Datang: My Peerless Talent Has Been Exposed

So Zhang Nuo said humbly that he didn't dare to take it seriously, and at the same time introduced his original intention of making this thing.

"The two patriarchs are both scholars. They should know that the meanings are completely different if the sentences are different. This is still only in the books, but if it is put into speech, the different tones and the different sentence sentences are very different!"

"Then if someone is talking, someone else is responsible for recording it on the paper. If there are no punctuation marks, it may mean the same thing when it was recorded at that time, but when people look it up later, they get a completely different meaning!"

The two elders nodded in agreement. They naturally knew about it, after all, they had experienced it many times.

Speaking of this, Zhang Nuo remembered a little story told by his Chinese teacher when he was studying. It seemed to be very suitable as an example, and it was quite fun!

So Zhang Nuo directly picked up the brush on the side and wrote a few words on the paper, then handed it to the two bosses,

"Take a look, how much meaning can be explained by just this line of words?"

The two Patriarchs took the paper with a smile, and were delighted to see it.

"Keep guests on rainy days, but I won't stay every day"

Zheng Shanguo, the head of the Zheng family, pointed at Zhang Nuo with a smile, shook his head and said,

"The old man can see four different meanings at a glance, all of which are caused by different sentence sentences. It seems that without your punctuation marks, it really can't work!"

The Patriarch of the Lu family also laughed. It was just a small joke, but it truly reflected the changes that different sentences, tone, and intonation could bring about without punctuation.

Zhang Nuo knew that these two big bosses would definitely be able to see it, but anyway, they are idle at the moment, so it's better to let them have some fun with this.

So I handed over the pen.

"Come on, Mr. Zheng, try to use that punctuation mark to break up the sentence!"

Zheng Shanguo was also interested, took the brush from Zhang Nuo's hand unceremoniously, and wrote a new line directly below,

"When it rains, guests stay every day, stay every day, and I don't stay!"

Zhang Nuo and the Patriarch of the Lu family nodded, this is the first meaning, fun, continue!

Zheng Shanguo was using this punctuation mark for the first time at this time. Although he had just started writing it, he felt that it was really convenient after writing it. Then he wrote the second line immediately.

"On a rainy day, stay with guests, let's stay with me? Don't stay!"

Seeing that the three of them all laughed, it is true that the punctuation marks are different, and the meanings expressed are completely different, but when these words are put into their mouths, they are all the same!

Zheng Shanguo didn't explain much, and simply wrote two more lines,

"When it rains, stay with guests for days, stay for days, and I won't stay!"

"Rainy day, stay away day, day! Do you want to stay with me? Stay!"

Although I thought of the beauty of punctuation before, when the Patriarch of the Lu family and Zheng Shanguo saw that this was true without adding or subtracting a word, and the punctuation alone expressed different meanings, the two couldn't help but sigh. The magic of punctuation.

The Lu family is a family of poets and books. When the head of the Lu family saw Zheng Shanguo writing four articles in a row, he immediately became interested. He directly snatched the pen from Zheng Shanguo's hand, took another piece of paper and started writing again.

"When it rains, does God keep guests? God! God keeps me? No!"

"Stay on a rainy day? Stay every day? I don't! Stay?"

"Staying guests on a rainy day? God! I won't stay if it's raining!"

"On a rainy day, stay with guests, will you stay with me? Stay!"

Well, seeing this, Zhang Nuo couldn't help applauding lightly from the sidelines. This is really a manifestation of strength. He has just come into contact with this punctuation mark, and he can know how to use it in an instant.

The most difficult thing is, on the basis of Zheng Shanguo's four excellent answers, how long has it been since he turned around and came up with four completely different answers.

This is really a manifestation of strength!

Zhang Nuo looked at the scene before him with a smile,

"Mr. Lu, Mr. Zheng, I just want to post this detailed explanation of punctuation marks to the newspaper in the next few days. Then I will use our example just now as an example. It just so happens that the two Patriarchs have given the answer, and I will let you know when the time comes." Let the people of the world see how miraculous this punctuation mark is, and at the same time let the people of the world see the demeanor of the two Patriarchs, what do you think?"

The two Patriarchs were delighted when they heard it. It would be a fool to disagree with such a good thing. They are not doing something sneaky.

As the first batch of people who came into contact with this punctuation mark, it is an honor to participate in this kind of elegant event, not to mention it can be used as an example in the article published by Mr. Xiao Zhang.

From their point of view, even after thousands of years, all scholars have to learn this punctuation mark, so will they remember the names of two old men among the first batch of users?

What an honor this is!

Chapter 416 First Inaugural Campaign

The two patriarchs were so happy right now. Unexpectedly, unexpectedly, they really just came to this Lantian New City for a walk, and they could get a good chance to make a name for themselves for nothing.

They absolutely believe that this punctuation mark can be passed down through the ages, not only because of the novelty of this punctuation mark, which has never appeared before, but more importantly, this punctuation mark can really solve the big problems of all current scholars!

From then on, students don't have to worry about being cheated by teachers who are not good enough, and scholars don't have to worry about being fooled by fake books or books that are copied incorrectly.

God knows how many talented and bright students used to learn a mess of wrong knowledge because of mediocre teachers. One of the big reasons is that these mediocre teachers didn't understand what they themselves learned, so they taught them according to their own understanding.

But now with this punctuation mark, as long as you understand the basic knowledge, even a mediocre teacher can explain the book clearly.

At the same time, there is no need to worry about those scholars who had no money to buy books before being entrapped by copied wrong and missing books. You must know that books have always been valuables in the past.

Scholars from poor families who can't afford books usually borrow books from aristocratic families or great scholars, and at the same time copy them in the shortest time. The time is tight and the task is heavy. The final result is that there are often mistakes and omissions.

And if such a wrong book is circulated again, it will not be one or two people who have been entrapped.

Now with this punctuation mark, although it can't completely change the whole situation, at least there are undoubtedly fewer mistakes and omissions. In addition to the cheap books sold in large quantities at Mr. Zhang's bookstore, it may not take a few years. Every reader will have a proofreaded book with punctuation marks.

So, what a blessing to be able to participate in such events.
