17 Shadows of Knowledge Monopoly

Thinking about the future forum, many people brag about traditional Chinese characters for a long time, how beautiful they are, but let alone the rare characters, most of them can’t write traditional Chinese characters with melancholy turtles. Many of the so-called ability to write have typos. They say that these people are Kong Yiji pretending to be juren and even praise them. They are simply pretending to be cultural people, and they are not afraid of being too sucked.

"Comrade Bai Yu, you are really resentful, but traditional Chinese characters are still valuable in the fields of ancient literature and calligraphy. Just abolish them. Promoting simplified characters is indeed an urgent task." Chairman Li Desheng didn't know why Liu Baiyu had such a big opinion, and found it a bit funny.

"The abolition is a bit too much. Chairman, this is not a simple font problem, but an impact of advanced to backward, industrial civilization on the old era, or even if it is not done well, it will cause major political issues. So my opinion is to simply make things bigger and launch a re-evaluation of Chinese history!"

"Well, Comrade Bai Yu can tell me in detail about your views?" Chairman Li Desheng asked curiously.

It should be said that the modern poor q on the Internet, even the traditional Chinese turtle is not written correctly, many of them are not cultured and ignorant, as if the simplified characters were thought out by the people's government. In fact, it is not that true at all!

The People's Government's "General Table of Simplified Characters" collected a total of 2,274 simplified characters and 14 simplified radicals) and conducted statistics and found that more than 80% of them (420 words: 68 characters in the pre-Qin period, 96 characters in the Qin and Han dynasties, 32 characters in the Three Kingdoms, Jin and Southern and Northern Dynasties, 29 characters in the Sui, Tang and Five Dynasties, 82 characters in the Song, Liao, Jin and Yuan dynasties, 53 characters in the Ming and Qing dynasties, and 60 characters in the Republic of China) were all popular or existing before liberation, and there were 101 characters in the liberated areas and after the founding of the country. [

True calligraphy enthusiasts can see that from Wang Xizhi to Liu Gongquan, there are many simplified characters in ancient times. In fact, before the founding of New China, simplified characters were standardized. It was just that the Kuomintang was too weak to the old literati and did not implement them. Of course, with the Kuomintang's tragic organizational ability, even if it was created, it was afraid that it would not be able to achieve the great cause of popularizing education in the mainland with hundreds of millions of people.

In August 1935, the Ministry of Education of the National Government published the "First Batch Simplified Chinese Characters Table", which included 324 of the most widely circulated common characters among the people, ancient characters and cursive characters. However, due to controversy, in February of the following year, the "First Batch Simplified Chinese Characters Table" was taken back... The two explanations of the "First Batch Simplified Chinese Characters Table" in the Republic of China are as follows: 1) Simplified Chinese characters are words with simple strokes, easy to recognize and write. Different from regular characters, they can be replaced by regular characters written in traditional characters. 2) The simplified Chinese characters listed in this table include common characters, ancient characters, cursive characters, etc. Vulgar characters such as "Type, Bao, Rock, Silkworm", etc., ancient characters such as "Qi, Wu, Kuang, Guang", etc., and cursive scripts such as "Shi, Real, Wei, Hui", etc., are all used by people who have already used it.

The Kuomintang government has not yet implemented simplified characters in order to appease the old literati, so it has been described as traditional characters as regular characters, which is three points shorter. In the face of the siege of the old literati, how can it be invincible?

The modern Chinese character simplification movement originated from the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. In order to improve the literacy rate, the jade seal and official documents of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom were written in simplified Chinese. According to informal statistics, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom used more than 100 simplified Chinese characters, of which 80% were later adopted (Contemporary Chinese Reform P.38). The most famous character of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was to change the "or" of "country (country, country)" to "king", but after the fall of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, the text simplification movement also stopped.

The vernacular movement of the May Fourth Movement is well known to everyone. In fact, the simplified movement of writing should be compared with the vernacular movement, because both are part of the New Culture Movement. During this period, many people proposed ways to improve the knowledge level of Chinese people. To improve the knowledge level, first improve the literacy rate. To increase the literacy rate, complex Chinese characters must be simplified. Simplified writing has been favored by many intellectuals, and most intellectuals who advocate using vernacular language agree with simplification of text. The famous Chinese scholar Hu Shi also highly supported [3]

On February 24, 1935, Shanghai's "Shenbao" first published the news report of "Promoting the Words in Hand", and also published "The Origin of the Words in Hand" and "The First Issue of the Words in Hand". Other newspapers and magazines in Shanghai reprinted "The Origin of the Words in Hand". The movement of "The Origin of the Words in Hand" was jointly initiated by 200 well-known figures in the cultural and educational circles at that time, including Cai Yuanpei, Shao Lizi, Tao Xingzhi, Guo Moruo, Hu Yuzhi, Chen Wangdao, Ye Shengtao, Ba Jin, Lao She, Zheng Zhenduo, Zhu Ziqing, Li Gongpu, Ai Siqi, Yu Dafu, Hu Feng, Lin Handa, Ye Laishi, and 15 magazines including "Taibai", "Literature", "Translation", "New China", "Reading Life", and "World Knowledge".

On August 21, 1935, the Ministry of Education of the Republic of China issued the Ministry of Education No. 11400, officially promulgating the "First Batch of Simplified Chinese Character Table". Most of the 300 words collected in the "First Batch of Simplified Chinese Character Table" were adopted by the Ministry of Education of the Republic of China in 1935. That is, 324 of the 2400 words in the "Simplified Chinese Character Table" compiled by Qian Xuantong. This was the first time that the government implemented a large-scale simplified Chinese characters. However, Dai Jitao and other Kuomintang cultural relics strongly opposed it. On February 5, 1936, the Ministry of Education followed the order of the Executive Yuan, and ordered that "simplified Chinese characters should be temporarily suspended." The "First Batch of Simplified Chinese Character Table" was revoked and abolished.

In October 1936, Rong Geng published the "Simplified Chinese Dictionary" and offered a simplified Chinese character course at Yenching University for experimentation.

In 1937, the first table of "Simplified Chinese Character Table" published by the Font Research Association of the Peking Institute has included 1,700 simplified Chinese characters. It was only when the Anti-Japanese War broke out that the simplification work of Chinese characters was forced to stop.

To be honest, the National Government is also promoting simplified characters, but it is not successful because of its incompetence, busy with civil war, etc., but it is far from being slandered by the people who often use traditional Taiwanese characters to talk about things.

Of course, the pragmatism of the Communist government in the liberated areas and the incompetence and stupidity of the National Government.

By the outbreak of World War II, the Chinese character simplification movement was promoted within the rule of the Communist Party. The newspapers and magazines in the district used existing or created simplified characters, also known as "Liberation Characters". But people were more keen on the creation of new characters. By the time the founding of New China, many new characters had been circulated in society. Among them, "Pinyin French in Mandarin Roman characters" (abbreviated as "Guo Luo") founded by linguists Li Jinxi and Zhao Yuanren, and Qu Qiubai and the Soviet Union.

The Latinized New Text (hereinafter referred to as "Bei La") jointly formulated by sinologists has the greatest influence. Under the advocacy of Wu Yuzhang, "Bei La" even gained a status comparable to Chinese characters in Yan'an. Many illiterate farmers got blind through this set of pinyin characters, and were able to read pinyin newspapers, but also wrote simple letters. This strengthened the confidence of linguists in the new characters. However, due to years of war, the experiments and promotion of new characters have never been launched nationwide.

In May 1949, Li Jinxi, a linguist who has been committed to reforming Chinese characters, and language experts from many universities, suggested to Wu Yuzhang, one of the "five elders" of the Communist Party of China, to establish a text reform research association to restore the text reform work that was repeatedly interrupted by war.

On October 10, 1949, the China Character Reform Association was established, and the sorting and simplification of Chinese characters became one of the goals of the association's research. However, after the association was established, people's enthusiasm for new characters was far higher than that of simplifying Chinese characters. (It mainly refers to the creation of a new pinyin script to replace Chinese characters.) Less than half a year after the association was established, the association received nearly 100 new characters plans across the country. At the same time, new characters research organizations across the country were also established. According to statistics, in 1950 alone, 60 counties across the country carried out promotion activities for new characters, more than 14,000 people participated in the study, and 6 universities and 3 middle schools listed new characters as formal courses. But at that time, the central government had not had time to consider this issue. Liu Shaoqi replied to Wu Yuzhang and said: "This group can be organized, but it cannot be limited to new characters. Chinese characters should also be studied and sorted out for public application."

In July 1950, Wu Yuzhang conveyed Mao Zedong's instructions at the National Association for Reform of Characters: "Simplified Chinese characters" should be first used for text reform, and should not be separated from reality and cut off history. It was not until this time that the research and selection of simplified Chinese characters really began.

In fact, compared with the popular new writing faction, the alphabetical faction, the Party Central Committee headed by the Chairman is the factual faction in the writing, and has introduced simplified characters that are neither out of reality nor cut off history.

On January 1, 1956, this time and space were arranged in a horizontal arrangement of newspapers and magazines across the country, using simplified characters.

On January 28, 1956, it was implemented in four batches by 515 simplified characters (some say 517 simplified characters) and 54 simplified radicals.

On February 1, 1956, the first batch of 230 simplified Chinese characters and 30 analogical radicals were officially announced. The common characters that have been used in the folk for thousands of years finally have a legal identity.

As for the 100 million time and space where Liu Baiyu is located, the simplified dictionary brought by Liu Baiyu in advance has been advanced by as many as seven years!

Back at the place where Liu Baiyu and the Chairman were talking, Liu Baiyu was talking: "Chairman, writing is first and for the most working people, the simplification is the better. For a few reactionary intellectuals, the more complex the writing is, the more beneficial it is to them. Didn't the working people in the old society say that they would open their eyes when they enter the yamen, and the inexplicable land and houses will be returned to others! This even scares the working people so hard that they dare not sign contracts - seriously hindering social progress!"

"Do you mean new pinyin characters to replace Chinese characters? This is the simplest on paper." The chairman said with a smile.

"It is true that the period of new pinyin characters to replace the enlightenment of Chinese characters is faster - but later on, some professional things that are not professionals can't understand at all - will cause knowledge monopoly."

"Hmm? Knowledge monopoly?" the chairman asked curiously.

"This, Chairman, let me explain the information. Look, there is such a chemical substance, and this is the information."

Hydrooxygenic acid is a colorless, odorless and odorless chemical substance. Also known as dizero ether, n-oxane, oxyethylene, hydrogen hydroxide, decarbonized formaldehyde, dihydrogen monoxide, hydrogen superoxygen, decyanol zero aldehyde oxime, dimerhydrooxygenic anhydride, hydrogenated desulfurization sulfuric acid, oxidized decarboxylic acid, hydrogenated debenzyl alcohol, hydrogenated denitritic nitric acid, hydrogenated decyanol, hydrogenated decyanol, hydrogenated decyanol, hydrogenated decyanol, hydrogenated decyanol, hydrogenated alkaline acid, is the most important part of acid rain, can cause strong natural disasters, promote mudslides and landslides, and can have adverse effects on almost all human materials at a certain temperature. It has a fatal impact on power equipment and mechanical braking devices.

It takes thousands of lives every year. According to incomplete statistics, the mortality rate caused by the inhalation of hydrooxygenic acid liquid in the respiratory tract has reached nearly one in 10,000, ranking among the top ten in abnormal deaths in humans. However, hydrooxygenic acid has more health hazards. Gasy hydrooxygenic acid may cause serious burns, and being in an environment with solid hydrooxygenic acid for a long time without protective equipment will cause blackening and necrosis of the tissues of organisms and physiological dysfunction; if the content of hydrooxygenic acid in organisms is too high, it will also cause symptoms such as sweat, excessive secretion of urine, nausea, vomiting and swelling. In addition, hydrooxygenic acid will disrupt the inherent equilibrium state of electrolytes in the body's tissue fluid. Hydrooxygenic acid is not only found in many disease tissues, such as malignant tumors, but a large number of scientific facts have proved that hydrooxygenic acid is a necessary condition for the formation of many diseases. For people who are addicted to using hydrooxygenic acid, no means can help them get rid of it, and quitting means death.

Hydrooxyacid has caused significant environmental harm, and its specific manifestations are as follows:

In today's world, a large amount of hydroxide acid can be found in almost all streams, rivers, lakes and reservoirs, and this substance even exists in the Arctic glaciers. The losses caused to humans by excessive hydroxide acid exceed 10 billion US dollars every year.

Despite its extreme danger, hydroxide acid is the darling of modern industry. Governments use this substance in large quantities in industry because of its "it can contribute to economic development." Some industries that require a large amount of consumption of this substance include: nuclear power generation and thermal power generation, chemical industry, pesticide production, foam plastics, ore dressing, papermaking, leather tanning, application of pesticides and chemical fertilizers (it is worth noting that this is a substance that is difficult to completely remove).

application:

In fact, the military department has always had a great interest in the military uses of hydroxide acid. The military department has been conducting experiments on the purification and application of hydroxide acid. In order to control and utilize it in war, it has designed weapons and equipment that cost hundreds of millions of yuan. All major powers and some countries that want to have great military development have invested a lot of manpower and material resources in this regard. The military departments of each country have complex systems to obtain pure hydroxide acid, and the reserves of this substance in the US military have exceeded 10,000 tons.

Online information shows that if the content of hydroxide acid in organisms is too high, it will cause symptoms such as sweat, excessive secretion of urine, nausea, vomiting and swelling. In addition, hydroxide acid will disrupt the inherent equilibrium of electrolytes in the body's tissue fluid. People who are addicted to it will quit means death. Online information also clearly points out that "hydroxide acid" is also a necessary raw material for making foam plastics. That is to say, people must deal with it every day in their daily lives."

Liu Baiyu's series of tricks made Chairman Li Desheng suddenly change his color at first, but then laughed:

"Bai Yu, what you said is so scary, but based on my experience, it is too alarmist, and it is basically a liar who can kill people..."

"Chairman, you're really not a liar. If you add this sentence, you'll understand.

The substance has a structural formula of H-O-H, and can be ionized to H+ and OH- under certain circumstances."

"Isn't this water? Bai Yu, you are so humorous..." Chairman Li Desheng smiled first, and then suddenly fell into deep thought:

"Bai Yu, what you mean is that the new pinyin-based characters will develop into ordinary people. No, even those with college education who have not learned the words in this major - just regard the words in this major as a foreign language - lead to knowledge monopoly? Even academic lords?" Chairman Li Desheng said leisurely.

"Isn't there any reason why many experts in English-speaking countries come from?"

"I thought the most clever trick was nine true and one false. Now it seems that the most clever trick was all true..."

Chairman Li Desheng thought something...

"In short, it is unreliable to be greedy for the convenience of literacy and new pinyin texts - and history has proved that simplified characters are the best solution." Liu Baiyu said in a realistic manner.

"It's right, but what do you think of the regular tablets held by old scholars?" Chairman Li Desheng asked.

"The regular characters? To put it nicely, I think they are the characters Tartar. Looking at the five thousand years of writing history, Chinese characters are simplified as a trend. Only in the Qing Dynasty, Chinese characters were forcibly developed, and they were actually all the same as literary inquisitions!" Liu Baiyu said angrily.

"The word "Tartar"? Comrade Bai Yu, you are too radical. New China has just been established, and it is not a good thing to attack from all directions." The Chairman did not expect that once Liu Bai Yu leaned left, he would be so radical, and he couldn't help laughing.

"Chairman, you said that we must adhere to principles and seek unity in the struggle. We have a new China, we must establish a regime to go to the countryside, popularize education, and it is inevitable to confront the interests of these old literati. My opinion is to take the initiative to lead the battlefield elsewhere. Beat the old literati off guard!" Liu Baiyu became more and more excited as he spoke, and his face turned red.

"Comrade Bai Yu, are you kidding? But by the way, the central government cannot endorse you on this matter. It can only be your personal opinion. If you make a big deal, your pressure will be extraordinary." Chairman Li Desheng felt that Liu Bai Yu was a little too confident and hurriedly hit him.

"Bai Yu, what you mean is to limit the right of intellectuals to speak in state affairs..." Liu Baiyu's little thoughts were not a rival to the Politburo like Chairman Li Desheng. At the beginning, Chairman Li Desheng knew Liu Baiyu's little thoughts.

"I think the modern concept of governing the country is to govern the country by experts and supervise the people--"

"Do you think those old pedantics are people?"
