Datang: I was overheard by the Empress

Chapter 19 Punctuation!

In the Hall of Justice, the atmosphere is strangely embarrassing at the moment!
Only the recitation of Guo Dajiu's wine kept ringing out, after all, it came from the mouth of a great Confucian.
There is an indescribable sense of rhythm and rhythm in the mouth of Guo Da Jijiu's words, which makes everyone listen as if these words are full of power!
Soon, under the gazes of all eyes, this Guo Dajiu finished turning over the first few pages of this college book that was smeared with Di Ping'an's saliva.

And then, I saw the Master Jijiu looked at Di Ping'an with a look of astonishment!

"What is this?"

Silly!
As soon as Guo Da opened his mouth to offer wine, everyone was even more confused!

You, Guo Qingshu, are the Grand Priest of the Imperial College, one of the best Confucian figures in the world, and you actually asked a student who just came to the Imperial College to study.

Although the ancients said that you are not ashamed to ask, but you are not ashamed to ask too much!

"Di Ping'an, why don't you explain to everyone what this is?"

But at this moment, Her Majesty's urging voice suddenly came!

Everyone was horrified to find that both the Empress and Guo Da Jijiu were all looking at Di Pingan with extremely curious and knowledge-seeking eyes at this moment!
This mediocre second son of the Di family, who only knows how to sleep, seems to have become a favorite!

Di Ping'an was also dumbfounded at this moment!
[I'm going, this Wu Meiniang is trying to trick me! 】

[Sure enough, as expected of a generation of empresses and great Confucian scholars, I would have known that I would not have drawn those punctuation marks, but I did not expect to be spotted by these two people! 】

……

The Empress was speechless for a moment, the brat's inner drama was really rich,

But then the corners of Her Majesty's mouth twitched again:
"Di Ping'an, if you can explain clearly, I won't punish you. Otherwise, if you disrespect your elders, contradict the great Confucianism, and disturb the Imperial College, I can send you to the frontier. You choose one!"

Wu Zetian suddenly smiled and said,
At this moment, Her Majesty the Empress stopped pretending, and it was time for a showdown!
If you want the salted fish to lie flat, then I have to give you this chance!
……

[I am sorry, Wu Zetian is so ruthless when he is assigned to the frontier! 】

[My brother, please save your dear brother! 】

[Hey, by the way, there is also my brother, I still have my brother, my brother is Di Renjie, haha! 】

Di Ping'an's inner drama at the moment can be described as extremely exciting,

However, Di Ping'an's face has always been extremely honest, and he has maintained a cute look from the beginning to the end.

But at this moment, under Wu Zetian's persecution, the cute expression on Di Ping'an's face immediately melted like water, and his handsome facial features immediately brightened.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the great sacrificial wine, and your lords, this is the punctuation mark!"

Di Pingan pointed to the college textbook that was soaked by his own saliva, and saw that on the opened front page of the university, apart from Di Pingan's saliva, there were some small tadpoles and small circles between the words. !

It was precisely because of these little tadpoles and little circles that Song Fangshan charged Di Ping'an with insulting the books of the sages!

"Punctuation marks, peace, please explain in detail!"

This Guo Da Jijiu is hungry and thirsty at the moment. These punctuation marks seem to be just scribbles, but there are great teachings in them!
Now that the matter has come to this point, Di Ping'an has no choice but to continue talking.

"This kind of tadpole with a small tail is a comma, which is used to separate sentences, and this small circle is a period, which means the end of a sentence. Commas and periods are used to divide articles, which can mark the sentence reading and make the meaning of the sentence Obviously, easier to understand!"

Di Ping'an explained the functions of commas and periods clearly in two sentences!
However, although these two sentences are simple, to everyone present, they are no less than a bolt from the blue!
Especially the other two sacrificial wines in the Guozijian, as well as several other doctors and other teachers,

Listening to Di Ping'an's explanation at this moment, and looking at the college textbook that has been divided, everyone was stunned for a moment!
Comma, period!Sentence read!

They haven't figured out such a simple thing for decades.

Not only have they not figured it out for decades, but their predecessors and sages have not been able to figure it out for hundreds of years.

The people present were either great Confucian scholars or famous scholars, all of whom were well-read poets and books, so they naturally knew the significance of these punctuation marks.

Even the empress understands the significance of these punctuation marks!
There are many reasons for the low literacy rate of the ancients, but it is conceivable that if this punctuation mark is popularized, the success rate and literacy rate of young children's cute learning will be greatly improved.

Not only that, this kind of punctuation may also have a certain impact on the sage classics, and it will greatly change the entire Confucianism.

For example, the Four Books and Five Classics, the most classic of Confucianism, have been annotated by great Confucians for many years, but the annotations of many great Confucians may have completely two meanings for the same sentence.
Because even great Confucians may have some disagreements about the punctuation of the Four Books and Five Classics, and such differences often lead to differences in the annotations of the sage classics by even great Confucians.

It is even more conceivable that the opinions of great Confucians are not unified, and ordinary students are even more chattering and arguing endlessly!

But if there is this kind of punctuation mark, if the sentence reading of the sage classics is unified, then it is conceivable that there will be no such troubles from then on, and even the probability of misreading the sage classics will be greatly reduced since then!
So don't look at it as just a comma and a period, two small punctuation marks, but the meaning and impact it produces will be irreplaceable!

……

"How is it possible? How is this possible!"

Punctuation marks are not difficult to understand, so after Di Ping'an finished explaining, no matter whether it is these great Confucianists or the students in Zhengyi Hall, they all understand now!

However, Song Fangshan, who had a fierce face just now, changed his expression drastically, and the expressions in his eyes became a little frightened!

Di Ping'an explained that these ink stains are no longer an insult to the saint's scriptures, but may become an inseparable part of the saint's scriptures from now on!

Because this will make the sage classics more deeply rooted in the hearts of the people and can be easily promoted, and this is exactly what these great Confucians have been pursuing all their lives!
Don't think too much, as long as it is the new Four Books and Five Classics published by Datang, this kind of punctuation will definitely be used!

At that time, the name of Di Ping'an may even be accompanied by the name of a saint, and his name will be passed down through the ages.
And he, Song Fangshan, will be the chief culprit who hinders the spread of the saint's classics. Not only will he not be famous for thousands of years, he may even be infamous for thousands of years.
Let me ask, for Song Fangshan, who already has a reputation as a great Confucian, how can he bear it?
However, at this moment, no one cares about Song Fangshan anymore, because after today, no matter what, Song Fangshan will be ruined, and there will be no possibility of rising from now on!

Unless Song Fangshan can fight against the entire Confucian system!
