Chapter 201: The book is written in the same text, the words are spoken in the same language, and the words have the same meaning
The next morning, Fan Zeng and others went outside the Daqin Palace to accept the security check from the guards and prepare to enter the palace.
There are more people today than yesterday. Most of the more than 3,000 candidates are here. They are very interested in Li Nian compiling new characters and compiling teaching materials. Even if they cannot participate in it in the end, they come to take a look. It'll be cool to see what happens.
Actually, it is not good to summon so many people to the palace. Too many people may cause trouble. It is best to set the gathering place outside the palace. Li Nian proposed, but the First Emperor did not agree.
Ask Li Nian to meet these candidates somewhere outside. What if something goes wrong?
These candidates can be lost, but Li Nian's safety must be completely ensured, and there must be no mistakes.
However, Li Nian judged the First Emperor's belly with a villain's heart. He felt that the First Emperor, in addition to considering his safety, was also worried that he would slip away after he got outside.
Fan Zeng and others had been to the palace yesterday, but the candidates who came today were here for the first time. They felt very strange, but they felt that the Qin Palace was different from what they had imagined before coming...
Is this place really the Qin Palace?
Before coming, they imagined that the Qin Palace was the residence of the supreme emperor in the world. It should not only be grand and grand, but should also be exquisite and elegant.
But the place they arrived at now went beyond these two descriptions, giving them an indescribable weirdness that was not at all what the Great Qin Palace should look like.
Fan Zeng and others also felt the same way. The style of this place was very different from the Daqin palace they saw yesterday.
This is clearly a construction site or workshop. The paper and the jade-like object were all made here?
For Emperor Qin to agree to change the palace to this, it shows that Li Nian is trusted by Emperor Qin.
You are young and talented, and you have the trust of Emperor Qin. If you let him go, you will definitely make great achievements.
In the area where Liuying Palace is located, a large area has been transformed into an industrial park. The first industrial park in Da Qin was actually built in the Imperial Palace of Da Qin.
Nowadays, the area under the jurisdiction of Liuying Palace is still expanding, and nearby palaces are also being demolished.
Because there will be more things to be added later, such as the place where texts and teaching materials are compiled, and where Li Nian will teach in the future.
But if the expansion continues like this, sooner or later this place will become the industrial and cultural and educational center of Daqin.
Fan Zeng and others arrived at their destination. Due to the large number of people coming this time, Li Nian did not receive them in the palace, but outside the palace.
When everyone enters the venue, they will be asked by the waiter here which school they are studying, and then they will be given a wooden sign corresponding to the hundreds of schools they answered, and they will be led to a designated area to sit down.
Fan Zeng held the military wooden sign in his hand. He could see Li Nian’s intention. He could not only see which school the candidates came from, but also see clearly which school each candidate came from. The number of people in the family school will also facilitate discussion later.
At the same time, it also showed that what Li Nian said last night was true. He really wanted to use hundreds of schools of thought to compile the textbook.
There was a high platform standing in front of them. There were guards on and off the platform. It was obviously where Li Nian was going to speak to them later.
Not long after, after all the candidates had taken their seats, Li Nian climbed onto the high platform under the escort of a group of guards. Looking at the people in the audience, Li Nian saluted and said: "I am very happy that you are willing to come today, so I would like to thank you all."
Everyone returned the courtesy: "Young Master invites you, and the invitation is for the sake of the world. How can we not come?"
After the salute was completed and everyone sat down again, Li Nian He said directly: "Today I invite you all to come to Come here, there are two main things: first, compiling new characters; second, compiling teaching materials. Please listen to me first. If you have any questions, please wait until I finish!"
"The reason for compiling new characters. , you all understand, so I won’t say more here. The important thing is that while compiling new characters, we must also set the writing rules, pronunciation, and meaning of each character, that is, 'the same text as the book', 'the same language as the word', and 'the same meaning of the character'."
"From then on. After that, no matter where people come from, they can say They speak the same language, use the same words, and know the same meaning. Instead of today, I am from Guanzhong, you are from Wu, and he is from Zhao. They have different pronunciations, different languages, and different characters, which greatly hinders communication. ”
As soon as these words came out, many people sitting in the audience were shocked: what Mr. Li Nian wanted to accomplish was even bigger than they thought. Meaning and pronunciation of words.
If this thing can be done well, it will undoubtedly be an extremely great achievement. The same pronunciation and the same meaning in the world can reduce disputes a lot.
But this matter is also very difficult. Some people immediately wanted to ask questions, but they thought that Li Nian had to listen to him first, and if they had questions, they had to wait until he finished speaking, so they held back.
Li Nian continued: "Li already has an idea about the new characters to be compiled. You can take a look at it first. The quantity is not large. Please circulate it to each other and do not damage it."
Following Li Nian's words, everyone saw the chamberlains coming over with a stack of paper and distributing it to those sitting in the front row.
Candidates sitting in the front row, such as Fan Zeng, who sat at the front of the military school, took the paper handed out by the chamberlain and saw at a glance that there was a type of writing on the paper that he had never seen before.
This kind of character does not belong to any kind of characters today. Compared with various characters today, it is more regular and concise, but it looks dull in shape and lacks flexibility and elegance.
But for a kind of writing to be spread to the world, being smart and elegant is not the first priority. What is important is that it is simple and easy to learn and can convey meaning. This kind of neat writing is just in line. It is easier to deconstruct and find out the meaning of writing. Regularity is both convenient for teaching and learning.
Fan Zeng saw the advantages of this type of writing at just one glance. There were Qin seal scripts on the paper, which were obviously the characters represented by these characters in Qin seal scripts.
The characters on these papers are modern simplified characters. Li Nian copied them one by one and compared them with Qin Zhuan.
If you want to spread modern simplified characters in this era, you must first mark the corresponding characters of each simplified character at this time, so that people can know what this simplified character is.
Using modern simplified characters as the "wen" in "Shu Tongwen" instead of using Qin Zhuan and other Six Kingdoms characters: First, simplified characters have been tested in practice and are indeed more accurate than other characters of this era. Easy to learn and easy to use;
The second is that Li Nian comes from later generations and is used to simplified Chinese characters. He wants to move to The same goes for the knowledge and technology of this era. Instead of using simplified Chinese characters and using Qin seal script to copy and transport the content to later generations, the efficiency is terrible...
Thirdly, if the other six countries’ scripts are abolished and Qin seal script is used throughout the world, it will make the world Some people were dissatisfied, but they would not use Qin Zhuan. They would feel much more comfortable if they used a new writing style.
Everyone was even more shocked when they saw the modern simplified characters on the paper. If this kind of characters were created by Mr. Li Nian alone, his talent would be amazing!
This is an unparalleled genius. Only the scholars and ancient sages can rival him, right?
I never thought that they could live in the same era as such people.
