If I am not a Confucian saint, I will set off a revolution
Chapter 331 The shortest novel in the world
"humiliation?"
Lin Ke raised his eyebrows: "I didn't do anything, I just wrote one sentence, why did I humiliate you?"
"A word?"
Yu Kong was even more angry when he heard this: "Do you think you can defeat me with just one sentence? Defeat the novel I have carefully prepared for a long time?!"
Lin Ke was also amused when he heard this: "Didn't you say this is what you are thinking about now?"
Only then did Yu Kong realize that he had made a mistake, so he said coldly: "Let me see what your words are!"
Lin Ke nodded slightly, and then gently lifted the paper.
There is no way, the paper without culture cannot be left in the air.
However, it is enough for people to see what Lin Ke wrote.
"The last living person was sitting at home, and suddenly there was a knock on the door outside."
In a word.
Just one sentence.
However, such a short sentence contains a huge amount of information.
Since it is the last life, what is it? Is it a human race?
If not, what kind of life is it?
Also, where was the last life? Great Wei Holy Dynasty? Or which country?
And, since it was on its last life, why was there a knock on the door?
……
One doubt after another popped up in everyone's mind.
Just one sentence, but it aroused everyone's thinking and made people imagine endlessly.
Just one sentence!
"Oh my God! I can't even imagine it!"
"Yeah, who knocked on the door?"
"Why do you feel like there's a knock on the door? What if it's hysteria?"
"If it's hysteria, it must be the human race."
"Nonsense, I heard that the Sharks also have hysteria."
There is a lot of buzz, and young people are very good at making associations, so they are now very interested in Lin Ke's "one-sentence novel".
Of course, some people are confused.
"Is this also a novel? I can do it too!"
"You're going up? What the hell are you going to do!"
"Novel is about imagining based on existing knowledge. If you haven't read this novel before, now that you have read it, you can think of it and think about it."
"Yes, yes, I have seen "Fight Through the Sky" and I can write it. The problem is that this is called imitation!"
"Anyway, I don't think this is a novel."
"That's because you have no brain."
Some people questioned Lin Ke, while others felt that Lin Ke's mind was simply brilliant.
Everyone was discussing Lin Ke's novels very enthusiastically, but in contrast, Yu Kong's novels were ignored.
Lin Ke noticed it.
Yu Kong's novel tells the story of a man who achieved fame through hard study and then saved the common people.
The whole article is less than 2,000 words, but the story is clearly told, but it is not attractive at all. Of course, there are merits to this estimate, such as the plot at the beginning where a person who has achieved fame has his engagement broken off.
It's a pity that with "Fight Through the Sky" in front of me, this kind of imitation just feels too strong.
If Lin Ke hadn't brought those novels from his previous life, this one would probably be commendable compared to "Yu Chu Zhou Shuo".
Of course, the smell is too strong. It is unlikely that Lin Ke would say that Yu Kong was original and came up with it himself.
As for Lin Ke’s words?
This is one of the most famous novels from the previous life. It was written by a writer named Flitik in 1948. It is rated as the shortest science fiction novel in the world.
A short sentence can give people unlimited reverie.
After seeing the novel written by Lin Ke, Yu Kong frowned at first, and then immediately realized the essence of it.
At this time, Shangshu Gui also sighed:
"The secret of novels has never been about the number of words... Lin Ke, you have provided us with the literariness that vernacular writing can provide before, and the number of words far exceeds "Zhou Shuo". But now, you have described it in a very short number of words. A new world.”
Gui Shangshu's tone was full of appreciation.
Previously, "Yu Chu Zhou Shuo" brought groundbreaking changes, bringing this genre called "novel" to the Great Wei Dynasty.
Therefore, Yu Chu relied on this to become a holy being.
After that, novels also brought more works to the Wei Dynasty, but not many of them were classics.
What follows is Lin Ke’s revolution in novels.
Writing novels in a language that ordinary people can understand undoubtedly breaks away from the original unfamiliar and difficult field.
You know, when Yu Chu first started writing novels, he imitated the writing style of "Spring and Autumn" and "Tao Te Ching".
Although it tells a story, it is not as attractive as Lin Ke's novel.
However, Lin Ke's novel also has a problem.
Too long!
One of the differences between vernacular and classical Chinese is that the amount of language expression required is different.
Chinese writing is a very sophisticated writing that integrates images and representations. When you see a word, you can think of its meaning.
For example, it doesn’t matter how you pronounce the word 黱. What’s important is that it is related to fish, Yan is related to fire, and forest is related to wood.
For example, when you pronounce the lips and teeth of the mouthpiece, you will find that the pronunciation of these words represents the thing it represents.
Based on some text, Chinese can be iterated infinitely without making people too confused.
The two words in the word "Geili" existed thousands of years ago, but modern times have given them new meanings.
Unlike English, the word representing pneumoconiosis and silicosis has a total of 45 English letters, which is pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis.
In Chinese, the three words lung, dust, and disease existed thousands of years ago. Now, when combined, it seems that people can roughly understand the meaning of this word, which is related to lung disease and dust.
This is Chinese.
Yu Chu's previous novels used extremely concise words throughout.
Just like the idiom "Besiege Wei and save Zhao", if it is disassembled, just like the compressed package is decompressed, it will be expressed in vernacular with more than four characters.
Therefore, the new novel Lin Ke writes will have a lot of words.
And now, not long after, Lin Ke used the same method and the same straightforward writing style to describe the novel in an extremely brief way.
This allows everyone to see that writing a story does not necessarily have to be a huge one?
"The way of novels has never been exclusive to anyone."
Lin Ke's voice also sounded on the field:
"The art of novels lies in telling stories. You and I can tell them, the Holy Emperor can tell them, and any common people in the world can tell them."
"When you are a minister, there are stories about being a minister, which can be written into novels. When you are a student, there are stories about being a student, which can be written into novels. When you are a matchmaker, there are also stories about being a matchmaker, being a teacher, a government servant, a son-in-law, a groom..."
"Everyone has the right to write his own story. A sentence, an article, a book, a hundred words, ten thousand words, a million words are all stories."
After saying that, Lin Ke looked at Yu Kong and said slowly:
"This is the way I think novels should be." (End of chapter)
