Chapter 572 Growing Pains
Yunyao has many younger sisters, who are not a few years older than her. Li Yuan is a very capable emperor, with twenty-two sons and nineteen daughters. Now with Yunyao's elixir, I guess how many more can be born in my lifetime. My aunt's age is full from fifty to five years old.
If Li Yuan had a few more daughters, the city names of the Tang Dynasty would probably not be enough. When the princess grew up, she would have a title, and usually used the place name of the fief to be used as a title. Therefore, many princesses in the Tang Dynasty had place names, and they were named by the warships just like their descendants.
Yunyao has not yet been granted a title because he has no fiefdom yet. Of course, even if he has it, he doesn’t have to go to a fiefdom. He just needs to collect money, and he doesn’t have to participate in any management or interfere in politics. According to Li Shimin’s love for Yunyao, his fiefdom will definitely not be too bad in the future. Of course, if Yunyao encounters special circumstances, he will not have any fiefdom, but will be given a more auspicious title, such as Taiping and others.
Of course, no matter what era it is when it is reincarnation, marriage is a problem that Yun Yao needs to consider. The Tang Dynasty princess is a very hard job, because the Tang Dynasty princesses are very strong, but Yun Yao is still young and does not consider such troubles. She is inventing printing machines and typewriters with all her might.
The current writing habits are still from right to left and from top to bottom, so typewriters must also adapt to this writing method of the Tang Dynasty. The typewriter of Chinese characters can be said to be a challenge.
Before the invention of the computer, Chinese character typewriters generally had three design ideas. One was similar to the Wubi input method. They designed the strokes needed by Chinese characters, and then through memory encoding, they typed the strokes needed to the corresponding position. One was a similar method of selecting movable characters. The characters were complete, and then selected the ones needed from hundreds of characters. Another was to divide the characters into different parts, such as radicals calculated part, and the composition of the characters in the main trunk was part. For example, food, people above, and good below. For example, there is a factory outside, and white, small, and heart inside. It is to divide the complex Chinese characters into small Chinese characters.
The three solutions have their own advantages, but their disadvantages are also very large. Because Chinese characters are really a hurdle for mechanical typewriters, it was not until the era of electronic informationization that Chinese characters input had crossed a step.
After all, Chinese characters are pictographic characters, and there are too many shapes. The same gesture appears in different positions in different texts, and it is possible to be up, down, left and right. Unlike the positions of letters in foreign language words, the positions of letters will only be different from left and right, and there will be no changes in up and down.
So even if you enter a stroke, you must remember the codes in which each stroke is in different positions. For example, two, one horizontally above and the other horizontally below are two codes. This is the simplest. If it is a plump stroke, three horizontally is three codes.
Therefore, at least thousands of codes must be recorded in the stroke input.
Then divide the complex text into simple text, and there will be much less memory code, but the text structure will definitely be a mess. For example, Chang and Jing, although they are all composed of daily, if they are written in the same size of the day, then these two words have no aesthetic sense at all.
Finally, it is the way to choose characters and type. Carve all the characters in advance. When typing, select the text you need on the typewriter, and then press the typing button to select one to type. Not only does it require the position of memory text, but it is also limited by the number of words in the machine. After all, a typewriter cannot include all Chinese characters. If you encounter characters that are not on the typewriter, you will be helpless.
Therefore, Chinese characters are the hurdle of mechanical typewriters. The speed of using the above three methods is not as fast as writing directly, and then movable type is arranged quickly.
In the First World, Yun Yao used spells to solve the typing problem and directly transformed Chinese characters into magic. Initial input of Chinese characters into magic in the form of magic, and then when needed, a spell was released, the text was printed. In fact, the idea was the same as a computer, which was to informatize Chinese characters.
But the Tang Dynasty did not have this condition, either handwriting or mechanical typewriter, and could only choose one of two. In the end, Yun Yao chose a typewriter. After all, this thing is relatively simple. Although there are many restrictions, it retains the beauty of Chinese characters and does not need to exaggerate memory. It can be used as long as the eyes are free of problems, but it is just a little slower.
Of course, typewriters are not the most urgent. The most urgent thing is cheap papermaking and printing, which is the real flagship product.
At the same time, Tang Monk was ten years old and had already shown his talent for worshiping Buddha. He often added his thoughts to read Buddhist scriptures. Although he was young, his thoughts could not even be explained by many old monks.
Tang Seng studied the Yogacara school and believed that this world is false, and everything in the world is just the seeds of the Alaya consciousness, an illusion arising from the action of the six senses.
Monks say that the world is illusory, but why illusory has different explanations. The Yogacara school uses a very complex way to prove illusory, proving that everything is just the seeds of Alaya consciousness.
Everything is false, only the Alaya consciousness is true. Then there are a lot of complex Buddhist terms used to explain why we can perceive the false world and why we have seven emotions and six desires. In short, they are all false.
The Yogacara school is very complicated, so it is not popular. What is really popular is to recite "Amitabha Buddha", meditate and meditate, and suddenly realize the simple and convenient method of becoming a Buddha. If a person who is not smart thinks about the eight consciousnesses all day long, his mind will sooner or later break. Tang Monk is definitely a smart monk, so it is not difficult for him to think about the eight consciousnesses. The only thing that bothers him is that there are always conflicts and contradictions in the Buddhist scriptures. Although he is only ten years old, he has begun to bother. Is there so many contradictions in the Buddhist scriptures a matter of translation or is it originally like this? What is the content of the Buddhist scriptures?
From this time on, he had already begun to seek the true Buddhist scriptures.
However, the true Buddhist scriptures are also full of contradictions. There is no way, because Buddhist scriptures are all "false truths", they are just resting stations leading to the true truth, not the real end. Therefore, it is normal to have contradictions, because Buddhist scriptures are not the true truth. You cannot become a Buddha by reading only Buddhist scriptures. You have to rely on your own Zen to enlightenment.
Obviously, Tang Seng is still too young and does not understand Buddhist scriptures. It is just a finger, not the moon. It is just that this finger points to the east and the west. Whether the moon is east or west depends on one's own understanding.
The ten-year-old Tang monk worships Buddha every day and is very devout and hardworking. The monks in the temple take great care of Jiang Liuer who floats from the river and teaches him all his heart.
There are naturally no babies floating in the canals of the palace, but you can often see leaves or even petals floating around and writing poems. This is a game for the women of the palace. They will write poems on the leaves and petals, and float outside the palace by drifting. In this way, they express themselves and emotions, and the content of the poem is also varied.
Tang Dynasty was a dynasty of poetry. Whether it was describing scenery, recording events, lyricism, or wise aspirations, they could write poetry. Yunyao's sisters and sisters often gathered together to play this kind of game like a drifting bottle. Although there would be no reply, it did not prevent them from imagining that their poems were picked up by talented and handsome men, making them dreamt and sleeping and impressed.
