According to Li Po's idea, even if the reading habits cannot be changed, at least the format of the memorial should be changed. There is no need to worry about periods and commas. Even if people write articles with some gaps or dots, it will be enough.
.
His requirements are really not high.
Since he started studying, he has been troubled by this problem for a long time, especially his reading efficiency has been greatly affected by it, and he often makes mistakes in reading.
My dear, I have to divide my fucking book into sections by myself, where can you explain me?
He doesn’t quite understand the thoughts of the ancients…
In fact, the reasons are not that complicated. One is that Wei Zheng said that ancient writing utensils were very valuable and would not be wasted easily.
In addition, the pace of life of the ancients was inherently slow, and even today, books are one of the most expensive things in the world. A person who calls himself a scholar will probably not read as many books in a year as those who come later.
Some people may read and chew on a book for several years. In this case, what does it matter whether it is divided into chapters or sentences?
Moreover, what the ancients valued most was not the smoothness of reading, but the context... When you are passionate, you should speak loudly, and when you are wronged, you will feel sad.
You and later people are basically two different creatures. Later, when writing a diary might be ridiculed by others, do you still want people to put their emotions into words? Or is drinking more suitable for everyone to vent?
Moreover, later vernacular Chinese and classical Chinese were fundamentally different.
A preface to Prince Teng's Pavilion has shone through the ages. Why is it so beloved? Because it has artistic conception...
The setting clouds and the solitary owl fly together, the autumn water is the same color as the sky. How do you put it in vernacular, clouds hang on the horizon, a flock of birds are flying in the sky, the sky and the earth are the same color? How can these be the same?
The ancients said that beauty does not require punctuation marks. It is enough to use invisible sentences to break up sentences, and it can also make people immersed in the words. Sometimes what you see in front of you are words, but your thoughts are already flying beyond the sky, wandering leisurely in the sky.
Between the mountains and rivers.
This is the realm that scholars in today’s world are pursuing.
Of course, the pros and cons of both are obvious. Modern people who need to read a lot of knowledge use vernacular Chinese as the need of the times, and there is no need to force a comparison.
The reform in sentence reading is only one aspect.
……………………
Li Po turned his head and looked at Wei Zheng. Although it was getting dark and he couldn't see clearly, he knew that this guy was frowning and thinking about how to shirk responsibility.
Wei Zheng was a native of Hebei, and he was one of the famous officials of the early Tang Dynasty who was later respected by people. He was a very special one, and he was famous for his remonstrance.
But since this guy surrendered, he has been lying down lazily, hugging Yuen Long's thigh tightly and not intending to let go again. Not only has he become the teacher and staff of Yuen Long, but he also wants to follow Yuen Long.
Together they entered the Menxia Province to serve.
Yuen Long was kicked out of Chang'an by Li Po. He lost his backer and was very unhappy in his position as Doctor Jian Yi. He was still distracted in the Tai Chi Hall...
I don’t know if it’s the wrong way to open it, or if there’s something special about Li Shimin’s employment of people. Anyway, this guy doesn’t have the potential to be a famous official next to him, Li Po, and he looks more like a slippery guy who is just messing around.
Since you kicked and moved the place, let's use more force, Li Po thought angrily, and said: "You can discuss this with Sun Fujia, Gao Shilian, Niu Xingyuan and others before proceeding to give advice.
I still have to work hard on things, so what’s the use of you?”
This is a bit serious, and Sun Fuga, Gao Shilian, Niu Xingyuan, plus Du Zhengyuan, Gao Jifu and others were either admonishing officials or censors, and they were all high-ranking officials in the court.
Sun Fujia was half of Wei Zheng's fellow countrymen, a native of Hebei. He used to serve as a law officer in Wannian County and joined the army. Li Po met him when he stopped in Wannian County and felt that he was a talented person. After entering Chang'an, he promoted him to be the chief secretary of the Ministry of Punishment.
, at the beginning of the year, he was admitted to Zhongshu as a doctor of Youjianyi.
At this time, this man was busy selecting candidates for the imperial examination and was one of the strongest supporters of the proposal to reopen the imperial examination.
This is obviously related to his background. He was not from a noble family, so he naturally enthusiastically embraced the imperial examination system.
Gao Shilian is a representative figure of the Luoyang family. He was born in the Bohai Gao family.
His focus is different from that of Sun Fuga, and he is now actively involved in revising the Tang Code.
Niu Xingyuan, Gao Jifu and others served in Yushitai. They were serious court officials. Other affairs were their side jobs. The impeachment of hundreds of officials was their main responsibility, and they would not be influenced by senior officials from the three provinces.
These people all have the responsibility to monitor the officials and enforce discipline. If they can write a letter to express their opinions together, even the senior officials of the three provinces will have to pay attention to it.
Of course, this kind of situation is rare. If the opinions of the officials and the officials are unanimous, it is either the general trend or someone has given instructions. Otherwise, it means that there is something wrong with the political structure of the DPRK and China.
When these words came out, Wei Zheng no longer dared to hesitate, and his mind immediately started working at full speed, "This matter may not seem big, but it is closely related to scholars all over the world, so we cannot be careless.
I think we should start with small things first. It is better to have someone make a model memorial and then record it in the Tang Code. If there is not much opposition, we can try it out in Guozi, academies and other places. Then the people who read it will criticize it.
Outside..."
This may be something to be an enemy of the scholars in the world, to forcefully change the daily habits of the scholars... Oh my god, who was the last person to do this? If you don't do it, you will be reviled by thousands of people and take the blame.
Wei Zheng may not be the only one, but he will definitely be the leader.
Thinking of the possible tragic ending in the future, his intelligence was finally mobilized, and he gritted his teeth and said: "Since the Qin and Han Dynasties, writing has evolved a lot. In the Eastern Han Dynasty, Xu Shenzhi's explanation of words only had more than 9,000 characters, and the fonts are also similar to
It's very different now.
Since the end of the Han Dynasty, various ethnic groups have entered the Central Plains one after another, and the writing has become more and more complicated. It is better to organize it, delete the complex and simplify it, and continue it into a dictionary for the reference of the world.
And the matter of sentence reading can be mixed into it, and in comparison, everyone will be less resistant?"
Li Po nodded happily. Turning a single-choice question into a multiple-choice question was indeed a good way to reform the old system, and things like dictionaries should really be done well.
The Huns, Xianbei and other foreign races have been struggling in the Central Plains for hundreds of years, which undoubtedly brought a great impact to the civilization of the Central Plains, which is reflected in the addition of many "foreign words" in writing.
After the Tang Dynasty unified the world, it was a good time to re-establish the framework of the Central Plains civilization, and writing was the first choice.
So Li Po smiled and said: "What you said is very reasonable. I will leave this matter to you. From this, I feel that the customs and etiquette are also similar to this. Since the end of the Jin Dynasty, various
Due to the quarrels among the clans, although there were many talks of reinstating Han rituals, they were always abandoned halfway.
I don’t stick to this, as long as there are certain rules and they can be followed by others, well, the court etiquette and music should really be clarified, we can’t just do it one way today and another tomorrow, don’t you think so?”
Wei Zheng was really tired. He just bowed and bowed, so he didn't bother thinking about it anymore. He was a doctor admonishing righteousness, so why should he be expected to take charge of the overall situation?
So he flattered him and said: "The Supreme One has the world in mind and has a broad vision, which is beyond the reach of the sages of the past generations."
Li Po laughed and said to himself that you are not bad, you have many clever ideas.
While strolling, Liangyi Palace is already in sight.
Li Po waved his hand slightly, and the people waiting around him immediately moved away.
Wei Zheng couldn't help but feel frightened, there was something he hadn't said yet? He didn't look at the almanac when he went out today, so he was really unlucky... No wonder he felt a little dizzy when he went out this morning. It turned out that there were already signs, so he really should take an excuse to rest for a day.
Li Po said slowly and leisurely: "You have also heard about Minister Yuwen, right? As a doctor admonishing Yi, why do you keep telling me that this is not possible and that is not possible, but I don't see you trying to persuade others? Could it be that you think that he is not good at all?
Is it possible that as a servant of yours, you would not dare to embarrass your officials?"
Wei Zheng secretly wiped his sweat. It turned out that this was the reason. I just wanted to see the beauty, didn't I? There were so many censors in the outer dynasty, and more than one or two heard the news. They didn't say anything. I am a subordinate of the province.
Dr. Jianyi jumped out first, why should he be laughed to death?
He smacked the emperor's tone and felt that Yu Wenshi was in danger.
It is a normal operation in the court for the emperor to give orders to his officials to impeach ministers he does not like. It usually happens to important ministers in the court. Is a minister under his command an important minister? Of course, he is a quasi-prime minister.
Moreover, what happened to Yu Wenshiji can be called a scandal, and the damage to his reputation is immeasurable, and it is not surprising that it will affect his official career.
Lack of personal ethics is also a taboo for officials.
Wei Zheng thought for a while and said: "I did neglect my duties, but it was not because of my power. The minister Yuwen abandoned his wife and son first while his wife was still there, and he did not want to rescue him, so he married another person. His morals are really despicable.
Now he came to the door again to seek reconciliation but was rejected by others. He was walking in a coma, as if he was possessed by a ghost.
There are many people who shame him both inside and outside the court. Meng Lang is such a frivolous person. I thought he would resign in shame, but I don't want to, but I still tolerate it till now.
If all the ministers in the court follow his example, where will the etiquette and law be? If things continue like this, those who pursue wealth and honor ruthlessly will definitely corrupt the atmosphere, cause moral decay, and weaken discipline.
I would like to demote him to leave the court to set the record straight."
Li Po snorted and began to show the hypocrisy of the emperor.
He sighed and said: "Yu Wenren is very talented. He used to be a close friend of the false king Li Shimin and had a lot of trust. I am not afraid of this. I gave him an official position because of his talent. Although the time is short, I can't bear it."
Abandon each other.
Furthermore, since the war, fathers, sons, and brothers have seen each other with swords and swords so many times. Minister Yuwen was also forced by the current situation and had no choice but to do so. He was only seen by the world because his wife was the former Sui Nanyang Princess...
"
After Wei Zheng heard this, he almost vomited blood and felt nauseated.
But the emperor's meaning was obvious in these words. Yuwen Shiji had just been promoted and fell to the ground because of a scandal. The emperor didn't want to slap himself in the face, so he instructed the officials to work harder and force him to come.
Do this.
And the resignation of high-ranking officials in the court is indeed not as simple as a word from the emperor. Otherwise, a high-ranking official who does not agree with the emperor will be dismissed from office. That is obviously what happens when a cowardly emperor is in power...
