Chapter 32 Simple Words



Making bamboo products would leave a lot of yellow bamboo shoots. Wang Zheng stopped them from using them as firewood and threw all the yellow bamboo shoots into the ditch. Now more than ten days have passed.

Wang Zheng had the yellow bamboo shoots that had been soaked for more than ten days fished out and transported back to Jiangxin Island, where they were beaten into pulp. The pulp was then mixed with the yellow paper pulp and filtered out to produce bamboo paper.

Although the paper made in this way is still yellow, it is much harder and smoother and can be used for writing. The key is that it is not difficult to make and can be easily obtained.

After explaining addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, Wang Zheng planned to start teaching them to read. He would basically not teach them mathematics anymore, and everything would depend on them to study on their own. If they were gifted, Wang Zheng could also give them some appropriate guidance.

When you only have one or two acres of land, you will naturally cultivate it intensively.

When you have more land than you can cultivate, you just need to sow the seeds and you will naturally reap a bountiful harvest. You don’t have to worry too much. After all, even if you reap a lot, it will be useless if you can’t use it.

When talking about mathematics, naturally no preparation is needed. Just have a bamboo board to write down the multiplication table. After all, it is something that is often used in daily life, so learning it will naturally be twice the result with half the effort.

"Today I will teach you how to recognize Chinese characters. Before that I will first teach you about the tones and vowels. There are 26 tones, namely ah, bo, ci, de, and ~.

By the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, various types of writing had developed. The First Emperor unified the six kingdoms and made great contributions to the standardization of wheel gauges and writing systems.

Chen Fengning's expression was still a little tangled. "That being said, the steward has taught so many students, they will definitely pass on the knowledge. If one day, they meet those orthodox scholars, isn't the steward afraid of causing trouble?"

"Yes, it is from complex to simple, this is a gradual process. Official script has been used for nearly a thousand years. What's wrong with simplifying it a little bit now?"

The First Emperor regarded official script as a treasure and promoted it vigorously throughout the country, which enabled the Qin government to run efficiently. When Liu Bang gained control of the country, he naturally continued to use it, because official script is simpler than small seal script.

"Lishu is the writing we use today." Chen Fengning thought for a moment and shook his head, saying, "As for why it is called Lishu, I don't know."

There are more than twenty rhymes, namely ~.

At that time, there was a county jailer named Cheng Miao who offended the First Emperor and was demoted to a slave. He spent ten years in prison changing the roundness of large and small seal characters into squareness, and at the same time he simplified the characters and retained the essence. After much processing and sorting, he finally came into being the official script.

"What more can I ask for when my luck is so bad? I have hit my head before I dare to turn over. I walk through the busy streets with a tattered hat covering my face, and a leaky boat carrying wine floats in the middle of the river.

As for the pens, each person could use a chicken feather and several people could share a dish of ink. After all, they didn't pay Wang Zheng tuition, so the conditions were tough.

Wang Zheng said self-deprecatingly, "Because I learned this secretly, I only remember these characters. For some that I didn't remember, I just made them up. Is there any problem with that?"

Wang Zheng, who was sitting in the carriage, smiled and said, "You can tell from the name, Li means slaves, and the small seal script is complicated and not suitable for the urgent affairs of the First Emperor.

After Wang Zheng finished speaking, he drove away laughing in the sunset.

After the show, Chen Fengning looked at Wang Zheng suspiciously and asked, "Why is the handwriting of the steward so different from what I learned?"

Putting these together, there are two to three thousand characters, which are the characters commonly used in our daily life. Once you have learned these, you can generally cope with daily correspondence. "

Those who come here to study are originally of humble birth like me. It is enough for them to learn some arithmetic to support themselves and some of my simplified characters to cultivate their character.

"No, just let them learn simplified characters." Wang Zheng shook his head and continued, "There were no characters in the world originally, our ancestors drew pictures of all things to record events, and the strokes were continuously simplified to form characters.

"What's the problem?"

"Can't the steward teach them orthodox characters? If the steward is incapable of doing so, I would rather serve you as a servant." Chen Fengning said as Duo Wangzheng bowed with a very sincere attitude.

Wang Zheng pondered for a moment, nodded and said, "That's true. I'll explain the whole thing to them in the next class, and tell them not to argue with those orthodox scholars in the future."

Looking at the carriage shaking away, Chen Fengning stood there in silence for a long time.

In that case, what does it matter what I teach them here or what they learn?

Wang Zheng asked back, and Chen Fengning didn't know how to answer for a moment, "Do you want to say that if I do this, I will be despised by the ministers of the aristocratic families, or are you worried that I will be despised by the world for doing this?"

We can just divide it into four.

In the breeze, there was a sound of sonorous singing that was gradually fading away.

This has nothing to do with other people!"

It would not work to continue teaching them to read in a perfunctory manner, otherwise few people would be able to learn anything. For this reason, Wang Zheng got out some paper so that they could copy.

But in my opinion, his greatest contribution is to popularize official script. Do you know what official script is? And why is it called official script? "

From our ancestors drawing pictures of all things to record events, to bronze inscriptions, to large and small seal characters, and finally to the current official script, what do you see from them?"

He was originally a peasant family son, with a humble character. Fortunately, he got the job of manager of the imperial estate. As long as he did things in a way that was worthy of the Empress and his conscience, why should he care so much about other people?

Look, the books written by slaves are not elegant either, but they have been passed down because of their simplicity. Today, all students have to thank Cheng Miao, otherwise, your studies will be even more difficult.

If it is really a peerless masterpiece or profound knowledge, it will be useless even if you learn it. It will only add to your troubles. After all, there are already many people learning those things, but these people do not have others' methods.

After thinking for a moment, Chen Fengning exclaimed, "From complex to simple."

"What if I'm worried or not?

In the first class, Wang Zheng only talked about the outline and handed out yellow paper, asking them to copy the pinyin back and figure it out on their own.

After listening to Wang Zheng's explanation, Chen Fengning was stunned on the spot. It took him a while to react. He caught up with Wang Zheng who was leaving and asked, "Is it okay for the steward to do this?"

I face the criticism of thousands of people with a cold brow, and I am willing to be a cow for the children. I hide in a small building and become one, regardless of winter, summer, spring and autumn. "

Chen Fengning bowed to the coachman, stood up and went back to write in the letter: Although Wang Zheng claimed that he had never been to school and only learned a few things, he was extremely talented.

You can always see what others cannot see, think what others cannot think, do what others cannot do, and you can always get a good result.

This person can always see the point directly, get to the essence of the problem and grasp the key point. He is really a genius.

Now the king is educating the people in Ba, which will surely win a lot of people's hearts. I don't know whether it is good or bad, so please make the decision, my lord.
