During this period of time, in addition to often entertaining guests in Shen Garden, Shen Zhezi spent the rest of his time at home to accompany his family.
Now that the matter of going out has been decided, it will be difficult for Shen Zhezi to have too much leisure time in the future, even if he is an official in the capital, he must always live in Taicheng, and he will no longer have too much freedom.
When people have too many choices, inertia inevitably breeds. The whole society is gradually flowing towards retreat, but in fact, it is not without a trace. Nowadays, it is true that there are many people who seek progress, but for those children of powerful families, they do not have the need to take on the family business, so they are too lazy to serve as officials.
And these people will affect the world to a certain extent, which will make many people take this as beauty and claim to have the ambition of being virtuous and hidden. In fact, to put it bluntly, he is lazy and refuses to be constrained too much. However, the world has not formed a strong condemnation of such behavior in public opinion, so it has become more and more intense.
Although it is said that the Wei and Jin scholars have a style of escapism, in fact, from the bottom up, Wei and Jin are still different. At least after the establishment of the Zhongxing system, the world is boiling, the mountains and rivers are turbulent, and it is not a world of inaction, so it is difficult to mix this kind of world style with China and North Korea.
In the past, Shen Zhezi was not really a scholar, so he might as well follow the customs, but if he really held an official position, he would not want to indulge himself anymore. If the so-called reform of the world style cannot even be self-restraint, then who can be persuaded by what he advocates?
So now Shen Zhezi has a little idea of the winter and summer vacations in the future when the school is about to start a few days, and he can't wait for me, so he can have fun in time.
Regulation may make people obey for a while, but once they have the ability to resist, the long-standing repression will inevitably erupt and intensify. Especially for the special relationship of the family, if it is too strict, it will inevitably make people feel weak, and even betray their relatives, so the better way is to guide.
Shen Zhezi and Princess Xingnan are called husband and wife, but in fact, it is not an exaggeration to say that they are raising this little lady. Therefore, as for Shen Zhezi's idea of changing the concept and behavior of people at the time, Princess Xingnan is often the first to bear it.
What makes him more pleased is that this little girl came to his house in her early tens, and has basically formed some views on things now, but fortunately she has not grown crooked. Moreover, this girl's own personality is extremely distinct, and she did not follow Shen Zhezi's example thoroughly, and was reduced to a copy.
In order to create a different living environment for the princess, Shen Zhezi also took great pains, food and clothing, carefree or the most basic guarantee, and it was more important to let this girl take the initiative in the face of life, and not to live like other powerful women.
In the early years, Nanyuan's operation had already given Princess Xingnan more ideas and creativity than the people of the time, and because of Shen Zhezi's unsparing support, many of these ideas were realized. This alone has given this girl an unusually self-confident woman.
Although Princess Xingnan's creativity is mostly reflected in luxury home furnishings, it is not beneficial to the world. But this is a restriction brought by the living environment, and Shen Zhezi has no intention of teaching the princess to be a virgin like the ancestor in ancient times, but just hopes that this girl can live a more fulfilling and happy life.
During this period of time, because there were too many guests, Princess Xingnan was really lazy to socialize. Those ladies who came to the door came and went, and it was just a rhetoric, and after listening to it too much, it was naturally annoying.
In a courtyard in the east wing of the princess's mansion, Shen Zhezi was looking down at some musical scores, and there were some musical instruments such as pianos and sheng flutes on the bookcase in front of him. It was not that he himself hated these elegant operas, and even in later generations, there was no lack of appreciation for good or bad music, and he was not willing to touch these instruments in his early years, mainly because he did not have time. It's rare to have a quiet moment now, but I don't resist fiddling with it.
But probably he lacks the elegance of this aspect, those lengthy text scores, he knows the simple words, but the combination is completely incomprehensible, not to mention the secret book in his hand is all based on self-understanding.
The little maid next to her Gua'er looked at Lang Jun holding a sheet music, her expression was solemn and cold, her brows were slightly frowned, as if she was deeply worried about the national plan, and couldn't help but purse her lips and smile. After following Shen Zhezi for so long, she couldn't see why Lang Jun had such a demeanor, but those scores seemed very clear and clear to her, and even the white fingers were secretly patting in her sleeves.
It can be seen that talent has strengths and weaknesses, and it is difficult to force it at all!
However, this little melon couldn't guess what Shen Zhezi was thinking at the moment, he was really thinking about the national economy.
Nowadays, the music score is a text score, the so-called old tune is repeated, and if the melody of the music is passed on orally, it will inevitably be distorted over time, which is far from the old rhyme. Therefore, there needs to be a standard identifier independent of the melody, and that is the musical score. However, there is a problem with recording music scores in writing, that is, it is limited by the literacy rate and cannot be widely disseminated.
Therefore, for a long time, music was divided into elegant and vulgar, elegant music was exclusive to high-level people, and slang songs were for the small people's own entertainment. The so-called Zheng Sheng's lewd music is not elegant. Whether the music is elegant or not, it even rises to the majesty and legitimacy of the regime.
Historically, Xie Shang's Northern Expedition was quarryed in Niuzhu and made stone chimes, which was the beginning of Jiangbiao Zhongshi. And the music of Zhongshi is the sound of elegance, which is a very solemn thing nowadays.
Shen Zhezi has no attainments in music, so he also has doubts about whether music can shape his personality, and he doesn't care too much about it. What he cared about, or what he thought of, was that from the text in front of him to the minus character score of the future generations.
With the development of productive forces and the accumulation of social vitality, the high-end ones are always spreading downward.
For example, in later generations, European royalty fell into the dust, and many lifestyles became the objects of imitation of the emerging classes at that time, and when they could not dig up, they gradually evolved into so-called fashions that tended to be unconventional. The specific artistic meaning of it is not discussed, and the trajectory of its development is like this. People tend to seek scarcity, and this is inevitable.
Nowadays, music is still generally an entertainment that the nobles can enjoy. However, after the arrival of the Sui and Tang dynasties, Wang Xie Tang's song in the past has become a pawn song in the market. With the widespread spread of music, the original written notation became an obstacle to its dissemination. In the past, the scholars turned to the Le Ji Ling, but now it has become the joy of the common people. As a result, the literal notation was gradually replaced by the minus notation.
The so-called subtraction of the word notation is the simplification and reduction of the text, which can be more identifiable on the one hand, and on the other hand, it is also more convenient to record music and promote dissemination. After all, musicians are not necessarily people who read poetry and books, so they created a simpler notation.
And Shen Zhezi's association from this is, can we popularize literacy by simplifying words?
In fact, the origin of simplified words can also be traced back to a long time. After the Song and Yuan dynasties, with the development of social productive forces, ordinary people also had a greater demand for information acquisition and recording, so there were gradually many common characters with extremely simple strokes used by ordinary people. And the really large-scale promotion of simplified words advocated by the government will be pushed to the end.
In later generations, there are many people who criticize this kind of promotion for losing the beauty of the ancient rhyme of words, which may be a kind of elite clinging to traditional thinking, but for the whole society, it is actually meaningless, but it is just nonsense. The significance of words to carry and disseminate information is far greater than the format in which it is written.
The reason why Shen Zhezi has this idea is also because he has been feeling it for a long time. Today's social development cannot be said to have reached the level that small people in the Song and Ming dynasties had to master written information. However, due to the frequent social turmoil, those poor families located in the lower strata of the Shi clan, because of their positive attitude towards joining the WTO, have a great intention to challenge upwards and replace them.
And this kind of leap in the span of the entire class cannot be pinned on the lifelong efforts of one or two outstanding talents like Tao Kan or Wang Meng. The turmoil spanning hundreds of years between the North and the South, the social problems solved, and the new ruling techniques built up were not something that one or two military strongmen could lead to complete.
Shen Zhezi has met with many visitors recently, and many times he has such feelings, the children of the poor family may not be inferior to the children of the scholar clan in terms of talent, but it is indeed difficult to reach in terms of education. He did not expect that simplified Chinese would completely reverse the situation, or at least provide a more convenient way for these people to access information.
It's like the promotion of Mandarin, which doesn't seem to have any practical significance, just an adjustment to the way of speaking, but it can make people with different accents and different regions communicate more efficiently.
For example, in today's Jiankang, because of the mixed north and south, cross-regional exchanges are becoming more and more frequent, so the old Heluo voice is the so-called Mandarin, the official language. There's no regional discrimination, you don't have to learn, you just don't talk to people. And the children of a great sect like Shen Zhezi are bound to become officials, so they have been taught bilingually since childhood.
Hearing the slight laughter of the little maid Gu'er beside him, Shen Zhezi came back from his contemplation, and when he looked at the music score that he couldn't understand at all, he felt bored. He really didn't have this endowment, and nowadays music is also an elegant drama that cultivates sentiment, but he sat for a long time, only inspired by a little pragmatism.
Ideas are ideas, and if you want to put them into practice, you have to think about where the resistance lies. What he can be sure of is that no matter how hard he tries to promote simplified characters, the effect may not be good, and it will definitely not become a mainstream study, and can only be used by the common people.
However, if it can really be popularized among the people, it will also be a very meaningful thing to become a knowledge that can be used by the common people. So after thinking about it for a while, Shen Zhezi decided to give priority to promoting it in the army, even if someone in Taichung opposes this initiative, you can't control military intelligence encryption, right? No matter what other people's attitudes are, he plans to do this by himself to pass on the military information, which can save half of the amount of writing!
With this idea, Shen Zhezi was just about to tell Gu'er to fetch pen and ink, but he heard a faint sound of sobbing outside the pavilion, got up and looked, and saw Princess Xingnan standing outside the pavilion with tears in her eyes, holding a scroll in one hand, and pointing at Shen Zhezi with the other hand and complaining: "Why are you so ruthless!" ”
