"Your Highness, you write very well."
Xiao Fan praised that the calligraphy had reached the perfect level of a master. Xiao Fan could now appreciate Qin Xuan's calligraphy more clearly.
Qin Xuan's level is indeed very high, much stronger than before. He would never be able to reach the master level even if he practiced blindly for his entire life.
"Xiao Fan, can you tell good from bad?"
"You are very good at writing poetry, but your calligraphy is just average. I will find you a teacher later so you can practice well."
Qin Xuan chuckled.
He was quite confident in his calligraphy. At the age of 20, his calligraphy had reached the master level, and there were only a few people in the entire Tianlong Empire who could do that.
Xiao Fan's heart moved and he said, "Your Highness, my calligraphy is actually quite good. It's just that I'm creating a new font, and I haven't spent much time practicing the current characters."
The official writing of the Tianlong Empire is somewhat similar to the characters of ancient China, but there are also significant differences.
If the ancient Chinese characters could be popularized in the Tianlong Empire, he would feel much more at home in this distant foreign country.
“Creating a new font?”
Qin Xuan looked at Xiao Fan in disbelief.
The Tianlong Empire has a special academy of literature in this area, but it can only make improvements to the original font bit by bit.
"Um."
Xiao Fan nodded slightly. "The Tianlong Empire is vast, and many places have different scripts. Moreover, no one in each place submits to the others."
Qin Xuan nodded: "Some places used to belong to different countries and different ethnic groups, and they had their own writing systems."
"Even if they were incorporated into the Tianlong Empire, it would be difficult to unify the writing system."
Xiao Fan smiled and said, "So I thought, what if there is a completely new and better writing system? If we change everything, they won't object."
"They may even go all out to gain an advantage."
Qin Xuan thought for a while and said, "In the final analysis, it is actually a matter of interests. They will suffer if they are asked to switch to official documents."
"If everyone were to switch to a new script, starting from the same starting point, many people would certainly be happy about it. But how easy is it to create a new script?"
"The country has tried this before, but they all failed."
“Words are the carriers of culture and cannot be created casually.”
Xiao Fan's eyes lit up. Has the Tianlong Empire ever tried it?
That means his idea is entirely possible.
"Your Highness, can you please take a look at the few words I'm going to write?"
Xiao Fan smiled.
Qin Xuan made room for him: "You come here. This is the finest wolf hair brush, the paper is the best tribute paper, and the ink is the top spiritual ink."
Xiao Fan's calligraphy had reached the perfect level of a master, and he had touched the threshold of artistic conception. He picked up the brush and quietly brewed for a long time.
“As Heaven moves forward, the gentleman should constantly strive to improve himself;
The earth is in a low position, and a gentleman carries all things with great virtue."
Xiao Fan wrote it out quickly, and a majestic momentum rose into the sky. Xiao Fan felt as if he had broken through a layer of window paper.
He has a deeper understanding of calligraphy and artistic conception.
"Um?"
Qin Xuan stared at Xiao Fan in a daze.
His calligraphy is at the master level, and it can be clearly judged that Xiao Fan's calligraphy was originally at the master's level of perfection, but he made a breakthrough after writing this sentence.
"Master of calligraphy!"
Qin Xuan couldn't believe it.
He always thought that Xiao Fan's calligraphy was average, but he didn't expect that right in front of him, Xiao Fan's calligraphy actually broke through to the master level.
He knew Xiao Fan's age, only half a year older than him. A twenty-year-old master of calligraphy, Qin Xuan felt like he was dreaming.
Immersed in the mood of breakthrough, Xiao Fan didn't wake up until a while later.
"Your Highness, I didn't expect you to break through at this moment. My apologies."
Xiao Fan said quickly.
Qin Xuan shook his head: "Seeing the calligraphy master break through to the calligraphy grandmaster is also a good experience for me."
"I don't understand what you wrote, but I can sense a sense of greatness. Literature carries the message, and your handwriting does that."
The literature of the Tianlong Empire carries the truth. "Tao" does not only refer to principles, but the text must also be able to carry the truth of heaven and earth.
"Write the word 'kill' for me to see."
Qin Xuan ordered.
Xiao Fan had just written a sentence, and he also wanted to see whether Xiao Fan's individual words could carry the way of heaven and earth.
"kill!"
Xiao Fan pondered for a few seconds and quickly wrote the traditional Chinese character for "kill".
His calligraphy has reached the master level, and he can better integrate artistic conception into the font. With the word "kill", Qin Xuan felt a strong murderous intent.
"Good, very good!"
Qin Xuan's eyes showed joy.
"The characters created by some people in the Tianlong Empire back then were simply unable to carry such a powerful artistic conception, but your characters do."
"And your handwriting is square, which makes it look more beautiful."
"Xiao Fan, how many characters have you created?"
Xiao Fan smiled and said, "Your Highness, I have already created most of the characters. It should take a year and a half at the fastest, or three to five years at the slowest."
Qin Xuan looked at Xiao Fan in surprise.
He thought that Xiao Fan had only created a small number of characters and it would take a lot of time, but he didn't expect that Xiao Fan had already created most of them.
"Xiao Fan, if I become emperor in the future, and I approve of the characters you created, I will promote them throughout the country."
Qin Xuan's eyes showed excitement.
If he could unify the writing system of the whole country, it would be a great achievement for him, and it would surely be recorded and praised in history books in the future.
With a unified writing system, communication between different regions will be more convenient, the integration of various ethnic groups will be accelerated, and the entire country will be more united.
The benefits here are hard to describe in a few words.
"Thank you, Your Highness."
Xiao Fan said calmly.
He doesn't need to create the characters at all, he can write them all out now, but he certainly won't do that before his strength improves.
