Chapter 343: What do you want when you are born in this world? Use books as your life ears!
Cheng Miao said: "Dr. Qin, Brother Wang was just angry for a moment and had no such intention. I had already met with Brother Wang at the last grand gathering of the world, and at the meeting, we even discussed that when I get out of prison
When we come out, we will create a "Book of Characters" together."
Then he looked at Wang Cizhong and said: "Brother Wang, I know you have complaints against Qin Duo, but this moment is not the other moment. We don't want to be officials at all, how can we get involved in the world's right and wrong again? I am a human being.
I am already old, and I am afraid that my soul will return to heaven and earth soon. How can I continue to be depressed?"
"The world's writing is complicated, chaotic, and uncivilized. If we can create the "Book of Characters", wouldn't it be a blessing to the world? Then our life in this world will not be considered in vain."
"When you and I were born in this world, what do we want?"
"But the book is my life!"
"Now that we have such a good opportunity, you and I can realize our long-cherished wish, and we can do it to heaven and earth. Why should one's own heart disease be alienated from the civilization of the world?!"
Wang Cizhong looked a little ugly and said coldly: "I just don't want to serve Qin."
Cheng Miao smiled and said:
"Is this serving Qin?"
"The writing that Qin promoted was Qin's seal script, and what we want to summarize and sort out is official script. The two are fundamentally different. How can we come up with an explanation for serving Qin?"
"Besides."
"It is our great wish to take books as our life."
"Now that the world has returned to Qin, won't everything we put in our hands still fall to Qin? If we insist on insisting on this, we will only live a completely mediocre life. I know that this is definitely not the ambition of Brother Wang. I don't care about Qin's politics this time.
I don’t care about Qin’s law, I just want to make one thing clear.”
"The Cizhongs asked themselves, has there ever been a king in the world who paid so much attention to writing since ancient times? Since the founding of the Qin Dynasty, it has been the leader to change the rules and standardize the world's writing, which is why the grand and far-reaching reform of writing was carried out when the Qin Dynasty was first established.
"
"I was a Qin official and know a lot about this."
"Before the new dynasty was established, the reform of the writing system had already been put on the agenda. Its purpose, strategy, text identification, writing paradigm, etc., have all received the emperor's attention and instructions many times. However, something happened suddenly and I will not be able to do it in time in the future.
After informing you of this, I was imprisoned, and I have lost contact with you since then, and we only met again a few months ago."
"Time was a bit tight at that time, so I won't have time to elaborate in the future."
"As the saying goes, square characters are the flag of Chinese civilization!"
"What we do is not only for ourselves, but also for the world, and even more for all the people of China. How can we let go of selfishness because of our own stubbornness and narrow-mindedness?"
"also."
"If we want to sort out the world's writing, we will definitely not be able to accomplish it with just the two of us."
"There are so many words in the world, and they are so magnificent and profound. How long can we live if we are over fifty? And except for Xianyang, there is no special calligraphy office in the world. Then we will rush all the way to sort out hundreds of words. Isn't this wrong?
Is it child’s play?”
"But if we get the help of the Calligraphy Bureau, we will be able to greatly speed up the sorting. Perhaps in our lifetime, we will be able to see the "Book of Calligraphy" come out. Wouldn't it be a great blessing in our lifetime?"
Wang Cizhong was silent.
How could he not understand this?
It's just that he really can't get over that hurdle. Although his family fortune has declined and he has been in trouble for half his life, he has not clearly seen the situation in the world. The world is becoming more and more turbulent. If he serves Qin at this time, wouldn't he be deviating from his original intention? Scholars
Qing Gao, he really couldn't lose his face.
Again.
If the Six Kingdoms were restored and he was still serving Qin, wouldn't he have to be poked in the bone by others and be ridiculed and scolded constantly?
Wang Cizhong's expression kept changing.
Cheng Miao continued:
"Brother Wang, maybe I don't know."
"At the last gathering of scholars, I mentioned to you the suggestion of compiling the "Book of Characters". In fact, it came from Dr. Qin. If Dr. Qin had not awakened me, I would still be depressed in prison and not know what I want in my life.
"
"You know my wish."
"This time I will only do work, not be an official. I will leave as soon as I can."
Hear the words.
Wang Cizhong was slightly moved.
He glanced at Qin Luoheng, with a hint of surprise in his eyes, but he did not expect that the compilation of "The Book of Characters" actually came from Qin Luoheng's mouth, and he was indeed very interested in the matter of compiling the "Book of Characters".
Otherwise, I wouldn’t have risked coming to Xianyang at all.
See the situation.
Qin Luoheng also said:
“As the saying goes, where there is a will, there is a way.”
"There is no free lunch in the world. If you want to achieve something, you will have to pay some price. I know you have worries and concerns, but I can tell you for sure that no matter how turbulent the world is, Da Qin will eventually stand firm."
"No matter whether it is the nobles of the six countries or the hundreds of schools of thought, they will never be able to achieve success."
"What they are doing is only for their own selfish interests, while Great Qin is for the sake of the world. Maybe some people will be deceived in the short term, but in the long run, the people of the world will definitely understand who is truly serving the people. And I might as well reiterate it again,
The era of various schools of thought has passed."
"It won't happen again!"
"It was indeed me who proposed the "Ci Shu" matter. As an official of the imperial court, I can actually take the initiative and let the imperial court proceed with this matter. However, the official script has not been formed for a short time and is not yet standardized, and you are not responsible for it.
Everyone in official script has a deep understanding of official script. If you take the lead, we will definitely speed up the process and reduce unnecessary errors."
"The most important thing about writing is accuracy."
"I don't know much about official script. The only knowledge I have comes from Master Cheng."
"Master Cheng once said that what official script requires is eighty percent practicality and two percent quickness and convenience. Moreover, the foundation of official script is to change the pictographic structure of the big seal script and the small seal script, using horizontal and vertical writing strokes as the structure, so that the characters are completely separated from the pictorial form.
"
"I have seen that the official script written by Master Cheng is indeed very simple and fresh, but if it is just like that, I think it is not enough for the world. The goal of the Qin Dynasty from the beginning to the end is very clear, which is to make everything unified!
"
"The simplicity and freshness of the official script is indeed eye-catching, but it highlights the personal style too much. If you are interested, you will not hesitate to use rich ink and color, but the text does not need too much personal style, and the calligraphy does not need to be so magnificent."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "So I made a suggestion to Master Cheng."
"Use a pen!"
"Change the round seal of the big seal script and the small seal script into a square fold, speed up the writing, completely standardize the calligraphy style, and let the characters return to the writing itself, rather than pursuing the so-called beauty. As the Qin Dynasty governs the world, the official script will obviously become more and more popular.
Be taken seriously.”
"even......"
"Official script will definitely become the mainstream in the world."
"If the writing is not standardized, Master Cheng's mistakes will definitely be made again by others. How can this be the wish of the world? Therefore, it is urgent to standardize the writing of the world."
"The Book of Characters is about people all over the world and is by no means limited to one generation."
"What Da Qin wants to create is civilization."
"Right now, we are standardizing the world's writing. In the future, we will also standardize the world's systems. We will also summarize and organize the historical records. The "Book of Characters" is just the beginning. In the future, Da Qin will definitely start to summarize and organize the thousands of years of Chinese culture."
"China should not be just a concept, but a culture."
"Even a civilized spirit!"
Hear the words.
Cheng Miao and Wang Cizhong's expressions changed slightly.
This was the first time they heard the shocking words.
Da Qin not only wanted to standardize writing, but also wanted to standardize culture and organize the world's culture. Then wouldn't there be only one family speaking from now on? And this family can only come from Qin?
Seeing the shocked looks in their eyes, Qin Luoheng said calmly:
"You don't need to be so surprised. This is actually a matter of time. The harm of various schools of thought has gradually become apparent to the world. In fact, Da Qin is not taboo about using the past to satirize the present, using the past to be different from the present, and using the past to describe the present. But I can't help but some people like to distort it.
Facts like to make things out of nothing. Since some people want to make trouble and disturb the world, they will be punished by the imperial court."
"Before those who can read and write can mature, what they understand must come from the hands of the imperial court. As for what they want to see and learn after they reach adulthood, the imperial court will not interfere much. What the Qin Dynasty wants is to be able to distinguish right from wrong.
People are not just people who just want to bring trouble to the world."
"There may be some overkill in it."
“But it’s also necessary!”
"Rather than allowing the world to continue to develop barbarically, it may be more beneficial to the world to impose certain restrictions on the world's scholars. At least there will not be so many people who are bewitched and brainwashed."
"When the route is wrong, the more knowledge you have, the more reactionary you will be!"
"The hand has five fingers, but if you want to unleash the maximum power, you have to twist it into a joint force and scatter it, which is not a blessing for the world!"
"But you don't have to worry too much."
"The Qin Dynasty does not intend to kill the various schools of thought. The culture left over by China for thousands of years is a precious asset. The imperial court will only provide reasonable guidance to the people of the world. In other words, the imperial court will suppress the thoughts of the various schools of thought.
Scatter it, take its essence, and discard its dregs, so as to guide and educate the world."
"Hundred schools of thought will disappear."
"But the thoughts of hundreds of schools of thought will last forever."
Cheng Miao and Wang Cizhong looked at each other, still unable to hide the shock in their eyes.
They were shocked by what Qin Luoheng said.
There has never been a moment when they were so worried and fearful. Qin Luoheng, this person is clearly young, and his face is always filled with youth and kindness, but such a seemingly gentle and elegant person actually said this.
Such creepy words.
Cheng Miao tensed up.
He suddenly looked at the pen, ink, paper and inkstone placed aside, his eyes immediately showed a more horrifying look, and said in a trembling voice: "This ink, paper and inkstone?"
Qin Luoheng nodded.
Dandan said:
"That's certainly one of the ideas."
"Great Qin will not allow knowledge to be in the hands of a few people. In the future, as the cost of paper manufacturing decreases, the imperial court will definitely popularize education so that more people can afford to go to school and read. This is why, I
I will tell you at the gathering of scholars why the Qin Dynasty does not recognize the nobility."
"Because nobles are destined to be abandoned by the times!"
"The pace of Da Qin will never stop. During this period, it will definitely cause a lot of criticism and dissatisfaction, and even arouse great unrest and turmoil at the bottom. But this is the path Da Qin has chosen. There is no turning back when you start your bow. If you turn back...
