"The round chess pieces resemble the sky, and the square chessboard resembles the earth. Since Yao invented Go, the chess paths have changed a lot. There are thirteen, fifteen, seventeen and so on. Why?" Chen Fanxian said that the vertical and horizontal lines of Go are not perfect. For changes, raise questions, introduce the reasons for thinking about the changes, and then put forward nineteen suggestions for changes, step by step.
Of course, when writing, Chen Fan did not add punctuation marks to all sentences in order to conform to the conventions of the article format at that time, because articles at that time relied on language sense, modal particles, grammatical structures, etc. to break up sentences.
The beginning was relatively normal and met the requirements of classical Chinese at the time. However, later on, Chen Fan decided to include vernacular in the article. The so-called vernacular is the language used in daily speech, which can make the article easy to understand, but it can also cause controversy because it does not conform to the habits of the article.
As for the vernacular part, Chen Fan decided to add sentences to read it. Sentence reading, that is, punctuation marks. During the Southern and Northern Dynasties in ancient China, there were more than a dozen types of punctuation marks, but they were generally not marked in articles. In this era, just like the Southern and Northern Dynasties in ancient China, there were punctuation marks. When students read and practice sentence reading, they would often be included in the article. Marking, Chen Fan simply marked the vernacular part of the article directly for everyone to understand.
"Because of the evolution of the chessboard, there is a process of cognition, which gradually changes from simple to complex cognition, resulting in an increase in lines. The larger the chessboard, the more changes there are, the more complex the chess positions are, and the more interesting the battle of wits is. Thicker." This part uses vernacular, and the article goes on to explain that people are getting smarter, which is why the number of chess moves increases. No one would think that they are stupid, so as to reduce the resistance against increasing the number to the 19th Route.
"Nowadays, there are 17 chess routes vertically and horizontally, and 289 items are obtained. A total of 48 pieces are needed to encircle three routes, and 112 items are encircled. It takes 40 pieces to encircle four routes, and 81 items are encircled. In the layout stage, everyone is willing to fall in Third line, the efficiency is high; in the nineteen-way game, 361 numbers are obtained, 56 pieces are encircled in the third line, 136 meshes are obtained, 48 pieces are encircled in the fourth line, 121 meshes are obtained, and the effect difference is obviously smaller than that in the seventeenth line. Three lines and four lines The terrain is relatively balanced, with the third line positioned low and focusing on empty corners, while the fourth line positioned high and focused on mid-belly forces. It is concluded that the 19th road is better than the 17th road because it is placed between the third and fourth roads. , its effect is closer, and it is more balanced between defending ground and gaining momentum." Using arithmetic theory, it is shown that in the third and fourth lines, different lines have different results in the number of meshes, and the difference between the nineteenth line and the tenth line is obviously smaller than that of the tenth line. Seven-way, the changes are richer and more complex, which is conducive to changes in the chess game.
"The chess piece is nineteen vertical and horizontal, with three hundred and sixty-one eyes, imitating the number of the heavens. If a person can count all the stars in the sky, he will inform the chess position, so there are nineteen ways." It starts with "The circle of the chess piece is similar to the sky, and the square of the chessboard is similar to the earth. ." Correspondingly, Go can imitate the movement of heaven and earth. The 361 paths on the board, except for the 1 in the center that is equivalent to "Tai Chi", the remaining 360 are the number of celestial bodies, which corresponds to the number of 360 celestial beings. Later, he borrowed the words of Feng Zhi of the Tang Dynasty, "If a person can count all the stars in the sky, he will inform the chess position." He lamented that the changes in the chess game are as endless as the universe, so it should be changed to nineteen ways to echo the changes in the celestial bodies.
The whole text can be said to be easy to understand, and most of it conforms to the classical Chinese writing habits of this era. In any case, Chen Fan is quite satisfied with this article. The ancients paid attention to concise, concise, and concise language. Except for a small part, it is vernacular. According to how everyone speaks It is customary to write, and other parts basically conform to the essence of classical Chinese. Some of the vernacular in the article was deliberately done by Chen Fan. This part is not important, and secondly, it is very simple to change it into classical Chinese. However, due to the use of vernacular, it became A controversial article, controversial, is sometimes not a bad thing, especially the speed at which it spreads.
"Fasheng, this article you wrote is excellent, but some parts are too vernacular, such as the process of cognition. What you wrote is that there is a cognitive process, which is not in line with the habit of writing articles." Gong Qing was confused. asked.
"Yes, I proposed the Nineteen Ways of Go theory as an innovation, and so does this article. In some places, I use vernacular and added sentences to make people understand the meaning after reading it. I want this article not only to It is meant for readers, but it is also for those who have not read much but love Go, so some places use vernacular so that they can understand the meaning." Chen Fan explained in a leisurely manner.
"Based on Fa Sheng's sentence 'If a man can count all the stars in the sky, he will inform the chess position', who can say that Fa Sheng is not a good article?" Feng Can said, "I think this article is excellent."
Chen Fan secretly felt ashamed. This sentence was written by Feng Zhi of the Tang Dynasty in "Yunxian Miscellaneous Notes". He didn't think of how to express the similarity between Go and the movement of celestial bodies. He thought of the miscellaneous notes he had seen before, so he used it. , I didn’t expect the effect to be quite good.
"I also think it's very good. It's easy to understand. This is also an attempt at writing. Although it may be controversial, the article is mostly positive." Liang Xiuyi, a wealthy young man, said.
What Chen Fan wanted was this effect. When people were struggling with whether vernacular should exist, they neglected whether to oppose the Nineteenth Route Theory, because everyone was thinking about how to change vernacular into classical Chinese to enhance the appreciation of this article. Invisibly, you are thinking about how to revise the article from the author's perspective, rather than thinking about how to oppose the Nineteenth Road Theory. Subconsciously, you are reducing your resistance to the Nineteenth Road Theory and subconsciously recognizing its correctness. And everyone will remember his name Chen Fasheng because of the controversy. why? Because I want to teach him how to change this article.
"Thank you." Chen Fan thanked him politely. At this time, the guest officials who followed Ma Bo and Liang Xiu in the private room also gathered around to read Chen Fan's article. Although a few people may oppose the vernacular and even the Nineteenth Route Theory, seeing that Liang Xiu was the first to express his approval, they also They all chose to agree.
Chen Fan sees that the effect has been achieved, so the following is how to promote, inform and advocate. If in modern times, relying on the Internet, it is extremely convenient to let many people know, Chen Fan does not need to publish the entire vernacular article, making the article controversial and allowing the public to discuss. But in this era without even electricity, communication relies on word of mouth. If the entire controversy does not come out and become a hot topic of discussion, how difficult would it be for the article to spread as quickly as possible? Take one step at a time and see if it causes too much controversy. There are always more solutions than difficulties!
"Ma Bo, I wonder if you can suggest to Tianshui College that the chess route in the college be changed to nineteen routes?" Chen Fan asked. Although he already had the best way to spread the news in his mind, being able to attack everywhere and increase influence is always OK
"I can try. I wonder if you can give me your "Nineteen Ways of Go" and I can submit it to the chess department of the academy." Ma Bo did not shirk, but asked.
"Of course. I'll make a copy later and take it with you." Chen Fan nodded and said with a smile.
At this time, the waiter who was waiting on the pen and ink said to Chen Fan: "Mr. Sir, I'm going to get some more paper right away. I wonder how many more are needed? Can you leave a copy in the shop? Right here. How about hanging it in the middle of Yaju?"
Chen Fan smiled and didn't reply. He looked up at Gong Qing and thought, if you don't have the ability to attack people at this time, who will? Seeing that Chen Fan did not answer, Gong Qing looked at him instead and immediately understood what Chen Fan meant. This was giving him the right to speak. It seemed that Chen Fasheng could not refuse. He immediately said: "Stay in your shop and hang it in the elegant residence. You can make the decision? Why not hang it in the lobby? How long do you plan to hang it? How long will your teahouse be open? Will it be transferred? Can you decide? ?”
The waiter was stunned by this series of questions. The most the shopkeeper could do was leave the shop to him. Where would it be easy to manage, but how long would it last? Will the store be transferred? This is not something he can decide. However, he understood what Gong Qing meant at that moment. To keep this article, the shop owner had to come forward. It was not appropriate for him to ask for it from a waiter, so he immediately said: "Mr. Sir, please wait a moment. I will go and ask for my husband."
"Well, go quickly." Gong Qing waved his hand and said.
"Okay, let's go." The waiter nodded immediately, bent down, turned around and left.
Chen Fan secretly gave Gong Qing a thumbs up. If any waiter asked him for writing and he agreed, wouldn't his writing be worthless? What's more, after this period of hard practice, and the fact that he has practiced both hard-pen and soft-pen large characters, his soft-pen small letters are now decent, at least no worse than the original owner Chen Fasheng, otherwise he would not dare to act like this today. Writing in front of multiple people.
"Chen Fasheng, can you also write a copy for me?" Liang Xiu next to him asked, "I can show it to the local people in Suzhou who like Go."
"Of course." Chen Fan replied without hesitation. It would be great if he could increase his influence in Gusu.
"Awu, take out the blank silk card from my bag." Liang Xiu said to a man next to him who looked to be under thirty years old and dressed up in smart clothes.
"Yes, Lang Jun." The man immediately took out a piece of silk and handed it to Liang Xiu.
Liang Xiu unfolded it and placed it in front of Chen Fan. It was a piece of white smooth fabric, one foot and four inches long and nine and a half inches wide. Chen Fan knew that among the aristocratic class of this society, the trend of "valuing plain paper but cheap paper" was popular. Su refers to unprocessed fine silk fabric, which is a kind of silk. The original color is white and is used for writing and preservation. It lasts a long time and is not easily damaged. Although it is more expensive than paper, it is still of high quality.
Chen Fan didn't hesitate at that moment and started writing seriously. Stroke by stroke, meticulous, the structure of the characters is completely in accordance with Song Dynasty. This is a kind of elegant and straight font. It is neither horizontally thin nor vertically thick like Song Dynasty, nor is it like the square shape of regular script, but the strokes are consistent in thickness and beautiful. Long and narrow.
Fang Song style was developed based on regular script. The structure of the font is close to regular script, but its writing is smoother and more convenient and faster than Song style and regular script. Chen Fan learned the Fang Song style by practicing hard pen when he was a child. Therefore, after practicing the calligraphy brush, he was still used to writing in Fang Song style. There are only some traditional Chinese characters, and according to the habit of the original owner Chen Fasheng, block letters are used. Fortunately, the two fonts are so close that they don't look out of place.
Just after I finished writing, I heard a voice that reminded me, "Fasheng, your handwriting has improved a lot now."
Chen Fan was stunned for a moment, and looked for his reputation. He saw that it was Master Han, and there was another person standing next to him. It was Master Li who had played chess with him.
