    Yougan's wife, Yu Lu, went to the south room and asked Ji Xu: "It's been a day since his father took them both to the market, why hasn't he come back?"

    Ji Xu then rode a white horse to the capital market.

    The carriages and horses for the market usually parked around the Drum Tower, so Ji Xu went directly to the "Qizheng Building", and saw the Zhen family's carriage parked at the end of Yan'er Xie Street from a long distance away, so he hurriedly drove his horse over and dismounted  He checked, but Zhen Youcai was the only one in the car, and he fell asleep lazily.

    Ji Xu woke him up and said, "Can you sleep in such a cold day?"

    Seeing that it was his teacher, Youcai shouted happily: "Sir, you are here too!"

    "Where's your father?"

    "In the restaurant, drinking."

    "Who is there?"

    "There are also a few uncles I don't know."

    "Have you eaten?"

    "have eaten."

    "Which restaurant are they in?"

    "Qingyun Tower, Yunhe Pavilion."

    "There must be clothes in this package!" Ji Xu's hand touched something soft, "Take out a piece and put it on. It's midnight, so don't freeze"

    Youcai replied: "Very well, sir."

    "Is this my real father!" Ji Xu pulled down the curtain of the car, muttered and left.

    [1] "A Dream of Red Mansions" by Cao Xueqin.

    Even if the weak water is three thousand, I only take a scoop to drink.

    A maid came to Yunhe Pavilion and said to the maid in the private room: "There is a young master surnamed Ji who wants to see Mr. Zhen."

    The maid in the private room walked up to Zhen Youqian and whispered something.

    The friend was taken aback, "Why is he here?"

    Qing Wan asked: "Who?"

    You Gan said, "Ji Xu."

    Batu also asked, "Who's here?"

    Yougan said: "Mr. my family's private school."

    Batu worried: "It's the middle of the night, so something happened at home?"

    "Master Ba, you don't expect me to be nice," Yougan said, "If there is any important matter at home, my housekeeper will come, so how can I send an outsider away? This Ji Xu must be gluttonous."

    Batu said: "Then quickly let him in!"

    The maid who reported the message immediately went downstairs to fetch Ji Xu, and the maid in the private room added another set of tableware.

    After a while, Ji Xu entered the room.

    Youqian introduced him and all his friends The hospitality was too great, so he had to sit down too.  Batufei asked Ji Xu to make up three glasses of wine first, and after Ji Xu drank three glasses, he drank three more glasses with everyone.

    Qingwan said to Jackson: "This gentleman from my family is not ordinary! Don't look at him as young, he is a well-known child prodigy in Sichuan. When he was nine years old, he was the 'Five Sons Jingkui' in the provincial examination'Five Kui'  , do you know what it is?"

    Jackson shook his head.

    Qing Wan told him, "It's the top five in the provincial exam."

    "Oh, so amazing!" Jackson exclaimed.

    "It's amazing, it's still to come!" Qing Wan said proudly, "He is now the favorite student of the great Confucianist Jie Xasi."

    "Oh, this is great!" Jackson excited.

    Qingwan asked: "How are you doing?"

    Jackson said: "If there is anything I don't understand, I can ask him!"

    "Really!" Qing Wan smiled, "Then why don't you hurry up and offer a toast to him?"

    When Jackson heard this, he quickly got up, picked up the wine glass, and drank a glass of wine with his head raised.

    Qing Wan said: "I asked you to respect Mr. Ji who is opposite, why did you drink it yourself?"

    Jackson said: "Didn't you say that you should do it first!"

    Everyone laughed for a while.

    Qing Wan said: "Respect first, you have to tell the person you respect, otherwise, people will think you are short of wine!"

    Jackson said again: "Mr. Ji, anyway, I did it, now it's your turn."

    Everyone smiled and shook their heads.

    Ji Xu said: "Mr. Jack, you don't have to be polite, sit down and talk about something."

    "I came up with a book, "Advice for the Government" written by Zhang Yanghao, but the text on it is too profound, and I always make mistakes in my understanding." Jackson said, "Why is it written in the book that you usually say  Yes, is it very different?"

    Ji Xu said: "The text written in this book is called 'classical Chinese', which is what the literati say¡ªsuccinct and clear."

    "Then you, do literati communicate like this?" Jackson said, "There are traces of pictures in the shape, and it is easy to beautify it with the writer's aesthetic perception when writing, and become artistic characters, and then develop the art of calligraphy.  Classical poetry, lyrics and Fu pay attention to the number of words and the corresponding rhythm.  From "The Book of Songs" to Han Fu, from Tang poetry and Song Ci to Yuan opera, the style of the integration of form, sound and meaning of Chinese characters provides great convenience for the rhythm of Chinese poetry, forming a unique literary style of Chinese.  The delicate and timeless couplets in Chinese and the lantern riddles that appeal to both refined and popular tastes all rely on the structural characteristics of Chinese characters.  In short, Chinese characters have made outstanding contributions to the prosperity of Chinese culture and the formation of national character.

    2. The openness of Chinese characters

    Chinese characters are characterized by openness.  Chinese characters are ideographic characters with three-dimensional combination of form, sound and meaning, and their core "meaning" is very stable; their written "glyphs" can be simplified or complicated according to the development of the times; their "sounds" can be pronounced according to the requirements of different regional dialect systems.  No matter how the "shape and sound" change, the meaning remains unchanged after all.  This open feature makes Chinese characters have tenacious vitality and the ability to radiate to the outside world.

    Chinese has been a multi-dialect language since ancient times.  The development of Chinese is a process of continuous integration and differentiation.  The best thing about Chinese characters is that they can adapt to the needs of multiple dialects. No matter what dialect you use to express the pronunciation, its meaning remains the same.  Thirteen Chinese dialects of the Han Dynasty were recorded in Yang Xiong's "Guo Xuan Envoy Jue Dai Yu Shi Bie Guo Dialect".  Today, there are still 68 sub-dialects within the seven major dialects (or ten dialects) of Chinese, and 85 sub-dialects can be divided under them.  From the survey of Chinese dialects and people¡¯s actual communication, it is known that it is difficult for each dialect to understand each other. Even within the dialect, due to differences in regional ethnic groups, there are also phenomena that you say I can¡¯t understand, but these are basically due to the existence of Chinese characters.  Easy to solve.  No matter what dialect is used everywhere, the meaning of Chinese characters is consistent.  All obstacles to communication can be understood with the help of Chinese characters.  Each dialect can be pronounced according to its own phonetic system, but the meaning expressed is the same.  The super-dialect nature of Chinese characters enables the inheritance of rich and colorful Chinese dialects, the preservation of the characteristics of various ethnic groups of the Han nationality, and the development of the diversity of Chinese culture.  The reason why Chinese culture can flourish and be full of charm is due to Chinese characters.

    Chinese characters not only have the function of super dialect, but also have the function of super language.  Chinese characters have been borrowed by many ethnic minorities in China to form Zhuang characters, Miao characters, and Dong characters.  In history, Vietnam, Korea, and Japan also accepted Chinese culture and Chinese immigrants in large numbers, and borrowed Chinese characters to record their languages.  Vietnam has been using Chinese characters since ancient times.  It was not until modern times that it became a French colony that a new phonetic alphabet was developed.  The Korean peninsula has used Chinese characters for a long time. It was only four hundred years ago that it had its own phonetic alphabet, and Chinese characters are no longer used.  After the introduction of Chinese characters to Japan, it filled the gap that Japanese did not have a writing system.  Japanese official early official letters, documents, historical and cultural classics are all written in Chinese characters.  Since modern times, although Japan has also advocated the abolition or restriction of Chinese characters, none of them can change the Japanese complex of Chinese characters in the end.

    The openness of Chinese characters has made great contributions to the cultural inheritance of many nations and countries, and has built a far-reaching cultural circle of Chinese characters in Asia.

    3. The cohesion of Chinese characters

    ?Chinese history lasts for five thousand years. In this long history, China has been divided and united, but they have all moved towards unification in the end. This is inseparable from the role of Chinese characters in enhancing national cohesion and national identity.  After Qin Shihuang unified China, "writing with the same text", Tuo Bahong, the leader of the Xianbei tribe in the Northern Wei Dynasty, required Xianbei people to be able to speak Chinese and write Chinese characters after they occupied China militarily.  The cohesion of Chinese characters cannot be underestimated.

    Chinese characters have always been the most important carrier of Chinese culture.  The vast classics of Chinese culture have gathered the wisdom of the Chinese nation, and various ancient books have been able to remain intact until now, thanks to Chinese characters.  From the chronicles of Shang and Zhou Dynasties, hundreds of schools of pre-Qin scholars, Sima Qian's "Historical Records" and Xu Shen's "Shuowen", to Qing Dynasty's "Complete Tang Poems", "Siku Quanshu" and "A Dream of Red Mansions".  Chinese characters maintain a unified written language and promote the inheritance of a unified national culture.

    Chinese characters have been respected by people for a long time.  For thousands of years, the reading and literacy teaching in schools (private schools) has told us to be in awe of language and characters.  Our ancestors told us that calligraphy and paper should not be disposed of at will, otherwise it would be a blasphemy against Confucius.  The concept of "respecting calligraphy and paper" has been passed down for generations.  People respect teachers, respect language and writing, and even language fetishism appears.  The aesthetic characteristics of the construction of Chinese characters fully reflect the harmonious thought of Chinese culture.  The cultural spirit of the Chinese nation displayed by Chinese characters¡ªintegrity and unity¡ªhas been passed down from generation to generation.  Chinese people have always had the saying that they can know people by seeing characters.  The spiritual self-cultivation of ancient Chinese literati can often be glimpsed through writing.

    Chinese characters as a symbolic system for recording the Chinese language go to the world with the footsteps of the Chinese. Where there are Chinese, Chinese schools will be established. Where there are Chinese schools, there will be reading and literacy teaching. The transmission and learning of Chinese characters can ensure the spread and inheritance of Chinese culture.  .  By recording the Chinese language in Chinese characters, the Chinese culture has realized the persistence and stability of inheritance, and the Chinese nation has also realized the lasting cohesion and stability.  Today, ethnic Chinese will continue to maintain and inherit Chinese culture by relying on Chinese characters as a national symbol and identity authentication.  The transtemporal nature of Chinese characters transcends different dialects and countries, maintains the identity and cohesion of the Chinese nation, and promotes national and cultural identity.  In the long history in the future, Chinese characters, as the treasure of Chinese culture, will continue to exert their unique symbolic and cultural functions.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com)The nation has also achieved lasting cohesion and stability.  Today, ethnic Chinese will continue to maintain and inherit Chinese culture by relying on Chinese characters as a national symbol and identity authentication.  The transtemporal nature of Chinese characters transcends different dialects and countries, maintains the identity and cohesion of the Chinese nation, and promotes national and cultural identity.  In the long history in the future, Chinese characters, as the treasure of Chinese culture, will continue to exert their unique symbolic and cultural functions.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
