Chapter 99: Blocking Is Worse than Unblocking

As a leader, Yue Yuan naturally realized this.

After all, more than 3,000 years ago, the first emperor who ended the feudal system of China and created a centralized system had already realized the importance of unified language and writing.

Yes, it was the first emperor who ended the feudal system, not the first emperor who created the feudal system.

Because as early as when Yue Yuan was young, the textbooks he studied had redefined the feudal system according to China's own development context.

The so-called feudalism is literally the enfeoffment of land and the establishment of a country. The feudal system was the enfeoffment of the world like the Zhou Dynasty, and the establishment of various vassal states. Since the Qin Dynasty, it has been a centralized system or a county system. Of course, it can also be called an imperial system, anyway, it is not a feudal dynasty.

In fact, if it were not for frequent communication with Yi Kai, Yue Yuan would not even know that in Yi Kai's era, there was such a thing as defining the feudal system for more than 2,000 years after the Qin Dynasty.

Yue Yuan is not blind to history, but he is not a professional history student after all, so it is normal not to know such things.

According to Yi Kai, the definition was actually misled by the mainstream Western academic community at that time, and the city-state system there was forcibly applied to themselves. Later, as China returned to its historical position, scholars with cultural confidence gradually gained the right to speak, and then revised these things according to their own situation.

At this moment, Yue Yuan probably browsed through the dozens of pages of the proposal and found that there seemed to be some room for optimization in the legal provisions in the proposal.

So he said: "In terms of legal provisions, you'd better consult legal experts. Since this matter is to be done, it must be done well. Language and culture are the treasure house of human civilization. Its value cannot be measured by material standards. The language of a race reflects the characteristics of the race. It not only contains the history and culture of the race, but also contains the race's views on life, lifestyle, and way of thinking. And this work cannot be done overnight. After the draft is passed, you will probably be busy for a long time."

"Don't worry, Director, we will definitely do it well." Several people said in unison.

They obviously understood what Yue Yuan meant.

Yue Yuan was not only talking about Chinese characters, but also expanded to other languages.

"Language and culture are the treasure house of human civilization." This means that they should not only do a good job in Chinese language, but also sort out various languages ​​of human beings in the past, because their languages ​​and cultures are the treasure house of human beings.

Of course, sorting out other languages ​​does not mean that multilingualism will be implemented in the future human society, but sorting and storing them in the human database.

Because language contains the way of thinking, people who speak different languages ​​must have different ways of thinking, so it is impossible to truly become a country.

Therefore, more than 3,000 years ago, the first emperor wanted to "write the same text", but because each language contains different cultural information and ways of thinking, the first emperor could not let the writing of the six countries disappear.

So there was a move to gather the books of the six countries in the Qin Palace, which was done to prevent the language and cultural diversity of the six countries from disappearing completely.

But the Chu people burned it down.

In fact, this matter is still quite difficult and the workload is also large. Because of the nature of Callisto, and the disaster was too sudden at that time, there is not much language information in the base database.

You don't have to learn these languages, but you should try to include them in the database. After all, they are all human cultural heritage, and these things may be useful in analyzing alien languages ​​in the future.

Seeing that the matter has come to an end for the time being, Yue Yuan said: "Okay, then you can go back first, and improve the proposal before the voting meeting starts!"

As he said, he looked at the time and found that it was quite late. He wanted to go to the Institute of Physics to learn about the specific details of controlled nuclear fusion technology, but now he was interrupted by Lu Xiaofen and her group of language workers. It seems that he can only do it another day.

However, it was precisely because of this interruption that Yue Yuan realized the importance of cultural construction.

Time passed day by day.

Half a month later, the revised "Draft of Several Suggestions on Language and Character Standardization" proposal was successfully passed at the voting meeting, and then came to the announcement stage.

Because most of the people on the Hope are Chinese, this policy of standardizing and rigorous Chinese characters has received great attention and has received widespread support among the people on the Hope.

Especially when seeing the complete cancellation of blocked characters and blocked words, I don't know how many people took out their old wine that had been sealed for many years to celebrate.

After getting drunk, he even shouted that the literary inquisition was finally over.

"Hahaha, Lao Pao, you can go away now." A netizen x-on:ed his friend in the family and friends chat group, and he happily used the word "go away" instead of "run" as before.

"Eat shit!" The person called Lao Pao immediately replied in the group, and he could also blatantly use the word "shit" instead of "xiang".

And "run" and "xiang" finally returned to their original meanings.

"Do you have any culture? Apart from these, you don't know anything else?" The netizen immediately condemned Lao Pao for using the word "shit".

"Why not? Let me recite a poem for you: Stop the car and sit to enjoy the maple forest in the evening, the frost leaves are redder than the flowers in February!" Lao Pao sent a verbal reply.

Another group member directly bubbled: "You are really amazing!"

"Not to mention, those language experts finally did something practical this time. They actually realized that it is better to block than to open up. Haha, I finally don't have to worry about using Sherlock Holmes code to communicate with you in the future." Another person in the group has been diving for many years. My friends also got excited.

"What kind of understanding, if you ask me, they have actually known this truth for a long time, but it was just before"

Similar conversations like this can be found everywhere on the Hope intranet. Most of them are words to express one's feelings, but there are also some that go too far.

These people directly picked up the communicator and sent a bunch of text that could only display *** to their friends of the opposite sex to express their inner resentment for many years.

After the efforts of the language workers, there was a wave of language craze aboard the Hope.

The play is not nonsense, and the adaptation is not random fabrication.

I know this is a long-held vent, but after all, this trend is very undesirable. The original intention of this proposal by language workers is not to turn human civilization into an existence full of foul language and Internet pornography.

So after this craze appeared, the Propaganda Department once again played to their strengths and began to guide this phenomenon from a moral perspective.

The Propaganda Department is well prepared because this kind of problem has been foreseen by relevant scholars during the proposal voting stage.

Indeed, such a proposal is a double-edged sword, but humans are not afraid of it just because it is a double-edged sword. After all, when it comes to double-edged swords, technology is still a double-edged sword.

It is better to block than to open up.

When retarded becomes a shielded word, wisdom takes on a new meaning.

The humans on the Hope didn't want to end up using Sherlock Holmes to communicate secretly, so they chose to implement this bill.

The key to a double-edged sword is how the person holding the sword uses it.

The fault of many things is not the users, but the rule makers.

In view of such a response, linguists and language-related workers later came up with a joint proposal as a supplementary proposal to the "Draft Recommendations on Language Standards." It is still about language and writing, and the content is roughly: change back many characters that should not be simplified.

For example, return the 'cloud' to the cloud, and then dig up the 'cloud' that has been buried in the soil for countless years and use it. From then on, on the Hope, the love of human words has a heart again, and the dragon has become its original form. The dragon, the car turned into a back car

According to linguists, the purpose of this change is to turn Chinese characters into the ideograms they should be, improve the correlation between 'characters' and 'meanings', thereby reducing human memory costs and thus reducing the difficulty of learning languages. difficulty.

(PS: The content of the "." in "It's just that before" is something that the mythical beast dare not say when watching it.)
