huone...... So many achievements in a short period of time......
"Young Master Qin, I want to know the reason!" Gao Tianlai said in a deep voice.
"What are words used for?" Qin Chao said in a deep voice, "Back then, Cangjie created characters and used it to inherit wisdom and open up the wisdom of the people, but—"
"'Learn and excel!'"
"'Let the people make it, but not know it!'"
"'Fear the destiny of heaven, fear of the great, fear of the words of the saint!'"
"'Revenge has been repaid for benevolence'"
……
"It's all fart!" Qin Chao said violently.
Gao Tianlai and Mingyue's faces were a little ugly, and the Qin Dynasty criticized 'learning and excellence'. The people can make it ...... from it' and so on are mostly sentences in Confucianism. Wang Zhao'er couldn't help but chuckle. Qin Chao glared at her: "Don't be happy, Confucianism is like this, and there are few other families who can be good at themselves and inherit the words of wisdom, but they are used by these so-called sages to fool the people, I really don't know if Cangjie would be so angry that he would crawl out of the coffin if he knew about it." ”
"'Good gifts, good use!', do you think that except for the scholars, those craftsmen, mud legs, and merchants are all sluts?
"Wrong, in your eyes, they may be sluts and fools, and if they are literate, they will make the whole society unstable, but I am the opposite, I think that only by digging out them, the wisdom of the whole society's three hundred and sixty lines, and each line, can we be saved, and the whole world can be saved, and the foolish people just let the emperor sit comfortably, and the people of the world will suffer......"
Listening to the words of the Qin Dynasty.
Gao Tianlai's face became more and more ugly and disappointed.
"Why do you advocate vernacular?"
"This is liberation, liberation of words. Only when the written word is easier to understand and the language and the written language are more closely unified can it be accepted by the general public, better disseminate wisdom, popularize prosperous culture, and emancipate the mind ......"
"Time to comprehend obscure classical Chinese should be put on the real avenue of heaven and earth......"
"We don't have enough time, we have to learn and study too much in this world, and we can't put our time on meaningless ......."
……
After a long time, Qin Chao finished talking about his reasons.
"Qin Gongzi, let me ask you, if most of the people in the world have mastered the words and wisdom, will the world be peaceful?" Gao Tianlai said in a deep voice.
Qin Chao raised his eyebrows.
"That's right, it's likely that the world is really in turmoil, if the people are wise, if they are powerful, they will inevitably ask for more, and they may not settle down to be a small people, and the world will be in chaos from now on. ”
"Then why do you want to treat the lives of the people like ants for the sake of the so-called longevity formula?"
"Fairy Gao, let me ask you, without the turmoil and rain in the martial arts world, would the Great Song Dynasty be full of smoke today?" Qin Chao said in a deep voice. Gao Tianlai raised his eyebrows slightly. "No, although Wang Anshi's reform failed, the court of the Great Song Dynasty was riddled with holes, and there were occasional incidents among the people. There are occasional storms, and even natural disasters**, but the entire Great Song Dynasty is still deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. ”
"Fairy Gao is so knowledgeable. Qin Chao clapped his hands, "That's right." The Great Song Dynasty will not fall, unless other countries invade, then I ask you why it will not fall?" Gao Tianlai frowned slightly, and the Qin Dynasty had already said to himself: "Because of the situation! Because the concept of the Great Song Dynasty being seated by the Zhao family has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. "Gao Tianlai raised his eyebrows, the word 'potential' in the Qin Dynasty was used very well. "I'll ask you again. Qin Chao muttered. "If everyone is wise today, will the Great Song Dynasty fall?"
Gao Tianlai's body trembled.
"Yes, if the people of today can read and write, and can read through the classics, will they be anti-Song?" Gao Tianlai stood stunned for a long time, and shook his head bitterly.
"I don't feel like it. ”
"That's right, it is impossible for the Great Song Dynasty to fall, this is also because of the potential. The Qin Dynasty said in a deep voice, "If the wisdom of the people is enlightened, the world will be in chaos." That's not because the people are restless because they have gained wisdom, but because the situation has changed and the imperial dynasty has run out, which has nothing to do with whether the people's wisdom is turned on or not. ”
Gao Tianlai fell into deep thought, Cihang Jingzhai studied the general trend of the world, and had the most say in this aspect, so naturally she would not be easily deceived, she thought for a long time, and looked at Qin Chao: "Maybe, you are right." But...... Even if you say that you want to open the wisdom of the people and liberate the minds of the people, let the sleeping lion of the people wake up, and exert the strength he should have, but the vernacular literary movement. It's useless for me to promise, it's useless for me to support, but it will plant me in it. ”
"Really?"
A strange smile appeared at the corner of Qin Chao's mouth, vernacular literary reform is actually not only in China, in Japan it is called Wenyan Uniform, that is, I write by hand and I speak. In North Korea, South Korea, Thailand, and most parts of Asia have undergone de-Chinese character reforms, and China is in a period of social turmoil, with foreign powers pressing the border, internal uprisings, and warlord scuffles, so the abolition of the imperial examination can be successful, while other Eastern countries are also beaten by the West with science and technology, dizzy, and even colonized, to succeed.
In this era, you are going to abolish the Chinese language.
How do you let the countless people who have made the imperial examination and the official as their life's work to deal with themselves? It can be said that almost 100 percent of them will be resisted by all those in power, even if the emperor himself is responsible for the reform, not to mention which emperor will support it?
"That's right, ordinary support really doesn't have much effect, but the world is in chaos, or what if you have real power and the imperial power is in charge of it yourself?"
Gao Tianlai shook his head: "Now that the world is peaceful, where will there be chaos? I can't help you take the real power you want." ”
"Fairy Gao, don't tease me. Qin Chao said, "Although I don't have your kind of intelligence network that covers the whole world, and I can find out the dynamics of clues in various places, I also have brains." In less than 60 years, the aura will collapse, and the secret of immortality has not been cracked for millions of years, but it will be able in 60 years? Once the secret of longevity cannot be cracked, when the time comes, the innate masters will no longer be high, so the innate forces will have to disintegrate, in this situation, which innate force will not pave the way for future survival and not seek benefits for future generations? Under this kind of struggle for power and profit, do you really think that the world will not be in chaos?"
A wry smile appeared in Gao Tianlai's eyes.
Feng Xiaowan also giggled: "I said Fairy Gao, Duan Gongzi is not so easy to deceive. ”
As congenital masters, especially some grandmaster-level, and even innate masters who are about to take that step, each of them is a nuclear bomb, and it is a great threat to any country in the world, how can such a person be subservient to ordinary people? Therefore, there is an agreement between the innate sect and the court, to be precise, it means that the innate sects of each family and faction control the court to do things for them, they only live behind the scenes, and they do not need to govern the country, but they can enjoy everything and study martial arts with peace of mind.
But as soon as the aura is dispersed, all the flying and killing martial arts will disappear. At that time, it will be the other way around, it is the court that is powerful, and they have become ordinary people, and they can only let the fish and flesh go, so no matter which innate sect it is, they are now secretly moving, arranging their real people into the court power structure, and if they can, they will try to seize as much real power as possible, so even if they are not born in the future, they can still enjoy everything if they have real power in their hands. This kind of thing, even if they don't join the WTO, Cihang Jingzhai who wants to 'sacrifice the small self and complete the big self' is also preparing in secret, but they are not so anxious.
Where is the new distribution of power so easy, now it is under the suppression and control of Cihang Jingzhai and the Yin Sect, and the matter is not so urgent for the time being, the various factions have only slightly reined in, and there is no major shooting, but even so, Wang Gong was caught off guard by the cold of another faction in his family, if it wasn't for the appearance of the Qin Dynasty, everyone would have died.
The Qin Dynasty knew that it would not be long before these dark tides could not be suppressed and turned into violent storms, and the whole world would fall into chaos again.
Gao Tianlai smiled bitterly.
"That's fine. Her eyes flashed, "I promise you to try to convince the ...... in the door."
"It's not as much as possible, it's necessary to ......"
"It's useless for me to promise, I'm ...... in the door," Gao Tianlai said.
"Hmph!" Qin Chao snorted, sat down on the ground, and said like a scoundrel, "If you don't agree, I won't accept treatment." "Look at his scoundrel. "Flutter!" All the women couldn't help laughing, Gao Tianlai held back the smile on the corner of his mouth: "Okay, I'll take you to the door, I believe they should agree to your thing, but we must wait until the world is really in chaos before we will help you implement the vernacular ......"
"It doesn't have to be, you can get started now. Qin Chao said in a deep voice.
"Now?" Gao Tianlai, Feng Xiaowan and the others all looked at the Qin Dynasty. (To be continued.) )
