Hearing this, Zhao Ping couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. His own reform was also a reform, and so was Wang Anshi's reform. Could Wang Anshi's fate be his future fate?
It seems that the resistance to cultural reform is also quite strong!
Are you challenging their cultural authority?
Is there anything I can do?
It would be great if I were famous!
In ancient times, celebrity effect was also important!
Perhaps the ancients paid more attention to celebrity effect than later generations.
Didn’t you see that layman Dongpo’s bold poetry still had a firm foothold in the Song Dynasty?
At that time, the Wanyue school dominated the world.
Looking at Zhao Ping, whose face turned from rosy to pale, her mother shook her head gently, sighed and said: "There is no solution to this. Of course, the best solution is for officials from the Ministry of Rites to take the lead and organize Hanlin bachelors to compile it. The son approves.”
Zhao Ping had already heard the implication of his mother's words. Although his teacher had Jinshi status, he was not authoritative enough to be recognized by the world's scholars.
Li Hanmei looked at Zhao Ping, then looked up at the sky and said to herself: "Someone is always unconventional and likes to draw peach charms, but now it's nothing more than that. Hum, hum."
Why does this girl always love to go against herself?
Her words immediately aroused the anger of Cuizhu, Lan'er and Wang Gou'er.
If her mother hadn't been present, Cuizhu would have scolded her to pieces.
My mother saw it in her eyes and shook her head gently.
As Zhao Ping lowered his head and looked depressed, his mother waved to Zhao Ping and said, "Ping'er, come here and let me take a look."
Zhao Ping obediently went over and came to his mother. Mother sat on the chair and hugged Zhao Ping's forehead, kissed Zhao Ping's forehead hard, and then said: "This is mother's reward for you. Ping'er not only compiled "Three Hundred Long and Short Sentences", "Three Poems of the Tang Dynasty" "Hundred Songs", "Disciple Rules", "Arithmetic", and also pioneered the use of Pinyin to read characters. This is an unprecedented feat. Mother, why can't I be proud of you? You are worthy of being the son of the Zhao family."
Hearing his mother say this, Zhao Ping felt better. My mother flipped through "Three Hundred Long and Short Sentences" again, then looked at "Three Hundred Tang Poems" in Zhao Jie's hand, and suddenly asked: "Ping'er, are the rhythms of your poems and poems also based on pinyin? "
Zhao Ping said embarrassedly: "Mother, it is true. My child is not familiar with the previous rhyme, so I used these rhymes. My child temporarily calls it the new rhyme. Maybe this new rhyme will cause dissatisfaction among the scholars. "
Mother touched Zhao Ping's forehead kindly, shook her head and said, "Do you like layman Dongpo?"
Zhao Ping nodded and said: "Of course I like it. Poetry and calligraphy are eclectic and unique. It pioneered the bold style of poetry and was inherited by Xin Jiaxuan, who is as famous as Yi An."
His mother nodded and said, "Dongpo layman didn't write exactly according to the rules, so he was also the best." Zhao Ping bowed deeply to his mother and said, "Thank you for your hard work, my child. I understand." .”
At this time, Zhao Tian came over, pointed at the Arabic and English characters and numbers in "Arithmetic" and asked, "Xiao Langjun, what kind of characters are these? I've been looking at them for a long time, but I still don't understand."
Zhao Ping pointed to the Arabic numerals and explained patiently: "We usually use capital letters one, two, three, four, five, etc. for accounting. It is very inconvenient to calculate, so we use 1, 2, 3, 4, 5." Instead, X, Y, and Z are also different unknowns. The purpose of introducing them is also for the convenience of calculation. In short, you remember that these are the numbers introduced to speed up the calculation. The reason why Cuizhu calculates quickly is also The reason for using and mastering these numbers.”
Zhao Tian expressed his deep gratitude with a gift. Zhao Ping stepped aside and said it was okay to accept his son. Zhao Tian was Zhao Yiniang's father, how could he gain a disciple.
But he was willing to learn, and Zhao Ping was also willing to teach.
It's just a matter of formally accepting disciples.
Zhao Tian held this arithmetic book that he couldn't understand, and looked at Zhao Ping, who was younger than Zhao Yilang, and couldn't help but frown.
At this time, Zhao Yilang whispered to Zhao Tian. Zhao Tian looked at Zhao Ping and then at his son. He couldn't help but smile, and the look on his face suddenly relaxed.
It turns out that Zhao Tian found a way to learn indirectly, and that was his son.
Zhao Ping is also happy that this new arithmetic can be spread!
Zhao Tian pondered for a while and suddenly thought of a question: "Xiao Langjun, I wonder if I can borrow this book?"
Zhao Ping looked at the arithmetic in Zhao Tian's hand, then looked at his mother, Zhao Jie, and the others, and found that they were also staring at him closely, as if they had the same meaning. It is not bad to say that these books are unique, so he said to Zhao Tian: "Brother, there is no problem with this, but there is only one copy now. Let's do this. I will engrave "Arithmetic", "Three Hundred Tang Poems", "Three Hundred Long and Short Sentences", and "Disciple Regulations" into plates. My mother, uncle and Brother, let’s give each person a set, is that okay?”
Mother, Zhao Jie, and Zhao Yun naturally nodded happily and praised "good, good" repeatedly.
Zhao Ping suddenly remembered something and said to Zhao Jie: "Uncle, I wonder if you have found anyone named Bi among the refugees."
Zhao Jie nodded and said: "After a long time, the old slave finally found a father and son named Bi among the newly arrived refugees. I wonder if they are the people the young man needs."
After a while, Zhao Yun brought a father and son, who were about the same age as Zhao Jie and Zhao Tian. However, their skin was very dark and they were very thin. The fabric on their bodies was very old and there were many patches.
The father and son looked at each other. After greeting each other, they rubbed their hands together and didn't know what to do. They stood looking at everyone uneasily.
Zhao Ping asked the father and son to sit down, ordered Lan'er to serve tea, and then asked softly: "You two are waiting for an edict, may I ask what Bi Sheng's relationship is with you?" Graduation carefully sat on half of the stool, and after drinking tea, he raised his head and replied: "He is the villain's great-great-grandfather. I wonder what the young man's orders are?"
Zhao Ping couldn't help but be overjoyed. He stood up from his stool and saluted deeply to the two of them.
The two of them also got up in a hurry, stepped aside and said at the same time: "Young Master is a great gift, but I don't dare to accept it. I hope you will forgive me. If you have anything to do, please give me your instructions."
Zhao bowed his hands again and said, "I wonder if you two are good at carving movable type?"
The father and son looked at each other and were speechless for a moment. Zhao Ping couldn't help but be extremely disappointed. Graduation carefully looked at Zhao Ping's face, and then said: "If I didn't mention it, I would have almost forgotten it."
Zhao Ping felt happy and couldn't help asking: "Have you not forgotten the imperial edict?"
Graduation seemed to be immersed in memories. After looking at the sky, he came back to his senses and said to Zhao Ping: "Since my father took over this skill, I have been passionate and determined to change the world's sculpture industry. If this skill is used properly, it can be compared to The old-fashioned dead sculpture is ten times or even a hundred times faster, and the cost is one-tenth or even one percent of the dead sculpture. After all, movable type can be used repeatedly, while the dead sculpture can only be used once and then must be scrapped. Who knows that villains can travel all over the world? , but found that all the merchants now only like dead carvings and do not like movable type. I was so frustrated that I vowed never to carve movable type again in my life."
After saying that, he bowed his hands to Zhao Ping and said, "Little Master, I have offended you. Please forgive me for not breaking my oath."
Zhao Ping knew that he had gone through many vicissitudes after graduation, and that he had a great talent that was not recognized by the world. On the contrary, he was despised and suppressed by those whose skills were not as good as his. The long-term accumulation of pain in his heart had produced feelings of cynicism. The feeling in his heart was like a stone weighing him down for a long time. in my heart.
If this thorn in Graduation's heart is not removed, not only Graduation himself will be completely ruined, but it will also be a heavy blow to the publishing industry of the Song Dynasty, and it will be a heavy blow to his own hopes. I also hope that his movable type can be used to publish books and newspapers.
Zhao Ping got up and walked a few steps, looked at Graduation and Bi Cheng and his son, and then said: "I also understand Bi Daizhao's mood."
Graduation stood up in a hurry, cupped his hands, and said calmly: "Young Master, Mistress, I take my leave."
Zhao Ping couldn't help but feel anxious. He finally found these two great gods. How could he just let them leave like this? What should he do?
It seems that we have to improve the movable type engraving technology and find a way to pull out the thorn in his heart and let him see hope!
Zhao Ping hurriedly stepped forward to hug the graduates and his son. Zhao Jie and his son also stepped forward to help. After everyone's kind words and advice, the graduates and his son had to sit down again.
Zhao Ping said to the graduate: "Please, Bi Daizhao, please listen to me patiently and tell me a story. After listening to this story, Bi Daizhao will not be too late to make a decision. Bi Daizhao also has a dry mouth. Please drink tea."
Zhao Ping also took a sip of tea, and then said: "There was a man named Bian He. He found a stone full of spiritual energy while chopping firewood. He felt that it was an uncarved jade, so he happily dedicated it to The king at that time asked a jade carver to identify it, but the jade carver was ignorant and thought it was a stone, so the king cut off his left foot."
"After the king died, his younger brother succeeded to the throne, but other jade experts did not know the goods and said it was a stone, so he had his right foot cut off. This king reigned for a long time, a total of fifty-one years. This king After his death, his son succeeded to the throne. He was already so old that he could hardly walk. Bian He wanted to offer the treasure again, but he was afraid of being killed, but he was unwilling to offer the treasure, so he held the treasure and cried for three days and three nights. As for the bloody tears I cried later.”
"Later, this king was called King Wen of Chu. When he heard the news, he ordered the jade cutter to cut it open. It turned out to be a flawless jade. So King Wen of Chu rewarded Bian He heavily and named the jade He's Bi. He Did you know that the jade is the jade seal passed down to the country? Bian He sacrificed his own feet and even his whole life to make it come into being."
At this point, Zhao Ping raised his hands to the sky, looked at the graduates and his son, and then said: "Then the sky still has eyes, and finally it appears in the world."
Zhao Ping means that gold should always shine.
In Zhao Ping's eyes, the influence of movable type printing on Chinese culture is actually no less than far-reaching.
Hearing this, Graduation father and son, especially Graduation, fell into deep thought.
Zhao Ping also fell into deep thought. After the Sui Dynasty, this imperial seal was no longer there. Did it disappear out of thin air?
