I am a child of Daqin Xiong, who supervises the country at the age of eight

Chapter 427 Rules
Ying Changsheng wanted to tell Brother Zheng.

Nothing else.

That is.

Now, he wants to advise Brother Zheng.

Change it, the current writing rules of Daqin.

In traditional Chinese culture, when writing, writing is done from right to left and from long to bottom.

This way of writing, if you ask yourself, is actually an extremely backward way of writing.

the reason is simple.

This way of writing is just a compromise that was not possible in the early days of Chinese civilization when it was limited by the tools of writing and the carrier of words.

In the early days of Chinese civilization, the carrier used for writing was bamboo slips.

As for the bamboo slips, they are vertical. That is to say, if you write on the bamboo slips, you have to write from top to bottom.

In addition, the ancients formed the concept of respecting the right.

So ever.

The common people adopted the writing rule from right to left one after another.

Under such circumstances, this rule of Huaxia was established.

As for why, hasn't it changed since then?

After paper was invented, is this writing rule still adopted?
The reason is also very simple.

That's because.

The time has reached the time of the Han Dynasty before paper was invented.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty made an important move, that is, he only respected Confucianism.

As we all know, Confucianism is a school that advocates ancient times extremely.

Under such circumstances, it is natural that the entire society, from top to bottom, will not write and change the current writing rules.

Ever since, until later generations, before the New Culture Movement, such a backward writing method was still adopted.

And in this case.

Naturally, Ying Changsheng wanted to give Brother Zheng his own advice.

I saw that Brother Ying Changsheng Chaozheng opened his mouth and said.

"Father, my son has something to say, I don't know if I should say it or not!"

"Oh? Tell me?"

For a while, Brother Zheng was slightly surprised after hearing Ying Changsheng's question, but he still asked patiently.

"These words of the minister are nothing else, that is, now I am Daqin, shouldn't I change the rules of writing?"

"Is this unnecessary?"

Ying Zheng frowned.

He was used to the current way of writing, so Brother Zheng inevitably frowned.

Some resist this change.

this is normal.

For things that they are familiar with, the vast majority of human beings will instinctively develop a kind of resistance.

At this time, I saw brother Zheng like this.

Ying Changsheng had no choice but to patiently explain to Ying Zheng.

I only heard him open his mouth and say.

"Father, think about it, is writing from right to left more troublesome than writing from left to right?"

"This one……"

For a while, hear here.

Brother Zheng couldn't help frowning slightly.

If you think about it carefully, this is indeed the case!

From left to right, the right hand used for writing only needs to keep moving backwards.

But if you write from right to left, it will be much more troublesome.

The right hand needs to move closer to the left after writing.

This can be a bit troublesome.

Because, the reason is very simple.

The ink after writing, if it is on the left, is extremely evasive, but if it is on the right, it is easy to get ink on one hand.

Moreover, in addition, this way of writing is also very inconvenient.

Seeing Brother Zheng frowning, Ying Changsheng was unambiguous, he continued to strike while the iron was hot, and said to Ying Zheng.

"Beyond that, there are other reasons for this!"

"Father, think about it, is it convenient to write from top to bottom?"

"This one……"

heard here.

Ying Zheng couldn't help frowning, but Ying Changsheng gave Brother Zheng a try.

He said.

"Look, write from left to right, and if you write horizontally, isn't it, the frequency of movement will not be so high, and you don't have to move up and down back and forth, which can save a lot of effort!"

"This, it's true!"

Hearing this, Brother Zheng couldn't help nodding his head again and again.

Indeed, just like what Ying Changsheng said.

It is indeed much easier to read and write in this way.

At this time, Ying Changsheng also became vague, and he continued.

"Besides, father, take a look. Doesn't it seem that the content written in this horizontal line is much faster?"

"This one……"

Hearing this, Brother Zheng was slightly taken aback.

Soon, Brother Zheng reacted.

indeed.

When rowing horizontally.

When Brother Zheng reads a book, it is often much faster.

At this time, after hearing what Ying Changsheng said.

For a moment, Ying Zheng couldn't help nodding his head again and again.

At the same time, Ying Changsheng was unambiguous.

He directly persuaded Brother Chaozheng.

"Because of this, my son wanted to persuade Father, you old man, to change the current writing rules of my Daqin, and use horizontal writing from left to right!"

For a while, after Ying Changsheng finished speaking.

Brother Zheng couldn't help nodding his head again and again.

express approval.

Just as Ying Changsheng said.

The reasoning here is very simple.

Brother Zheng realized the truth of this at this moment.

However, he still couldn't help frowning, looked at Ying Changsheng at the side, and opened his mouth.

"What you said is reasonable, but I have a little worry!"

"That is, although this matter is good, the rules have been passed down from ancient times to the present. Could it be that this is going to be abolished and changed?"

"Uh……"

Ying Zheng's voice reached Ying Changsheng's ears.

The latter couldn't help frowning slightly.

Brother Zheng is worried about this problem.

Indeed it is.

It is possible that it will have some impact.

However, in Ying Changsheng's view.

All of this is not a problem at all.

Not a problem at all.

The reason is very simple.

I only saw that Ying Changsheng Chaozheng brother asked.

"Father, what are the ancient rules?"

"I have seen that the characters written on tortoise shells and animal bones in the earlier period, in those characters, some people wrote from left to right, and some from right to left. Isn't this an ancient rule? ?”

"This one……"

For a while, after hearing what Ying Changsheng said.

Brother Zheng's expression changed slightly.

I have to say that what Ying Changsheng said is indeed reasonable.

At this moment, Brother Zheng could hardly refute, and then, Ying Changsheng continued.

"What's more, father, in ancient times, when fighting, we used wooden sticks and stones. In the Spring and Autumn Period, there were still rules of righteous warfare, but now, who follows this rule?"

"So, there are no unchanging rules in this world!"

"As the saying goes, the way of the world must be close, and the future generations will live in the present. Things compete with nature, and the fittest survive!"

"Father, since there are better things now, why do you still hold on to the incomplete!"

"How about continuing to use such an extremely backward thing?"

"Could it be, is it really good to be conservative?"

"When did Emperor Father become as old-fashioned as Confucian scholars?"

For a moment, after Ying Changsheng's words fell, Brother Zheng was inevitably shaken...
