I went ashore by weaving straw shoes and became a master craftsman

Chapter 94 Text is the foundation of classics

The truth is like this, if someone makes a point of advice, the wise person will naturally have a clear thought.

Huzi praised: "Wonderful, wonderful! Miss Lao will continue to make it. Let's go to the water pool to try this waterwheel together tomorrow morning. It is surrounded by small tubes. How about calling it a tube car?"

"Success." Wang Ge said with a sigh of relief, that's great, the name of the drum car is logical. "By the way, have you... finished writing the Lantern Fu?"

Tiger's smile froze.

Wang Ge came to look at the case...all the blank bamboo slips were filled with repetitions of "stirrup", "stirrup", "ingot", "deng", "deng" and "deng".

I can't watch it any more. If I watch it again, Wang Ge might be able to sing Journey to the West.

"I don't know any of these words, can Hu Zi explain to me?" She asked sincerely, not thinking that a precocious child would deliberately spoil Mo and Jane.

In an instant, Huzi's eyes lit up a little.

He sat down, picked up the bamboo slips with the word "lamp" first, and said: "The simplified character for 'lamp' is not commonly used nowadays. When writing, 'stirrup' or 'ingot' are often used, and the earliest character for lamp was 'stirrup'. So I thought... In the early days, didn’t there be lamps? It was also recorded, but it’s a pity that the world didn’t know about it?”

As soon as "Oracle Bone Inscriptions" popped up in Wang Ge's mind, Hu Zi continued: "So far, we haven't found any records about 'Lamp' from the Yin Ruins Deeds."

Huan Zhen had taught sister and brother Wang Ge that the "Yin Ruins Qi Wen" was the "Oracle Bone Inscriptions" she knew in her previous life.

She asked: "Then why is the simplest word 'lamp' not commonly used?"

Huzi shook his head, indicating that he didn't know, and said again: "This word appeared in Ji Kang's four-character poems. spelling."

He picked up the characters "stirrup" and "ingot" and began to explain the difference between the two characters: "The earliest lamp in ancient times was called Taodou. Taodou has feet and is an ingot; Taodou has no legs and is a stirrup. But " In Lunheng, there is also the 'lamp' from fire."

He picked up the "stirrup" again and explained: "Golden bean vessels are called stirrups, but also called stirrups; while bean vessels made of tiles are only called boards." He pointed to the bamboo slips with the word "deng" written on them.

Wang Ge gradually became fascinated by listening to it. He didn't expect that the word "lamp" has undergone so many evolutions and is so confusing.Especially for the single word "Deng", she thought that the other party was just like her, and she took apart the radicals because the bamboo slips were too narrow to write.

Huzi said again: "Also, in Zhou Dynasty, 'deng' and 'stirrup' can be used together."

Well, messier.

Hu Zi pursed his lips and smiled, and the next sentence gave Wang Ge a hard blow: "Then there are so many different characters for 'lamp', why is the word 'ding' pronounced differently? Because this character is a different name for 'ding'. [-]. 'Ding' has other names."

Wang Ge waved his hands together: "Brother, don't talk about it, I have to think about it for a day."

Hu Zi especially liked to hear the word "senior brother". He stood up, put his hands behind his back, and said like a little adult, "Writing is the foundation of classics. I'm here to study exegesis, in order to understand the meaning of words and find the source of words."

"Be taught. Then you continue to make Fu."

"There are no more bamboo slips."

Wang Ge took out the homemade bamboo slips from his bag. "I will make a brief, you can use it at ease."

The little guy finally showed his childishness and pouted.

"Oh. You don't know how to make a fu, do you? Haha."

Huzi begged for mercy, which was considered an admission.

It was late, so Wang Ge sent him back first.The two stepped onto the winding corridor, and the exterior walls, window lattices, feet, and even the scenery in the courtyard of the house were all infused with a unique charm by the lanterns.

The little guy just stood on tiptoe and raised his hand as he passed by, but even Wang Ge couldn't reach him, let alone him?But she still hugged Huzi like she was hugging her younger brother at home.

The two looked at each other and smiled, and in the bitter cold, they watched all the lights in the curved corridor together.Not long after Wang Ge came back to the house, "Duk, Du" knocked on the door.

Still the same as last night, only knocked twice.

Opening the door, Baihe looked at her more than last night, and then went to knock on the next house.The neighbor shouted again: "Got it."

The white crane didn't move forward, but fluttered its wings and flew out of the curved corridor, turned back to the house in the distance, tapped with the tip of its beak, waited for two breaths, the door of the house was not opened, the white crane really flew away this time.

Wang Ge then went back to the house and continued to make waterwheels.

After eating breakfast the next day, the two came to the pool.Because it is close to the overturned car, the water discharged by the keel-like scraper is very turbulent, extending along the edge of the pool.

As soon as Wang Ge put the small cart, the craftsman who was shaking the cart saw it and asked loudly, "Is it a wheel made by the girl?"

"It's a waterwheel." Wang Ge replied.

How can there be such a waterwheel?The craftsman frowned and concentrated on driving the overturned car.

The edge of the stone pool is uneven, and the impact of the water flow in the sunken place is just right.The ten small water cylinders receive water one by one, rotate, and rotate very fast. After turning to the top, they tilt to release the water.The rotating shaft drove the bamboo figurine beside him to be very busy, and everyone who watched wanted to let the bamboo figurine rest.

After the craftsman glanced over unintentionally, he let out a strange "Huh".

Wang Ge devoted himself to erecting miniature bamboo troughs, which were erected in three sections from high to low, forming a "Zigzag" turn.Under the last bamboo trough, a more miniature pestle is placed.In fact, the hammer is a lever, and the water flowing down from the bamboo trough is the driving force. The other end, when the water flow is fast and slow, starts to hit with a small movement of "baba".

After a few blows, a small hole was smashed out of the ground, and mud and water splashed everywhere.

"Cough!" The craftsman paused his work, squatted over, looked at the automatic rotating bobbin cart, and then looked back at the other trucks that had to be cranked all the time to drain the water and make the pestle keep beating the bamboo. Overturned. "Girl, Xiaolang, if this cart is made bigger, like those sky carts, and bigger than the sky cart, will it..." Will it not require manual shaking?

Wang Ge and Hu Zi looked at each other and smiled, she raised her jaw at the little guy, motioning for him to speak.

Huzi pointed to the waterfall not far away: "If you can separate a stream of water from the waterfall, you might as well try it. However, although Carpenter Wang is a first-class craftsman, after all, he only understands the principle of the operation of the bobbin car. To make a real The big drum carts have to be built by the craftsmen of the sky carts, and the water flow from the waterfalls has to be tested again and again. Wang Jianggong, let the drum carts be put here for the time being. I will start school tomorrow, and I will go to Qingrong Hot Spring to take a bath."

"Yeah!" Wang Ge rejoiced.

The craftsman watched the two leave, and murmured to himself: "The first-class craftsman...Wang Ge? She is Wang Ge? No wonder, no wonder she got the first class!" Then he waved to the back and shouted: "Come here! Take care... ...Cylinder, I'll go find the master."

Qingrong Hot Spring is somewhere else, at least one mile away from Jingshe.There is no longer a bamboo forest here, and all the plants are green paulownia.After arriving, the two showed their official schoolchildren's wooden cards. Wang Ge was led by the girl servant into the passage on the right. After passing through a dome with a rocky mountain landscape, several hot springs of different sizes appeared, and the other three sides were surrounded by high blue walls.

There is a nursery between each hot spring. The blooming flowers and green plants not only serve as decorations, but also slightly block the view between the springs.

Aroma, warmth and humidity hit the face together, making people more pleasant.

The girl servant was about seven years old, with a sweet smile, and said softly: "Please invite the girl into the pool, and the servant will wash the girl's hair."

Wang Ge already knows the rules here, so there is nothing shy about it.The spring is full of running water, which is similar to the feeling of soaking in hot springs in her previous life.While she was soaking in the spring, the child worker helped her clean up the dirt in her hair, and applied the anti-lice lotion several times. If Wang Ge hadn't asked during the whole process, the child worker would have seldom spoken proactively, nor did he show his hair because of the many lice in Wang Ge's hair. I don't feel disgusted at all.

The background of the family was revealed day by day in front of Wang Ge.

And Wang Ge also started from the bobbin car, and in the Xie family, slowly blooming her veritable talent and talent as a first-class craftsman!
