Han Zuo Gaomen

Chapter 474
During this period of time, apart from entertaining guests in the Shen Garden, Shen Zhezi spent the rest of his time at home with his family.

Now that the matter of becoming an official has been confirmed, it will be difficult for Shen Zhezi to have too much leisure time in the future. Even if he is an official in the capital, he will always live in Taicheng, and he will no longer have much freedom.

Once people have too many choices, inertia will inevitably breed.The whole society is gradually flowing towards retreat, but it is not without trace.It is true that there are many people seeking advancement nowadays, but for those children who have gained power, they do not have the need to be an official to carry on the family business, so they are lazy to be an official.

And these people affect the world to some extent, and many people regard it as beauty, saying that they have the ambition to be virtuous and hermit.In fact, to put it bluntly, I am lazy, and I don't want to be restrained too much.However, the morals of the world have not formed a strong condemnation of such behavior in public opinion, so it has become more and more violent.

Although it is said that the scholars of the Wei and Jin Dynasties have a style of avoiding the world, in fact, fundamentally speaking, the Wei and Jin are still different.At least after the establishment of the ZTE system, the universe is boiling, the mountains and rivers are turbulent, and it is not a world of inaction, so this kind of world style is difficult to confuse with China and North Korea.

In the past, Shen Zhezi was not considered a real official, so he might as well follow the Romans as the Romans did, but if he really held an official position, he would not want to indulge himself anymore.If the so-called reform of the world style cannot even achieve self-discipline, then who can convince anyone of the things he advocates?
So now Shen Zhezi has a little bit of the idea of ​​future generations when the winter and summer vacations are approaching the start of school.

Control may make people obey for a while, but once they have the ability to resist, the long-standing depression will inevitably burst out again and intensify.Especially for the special relationship with family members, if it is too strict, it will inevitably make people indifferent, and even betray relatives, so a better way is to guide.

Shen Zhezi and Princess Xingnan are called husband and wife, but it is not an exaggeration to say that they raised this little lady.Therefore, Princess Xingnan is often the first to accept Shen Zhezi's thoughts on changing people's concepts and behaviors.

What made him feel more gratified was that this little girl came to his house in her early ten years, and has basically formed some views on things since she grew up, but fortunately she didn't grow crooked.Moreover, this girl's personality is extremely distinct, and she didn't become a copy of Shen Zhezi.

In order to create a living environment for the princess that is different from the current one, Shen Zhezi also took great pains. Food and clothing, carefree are the most basic guarantees. What is more important is to let the girl face life to take the initiative and not live like other things. The wives of the rich and powerful families also look sad and sad, and their boudoirs are full of resentment.

In the early years of Nanyuan's management, Princess Xingnan had more ideas and creativity than people at that time, and because of Shen Zhezi's unremitting support, many of these ideas were realized.This alone has given this girl a self-confidence beyond ordinary people.

Although Princess Xingnan's creativity is mostly reflected in luxury home furnishing, it cannot benefit the world.But this is the limitation brought by the living environment, and Shen Zhezi has no intention of teaching the princess to be a saint like Lei Zu in ancient times, but just hopes that this girl can live a more fulfilling and happy life.

During this period of time, because too many guests came to the door, Princess Xingnan was too lazy to socialize.The coming and going of the female relatives who came to the door was just a talk, and it was naturally tiresome to hear it too much.

In a courtyard in the east wing of the Princess Mansion, Shen Zhezi was looking down at some music scores, and on the desk in front of him were some musical instruments such as qin, se, and flute.It's not that he hates these elegant operas. Even in later generations, he actually has a good or bad appreciation of music. He was not willing to touch these musical instruments in his early years, mainly because he didn't have time.It's rare to be at ease right now, but I don't resist playing around with it.

However, it is probably because he himself lacks the elegance of this aspect. Those lengthy scripts and simple characters are familiar to him, but they are completely incomprehensible when they are combined, not to mention that the secret book in hand is all based on self-enlightenment. .

Guaer, the little maid next to him, looked at Mr. Lang holding a piece of music in his hand, with a solemn and stern expression, her brows were slightly frowned, as if deeply worried about the national economy, she couldn't help pursing her lips and secretly smiling.After following Shen Zhezi for so long, she couldn't see why Lang Jun had such an expression, but the music scores were very clear to her, and even her pale fingers were clapping secretly in the sleeves.

It can be seen that talent has its strengths and weaknesses, and it is hard to force it!

But this little melon couldn't guess what Shen Zhezi was thinking right now, he was indeed thinking about the national economy.

The current music score is a written score, so-called replaying of old tunes. If the melody of the music is only passed down orally, it will inevitably be distorted over time, and it will be far from the old rhyme.So there needs to be a standard logo independent of the melody, and that is the score.However, there is another problem with recording musical scores in words, that is, it is limited by the literacy rate and cannot be widely disseminated.

Therefore, for a long time, music was divided into elegant and vulgar. Elegant music was exclusive to the high-level people, and rural tunes were for the self-entertainment of ordinary people.The so-called lewd music of Zheng Sheng is not elegant.Whether the music is elegant or not, it even rises to the majesty and legitimacy of the regime.

In history, Xie Shang’s Northern Expedition quarried stones in Niuzhu to make stone chimes, which was the beginning of Jiangbiao bell stones.And the music of bells and stones is the sound of elegance, which is a very solemn and solemn thing nowadays.

Shen Zhezi has no musical attainments, so he has doubts about whether music can shape personality, and he doesn't care too much about it.What he cares about, or what he thinks of, is to think of the reduced character spectrum of later generations from the script spectrum in front of him.

With the development of productivity and the accumulation of social energy, high-end products are always spreading downwards.

For example, when the European royal families fell into the dust in later generations, many lifestyles became the objects for the emerging classes to imitate at that time.Its specific artistic meaning will not be discussed, and the development track is like this.People always tend to pursue scarcity, which is inevitable.

Today's music is generally an entertainment that can only be enjoyed by the gentry.However, after the advent of Kaiping in the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the old Wang Xietang Zhongqu has become a song of death in the market.With the widespread dissemination of music, the original written notation has become an obstacle restricting its dissemination.In the past, the scholar's family turned to Le Ji and the actress, but now it has become the joy of the common people.As a result, the character spectrum was gradually replaced by the reduced character spectrum.

The so-called reduced word notation refers to the simplification and reduction of text, which can be more recognizable on the one hand, and on the other hand, it is also easier to record music and promote dissemination.After all, musicians may not all be well-read poets and books, so a simpler notation method was created.

And Shen Zhezi's association from this is, can the literacy rate be increased by simplifying characters?

In fact, the origin of simplified characters can be traced back a long time.Since the Song and Yuan Dynasties, with the development of social productive forces, ordinary people have greater needs for information acquisition and recording, so there are gradually many vulgar characters with extremely simple strokes used by common people.And the truly large-scale promotion of simplified characters initiated by the government will have to be postponed until later.

Many people in later generations criticize such promotion for losing the beauty of the ancient rhyme of the characters. This may be a kind of elite's clinging to traditional thinking, but for the whole society, it is actually meaningless, and it is just nonsense.The carrying and dissemination of information by words is far more meaningful than its writing format.

The reason why Shen Zhezi had this idea was because he had felt it for a long time.The current social development cannot be said to have reached the level where ordinary people in the Song and Ming Dynasties had to master written information.However, due to frequent social turmoil, those poor families in the lower class of the gentry, because of their positive attitude towards the world, have already had a great challenge upwards and intend to replace them.

And this kind of leap of the entire class cannot be expected from the lifelong efforts of one or two outstanding talents from poor families like Tao Kan or Wang Meng.The turmoil that spanned hundreds of years in the Southern and Northern Dynasties, the social problems that were solved, and the new ruling techniques that were built could not be completed by one or two military strongmen.

Shen Zhezi has met many visitors recently, and often feels that children from poor families may not be inferior to children from noble families in terms of talent, but they are indeed hard to match in terms of education.He does not hope that simplified characters can completely reverse this situation, at least it can provide these people with a more convenient way to obtain information.

Just like the promotion of Mandarin, it seems that there is no practical significance. It is just an adjustment in the way of speaking, but it can make people with different accents and different regions communicate more efficiently.

For example, in Jiankang nowadays, due to the mixed places in the north and the south, cross-regional exchanges are becoming more and more frequent, so the old sound of Heluo is the so-called Mandarin, the official language.There is no regional discrimination in this, you don't need to learn, just don't communicate with people.And the sons of big families like Shen Zhezi are bound to become officials, so they have been taught bilingually since childhood.

Hearing the slight chuckle from the little maid beside him, Shen Zhezi recovered from his contemplation, and looked at the completely incomprehensible music score again, feeling dull.It is true that he has no talent in this area, and music nowadays is an elegant play to cultivate one's sentiments, but he sat for a long time and was only inspired by a little pragmatism.

An idea is an idea, and if you want to put it into practice, you have to consider where the resistance lies.What he can be sure of is that no matter how hard he tries to promote simplified characters, the effect may not be good, and it will definitely not become a mainstream study, and it can only be used by the common people.

However, if it can really be popularized among the people and become a knowledge available to the common people, it will also be a very meaningful thing.So after thinking for a while, Shen Zhezi decided to give priority to promoting it in the military. Even if someone in Taichung opposes this initiative, you can't control the encryption of military information, right?No matter what other people's attitudes are, he intends to convey the military information by himself, so he can save half of the writing volume!

With this idea in mind, Shen Zhezi was about to order Gua'er to get the pen and ink, but he heard the sound of weeping outside the pavilion, got up and looked, and saw Princess Xingnan standing outside the pavilion with tears in her eyes, holding a pen in one hand. A scroll, while pointing at Shen Zhezi with the other hand, he complained, "Why are you so cruel!"
