Chapter 1926: Read the archived manuscript
“The long book will be read piecemeal, but when the time comes, the flowers will bloom neatly.” Zhou Zhi has discovered that Mai Xiaomiao’s understanding of Chinese characters is not systematic, and some rare characters are not well understood. , so teach her to read first.
“Books, paintings, and masterpieces, these three words are always confused by me.” Mai Xiaomiao stuck out her tongue, but she was honest: “I don’t recognize the characters Hua and Qi when they are written like this.”< br>
“Well, Chinese calligraphy has existed for thousands of years. From a calligraphy theory perspective, The scripts that appeared in later generations can use the structure of the previous scripts. This leads to the writing method of regular script being inherited from bronze script, seal script, and official script, so there are often more than ten ways of writing a character."
< br>"So many?" Mai Xiaomiao was startled.
"That's not much." Zhou Zhi's interest in popular science came again: "There is an important collection in the Palace Museum called Kangxi Wanshou Zun. It was burned by Jingde in the 52nd year of Kangxi for Emperor Kangxi's 60th birthday. , including two weeks on the lips and seventy per week Seven characters, one week at the edge, forty-eight characters, seventy-three weeks on the abdomen, one hundred and thirty characters per week, one week at the feet, forty-eight characters, a total of..."
"Exactly ten thousand characters! "Mai Xiaomiao's mental arithmetic ability is super strong, and she reported it in one bite.
“Well, these ten thousand characters are all longevity. After identification by our software, we found that these ten thousand characters actually contain a combination of one thousand glyphs, and each glyph is written with ten characters. All over."
"How is it possible? Even a thousand of them would be terrifying!" Mai Xiaomiao was speechless: "Theoretically, no. Maybe creating so many glyphs for one text is too much redundancy!"
"Your idea is to consider the value of text from the perspective of information carriers," Zhou Zhi said with a smile. : "But Chinese characters are different. In addition to their value as an information carrier, they also have unique aesthetic value."
Zhou Zhi pulled out a heavy picture album from the wall and turned to one of the pages: "Here, this is the Great Master."
"Of course, it is indeed as you said in the Chinese characters, it is impossible to have such a There are many words for "longevity", but this can't stop the craftsmen." Zhou Zhi said: "There are some in it. These characters were actually created by the craftsmen themselves. In addition to using various variations of the seal script longevity character, they also turned bird and insect seal scripts, tadpole scripts, stone drum scripts, bronze scripts, and even mountains, rivers, clouds, wind, rain, thunder and lightning, and stars and eight trigrams into "Shou"
"In addition, there is also a part that uses auspiciousness. The auspicious pattern, and even the combination of words such as Wan and Qianqiu, also constitute the image of the word longevity."
"The ancient Chinese characters originally had pictograms and meanings, so this combination does not violate it. The ancients finally worked hard to construct these thousands of characters for longevity. "
"Of course, this is just a special case. Chinese calligraphy is the same as literature. 'Writing seems to look at the mountains but not the flat'. It pays attention to change and hates repetition. Therefore, this approach of 'one word with multiple types' is actually It is to avoid repetition in calligraphy creation. ”
"For example, if there are several floral characters in a calligraphy work, it can be written in a different structure to avoid monotonous repetition and make the overall work richer."
"This kind of 'backup' method is used in It is also used in literary genres. Generally, a plain tone word can always be found A oblique word can express the same meaning, such as running and running, swimming and swimming, high and high, wide and wide, etc. This ability is often used in poetry creation and parallel prose, in order to take care of the beauty of the rhyme. "
"It's so complicated." Mai Xiaomiao shook his head.
“It’s actually not too complicated, right? This is the unique advantage of our Chinese language and a unique luxury of our Chinese nation.” Zhou Zhi smiled and said: “Previous scholars thought this was an ancient Primitive, but after my research, I found that this is an advanced nature. In terms of density, Chinese characters are undoubtedly the largest, and the greater the density, the less information length we can use to carry more information content. This is very obvious in the information age, and we can save more space and transmission time. ”
“It’s just a matter of mastering this kind of big information secret. It takes more time to learn Chinese characters, so to say which nation values knowledge the most, we cannot just look at the number of college students, but also look at the proportion of the country’s financial investment in education and each family’s investment in education. expenditure ratio, and what kind of text language is used, it seems It is also a proof. Our nation started a little late, but if this trend continues, in another twenty years, there will be almost as many college students per capita." Zhou Zhi said, Mai Xiaomiao was a little confused: "Although I think you are a bit biased. But I can’t tell you, so I guess you’re right.”
Zhou Zhi smiled: "Let's talk about this on the wall. This is a stylistic form called couplets. The meaning of these two sentences is that when you have many things to do, don't forget to read and study, even if you use the fragmented time , It is also beneficial to learn bits and pieces without a system.”
“As long as you accumulate. When you are tired enough, you can still bloom beautiful flowers like flowers when they are in season."
"That's it...Is this how you learned so much messy knowledge?" Mai Xiaomiao? He tilted his head to look at Zhou Zhi, as if he was facing an object worthy of serious scientific research.
"The main reason is that my hobbies are too diverse and I am not as focused on one as you are." Zhou Zhi shook his head with a wry smile and took out a small stick from a paper box on the small stool under the couplet. On the top, insert it into the obsidian green glazed string-patterned earthen bowl.
The room was suddenly filled with a faint fragrance.
"Your working environment is such a joy." Mai Xiaomiao sighed: "It's just a waste of time to prepare in advance."
Zhou Zhi added water to the pottery plate on the table and put it on the stove Adding carbon to the bottle, he poured a bottle of turbid Yijiu that he brought upstairs into the copper stove to heat it up, and took out some melon seeds and peanuts from the clay pot on the bookshelf and put them on the table. He was ready to start the gathering. Stove to make tea.
“It’s a long night, so you can have both work and entertainment.” Zhou Zhi shook out something from several paper jars on the wall: “This is a rose, this is longan meat, this is mulberry, this is Raisins..."
Shake those ingredients into the rice wine simmering in the copper pot, and add a piece of yellow rock sugar into it: "Okay, let's get to work! If you're hungry and tired, turn around and take a rest. Rest!”
Mai Xiaomiao had already smelled the fragrance of flowers and fruits wafting out of the copper pot, which was mixed with the fragrance of incense sticks. She couldn't help but feel a sweet feeling in her heart: "I'm afraid that I won't even know how tired I am when I work like this!"
Tonight’s work is actually quite simple. It is to create a new work group in the office system and at the same time check and accept the resources that have been allocated to the laboratory.
“This does not need to be built by hand.” Mai Xiaomiao looked over and saw Zhou Zhi typing on the keyboard, and pushed Zhou Zhi away with his own chair: “There is code for building work groups in the open source area, just copy it and use it. ..."
Damn, how do you, a new employee, know this? Zhou Zhi secretly complained that although this hacker did not cause any damage to the group, it seemed that he knew a lot of things.
Sure enough, after the code was moved over, the work group was automatically set up. The next step was to fine-tune the work structure and fill in the people according to the personnel list. It was relaxing and enjoyable.
As a result, Zhou Zhi expected that it would take him a whole night's work. With Mai Xiaomiao's help, it took him just over half an hour to finish it. Zhou Zhi looked at Mai Xiaomiao and said, "What's next?"
"Continue Come down..." Mai Xiaomiao clicked her chin: "Aren't you writing a book? As for me... please show me the manuscript of your novel. I can't wait for it to be serialized!"
