   Chapter 2132 Flower dispute (forty)

   is similar to European script, the same word, whether it is Gothic or italic, we can identify the word, and Chinese characters have six ways of writing.

The oldest writing style is "Seal Script", which is usually used to engrave seals or seals today. After Lin Gua completes his works for Chinese clients, he will leave his own seals. Collectors will also collect a famous painting. Leave your stamp.

   Seal script has developed into several different forms, and is generally used for inscriptions or book prefaces. Later, the seal script evolved into "clerical script", which is Qin's new way of writing palace prescriptions. Documents drafted by the government must be written in official script.

   Later, "regular script" appeared, which is a standard font, and literati who wanted to get ahead all learned to write regular script. Then it evolved into "running script", which is a form of quick writing, or a free form, but the font strokes cannot be omitted. Conversely, "cursive" allows writing in a concise and quick way for the convenience of shorthand. Business people often use this script, and some ancient books also use cursive script to write the foreword.

   "Song Style" is a font named after the Song Dynasty. During the Song Dynasty, printing technology developed by leaps and bounds. The so-called printing technique is a letterpress printing technique in which Chinese characters are engraved on wood. This technique was invented in the early 10th century AD, and was established in the Song Dynasty 40 years after the technique came out. Of all the fonts, this one is the most like the one Nick saw on the lotus flower.

  In the Water Margin, Gao Kui was loved by the emperor because he was good at Cuju, and Cai Jing became the chancellor of Song Huizong because he was good at calligraphy. Many people think that Song Huizong should not be an emperor, he should only be an artist. The thin gold body he wrote has almost become an orphan in the Chinese art world.

   Even a very ordinary painting will become invaluable if the words inscribed by him are left on it. Cai Jing is also very good at calligraphy, and the two of them may have many topics in common. The relationship between Shen and Qianlong is also somewhat similar, except that Qianlong's words are not as good as Song Huizong's, which allows Heshen to imitate his handwriting, but Song Huizong's words are so well written that no one can copy them, even Cai Jing Only good at running script.

   One of his poems that has been handed down to the world reads like this:

   Nongfang is surrounded by green calyx, in a rotten courtyard,

​​​

  Danqing is difficult to write, good fortune is left alone,

​​​​​​

Dancing butterflies, fragrant fragrances, waning clouds, and evening winds filled his life, but he didn't know that there was another appearance outside the palace walls: on the banks of the two rivers, dying on each other's backs, the sound of grievances , shouting in the wild.

Every night, hundreds of expensive ambergris are burned in his palace. It is said that this kind of spice will produce the high and distant artistic conception of Penglai's immortal island, and the pleasant temperament of birds and flowers. The incense is long-lasting and is often used by him at banquets.

   Not only is his handwriting beautiful, but even the process of his writing is beautiful, but it all ended when the Jin army invaded the capital of the Northern Song Dynasty.

   Europe also has a system of paying ransoms in exchange for hostages. The British meat ticket that was kidnapped by pirates last time was released after paying 7654 silver dollars.

  The Jin Dynasty was a dynasty also formed by Jurchen. Even the dynasty established by Nurhaci was also called "Dajin". Aisin Gioro means gold in Manchu.

In Southeast Asia, many people fled overseas due to disgust with Manchu rule during the Ming and Qing Dynasties. The Ryukyu envoys also worried about whether to shave their hair. Later, after negotiating with the Qing Dynasty, the Ryukyu people were allowed to keep their own clothes. So these former immigrants moved around in Ryukyu costumes.

   Japanese hairstyles are actually ugly, but they still think braids are uglier. When Ryukyu restored its tributary relationship with the Qing Dynasty, the trade between Japan and Fuzhou via Ryukyu did not flourish. After the Satsuma domain took a place in the logistics based in Osaka, the interests of the Ryukyu were almost taken away by the Satsuma domain.

  Japan refused to join the tributary system, and the Manchus did not intend to go to war, and maintained trade exchanges in a relatively peaceful way, so the mutual market system was formed.

  Take the opportunity of Zhengde's new case, Kangxi established Guangzhou Thirteen Lines, which was named after the Ming Dynasty. "Xing" means gang in Chinese. These businessmen with bad records will kill chickens and drink blood on the money of the gods, exchange oaths, and stipulate the rules of public affairs.

  Different from the firms in the northeast, Guangzhou Thirteen Lines does not have a tooth line. They directly act as the guarantor of the identity of foreign businessmen and crew members. Foreigners are arranged in the corner of the river surrounded by the city wall, isolated from ordinary citizens of Guangzhou.

  In the middle of the 17th century, with the development of the New World, the supply of European fur changed from Russia to America, so Tsarist Russia needed to find a new market.

  The Hercynian Jurchens also hunted fur and fished fish at first, and they mainly provided a kind of sable fur.

   Mink fur is also very popular in Europe. A cloak may require hundreds of mink fur. The Tsarist Empire has always been eager to integrate into the European cultural circle, so Tsarist Russia began to expand.

In the process of expansion, they touched the territory of the Jurchens, which they called the "Land of Longxing". When Kangxi and Peter the Great finally ended the war started by their fathers, they decided to sit down and sign a treaty. A problem was found.

   The contact between the two countries at that time was caused by the expansion of Tsarist Russia. In the early years of Kangxi, the Central Plains were not stable, and he had no time to look north. After the military confrontation and negotiation, the border between the two countries needs to be marked on the map, but the Tatars have never done that. They only have a copy of the "Jilin Nine Rivers Map" drawn by Lang Tan as a reference. It was inaccurate at all, which made Kangxi determined to draw a new map using Western-style surveying techniques.

And in the newly drawn "Pure Map of Emperor Yu", at least Jiangsu is definitely not allowed. It has been cut into hundreds of islands by countless rivers. This may be based on confidentiality considerations, but not only foreign missionaries, foreign missionaries. Businessmen and travelers can also survey and map. The map drawn by Dollington is used in many countries, but it is still not accurate enough, so the East India Company will ask Nick, a Frenchman who may have free movement in China, to survey and map. Those were the two main reasons Nick could think of that would get him into trouble.

  The oars squeaked from time to time, but the surroundings were silent, as if the two kidnappers who captured Nick didn't say much.

   Through the gaps in the burlap pockets, he noticed that it was already dawn, and he had been thinking about this unfortunate incident since he woke up, and then he couldn't help but feel a sense of anxiety. Fortunately, this anxiety didn't last long. As soon as the boat docked, the kidnappers lifted him up from left to right. He felt that he could walk without his feet touching the ground.

   They should have come to a small island like a tropical jungle. There are thick fallen leaves on the ground, and branches are constantly hitting Nick on the road.

Maybe half an hour later, Nick felt like he had walked into a house. This was mainly because of the flat ground and the clanging sound of weapons colliding. When he got to this place, the kidnappers released the sack on Nick's head. open.

   This is a very ordinary yard, which is very common in the countryside, but considering that it is built on an island, it is very time-consuming and laborious to carry these wood and stones.

  There is a long table in the yard, and a tall man sits on the chair next to him. He is dressed in Ryukyu clothes and covered with a scarlet cloak. His face looked pale, as if he was seriously ill, and behind him a group of people were wielding swords, which didn't look like a duel, but more like some kind of practice.

   A thin man was holding a large rooster whose comb was red as if it was about to drip blood. It was relatively honest at first, but as it got closer and closer to the tall man, it began to struggle violently, flapping its wings continuously, and the wind mixed with chicken feathers flying around, and the thin man could hardly control it.

   The tall man looked at it with a blank expression. After a while, he picked up a sword on the table, pulled it out with a "swoosh", and then waved it casually, and the chicken head fell to the ground.

At this time, the chicken was still struggling, and it seemed that its body had been separated from its head. After filling the bowl, the chicken gradually stopped moving. Then the tall man picked up the bowl with blood and drank it like water.

   If it weren't for the fact that it was broad daylight, he looked like a vampire.

   "Do you know who I am?" the tall man asked Nick in English after drinking the blood.

   There was blood on the corners of his mouth and between his teeth.

   "No..." Nick answered with some fear, "Did I participate in your ceremony?"

   The tall man frowned in confusion.

   "I heard that you have to kill chickens for rituals," Nick said.

   "Master, this is drinking medicine." The tall man said impatiently, "I was bitten by humerus grass. If I want to detoxify, I have to drink chicken blood, and it's noon."

   "Do you know what humerus is?" the thin man asked Nick arrogantly.

   "I heard from the sailors." Nick said calmly. "That grass looks like human hair, black and thin, but its flowers are red and only the size of a grain of wheat."

"It also has a name, the forbidden woman. There are so many people, and the Lord came back alive. If you answer honestly, I will spare your life. If you dare to talk nonsense, just stay and make medicine for me. "

   Before Nick could react, the skinny man had already threw the big headless **** at his feet, and it fluttered twice.

  Nick just remembered, and he said that every time someone beheaded in a vegetable market, someone would buy the blood of a death row prisoner and take it back as medicine.

   "Do you understand?" the tall man asked.

  Nick nodded quickly.

   Immediately after, he squatted down and, regardless of the **** mouth, began to question Nick what he wanted to ask.
