Voyage of the Stars

Chapter 97
As a leader, Yue Yuan naturally realized this.

After all, as early as 3000 years ago, the First Emperor, who ended China's feudal system and created a centralized system, had already recognized the importance of unifying the spoken and written language.

Yes, it was the First Emperor who ended the feudal system, not the First Emperor who started it.

Because as early as when Yue Yuan was young, the textbooks he studied had already redefined feudalism based on China's own development context.

The so-called feudalism literally means sealing land and establishing a country.Like the Zhou Dynasty, it was feudalism to divide the world and let each vassal state establish a state. Since the Qin Dynasty, it has been a centralized system or a system of prefectures and counties. Of course, it can also be called an imperial system, but it is not a feudal dynasty anyway.

In fact, if he hadn't communicated with Yi Kai frequently, Yue Yuan wouldn't even know that in Yi Kai's time, there was such a thing as positioning the feudal system for more than 2000 years after the Qin Dynasty.

Yue Yuan is not blind about history, but he is not a history major after all, so it is normal not to know this kind of thing.

According to Yi Kai, that definition at that time was actually misled by mainstream Western academic circles, who copied the city-state system there and applied it to themselves. Later, as China returned to its historical position, scholars who became more confident in their culture slowly Slowly grasped the right to speak, and then modified these things according to his own situation.

At this moment, Yue Yuan glanced through the dozens of pages of the proposal and found that there seemed to be some room for optimization in terms of the legal provisions in the proposal.

So he said: "In terms of laws and regulations, you'd better consult legal experts. Since this matter has to be done, it must be done well. Language and culture are the treasure trove of human civilization, and its value cannot be Measured by material standards, the language of a race reflects the characteristics of the race. It not only contains the history and culture of the race, but also contains the race’s views on life, lifestyle, and way of thinking. It may be done overnight, but you will probably be busy for a long time after the draft is passed."

"Don't worry, Chief, we will definitely do a good job in it." Several people said in unison.

They obviously understood what Yue Yuan meant.

What Yue Yuan spoke was not just Chinese character language, but also extended to other languages.

"Language and culture are the treasure trove of human civilization." This means that they should not only do a good job in the Chinese language, but also sort out the various languages ​​​​of previous humans, because their previous languages ​​​​and cultures are the treasure trove of mankind.

Of course, sorting out other languages ​​does not mean implementing multilingualism in human society in the future, but sorting out and storing them in human databases.

Because language contains ways of thinking, people who speak different languages ​​must have different ways of thinking, so it is impossible to truly become a country.

Therefore, the First Emperor more than 3000 years ago wanted to have "books with the same text". However, because each language contains different cultural information and ways of thinking, the First Emperor could not let the writing of the Six Kingdoms disappear.

So there was a move to gather the books of the Six Kingdoms in the Qin Palace. This was done to prevent the linguistic and cultural diversity of the Six Kingdoms from completely disappearing.

However, the Chu people pitied the scorched earth with a torch.

Actually, this matter is quite difficult and the workload is heavy.Due to the nature of Callisto and the suddenness of the disaster, there is not much language information in the base database.

You don’t need to learn these languages, but try your best to include them in the database. After all, they are all human cultural heritage, and these things may be useful when analyzing alien languages ​​in the future.

Seeing that the matter had come to an end for the time being, Yue Yuan said: "Okay, then you can go back first and improve the proposal before the voting meeting begins!"

As he said that, he looked at the time and found that it was already quite late. He originally wanted to learn about the specific details of controllable nuclear fusion technology at the Institute of Physics, but now he was interrupted by Lu Xiaofen and a group of language workers. It seemed that he could only wait for another day.

However, it was precisely because of this interruption that Yue Yuan realized the importance of cultural construction.

Time passes day by day.

Half a month later, the revised "Several Draft Recommendations on Language Standards" proposal successfully passed the review and vote at the voting meeting, and then came to the announcement stage.

Because most of the people of Hope are Chinese, this policy of standardizing and rigorous Chinese characters has received great attention and has gained broad support among the people of Hope.

Especially when the blocked words were completely cancelled, countless people took out their old wine that had been stored away for many years to celebrate.When I was drunk, I yelled about how the literary prison was finally over.

"Hahaha, old gun, you can go away now." A netizen @called his friend in the family and friends chat group. He happily used the word 'go' instead of the word 'run' as before. replace.

"Eat shit!" The person known as Lao Pao immediately replied in the group. He could also blatantly use the word 'Shit' instead of 'Xiang'.

And 'Run' and 'Xiang' have finally returned to their original meanings.

"Do you have some culture? You can't order anything else besides these?" The netizen immediately condemned the old man's use of the word "shit".

"Why not? Let me recite a poem for you: Stop and sit in the maple forest at night, the frost leaves are as red as the flowers in February!" Lao Pao sent a verbal reply.

Another group member bubbled up directly: "I really have you!"

"Not to mention, this time those language experts finally did something practical. They actually realized that it is better to block than to open up. Haha, I finally don't have to worry about using the Sherlock Holmes code to communicate with you in the future." Another person in the group has been divers for many years. My friends also got excited.

"What kind of understanding, if you ask me, they have actually known this truth for a long time, but it was just before"

Similar conversations like this can be found everywhere on the Hope intranet. Most of them are words to express one's feelings, but there are also some that go too far.

These people directly picked up the communicator and sent a bunch of text that could only display *** to their friends of the opposite sex to express their inner resentment for many years.

After the efforts of the language workers, there was a wave of language craze aboard the Hope.

The joke is not nonsense, and the adaptation is not random.

I know this is a long-held vent, but after all, this trend is very undesirable.The original intention of this proposal by language workers is not to turn human civilization into an existence full of foul language and Internet pornography.

So after this craze appeared, the Propaganda Department once again played to their strengths and began to guide this phenomenon from a moral perspective.

The Propaganda Department is well prepared because this kind of problem has been foreseen by relevant scholars during the proposal voting stage.

Indeed, such a proposal is a double-edged sword, but humans are not afraid of it just because it is a double-edged sword. After all, when it comes to double-edged swords, technology is still a double-edged sword.

Blocking is worse than sparse.

When mentally retarded becomes a shielded word, wisdom takes on a new meaning.

The humans on the Hope didn't want to end up using Sherlock Holmes to communicate secretly, so they chose to implement this bill.

The key to a double-edged sword is how the person holding the sword uses it.

The fault of many things is not the users, but the rule makers.

In view of such a response, linguists and language-related workers later came up with a joint proposal as a supplementary proposal to the "Draft Recommendations on Language Standards."It is still about language and writing, and the content is roughly: change back many characters that should not be simplified.

For example, return the 'cloud' to the cloud, and then dig up the 'cloud' that has been buried in the soil for countless years and use it. From then on, on the Hope, the love of human words has a heart again, and the dragon has become its original form. The dragon, the car turned into a back car
According to linguists, the purpose of this change is to turn Chinese characters into the ideograms they should be, improve the correlation between 'characters' and 'meanings', thereby reducing human memory costs and thus reducing the difficulty of learning languages. difficulty.

(PS: The content of the "." in "It's just that before" is something that the beast dare not say when watching it.)
