Prime Minister of Great Qin

Chapter 78 Masterpiece! (for collection)

heard.

There was a strange look in Wang Cizhong's eyes.

He looked towards the stone wall, but when he saw it for the first time, he paused.

Cheng Miao looked at Wang Cizhong, and said with emotion: "We used to claim to be the creator of writing, and we thought we were ahead of the world, but now it seems that we are just blindfolded. There are many capable people in the world, and we still underestimate the people in the world after all."

Wang Cizhong smiled wryly, nodded and said: "You're right, this person has a solid foundation in official script, and has even become a whole of his own. Now we are still sticking to changing the pictographic structure of the big and small seal script, changing the circle into a square. The official script has long been structured with strokes, horizontal and vertical, simple and clear, and has a unique charm."

"I'm so far behind this person!"

The two sighed a few times, refocused, and looked at the official script on the stone wall.

They have been working full-time for these years, leading the affairs of text reformation.

When the Great Qin ruled the world, there were at least seven forms of Chinese characters, and the writing methods of officials and people were even more complex.

It means that the speech is different, the writing is different, and the calligraphy is different.

Because of this.

Text restructuring is inevitable!
In the end, the officials of the Character Survey Office, based on Qin characters, changed the characters of the six places, and finally determined the strategy of writing the same text.

Xiaozhuan is the foundation, and official script is the supplement.

Xiaozhuan is an official document, a book, and a contract, and its effect is to facilitate confirmation.

The official script is supplemented, and its effect is quick and convenient.

However, although Daqin used Xiaozhuan as the official script, Xiaozhuan is a historical script, and it cannot be written without a solid foundation in writing.

Since the Great Controversy, the world has unanimously begun to simplify the characters, mainly for the convenience of writing.

Then various Zuoli (official) books were born.

That is official script.

However, due to the different characters and habits in different places, the simplified official scripts are also different, and the characters are jumbled and disorderly.

After the Great Qin ruled the world, hundreds of officials were selected from all levels of government to form a character survey office to determine the benchmark of characters and sort out the historical context of characters. A uniform standard written form.

Over the years, the officials of the Character Survey Office spent a lot of time and energy to sort out all the characters in the world.

However, there are differences in the number of characters in various places, rich and thin expressions, and complicated and simplified forms, so there are actually great disputes within the Chinese Character Survey Office.

In the end, it was Cheng Miao who overcame all arguments and made it clear that official script seeks practical results, and should be based on speed and convenience.

Since then, the official script has established the foundation of horizontal, flat and vertical.

But even if the stroke structure is determined to be horizontal, flat and vertical, and the turning pen is used as the pen movement, the text reformation is still full of difficulties, and even almost stagnated.

How to unify the Paradigm character system?What is the standard?

There are so many characters in the world, how to determine the number of words in official script?Will all the assigned characters be used as official script, or only a part of them, or only common characters?Writing all of them is too much work. If only a part is involved, how to divide them, discard those words, and keep those words.

Again.

It is the difficulty of style.

What exactly should the official script look like? Is it lined up one by one, or compiled into a certain style? Is it easy to read or write?On which side?
All these and so on are quite controversial.

Sometimes for the horizontal and vertical of a character, the officials of the character survey office will fight for a whole day.

Therefore, although the official script has been established, the writing is still disordered.

The rules are chaotic.

Now seeing the official script that has been freed from all kinds of shackles, Cheng Miao and Wang Cizhong couldn't help but feel delighted.

a long time.

Cheng Miao straightened up, and said solemnly: "This man's calligraphy is strong and flexible, simple and clear, with both meaning and shape between the lines, and at the same time, the context of the text is not lost. This man's official script has reached perfection. If I guessed correctly , his attainments in official script are unprecedented."

"The official script he wrote has its own set of purposes, strategies, writing assignments, writing paradigms, and a clear set of writing regulations."

"The messy and disorderly official script that I and others sorted out is completely different."

"This person is a master of official script!"

"Compared to this person's attainments in official script, I can only be regarded as a child learning to speak."

Wang Cizhong nodded in agreement.

The two looked at each other and smiled, not only did not feel ashamed, but instead developed a heart of inquiry, just like hearing about the former master.

At this time.

Cheng Miao looked at Ying Teng and asked happily, "May I ask Zongzheng, who wrote the writing on the stone wall? Can you recommend it for me?"

Ying Teng shook his head numbly, "No."

"Why?" Cheng Miao frowned.

Qi Ji coughed lightly, took the initiative to take over the words, and said awkwardly: "Cheng Miao, you don't know, this stone wall came from the prison of the Yushifu, and the person who wrote it was buried in the weedy beach of Weishui a few days ago. I have the heart to recommend it, but I really can’t do anything.”

heard.

Cheng Miao's expression froze.

Wang Cizhong's smiling face also instantly darkened.

"He was among the gangsters in the past few days?" Cheng Miao still couldn't believe it.

Qi Ji smiled wryly and nodded.

Cheng Miao's complexion changed, and he finally sighed, "It's really ruining civilization."

"With the help of this person, or with the help of this person, the official script will definitely be able to achieve great success and go a step further. It may not be possible to get rid of the constraints of the auxiliary script and form a system of its own, but there is nothing to do."

Cheng Miao's eyes were no longer bright.

He was now at a loss for words.

Ying Teng glanced coldly at the stone wall for a few times, but he didn't know why Cheng Miao and Wang Cizhong reacted so strongly to Ji Heng's words, but there were some things that were inconvenient for the outside world to know, so it was impossible for him to reveal the secrets.

even.

He also felt a little vigilant in his heart.

He asked: "Now that you have seen the stone wall, can you accurately judge the meaning of the words written on it?"

Cheng Miao let out a long sigh, and said: "Although the official script written by this person is completely separated from the pictographic system, it does not break away from the original historical context of the writing."

"It's not difficult to identify."

Ying Teng raised his forehead slightly, and looked at the other officials of the surveying office standing in the hall, his eyes moved slightly and said: "Everyone also go to get a copy of the bamboo slips, and translate the contents on the stone wall in Qin Zhuan, carefully Verify transcript."

"When the transcription is complete, hand it over to me."

"If there is no difference between each other, I will hand it over to old doctor Xia."

"It's about a prescription for saving the world, so please don't mind it." Ying Teng bowed to Cheng Miao and other officials of the Chinese character survey office.

Cheng Miao and the others replied, "We must do our best to fulfill our duties."

They knew Yingteng's intentions.

But don't care.

What's more, this is a prescription, even if it is a fraud, it still needs to be verified by Xia Taiyi and others. Only after the verification is successful, these prescriptions will be included in the palace medicine classics. How could they do anything unnecessary?
The hall was quiet.

Cheng Miao and the others were completely immersed in the writing.

When the officials of the Chinese Character Survey Office finished all the translations, there were some differences between them. After some debate, everyone in the Chinese Character Survey Office finally reached a consensus.

Then he handed over the translation to Ying Teng.

At this time.

Cheng Miao still couldn't help asking, "Zongzheng, may I ask who left the words on the stone wall?"

Ying Teng glanced at Cheng Miao, and said two words casually.

"Ji Heng!!!"
