Datang: Li Shimin begged me to rebel

"Your Majesty, please tell me." Lu Dongzan took a deep breath.

"If there are no accidents, the general of Datang should be near Lhasa." Songtsan Gampo thought for a while and then said, "Although we don't expect to take back Tubo, we must do what we should do! Tang returned Tubo to us, you are an envoy, and they will not make things difficult for you."

"If Datang will not return it, ask them to return some of the items of the Buddhist temple we cultivated in Lhasa, as well as gold and silver, but you should remember that these items are not important, but what we want is an attitude. After the meeting with the other side's general is over, go to Chang'an as quickly as possible to meet His Majesty, and tell us how wronged you are. Do your best to get the benefits that are beneficial to us."

"Your Majesty, what is our appeal?" Lu Dongzan said seriously.

"If you want something, whether it is food, steel, or other materials, you can ask Datang for everything, even books." Songtsan Gampo took a deep breath and said, "Since we want to learn from Datang's If it needs to be reformed, then we don’t have enough writing in Tubo, although we have captured many scholars in this field from Tianzhu, I once thought of using Tianzhu’s writing.”

"But time is waiting for me. It will take a long time to change Sanskrit from Tianzhu script to my Tubo script, but if we want to strengthen management and learn the system of the three provinces and six parts of the Tang Dynasty, we must use Tang script and Tang characters, so in the future We all have to learn Tang Wen and Tang characters."

"Your Majesty, is there something wrong?" Lun Kerr asked hesitantly.

"Why not?" Songtsen Gampo asked.

"This...if everyone learns from the Great Tang, then wouldn't I, Tubo, all be deeply influenced by the Great Tang?" Lun Keer said.

"What's your opinion?" Songtsan Gampo looked at Lu Dongzan and Shang Xiang (today I discovered a mistake again, this person's name is actually Shang Nang, which is nang, but I checked the information and it was Xiang... Full name: Niang Mangbujie is still in the bag, forget it and let it be.) and Li Feng.

"I have no objection. You can use Tang Wen to learn Tang Dialect, and you can create our own characters, but what your majesty said is right. If we create our own characters, it will take time." Lu Dongzan said after a moment of thought.

"We need to train certain officials. The death of a large number of nobles has reduced the number of literate people. If we want to train officials, then the knowledge inherited is the most important, but we have no books in Tibet. We must either translate Sanskrit or Translating Tang Wen, but in fact... the culture of the Central Plains has a greater influence on us, and Tang Wen can carry more knowledge. Even if it is to adapt the text, I feel that Tang Wen should be used to adapt the text." Shang Xiang hesitated for a moment opened the mouth.

"It carries more knowledge? Why did the Dagong theory make such a statement?" Songtsan Gampo asked hastily.

Shang Xiang has been assisting Songtsen Gampo since he was young, and even went to the Subi tribe alone to persuade him to surrender, making Subi a part of Tubo.According to normal history, Shang Xiang would be framed by another important Tubo minister later, and then be forced to rebel by Songtsan Gampo and then killed.

However, because of Li Ke's arrival, Tubo's strategy has changed, and Shang Xiang's fate has also changed. The important minister who originally had a conflict with Shang Xiang stayed in Lhasa and was sentenced to death directly by the serf public trial.

As one of the most knowledgeable people in Tubo, Shang Xiang obviously has a say in this aspect.

"I have systematically studied the differences between Sanskrit, Tang, and Persian, and I found that, except for Tang, other scripts have a common feature, that is, all their words are composed of a certain number of basic letters different vocabulary. But this will have a big problem, that is, whenever a new vocabulary appears, it is necessary to use these letters to create a new word, and then record the new word in the dictionary or dictionary , and then the professor continues to study."

"And as time goes by, there will be more and more such vocabulary, and these brand new vocabulary, everyone needs to learn again. If you don't contact the person who learned this word, you see this vocabulary, even if you know the letters, But you don’t know the vocabulary, you don’t even know the pronunciation.”

"But the characters inherited from the Central Plains of China are different. Their most commonly used characters are only three or four thousand, and even all the characters add up to ten thousand at most. After learning these characters, even if you have new vocabulary, you don't have to go Study alone, you can read the vocabulary when you see it, even because you understand the meaning of a single word, even if the vocabulary is new, you can roughly guess its meaning."

"That is to say, the spread of Chinese characters is much higher than that of other languages. The simplest, assuming that the word eating is a newly coined word. I have learned Chinese characters. Although I don't understand the meaning of this word, I can understand it. , and can read it, when I pass it on to another person, I can directly say the pronunciation and write this phrase. As long as the other person knows the meaning of the word, he can understand it.”

"But all other characters are not good. The person who is passing it in the middle must re-learn this vocabulary and write it down. Otherwise, if you write any basic letter wrong, you will make a mistake."

"It is easier to learn in a short period of time, or to create a new character, such as this character with letters, but as time goes by, if hundreds of years have passed, the dictionary carried by this character needs to be learned. There will be more and more, more and more. As a result, even though many people can speak this language and learn this kind of writing, they still cannot read all the classics! This is the key point." Shang Xiang said seriously.

This is within the scope of his own research.

After listening to Shang Xiang's words, several people in the tent understood. After all, what Shang Xiang said was very simple.

If Li Ke heard these words, he would have to give Shang Xiang a thumbs-up. It has to be said that those who can remain in history in this era have something.

The advantages of Chinese characters are known to almost the whole world in later generations. Why from ancient times to the present, so many vassal countries around China, small countries want to create characters, and finally choose alphabets, because alphabet characters are easy to create in the early stage, and the vocabulary only needs to be continuously developed. The increase, the combination is fine.

But if you want to create characters like Chinese characters... that's not a little bit of difficulty, or without a complete historical inheritance, it is basically impossible to create such characters!

Think about it, Tibetan, Mongolian, Vietnamese, Khmer and later Cambodian, Lao, etc. are all phonemic scripts!The only widely used morphological script in the world is Chinese characters!As for Korean and Japanese, how should I put it... I can only say that I want to get rid of the influence of Chinese characters, but I find that I can't do it after getting rid of it, so I want to combine the two, and then make a thing.
