Daqin: Compared with his sons, Ying Zheng is jealous

Seeing the action of Prince Fusu on the sky curtain reducing the seven languages that students need to learn to two languages, the kings and ministers of the Great Qin shook their heads.

This is also a rare thing that they don't have to learn from Prince Fusu on the sky curtain.

The Qin State where Prince Fusu on the sky curtain is located has not yet conquered the six countries and unified the world, so in order to facilitate trade with the other six countries, etc., it still needs to continue to learn the languages of the other six countries.

But they are different. Now that the Great Qin has conquered the six countries and unified the world, it can directly abolish the original six countries' languages.

Now the students of the Great Qin, and even the students of the world, only need to learn the language of the ** Qin.

At most, after the Great Qin creates a new, simpler unified language, the students of the world can turn to learn the new unified Qin language.

So from this aspect, the future students of their world are more relaxed in terms of learning characters than the students of the Great Qin on the sky curtain.

【After seeing Zhang Cang take on the task of compiling the"Seven Kingdoms' Translation", Prince Fusu nodded slightly and continued:"After you complete the compilation of the"Seven Kingdoms' Translation", you should have a detailed understanding of the seven kingdoms' languages."】

【"Afterwards, you can create a new set of characters based on the current seven languages!"】

【"This new script must be simple in structure, vivid, easy to remember, and convenient to write, so that illiterate children can write and learn it."】

【"In the future, this font will replace the existing seven languages, help the Qin Dynasty to unify its language, and become the only font that countless students will learn in the future."】

【"I don't think I need to say more about its role and significance."】

【Zhang Cang said excitedly:"Yes, Your Highness!"】

【As he expected, the Crown Prince will also be in charge of the unification of the text.】

【As long as he creates a new set of characters and helps the Qin State to achieve the unification of characters, then his reputation in the future will be accompanied by this set of unified characters, resounding throughout the world and lasting forever!】

【Who can refuse such a thing that will make one famous throughout the world and bring glory to future generations?】

【At least Zhang Cang can't!】

【After handing over the task of unifying the text to Zhang Cang, Prince Fusu continued,"Secondly, Mr. Zhang needs to further establish and improve a systematic and unified punctuation mark to reduce the difficulty for students to deviate from the classics and distinguish their intentions!"】

【Hearing what Prince Fusu said, Zhang Cang frowned slightly and repeated in confusion:"The sentence......symbol?"】

【Prince Fusu nodded and explained:"As the saying goes, a sentence is a perfect sentence, and a pause is a reading."】

【"Only by learning to read and punctuate can students begin to separate the text and sentences."】

【"So how do students today learn punctuation, or sentence division, when studying articles?"】

【"There are two main ways. The first is to divide sentences by some specific words."】

【"For example, fu, wei, gai, gu, yue, shi gu, jin fu, ruo fu, qie fu, ren ze, etc. are often placed at the beginning of a sentence."】

【"Generally, when we see these words, we can click in front of them to interrupt the sentence and start a new sentence."】

【"For example, 也、耳、焉、乎、哉、也、欤, etc. are often placed at the end of a sentence."】

【"Generally, when we see these words, we can click on them to end the sentence.々」 々」 "】

【"And if there are no specific words, how can we divide the sentences?"】

【"At this time, it is the second way, that is, the teacher leads the students to recite by oral instruction and by rhyming."】

【"Then let the students gradually remember the sense of reading, the sentence structure of the corresponding article, etc., and finally learn to punctuate"】

【"However, these two sentence reading methods are very troublesome for beginners."】

【"In the former, not every article has specific punctuation words, which can be used by students for convenient punctuation."】

【"For the latter, for each article without relevant punctuation words, the teacher needs to lead the students to recite it in a specific way of punctuation with a certain rhythm, so that the students can gradually learn the punctuation of the corresponding article."】

【"However, if students do not have the ability to memorize everything they see and hear as I do in their early years,"】

【"Often after three or five days of study, students will forget the sentence reading method previously taught by the teacher and need the teacher to teach them again."】

【"As a result, both teachers and students need to spend a lot of unnecessary time in teaching each other and learning how to distinguish between classics and intentions, which in turn slows down students' learning progress."】

【"So for this situation, my idea is to establish, improve, and form a systematic and unified punctuation symbol to replace specific punctuation words and reduce students' dependence on teachers to guide punctuation."】

【At this point, Prince Fusu looked around, as if he was looking for something.】

【Zhang Han, who was standing behind Prince Fusu, handed over a brush and took out an inkstone, quickly grinding ink.】

【Prince Fusu, who saw this scene, nodded with satisfaction. He had a reason to trust and rely on Zhang Han.】

【If he doesn't trust and rely on an official like this who doesn't require him to speak, or who can prepare the second half of his sentence in advance after hearing the first half of his sentence, who else can he trust and rely on?��

【Then Prince Fusu dipped his brush in ink and wrote directly on the wall next to him:"Like the Qin Dynasty now, there are several punctuation marks used in articles."】

【"For example,‘.’The dot is used in Daqin to indicate chapter division."】

【"For example,‘（）’Hook mark, this punctuation mark was used in Daqin to indicate punctuation."】

【"For example,‘▄’Black square number, this punctuation mark was used in Daqin to indicate the beginning of a paragraph or the punctuation mark."】

【"For example,‘=’Two short horizontal marks, this punctuation mark was used in Daqin to indicate repeated and combined characters."】

【"However, outside the Qin Dynasty, other countries and schools of thought used different punctuation symbols in order to highlight their own uniqueness, and they were often arbitrary and determined by individuals."】

【"For example, if you use a dot to indicate a chapter break, I will use a square dot to indicate a chapter break."】

【"You use a solid black square to indicate the beginning of an article or a sentence, and I use a hollow black square to indicate the beginning of an article or a sentence."】

【"You put punctuation marks on the left side of the text, then I will put punctuation marks below the text, etc."】

【"Without the guidance and explanation of teachers, it is impossible for others to use these imperfect, unsystematic, chaotic and inconsistent punctuation symbols to punctuate the article by themselves."】

【"This also means that if students want to learn the writing of other countries, or the classics of other schools of thought,"】

【"In that case, there must be a teacher who is proficient in other languages, or the classics of other schools of thought, to teach and explain it orally."】

【"This greatly hindered students from learning other languages and the classics of various schools of thought."】

【"So I need Zhang Qing to also establish a complete, systematic, and unified set of punctuation symbols."】

【"For example, what kind of punctuation mark can be used to indicate the end of this sentence?"】

【"What kind of punctuation marks can be used to indicate a pause in the middle of this sentence?"】

【"What kind of punctuation marks can be used to express doubts and rhetorical questions about this sentence?"】

【"What kind of punctuation marks can be used to express exclamation, exclamation, etc. about this sentence?"】

【"This set of sentence symbols should also be simple in structure, vivid, easy to remember, and convenient to write."】

【"Even illiterate children can understand how to segment and read articles with these punctuation marks as long as they know the meaning of each punctuation mark."】

【"In the future, this set of punctuation marks will also be promoted along with the new unified font, and will truly spread throughout the world, unifying all the other miscellaneous punctuation marks."】

【This is the second method that Prince Fusu came up with to shorten students' study time.】

【Although Prince Fusu benefited from his own gift of photographic memory and recitation, he did not find it troublesome or difficult to deviate from the classics and distinguish his intentions.】

【However, he also knew how troublesome or difficult it would be for beginners to learn to deviate from the classics and distinguish their intentions.】

【Because when Master Xu was teaching him, he couldn't help but sigh many times how easy it was for him to deviate from the classics and identify his intentions, while other students had a lot of trouble or difficulty in deviating from the classics and identifying their intentions.】

【It can be said that for a beginner, the first biggest difficulty in learning is to remember and learn to write the characters of many different countries.】

【The second biggest difficulty in learning is to learn and remember the sentence punctuation methods of many different articles.】

【At present, whether it is the way of punctuation by specific punctuation words, or the way of punctuation by teachers through oral instruction and heart-to-heart teaching, it is still too troublesome for Prince Fusu.】

【So he just thought of using punctuation marks to help students punctuate many different articles.】

【The punctuation marks can be said to have existed for a long time.】

【In the Shang Dynasty, some punctuation marks appeared in the characters carved on animal bones and tortoise shells.】

【For example, there are horizontal line numbers, curve numbers, vertical line numbers, broken line numbers, etc.】

【However, these symbols have a relatively simple function and can only serve as a simple separator, that is, to separate different oracle bone inscriptions, and cannot further express the tone of the person or the feeling when speaking.】

【In the late Shang Dynasty and the Western Zhou Dynasty, the number of punctuation marks engraved on bronze inscriptions gradually increased.】

【For example, the oracle bone script"¨」 ¨」 Variants of"Line Number"——""Check mark","double short horizontal mark" and"single short horizontal mark" etc.】

【During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, various works of various schools of thought were published one after another, and the use of characters was unprecedentedly widespread, which also led to a significant development in the form and function of punctuation symbols.】

【In addition to continuing to use punctuation marks such as the double dash, more importantly, various forms of punctuation marks have been used, and the usage of each mark has increased and the frequency of use has increased.】

【But in general, there are still not many types of punctuation marks, and these punctuation marks have the characteristics of irregular shapes and arbitrary use.】

【And most importantly, these punctuation marks are not systematic or unified.】

【Different countries and schools of thought may have different usages for the same punctuation mark.】

【Or for the same sentence, different countries and schools of thought may use different symbols to represent it.】

【To put it bluntly, almost every country and school of thought has its own unique system of punctuation and reading symbols!】

【Such chaotic, imperfect, and unsystematic punctuation marks were naturally unacceptable to Prince Fusu.】

【Since the Qin State wanted to achieve unification in all aspects, then naturally the punctuation marks must also be unified!】

【Therefore, based on the current punctuation symbols used by various countries and schools, a complete, systematic and unified set of punctuation symbols is re-established, and then this set of unified punctuation symbols is introduced into the article.】

【Then, beginners can quickly learn how to punctuate an article through these fixed, clear and concise punctuation symbols, reducing the difficulty for students to deviate from the classics and discern the intentions.】

【In the eyes of Crown Prince Fusu, it is a very necessary thing!】......

PS1: Punctuation marks appeared in China very early, as early as the Shang Dynasty. In fact, we already had them in the oracle bones unearthed by archaeology, such as horizontal, curved, and vertical line marks. However, due to various reasons, they have not been perfect, systematic, or standardized.
