During this period, in addition to often entertaining guests in Shenyuan, Shen Zhezi spent other time with his family at home.
Since the matter of becoming an official has been confirmed, it will be difficult for Shen Zhezi to have too much free time in the future. Even if he is an official in the capital, he must always live in Taicheng and no longer have too much freedom.
Once people have too many choices, laziness will inevitably breed. The entire society is gradually moving towards pursuing things, and in fact there is no trace of no trace. Nowadays, there are many people seeking progress, but for the children of those who are in power, they do not have the need to take office as officials, so they are lazy to be an official.
These people have influenced the world to some extent, which will make many people regard it as beautiful and say that they have the ambition of wise and hidden people. In fact, to put it bluntly, they are lazy and unwilling to be subject to too many restrictions. However, the world has not strongly condemned such behavior in public opinion, and therefore it becomes more and more intense.
Although it is said that the scholars of the Wei and Jin Dynasties had a tendency to avoid the world, in fact, from the bottom of the matter, the Wei and Jin Dynasties were still different. At least after the establishment of the Zhongxing system, the universe was boiling, the mountains and rivers were turbulent, and it was not a world of inaction, so this world style was difficult to confuse with the Chinese and Koreans.
In the past, Shen Zhezi was not considered a real official, so he might as well follow the local customs. However, if he really held an official position, he would not want to indulge himself anymore. The so-called reform of the world, if he could not even restrain himself, then who could he convince?
So now Shen Zhezi has a very good idea of the winter and summer vacations in the future when the school starts. I am too late to wait and have fun in time.
Regulation may make people obey for a moment, but once they have the ability to resist, the long-term repression will inevitably erupt and become more severe. Especially for the special relationship of family members, if it is too strict, it will inevitably make people feel weak and even betrayal of their relatives, so a better way is to guide them.
Shen Zhezi and Princess Xingnan are called husband and wife, but it is not an exaggeration to say that they have raised this little lady. Therefore, Princess Xingnan is often the first to bear Shen Zhezi's ideas and behaviors to change people's ideas and behaviors.
What made him feel more gratified was that this little girl came to his family in her early ten years old and has basically formed some views on things since she grew up. Fortunately, she did not look at things. Moreover, the girl's personality is extremely distinct, and she did not completely imitate Shen Zhezi, and became a copy.
In order to create a living environment different from the current situation, Shen Zhezi also took great pains to create a living environment for the princess. She was frugal and carefree, and was the most basic guarantee. She was more important to make this girl take the initiative in the face of life and not live like other powerful women who are sad about autumn and spring, and full of resentment.
The management of Nanyuan in the early years had already given Princess Xingnan more ideas and creativity than that of the times. Moreover, with Shen Zhezi's unremitting support, many of these ideas were realized. This alone has given this girl a super-ordinary self-confidence.
Although Princess Xingnan's creativity is mostly reflected in luxury homes and cannot benefit the world. However, this is a limitation brought by the living environment, and Shen Zhezi had no intention of teaching the princess to become a saint like Lazu in ancient times, just hope that this girl could live a more fulfilling and happier life.
During this period, because there were too many guests, Princess Xingnan was really lazy to socialize. The female family members who came to visit came and went just a few words, and they would naturally get bored if they listened too much.
In a cross-yard wing in the east wing of the princess's mansion, Shen Zhezi was looking down at some musical scores, and there were instruments such as piano, sibling, and flute on the desk in front of him. He did not hate these elegant operas himself. Even in later generations, there was actually a good or bad appreciation of music. He was unhappy to come into contact with these instruments in his early years, and he did not have time. He was very at ease now, so he did not resist fiddling with them.
However, it is probably because he lacks the elegance in this area. He knows those long texts and simple words, but he can't understand them when he put them together, let alone the secrets he has to understand them all by himself.
Guaer, the little maid next to her, looked at Langjun holding a music score in her hand, with a solemn and cold expression, her brows frowned slightly, as if she was deeply worried about the national economy, and she couldn't help but smile secretly. After following Shen Zhezi for so long, she couldn't tell why Langjun had this expression, but in her eyes, the music scores were very clear and clear, and even the white fingers were secretly patting them in her sleeves.
It can be seen that talent has its own strengths and it is hard to force it at all!
However, this little Guaer couldn't guess what Shen Zhezi was thinking now, he was indeed thinking about the national economy.
The music scores nowadays are text scores. The so-called old tunes are repeated. If the melody of the music is just based on oral transmission, it will inevitably be distorted over time and is far from the old rhyme. Therefore, it is necessary to have a standard mark independent of the melody, that is, the music score. However, there will be another problem in recording the music scores with words, 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 the top leaders, and rural music was the entertainment of the common people. The so-called Zhengsheng erotic music was not a place of elegance. Whether music was elegant and vulgar or not, it even rose to the majesty and legitimacy of the regime.
In history, Xie Shang made a northern expedition and made stone chimes in Niuzhu, which was the beginning of the bells and stones on the river. The music of bells and stones is the sound of elegance, which is a very solemn and solemn thing nowadays.
Shen Zhezi had no musical attainments, so he was also questioned whether music could shape a personality. He was not too concerned about whether it existed without regard for it. What he cared about, or was associated with, was the subtractive score of later generations from the text score in front of him.
With the development of productivity and the accumulation of social vitality, high-end ones are always spreading downward.
For example, when European royal families fell into dust in later generations, many lifestyles became the object of imitation of the emerging classes at that time. When they were unable to dig, they gradually evolved into the so-called fashion that tended to be innovative. Without discussion on its specific artistic meaning, the development trajectory was like this. People always tended to pursue scarcity, which is inevitable.
The music in the present is generally an entertainment that the gentry can enjoy. However, after the arrival of Kaiping World of the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the songs in Wang and Xie Hall in the past have become a song of the market. The widespread dissemination of music has become an obstacle to limiting its dissemination. In the past, the scholars' family turned into a Yangle Ji opera singer, but now it has become the joy of the common people. Therefore, the genres were gradually replaced by the genres.
The so-called subtracted character score is the simplification and reduction of text. On the one hand, it can be more distinctive, and on the other hand, it is easier to record music and promote dissemination. After all, musicians may not be people who read poetry and books, so they create a simpler notation method alone.
The association that Shen Zhezi had created was whether it could popularize the literacy rate by simplifying words?
In fact, the origin of simplified characters can be traced back for a long time. Since the Song and Yuan dynasties, with the development of social productivity, ordinary people have also had greater demands for information acquisition and recording, so many common characters with extremely simple strokes used by the common people gradually have to be promoted on a large scale, and the promotion of simplified characters advocated by the government must be further extended.
Many people in later generations criticized such promotion for losing the beauty of the ancient rhyme of the text. This may be an elite's thinking that sticks to the traditional way, but it actually has no meaning to the entire society, but it is just a foolish statement. The carrying and dissemination of information by words is far greater than its writing format.
The reason why Shen Zhezi had this idea was that he had a long-term impression. The current social development cannot be said to have reached the level that ordinary people in the Song and Ming dynasties had to master text information. However, due to the frequent turmoil in society, those poor families in the lower class of the gentry had already had great upward challenges and replaced them because of their active attitude towards entering the world.
This span leap of the entire class cannot be expected from the lifelong efforts of one or two outstanding talents from poor families such as Tao Kan or Wang Meng. The social problems solved and the new ruling technology built during the Northern and Southern Dynasties cannot be completed by one or two military strongmen.
Shen Zhezi has recently met many visitors, and often has such feelings. Children from poor families may not be inferior to those of the gentry in terms of talent, but it is difficult to achieve education. He does not hope that simplified Chinese can completely reverse this situation, at least provide these people with a more convenient way to obtain information.
Just like the promotion of Mandarin, it doesn’t seem to have any practical significance. It just makes adjustments to the way of speaking, but it can double the efficiency of people from different accents and regions to communicate.
For example, in Jiankang, because of the mixed north and south, the exchanges across regions are becoming more and more frequent, so the old voice of Heluo is the so-called Mandarin and official language. There is no regional discrimination. You can just not learn it, just not communicate with others. And a large clan like Shen Zhezi must become an official, so he received bilingual teaching since childhood.
Hearing the slight laughter of Guaer beside him, Shen Zhezi came back to his senses from his thoughts, and looked at the music score that he could not understand at all, and he felt bored. He did not have this talent, and music is also an elegant opera to cultivate sentiment, but he sat for a while and was inspired by a little pragmatism.
Thoughts are ideas. If you want to put them into reality, you have to consider the resistance. What he is sure of is that no matter how hard he strives to promote simplified Chinese characters, the effect may not be good, and it will definitely not become a mainstream study, and it can only be used by the common people.
However, if it can be promoted and become a knowledge available to the common people, it is also a very meaningful thing. So after thinking for a while, Shen Zhezi decided to give priority to promoting it in the military. Even if someone in Taichung opposes this initiative, you can't control the military information encryption? No matter what other people's attitude, he plans to pass on the military information by himself and do it, which can save half of the writing volume!
