Mohist Tang

yes! Why do we write this way! They never thought about this problem. Everyone couldn’t help but fell into thought.

“Who knows why, anyway, I wrote this since I was a kid!” Yuchi Baolin said a very straightforward sentence.

“Because the upper is the king and the parents; the lower is the Small Official is the child. The right is the big, the left is the small. We write from right to left, and we can also express the meaning of nothing. At this time The embodiment of our Confucian rituals is not like other miscellaneous studies that are indifferent and do not know the size.” Kong Huisuo said proudly and looked at Mo Dun contemptuously.

“Well said!” The other Imperial College of Supreme Learning students couldn’t help but applaud.

Liu Yinian looked at Kong Huisuo with satisfaction and consciously raised her face. Kong Yingda is also slightly nodded. This younger generation is indeed worth training, talented and knowledgeable.

“That’s great!” Mo Dun applauded with a sneer, “But I heard that the brush is from the Mengtian invention, and the Mengjia is the Military School of Thought!, you are sure the Mengtian invention brush At that time, I thought of Confucian etiquette!”

Mo Dun ruthless stripped away the hypocritical faces of Confucianism, and made all the Imperial College of Supreme Learning embarrassed faces.

Kong Huisuo immediately flushed. Although he only wanted to put gold on the face of Confucianism, he ignored the invention of the brush. Meng Tian was from the Military School of Thought.

Kong Yingda and Liu Yinian are also embarrassed. This joke is not funny!

“We don’t know, then you know!” Kong Huisuo blushed and choked on Mo Dun.

“Of course I know.” Mo Dun slightly smiled and took out a booklet from his desk. Mo Dun already knew that writing with a hard pen would cause some criticism, and he had thought of a countermeasure and prepared the slips in advance.

“Book slips!”

Everyone was at a loss, only Kong Yingda and Liu Yinian looking thoughtful.

“Look at all of you, opening the volume is naturally the right hand to hold the end, and the left hand is easy to open. Therefore, ancient writing is from top to bottom, from right to left.” Mo Dun right hand holds The book slip, the first bamboo piece, slowly opened the bamboo slip with his left hand, and a blank bamboo slip appeared in front of everyone. Take the expensive wolf pen in front of Liu Yinian and write a few big and ugly words.

Mo Dun opened and closed the slip and showed it to everyone.

“so that’s how it is!” Everyone suddenly realized, and at the same time, many people lost their hearts. He originally thought that some tall brush writing rules were formed to adapt to the bamboo tube.

“The writing of brush writing from top to bottom, from right to left, was formed for the convenience of writing bamboo slips. Later, bamboo slips were gradually replaced by paper. Although bamboo slips disappeared, this writing method has spread. I have come down.

The quill pen is small and fast in order to support the hand on the desktop, but in order to avoid the ink on the clothes and fuzz the font, you can only choose from the right To the left, the way of writing from top to bottom! This has nothing to do with etiquette and belief, just to make writing more convenient!”

Mo Dun said as he picked up the writing brush and leaned on the table, writing quickly A line of words is presented, and it is directly demonstrated to everyone.

“so that’s how it is! Just for convenience!”

Everyone understands it, as if in a dream, they dont want to believe in calligraphy that is regarded as sacred. The source is so, but the facts are in front of them, but they have to be convincing.

Kong Huisuo’s face was ashamed, Mo Dun flushed his face with the facts, how ridiculous his own arrogance before now think of.

“Even so, it must be banned, otherwise the mixing of the two writing methods on the market will cause a lot of confusion.” Liu Yinian is still stubborn, and more terrifying is that most of the Imperial College of Supreme Nodded students agree with this view.

“Joke!” Mo Dun said angrily: “The quill pen is cheap, convenient and quick to write, and saves paper. It can save poor students at least 90% of the cost every year, and half the time. Can finish the coursework and have more time to study. How many students in Great Tang cant afford pens, inks, papers and inkstones, and how many people study hard at night, lest you dont have enough time, for your own selfishness, even thinking of prohibiting. Do you know how many poor children you have blocked the way to study.”

Mo Dun is as sharp as a sword, every word is cut into the hearts of everyone, making many people feel ashamed. Many poor children couldn’t help crying, but they knew how much their families paid for the expensive pen, ink, paper and inkstone.

“The inheritance can’t be broken!” Liu Yinian put up a desperate struggle said.

“Leave aside the quill pen, it saves money, ink, and time. Let’s talk about saving effort.”

The quill pen moves from left to right because the palm of the hand can support it On the desktop, you can support long-term writing, and writing with a brush must hang your arms in the air. Long-term writing will make you more tired. If you use it for a long time, I am afraid it will not feel good! “

Mo Dun slaps Xiong Maocai hard on the right shoulder, and directly slaps Xiong Maocai to take a cold breath.

“Old bear! Frozen shoulder is very serious! “Mo Dun grinned heartlessly.

“How do you know?” “Xiong Maocai opened his eyes differently. This disease has been plagued by him for a long time and has not been resolved.

The calligraphy in it is the best. I must practice the most at ordinary times. Of course, count yours. The most serious! Mo Dun slandered in his heart.

No one who can enter the Imperial College of Supreme Learning is not a fool. Xiong Maocai thought about it, and immediately woke up, clutching his shoulders and said: “You mean my shoulders Yan did calligraphy for a long time? “

“Also! “Mo Dun also tugged an ancient prose.

As soon as this statement came out, many people involuntarily held their right shoulders. There was Xiong Maocai alone, and Mo Dun who was present was probably Qin Huaiyu III. People dont have frozen shoulders.

“Fortunately, I dont write long words, otherwise…! “Qin Huaiyu three people thought with lingering fears.

Mo Dun looked around all around and slowly said: “Quill pens save time, effort, money and ink. This is not forbidden. Just like paper replacing bamboo slips, this is a historical inevitability, not for etiquette, just because it is convenient to save money! You want to ban quill pens to protect writing brushes. Have you ever thought that after Cai Hou improved papermaking, did a great scholar abolish paper in order to protect bamboo slips? “

“Of course, we are not qualified to decide what pen others use. All this depends on our own choice. As for which one has the upper hand, that will be a hundred years later. It is too early to argue! “

A controversy ended. No one talks about writing brushes and quill pens anymore. The Imperial College of Supreme Learning defaults to Mo Dun using quill pens. Mo Dun is also wise not to publicize quill pens, as if this This controversy has never happened.

Xiong Maocai hides with interest every time he sees Mo Dun. Mo Dun uses the pioneering Song Ti to prove that he has completely crushed the Imperial College of Supreme Learning with six subjects.

It’s just that after Mo Dun’s quill was taken away by Kong Yingda for research, Mo Dun turned around three less time.

Needless to say, it must be Qin Huaiyu’s three thoughts. Taken by the lazy guy, Mo Dun slightly smiled, at least this is a good start.
