Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Yunyao has many sisters-in-law, who are not many years older than her.  Li Yuan was a very fertile emperor, with twenty-two sons and nineteen daughters. Now that he has Yunyao's elixir, he is expected to have a few more in his lifetime, and his aunt's age ranges from fifty to five years old.

    If Li Yuan had more daughters, the names of cities in the Tang Dynasty would probably not be enough. When the princess grows up, she will be given a title, usually with the place name of the fiefdom.  Therefore, many princesses in the Tang Dynasty were princesses named after places, just like how later generations named warships.

    Yunyao has not yet been granted a title because he has not yet enfeoffed a land. Of course, even if he had one, he would not have to go to the land. All he had to do was collect money and he would not need to participate in any management or politics.  According to Li Shimin's love for Yunyao, the future fiefdom will definitely not be too bad. Of course, if Yunyao encounters special circumstances, he will not have any fiefdom, but will be given a more auspicious title, such as Taiping.

    Of course, no matter what era she is reincarnated into, getting married is something Yunyao needs to consider.  Being a concubine in the Tang Dynasty was a very hard job, because the princesses in the Tang Dynasty were very powerful, but Yunyao was still young and did not think about such troublesome things. She was working hard to invent the printing press and the typewriter.

    Today¡¯s writing habits are still from right to left and top to bottom, so typewriters must also adapt to the writing method of the Tang Dynasty. Typewriters with Chinese characters can be said to be a challenge.

    Before the invention of computers, there were generally three design ideas for Chinese character typewriters. One was similar to the Wubi input method, in which the strokes required for Chinese characters were designed, and then the required strokes were typed into the corresponding positions through memory encoding.  One is a method similar to movable type selection. The characters are complete, and then the required one is selected from hundreds of characters.  Another method is to divide the characters into different parts. For example, the radicals are one part, and the constituent glyphs in the main stem are another part.  For example, when it comes to food, people are on top and good things are on the bottom.  For example, wish, the outside is a factory, and the inside is white, small, and heart.  It means splitting complex Chinese characters into small Chinese characters.

    Each of the three options has its own merits, but all have major shortcomings.  Because Chinese characters are really a hurdle for mechanical typewriters, it was not until the advent of the electronic information age that Chinese character input reached a new level.

    After all, Chinese characters are pictographic characters with too many shapes. The same gesture appears in different positions in different characters, including up, down, left and right.  Unlike letters in foreign language words, the position only differs from left to right, not up and down.

    So even if you input strokes, you have to remember the code of each stroke in different positions.  For example, two, one horizontally on the top and one horizontally on the bottom, is two codes. This is the simplest. If it is Feng, three horizontal lines are three codes.

    So you need to remember at least thousands of codes for stroke input.

    The next step is to divide complex text into simple text. The code to be memorized will be much less, but the text structure will definitely be a mess.  For example, although Chang and Jing are both composed of days, if they are written with the same size of day, then these two characters have no aesthetic feeling at all.

    The last step is the word selection typing method. Carve all the words in advance. When typing, select the words you need on the typewriter, then press the typing button and select one to type. Not only does it require memorizing the position of the words, but it is also affected by the number of words on the machine.  limits.  After all, it is impossible for a typewriter to cover all Chinese characters. If you encounter characters that are not on the typewriter, there is nothing you can do.

    Therefore, Chinese characters are a hurdle for mechanical typewriters. The speed of using the above three methods is not as fast as direct handwriting and then movable type typesetting.

    In the first mortal world, Yunyao used magic to solve the typing problem, directly converting Chinese characters into magic.  The Chinese character information is input into the spell in the form of mana in advance, and then when needed, a spell is downloaded and the text is printed.  In fact, the idea is the same as that of computers, which is to informatize Chinese characters.

    But the Tang Dynasty did not have this condition. Either handwriting or mechanical typewriter, you could only choose one of the two.  In the end, Yunyao chose a character-selective typewriter. After all, this thing is relatively simple. Although it has many limitations, it retains the beauty of Chinese characters and does not require an exaggerated memory. As long as your eyesight is fine, you can use it, but it is just a little slower.

    Of course, typewriters are not the most urgent thing. What is most urgent is cheap papermaking and printing. These are the real flagship products.

    At the same time, Tang Seng was also ten years old and had already demonstrated his talent in worshiping Buddha. He often added his own thoughts to Buddhist scriptures.  Although he is young, the content of his thoughts cannot even be answered by many old monks.

    Tang Monk studied the Consciousness-Only Sect and believed that the world is false and everything in the world is just the seeds of Alaya Consciousness, an illusion produced by the six senses.

    Monks all say that the world is illusory, but there are different explanations for why it is illusory.  The Consciousness-Only Sect uses very complicated methods to prove illusion and prove that everything is just the seed of Alaya Consciousness.

    ??Everything is false, only Alaya consciousness is real.  Then there are a lot of complicated 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 Consciousness-Only Sect, so it is not popular.  What is really popular is the simple and convenient method of becoming a Buddha by chanting "Amitabha", meditating, and achieving sudden enlightenment.  If an unintelligent person thinks about the eight consciousnesses all day long, his brain will be damaged sooner or later.  Tang Seng is definitely a smart monk, so it is not difficult for him to think about the eight consciousnesses. The only thing that worries him is that there are always conflicts and contradictions in the Buddhist scriptures. Although he is only ten years old, he has already begun to be troubled by the fact that there are so many contradictions in the Buddhist scriptures.  Is the place a problem of translation, or is it always the case?  What is the actual content of Buddhist scriptures?

    From this moment on, he began 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 rest stops on the way to the true truth, not the real end.  So it is normal to have contradictions, because Buddhist scriptures are not the truth.  You cannot become a Buddha by just reading Buddhist scriptures. To become a Buddha, you must rely on your own meditation.

    "Obviously Tang Monk is still too young and doesn't understand that Buddhist scriptures are just fingers, not the moon.  It¡¯s just that some of these fingers point to the east and some point to the west. Whether the moon is in the east or the west depends on your own understanding.

    The ten-year-old Tang Monk worshiped Buddha every day and was very pious and hard-working. The great monks in the temple took great care of this floating child from the river and taught him everything he could.

    Naturally, there are no babies floating in the canals of the palace, but you can often see leaves and even petals with poems written on them floating around. This is a game for the palace ladies. They will write poems on the leaves and petals, and pass them through  Drifting way outside the palace.  In this way to express oneself and express emotions, the content of poetry is also varied.

    The Tang Dynasty was a dynasty of poetry. Poems could be written whether they were describing scenes, chronicling events, expressing emotions, or clarifying aspirations. Yunyao's sisters and sisters-in-law often got together to play this drifting bottle-like game.  Although there will be no reply, it does not prevent them from imagining that their poems will be picked up by talented and handsome men, which makes them dream about it and make them sleep in admiration.

    Yunyao participated in two poetry gatherings. It was really a lot of fun for Yingying and Yanyan. It was quite enjoyable, but her face hurt a little. They all liked to pinch Yunyao's baby fat little cheeks and pinch Yunyao's face.  thicker.  Yunyao said that since she is so thick-skinned, every woman who pinches her little face is responsible.
