"Mr. Kong, if I remember correctly, the legend of the ancient times of the two emperors of Yan and Huang, Huangdi had an official named Cangjie, who created the characters. There were no characters in that era, and many people used certain objects to express their meaning. However, these objects may not be able to prepare to express their meaning, and may even be misunderstood. Later, there was a method of knot recording events, but although the knots were big and small, they could easily lose their effectiveness over time. However, Cangjie later created characters by observing the footprints of birds and beasts. Later, the sages of all dynasties continued to improve, so that our Chinese characters could be found." Chen Fei replied.

Chen Fei answered these things in the popular science animations he watched when he was a child, and introduced the process of Cangjie creating characters. Of course, later Chen Fei learned more advanced popular science and learned that Chinese characters were actually evolved from oracle bone inscriptions, and should not have been created by Cangjie. Cangjie may just be a mythical figure in Chinese civilization, just like the Jade Emperor Taishang Laojun, which is a task that people imagine. Of course, it is also possible that there is such a person in fact, but later generations have created them.

The credit for the characters was plagued by him. Chen Fei believed that the great project of making characters was definitely not something that one generation or two generations could accomplish. If one had to create a word out of thin air, it would not be completed with personal power. Later, the Mongolian master Basiba was known to be the best in knowledge, but he only created an obscure Basiba language throughout his life. This kind of thing can be used as a password and is not suitable for promotion as a word. It can be imagined that the difficulty of creating words is.

"Yes! Every word is the crystallization of the wisdom of the sages and cannot be desecrated. However, although words are great, in the final analysis, it is to allow us humans to better convey information and record civilization. Because of words, we have a great culture. Even my ancestor, Saint Kong, is a benefiter of words. If there is no words, even my ancestor, Saint Kong, could not have such knowledge. Do you know the process of the evolution of words?" Kong Yingda asked again.

Chen Fei immediately said: "If what I remember is not bad, the words have gone from simple to complex. First, from a few words, then evolved more and more, becoming more and more complex. Finally, we formed tens of thousands of Chinese characters now. However, such a large number of Chinese characters are not convenient for us to remember. Even a great scholar who claims to be the best in knowledge in the world, I am afraid that he may not be able to master all the words, right?"

Kong Yingda nodded and said, "Yes, I have not mastered all Chinese characters. No one understands the difficulties of studying better than me. When I was three years old, I had to learn from my studies, but I had to recognize words for three years. This is still my talent. If I were a talented person, it would take five or six years to complete it. It is also difficult to write Chinese characters, and many people have tried to simplify Chinese characters. However, there are many so-called scholars who criticize them, believing that this is an act that is a shame to the sages."

Chen Fei's face was a little blushed. Obviously, he was also simplifying Chinese characters. Is it a shame for his ancestors?

"Actually, they are all wrong. Although writing is the wisdom of the sages, the sages created the text in order to better inherit culture. If the so-called words are not allowed to be changed and the words cannot be simplified, although it seems to be the result of respecting the sages, isn't it a blasphemy to the original intention of the sages? The sages created the text in order to inherit culture. However, many people are extremely pedantic and regard the words as sacred and inviolable. They do not know that as long as the culture can be better inherited, it is worthy of the sages, and the sages will be excited even if they are in the nine springs." Kong Yingda said.

After hearing this, Chen Fei immediately realized that Kong Yingda recognized Chen Fei's simplified Chinese characters. Simplified Chinese characters can make people more easily master the text, and this can completely allow culture to be better inherited. Although text is the crystallization of wisdom of the sages of all generations, their original intention was to be better inherited by culture. It was definitely not to be a thing that was worshipped. As long as the culture can be better inherited, even if the text is simplified, what is the problem? Text exists for the purpose of inheriting culture. If the text is deliberately complicated, it will be detrimental to cultural dissemination. Isn't this contrary to the original intention of the sages?

"Bachelor Kong, do you mean to let me promote this simplified Chinese character?" Chen Fei asked.

Kong Yingda said affirmatively: "Of course! Take the simplified Chinese characters to me. If I am satisfied, I will invite my old friends to write to the emperor together, so that the emperor can gradually promote simplified Chinese characters in the Imperial College. As much as possible, simplified Chinese characters should be gradually replaced by the current characters and become the main characters used by the people."

"Those who say that words cannot be simplified are simply nonsense. When Qin Shihuang used the same chariot and the same essay, they used the words we are now. The words now have been improved by hundreds of years, and the words after the improvement have become simpler. And those words that words cannot be simplified are simply destroying bridges across the river! The road is simple, why don't they understand this truth?"

Only then did Chen Fei realize that the evolution of texts actually went from simple to complex, and then from complex to simple again. This is the same as the so-called martial arts TV series from simple to traditional and finally from traditional to simple. Those who said that the sages created texts that cannot be simplified were actually a group of brain-sucking guys. They put forward countless reasons, but they simply forgot the original meaning of texts. The original meaning of texts is to better inherit civilization, but if the text is complicated, wouldn’t it be easier to cut off civilization in the end?

Chen Fei remembered those guys who were later in life, saying that they would restore the traditional Chinese characters to better allow the people to learn ancient civilizations. In fact, how brain-like this is, because humans cannot only look at the past, but also focus on the future. Simplified Chinese characters can make the inheritance of future civilization easier, while traditional Chinese characters obviously do not. If you keep struggling with the past history, you can only achieve nothing in the end. Although people must remember history, they need to focus on the future, rather than giving up the idea of ​​innovation in order to be conservative.

Simplified Chinese characters are an innovation in culture, which can better inherit culture, so there is no need to hold on to traditional Chinese characters. Even if part of the culture on traditional Chinese characters is lost, so what can it be? People should look forward, the civilization of the past is destined to pass. Instead of being entangled in causing a gap in civilization, it is better to open your mind to create a more brilliant civilization.
