Great Tang Dynasty

Chapter 272 The Three Character Classic

"At the beginning of human beings, the nature is good. The nature is similar, but the habits are far away. It is good to say that the human nature is good at the beginning..."

Qin Tian was writing, when suddenly a voice startled him, he turned around, and saw Princess Jiu standing behind, looking with great interest at the thing he just wrote and placed next to him, and Still thinking about it.

The Ninth Princess looks a little quiet and quiet when she is studying.

Can't help but think.

If the person studying is his wife, then this scene should be quite romantic, right?
Although it is not a red sleeve, but the situation where the husband writes articles and the wife reads them must be very yearning.

Qin Tian was fascinated by reading it all of a sudden, but after the nine princesses finished reading one piece, he slapped his head: "What are you looking at? What about the rest? I think it's obviously not finished yet?"

On the piece of paper held by the nine princesses, Dou Yanshan was written, and there was a righteous prescription.Teach five sons, all famous.

In fact, not many words can be written on a piece of paper.

Qin Tian was taken aback by the action of the nine princesses just now, it was really too intimate, like a couple playing in the boudoir.

However, he quickly came to his senses, and hurriedly took the other sheet that he had just written: "This is it."

Nine princesses quickly took it over to look at it, and said: "It is the father's fault to raise or not teach. If the teacher is not strict, the teacher is lazy. If the child does not learn, it is not suitable. If the child does not learn, what is the old man..."

After reading it like this, Princess Jiu praised again and again: "It's my father's fault to raise or not teach. What you wrote is really good. What are you writing?"

The nine princesses looked at Qin Tian curiously, and Qin Tian smiled: "Please sit down, Your Highness, and listen to me slowly, isn't there a school in Qinjia Village? Ma Zhou is teaching those children to read, but soon they will be enlightened." Yes, so I want to write out some of the principles of how we behave in China over the years, so that they can read and read, and secondly, teach them some principles from an early age, so that they understand the righteousness of monarchs and ministers, father and son, etc. "

After hearing what Qin Tian said, the nine princesses felt even more incredible, because it was obvious that Qin Tian was compiling textbooks.

And throughout the ages, how many people can write teaching materials?

If these teaching materials are successful, they can be used as enlightenment for future generations to learn, right?

This talent is by no means comparable to ordinary people.

The nine princesses were so excited that they looked at Qin Tian with different eyes.

She couldn't help but picked up the paper and looked at it again.

But after looking at it like this, she immediately frowned, and said, "Qin Tian, ​​what is this writing, and why are the words separated?"

The Ninth Princess pointed at the things on the paper. Qin Tian saw them and immediately realized that they were some punctuation marks that he used casually when he was writing, such as commas and periods. These are all conditioned reflexes.

People of later generations write articles or something, and want to separate them with commas if they can't write a few words, and Qin Tian is no exception.

But he forgot that there were no such punctuation marks at all in the Tang Dynasty at this time, and neither did many ancient books, and he had to make sentences by himself.

"What are these?" Princess Jiu looked at Qin Tian curiously, Qin Tian smiled wryly, and said, "Your Highness, these are punctuation marks, used to separate sentences..."

Qin Tian explained the situation of punctuation marks to Princess Jiu, and after hearing this, Princess Jiu was shocked again.

Ancient books, as well as many current articles, even memorials, imperial decrees, etc., all need to be punctuated by themselves. In this case, sometimes there will inevitably be some ambiguity, so there will often be some unnecessary troubles.

But if you just use these punctuation marks to separate them when writing, and even different punctuation marks indicate different tones and meanings, then this is clear and clear, isn't there any ambiguity?
Qin Tian can even think of this, he is too powerful.

At this time, Princess Jiu didn't know what to use to express her excitement. She felt that Qin Tian's inventions were truly epoch-making, and they were indeed beneficial for thousands of years, and could be passed on to future generations.

And the invention of these things was just because Qin Tian wanted to give the children of the Qin Family Village a good enlightenment. Why are these great things so random with him?
The nine princesses looked at Qin Tian and said, "These things of yours are really helpful to my education in the Tang Dynasty. Hurry up and finish writing the Three Character Classic, and I will show it to my father, and then spread it across the country."

The nine princesses were excited, but Qin Tian was stunned for a moment. He just wanted to write it for the enlightenment of the children of the Qin family village. Why would he want to promote it across the country?
This made him a little unexpected.

But the nine princesses spoke, and thinking of the situation that would benefit Datang's study, he didn't hesitate, and immediately wrote the "San Zi Jing".

However, although it was written, it was not finished, but it was written about Tang Gaozu, the uprising teacher.Get rid of the chaos of the Sui Dynasty and create the foundation of the country here.

After the nine princesses finished reading, they took a stack of papers and were about to leave without any hesitation, but just as they turned around, they suddenly remembered something, so they looked at Qin Tian and asked, "I heard that you sent people to look for stones, what are you doing?" What?"

Qin Tian looked at the Ninth Princess timidly, his good things were about to be drained by her, so couldn't he save some for himself?

But looking at the current situation, it seems impossible.

"I invented a kind of chalk that can write on stones, and it can be recycled to save paper."

"chalk?"

Qin Tian nodded, and then told Jiu Gongzhu about the situation of the chalks. After hearing this, Jiu Gongzhu immediately said, "Bring me some."

Qin Tian knew it was indispensable, so he could only sigh softly, and took a few sticks for the ninth princess. After the ninth princess got these things, she hurried to the palace without stopping.

The palace, the imperial study.

Li Yuan is discussing something with Kong Yingda.

"Kong Aiqing, there are quite a few schools of Confucianism in my country. Although they are prosperous, they are too messy. The meaning of many works has been misinterpreted, making learning in vain and making little effort. Later generations are suspicious and can't correct it. Some people write articles and even more. There have been many debates about this, and it is difficult to achieve unity. As a descendant of the Confucian family, you should do more research and work hard on this aspect."

What Li Yuan said had a lot of meaning, and Kong Yingda naturally understood this situation clearly, but even though he understood clearly, he was also a little embarrassed.

"Your Majesty, Confucian books need to punctuate sentences. Different punctuations of different people will give rise to different meanings. That's why this is the case. Even if I find a way to write a situation, when future generations read it again, they will have different meanings. I still have my own opinions and my own sentences, which is really hard to handle."

Even if Kong Yingda had his own annotations, the annotations had to be broken sentences, and future generations would come up with their own meanings when they read the annotations, so what Li Yuan asked Kong Yingda to do was really difficult.

And at this moment, an eunuch hurried over: "My lord, the ninth princess is begging to see you."
