Hear the words.
Wang Cizhong's eyes revealed a strange color.
He looked towards the stone wall, and when he saw it for the first time, his eyes stopped.
Cheng Miao looked at Wang Cizhong and said with emotion: "We used to boast of being the creator of writing, and we thought we were ahead of the world. But now it seems that it is just a blinding eye. There are many capable people in the world. After all, we have underestimated the people of the world."
Wang Cizhong smiled bitterly, nodded and said: "You are right, this person has a profound knowledge of official calligraphy, and has even become a whole. We are still stuck on changing the pictographic structure of the big seal and small seal, changing the circle to the square fold, this person's calligraphy Official script has long been structured with strokes, horizontally and vertically, simple and clear, and has a unique charm."
"We are so far behind this guy!"
The two sighed a few times, refocused their attention, and read the official script on the stone wall.
They have been working full-time over the years to take charge of the writing reform.
When the Qin Dynasty unified the world, there were at least seven forms of Chinese characters, and the writing styles of officials and people were even more complex.
This means that the speech has different sounds, the characters have different systems, and the writing style has different shapes.
Because of this.
Text reform is inevitable!
In the end, the officials of the Character Collection Office used the Qin characters as the basis to change the characters of the six places, and finally decided on the strategy of writing the same text.
Xiaozhuan is the basis and official script is the supplement.
Xiaozhuan is an official document, a written document, a contract document, and its utility is to facilitate confirmation.
Official script is used as a supplement and is useful for quick convenience.
However, although Xiaozhuan was used as the official writing system in the Great Qin Dynasty, Xiaozhuan was a historical writing, and those who did not have a profound writing skills could not form its rules.
Since the Age of Great Controversy, the world has unanimously begun to simplify writing, mainly to facilitate writing.
This then led to the creation of various auxiliary (official) books.
That is official script.
However, due to different characters and different customs in different places, the simplified official scripts are also different. The characters are mixed and unorganized.
After the Qin Dynasty unified the world, hundreds of officials from all levels of government were selected to form a character survey office to determine the standard of characters and sort out the historical context of characters. They also began to intentionally carry out textual research projects, trying to summarize and organize the official script into one, and build Develop a unified standard writing form.
Over the years, officials in the Character Collection Department have spent sleepless nights and food, sorting out all the characters in the world.
However, there are differences in the number of characters in different regions, rich and thin meanings, and traditional and simplified forms. Therefore, there is actually a lot of controversy within the Character Collection Office.
In the end, it was Cheng Miao who overcame all opinions and made it clear that official script sought practical results and should be based on speed and convenience.
Only then did the official script establish its horizontal and vertical foundation.
However, even if it is determined that horizontal and vertical strokes are used as the structure and turning strokes are used as the strokes, the text reformation is still very difficult and has almost come to a standstill.
How to unify the paradigm writing system? What is the standard?
There are so many characters in the world, how to determine the number of characters in official script? Should all the identified characters be used as official script, or only part of them, or only common characters? Writing all of it would be too much work. If it only involves parts, there is no question of how to divide it, discard those words, and keep those words.
Again.
It’s the difficulty of style.
How should the official script be written? Should it be arranged one by one, or should it be compiled into a certain style? Is it easier to read or write? Which side do you rely on?
There is a lot of controversy over all this.
Sometimes, the officials of the Calligraphy Bureau would fight for a whole day over the horizontal and vertical strokes of a character.
Therefore, although official script has been established, the writing is still chaotic.
The rules are confusing.
Now that they saw the official script that was freed from all kinds of shackles, Cheng Miao and Wang Cizhong couldn't help but feel happy.
a long time.
Cheng Miao straightened up and said with a solemn expression: "This person's calligraphy is strong and agile, simple and clear, and the meaning and shape are all in between the lines. At the same time, the context of the text is not lost. This person's official script has reached its peak. If I am not wrong, , his attainments in official script are unprecedented."
"The official script he wrote has its own set of purposes, strategies, character designations, writing paradigms, and a clear set of writing regulations."
"It's completely different from the messy and disorderly official script that I and others compiled."
"This person is a master of official script!"
"Compared with this person's accomplishments in official calligraphy, 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 they not feel ashamed, but they also had a desire to explore, as if they had heard about their master.
At this time.
Cheng Miao looked at Ying Teng and asked happily: "May I ask Zong Zheng, whose hand is the writing on this stone wall? Can you recommend it to me?"
Ying Teng shook his head numbly, "No."
"Why?" Cheng Miao frowned.
Qi Yi coughed slightly, took the initiative to take the words, and said awkwardly: "Cheng Miao, you don't know something. This stone wall came from the imperial prison of the Yushi Mansion. The person who wrote it had buried his bones in the Weishui grass beach a few days ago. Even if I would like to introduce you, but I really can’t do anything.”
Hear the words.
Cheng Miao's expression froze.
Wang Cizhong's smiling face suddenly turned gloomy.
"He... was among those killed in the past few days?" Cheng Miao was still a little unbelievable.
Qi Yi smiled bitterly and nodded.
Cheng Miao's expression changed, and finally he sighed, "It's really the destruction of civilization..."
"With the help of this person, or with the help of this person, the official script will definitely be able to make further progress. It may not be able to get rid of the constraints of the auxiliary texts and form its own system, but there is nothing we can do."
There was no more sparkle in Cheng Miao's eyes.
He was now speechless.
Ying Teng glanced at the stone wall with cold eyes, but he didn't know why Ji Heng's words made Cheng Miao and Wang Cizhong react so strongly. However, some things were not suitable for the outside world to know, and it was impossible for him to reveal the secrets.
even.
He also felt a little wary 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 divorced from the hieroglyphic form, it does not deviate from the original historical context of writing."
"It's not difficult to identify."
Ying Teng raised his head slightly, looked at the other officials of the Calligraphy Bureau standing in the hall, his eyes moved slightly and said: "You each also go and get a bamboo slip, translate the content on the stone wall in Qin seal, and verify it carefully Transcribe.”
"When the transcription is completed, give them all to me."
"If there are no differences between us, I will hand it over to Dr. Xia."
"It's about a prescription that can save the world, so please don't worry about it." Ying Teng bowed to Cheng Miao and other officials of the Calligraphy Bureau.
Cheng Miao and others returned the greeting and said, "You will do your duty to the best of your ability."
They knew Ying Teng's intentions.
But didn't care.
What's more, this is a prescription. Even if it is fraudulent, it will eventually need to be verified by Imperial Physician Xia and others. Only if the verification is successful, these prescriptions will be included in the Palace Chinese Medicine Classic. How can they make unnecessary efforts?
The palace was quiet.
Cheng Miao and others were immersed in writing.
When the officials of the Calligraphy Bureau finally finished the translation, there were differences among them. After some debate, everyone in the Office of Calligraphy finally reached a consensus.
Then the translation was handed over to Ying Teng.
At this time.
Cheng Miao couldn't help but ask, "Zong Zheng, may I ask who left the writing on the stone wall?"
Ying Teng glanced at Cheng Miao and said two words casually.
"Ji Heng!!!"
