After five years of teaching support, Daming became an empire on which the sun never sets.

Chapter 124 The Pioneers of the Renaissance

"As a result, I am afraid that my Chinese culture will usher in a major change." Gao Qi said after seeing the two tigers leaving.

"Not bad." Liu Bowen said, "Writing articles in this way of speaking will be popular throughout the Ming Dynasty. Over time, I am afraid that carefully crafted articles will be eliminated."

"Writing articles in the way of ordinary speech can be called 'vernacular text'" Song Lian said.

"Since then, the fine ancient texts have been abandoned, and they have been changed to vernacular texts." Lu Chang said, "I don't know if it's a blessing or a curse."

"From the students' point of view, this may be a new cultural change." Ma Jun said, "Since ancient times, Chinese culture has undergone several changes. From the contention of a hundred schools of thought in the pre-Qin period to the unification of Qin Shihuang. From Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. From the Confucianism of Confucianism, to the metaphysics of the Wei and Jin Dynasties, the Neo-Confucianism of the Tang Dynasty... From Han Fu to Song Ci to Tang poetry to Yuan music, each time is a huge change."

"That's right." Song Lian nodded and said, "The cultural change this time is to downplay Confucianism and lift the ideology of the common people. After Confucianism is downplayed, Duke Yansheng probably won't be so important."

"And the emperor also said that scholars who write articles should be close to the common people, which is more conducive to self-cultivation, balancing the family, governing the country and the world." Liu Bowen said, "The emperor's words are still very reasonable."

"Because there are the most people in the world."

The crowd fell silent when they said this.

"Alas!" Song Lian suddenly sighed, "The Preface to Sending a Horse to Dongyang that I just wrote has been praised by the world. Now that the new cultural revolution has arrived, who else in future generations will recite it?"

He was so inspired last time that he wrote a preface to Ma Junze. This preface has always been his proud work.

And now, with cultural change coming, his proud work will be less important.

"This new cultural change will definitely go down in history. Tell me, is this change really proposed by the emperor?" Gao Qi asked.He is just a cow herder, can a cow herder also change the Chinese culture?
"It's needless to say, isn't that person leading it?" Song Lian said.

At this time, the same name appeared in the minds of the crowd - Qin Yu!
"Lord Chigao!" At this moment, a student from the Hanlin Academy walked in and said, "Princess Ning Guo has already passed the contents of the second volume of "Breaking the Sphere" to the palace through Jinyiwei."

"The second volume of Dou Break Sphere is here!?" The crowd immediately stood up as if they had been beaten with blood, and said excitedly.

"We immediately entered the palace and begged the emperor to have a look!" Song Lian said.

After finishing speaking, Liu Bowen, Song Lian, Gao Qi, and Lu Chang went to the palace one after another.

In fact, even if the content of the second volume of Dou Break Sphere is more attractive, it is not as important as their lives.They have another purpose in entering the palace at this time, haven't they just been reprimanded by the emperor?They are now entering the palace, just using this pretext to express their loyalty to the emperor.

After entering the palace, the crowd will brag about the content of "Fighting Break Sphere" is close to the people, the story is attractive, and they promise to publish it on a large scale, and even promise to write a preface to "Fight Breaking Sphere".

As soon as the emperor was happy after hearing this, he might eliminate the grudge against them in his heart.

After the crowd entered the palace, it really did.

Zhu Yuanzhang was also very happy with their change, and taking advantage of his high interest, he asked Song Lian to write a preface to "Fighting Through the Sky".

After Song Lian received the decree, he wrote another "Fighting Breaking Order".

"Your Majesty, this "Double Preface" written by this minister is more careful and better than the "Sending Dongyang Horse Life Preface" written by this minister before." Song Lian said, "If it can be passed down to future generations in the future, it will definitely make it easier for future generations. students to recite.”

"Everyone has recited "Fighting Breaking Sequence", no need to memorize "Sending Dongyang Horse Life Sequence"."

……

After a few days.

As expected by the crowd, "Breaking the Sphere" has swept the entire Ming Dynasty.

The people scrambled to watch it and couldn't put it down.

Some readers have read it dozens of times and still have no idea.

Some people were walking and reading with books in their hands, and bumped into pedestrians on the road.

The rich lady, hiding at home and watching secretly.

The talented people have one copy in hand, and when they talk at a gathering, they talk about fighting spirit and realm... Because of the preface by Song Lian, plus the recommendation of Liu Bowen and others, it was published by the Hanlin Academy Publishing House, and those scholars who pretended to be lofty no longer resisted. .

It is popular in almost every village in Daming.

After hard work, the people most like to do is to sit under the big locust tree at night and listen to the scholars in the village reading "Dou Po"

Some farmers even took the initiative to study culture in order to understand this book.

Anyway, the text of this book is very simple, as long as they can read, they can read the content.Unlike the articles written by scholars in the past, I really can't read without a deep cultural background.

Invisibly, it has also improved the culture of the people.

……

"Your Majesty, Mr. Qin didn't talk about fighting, but started talking about his son-in-law, the God of War." Someone came in to report,

"The son-in-law God of War is also published in a book, so that the people of Daming can read it." Zhu Yuanzhang said, "Further downplay the influence of Confucianism on the people, and let the people have a more open mind."

"As long as it is beneficial to the people, we are willing to do it."

"Your Majesty, the second volume of "Fights Break the Sphere" has been sold out, with a total of 500 million taels of silver!"

"Five million taels!?" Zhu Yuanzhang was shocked, "This is more money than collecting poll tax. This money will be placed in the internal treasury and will not be handed over to Lu Chang. After all, this matter was initiated by Princess Ning, and most of the money will be paid. Give it to Princess Ningguo and Mr. Qin."

"Your Majesty, the people are eager to read the third volume of "Fighting the Heavens". Those who wanted to read the book all went to the local Gongyuan to petition, and the threshold of the Gongyuan was almost smashed. It was so devastated and unbearable. Therefore, they wrote to the Hanlin Academy and demanded that the third volume be released as soon as possible."

"Your Majesty, the Imperial Academy has received a lot of blades."

"Your Majesty, because the people haven't seen the content of "Fighting the Sky" for a long time, they have all started to write fan fiction books for comfort. The fan fiction books they write are all in vernacular."

"Even wrote a similar article, in the vernacular."

"Now the vernacular has become the mainstream of the Ming Dynasty and is developing vigorously."

"Your Majesty, after the people's minds have been released, there have been many more inventions and discoveries in life. Many new things have appeared, which have greatly improved their production and living standards."

"Okay!" Zhu Yuanzhang slapped the table and called out a big good word.

"Princess Ningguo said before that she would carry out a renaissance for Daming. From this point of view, the renaissance of Daming is already in full swing. Fighting the sky, son-in-law God of War, martial arts, fantasy, fairy tales, and the infinite two of the heavens -dimensional, will become the pioneer work of the Ming Dynasty Renaissance.”
