Carefree Prince In Tang Dynasty - Chapter 278
Chapter 278 Thread-bound book
“Why does His Royal Highness Chu have time to come to the Yamen today?” Xiao Yu said cheerfully to Li, sitting in his office. “The old man thought you and Lao Fang were busy promoting that set of punctuation.”
Li Xin smiled bitterly: “The main thing is the contribution of Mr. Fang, and I don’t have much to do with the kid.”
It’s been seven or eight days since Fang Xuanling visited the Chu Palace last time. During this period of time, Fang Xuanling wrote several articles in succession to introduce the role of punctuation, and changed all these articles to horizontal layout in order to cooperate with the use of punctuation. For a time, there were countless criticisms and a lot of noise.
There is no way, there are so many people who follow the old fashioned in the world, especially those who benefit from the old things, such as the traditional family members. They originally held the right to speak, and used a long time to build themselves into academic authority, and regarded themselves as masters of the truth. Now that there are “rebels” like Li Xin and Fang Xuanling who try to challenge authority and completely change their writing habits, they will of course be angry, and they have written countless articles to refute horizontal typesetting and punctuation.
But it’s also a bit ridiculous. Although these so-called literary masters can write beautiful articles, but after reading them through, they always make people feel ridiculous. For example, they say that vertical writing is the way of heaven and earth, and the order of writing from top to bottom reflects the orderly spirit and philosophy of Confucianism. Horizontal writing fundamentally destroys the literary spirit and eclipses the article. Also, they think that punctuation will destroy the beauty of the article, etc. All in all, it is some concepts in the cloud and mist.
In this regard, Li Xin and Fang Xuanling could only helplessly smile.
Whether it is these so-called scholars or liars of later generations, it seems that their numbers are similar. They are all good at making up some seemingly advanced concepts that make people confused, and finally use some **** and unreasonable arguments to trick people into accepting their views.
Who is Fang Xuanling? After experiencing so many wars, his aspirations were naturally extremely firm, and he wrote several articles conscientiously to refute the so-called masters of these families. At the same time, there are also some people who have a good level of literary cultivation and take the initiative to stand up in support of Fang Xuanling. Some of them, like Fang Xuanling, really appreciate punctuation, while others deliberately hold a different view from them because they are trying to help suppress traditional celebrities.
As a result, this punctuation controversy gradually evolved into a battle between the two parties. Among other things, in the past month, Chang’an has had many unhappy banquets. The reason is that the issue of punctuation was discussed at the banquet. These literati who were easy to go to the top, plus drank alcohol, and that during this year, the men of the Tang Dynasty were quite good at martial arts. It is not strange to stage a full martial arts every three or five times, even when they go to court every day. Some officials had bandages on their heads and looked miserable.
Xiao Yu had also heard of these anecdotes for a long time, so he mentioned these anecdotes as a joke.
“Although punctuation is good, it’s useless to just verbalize.” Xiao Yu looked at Li Xin and said, as if explaining why he hadn’t been moving for so long, and he didn’t support Fang Xuanling or traditional celebrities.
Li Xin smiled silently. He knew that Xiao Yu’s position was rather special.
Xiao Yu was the seventh son of Emperor Liang Ming of the Southern Dynasty, the half-brother of Jing Emperor Xiao Cong of Xiliang, and also the younger brother of Empress Xiao of Sui Dynasty. He has a noble status, and he is considered to be a member of the big gate clique in terms of bloodliness, but he is mixed with Li Shimin, so he looks like a nobleman in Guanlong. Therefore, he will not take the lead in expressing opinions on many things.
However, Xiao Yu has actually explained his attitude to Li Xin-he supports punctuation, otherwise he would not say that punctuation is “good”. But at the same time, he also saw that it was meaningless to just write an article and talk about it, so he remained silent and watched the changes.
If Li Xin understood correctly, Xiao Yu was also reminding him that it was time to come up with something really useful.
“Xin came today, there is something to show to Xiao Lao.” Li Xin said with a smile.
Xiao Yu heard the words, with an appreciative smile on her face, and asked with interest: “What is it?”
Li Tongdao: “I already have the first draft of the economic theory that Xiao Lao asked me to write. I also ask Xiao Lao to read it.” Then, he took out something from his sleeve and gently placed it in front of Xiao Yu.
Xiao Yu wasn’t busy doing it, but stared at the thing in front of him for a long time before reading it weirdly. After a long while, he asked: “This is… a book?”
Li Xin smiled and nodded, and said, “Yes, it’s a book.”
The “book” held by Xiao Yu at this moment is not a volume book or album familiar to the Tang people, but a thread-bound book. It is about a circle larger than the palm of your hand and half an inch thick, so it can be held in your hand effortlessly. Feel free to flip through.
