A surname was fatally discriminated against by the electoral party. The thin man did not say the reason, but as smart as Fang Bingsheng, he guessed it in the blink of an eye.
Because Chinese characters in Europe and the United States are all letters, and there are dozens of them over and over, but Chinese characters are hieroglyphs, and there are thousands! Moreover, there are many strokes and it is extremely difficult to learn.
Because of this, Hai Huang crazily simplified Chinese characters in order to reduce the difficulty of literacy. His simplified Chinese characters were even used in the Ming Dynasty, which greatly improved the literacy rate of the people, rapidly reduced the illiteracy rate, and improved the country's overall competitiveness. , reducing the sanctity of the Confucian priests, which is his great achievement that is recognized now and in later generations.
Overall, the simplification of 2,000 commonly used characters supports the carrier of the new cultural system, but other uncommon characters are not taken care of at all. They are still stuck there, rotten, looking forward to self-pity, and waiting for "Masters of Chinese Studies" to decorate them. The door is open.
This person's surname "Kui" is one of them. It is a word with a good meaning. It means: [Kui Kui] a respectful and fearful look; [Kui Li] standing solemnly; a dragon-shaped strange beast in ancient legends; If it doesn't have a good meaning, we won't use both surnames and place names.
This is nothing at all. Your surname is Kui, and you won¡¯t offend anyone.
But in today¡¯s electoral system, having such complicated words in it will put you in bad luck.
Because since the Song Dynasty court dared to issue lottery tickets and open casinos across the country, would the handwritten election ballots be decided on their heads? That is to take into account that illiterate people will automatically learn to read in order to vote, which can improve the literacy rate, so it is stipulated that the names of candidates on the ballots must be handwritten. Moreover, the two parties supervise each other's votes and check each other's votes. Even if you write the wrong words, your vote will be considered invalid if you write it in traditional Chinese characters. Therefore, the quality requirements for voters are actually quite high.
People with the surname Kui are definitely unlucky.
First of all, it is not included in the literacy requirements for primary schools, and it is probably not included in middle schools and universities. For ordinary people, if you are not illiterate, you will not be able to write;
Secondly, it is easy for those "vote frauds", who are illiterate people who have stolen their electoral qualifications, to be able to describe "Zhuang Feijiang" in a short period of time. The calligraphy and painting are simple. "Jiang" is a bit more complicated, but chess is very popular, but you want him to learn "Kui" in a short time? you try? If you throw money at him in vain, it will definitely be a waste of money!
at last. Even Dana. Both simplified and traditional Chinese. When you write 21 strokes of Kui, you might make a mistake in one stroke; and the votes are all made with inerasable brushes and pens, just in case you make a mistake in one stroke. You can't even change such a complicated structure!
Therefore, in that era, if the characters in your name were complicated, no matter how rich or powerful you were, if you wanted to run as a candidate, just go ahead and do it!
This Mr. Kui is full of passion and loyalty, and he is determined to be a fighter of the Liberal Party who eliminates freedom. However, "I originally had my heart towards Ming Yue, but Ming Yue spits on me and I have no votes." He has suffered all kinds of "difficulties" and "discrimination". "Love "The party has the heart, but there is no way to serve the party." In the end, he managed to sneak into the Liberal Party through the back door and paid more money, but there was absolutely no possibility of being a candidate, and he could only be a coolie who paid and worked to carry the sedan chair.
Seeing his friend in such pain, Fang Bingsheng suppressed laughter and turned red. Next to him, Li Jinren tried to hide his gloating by complaining about the injustice. He said: "The party has divided everyone's surnames into five grades based on strokes. Those with more strokes will pay more, and those with fewer strokes will pay more." It¡¯s so unfair that those who pay less and have too many strokes are not included in the fifth bracket. Everyone wants to solve the country¡¯s problems and eliminate freedom without hesitation, but just because the surname left by our ancestors has not been simplified It¡¯s not these brothers¡¯ fault that they paid more money, couldn¡¯t be candidates, and were rejected.¡±
At this time, Mr. Kui was so angry that his face turned red and shouted: "It's just a small payment for the strokes. Don't you know that some people are so shameless that in order to become a member of the parliament, they even have to simplify their father's name. For example, The man named Tian who opened the flour mill was originally named "Tian Yi". Sima Yi's "Yi" refers to the name of a good horse and a good horse; this beast actually changed his name to "Tian Yi Er" in order to enter the main candidate list! One, two, three 'One two' of four!"
Li Jinren, who was next to him, immediately praised him, shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands like a foreigner, and winked and shouted: "And it's really done. He has been officially designated as the first main force of the Foshan Liberal Party in the general election in recent years, 'Tian Yi Er', Ma Lu." Just dragging a beggar to vote cannot be a waste vote, and the party is prepared to throw all the fraudulent votes at him."
"You are a crazy, shameless beast who deceives his master and destroys his ancestors!" Mr. Kui gritted his teeth.
Fang Bingsheng was still laughing: This is so funny. You can change your name. It¡¯s a good idea. You want to be a member of Parliament to honor your ancestors, but you can¡¯t change your surname. Changing your surname is not a problem depending on the candidate¡¯s financial resources and connections. But if you change it from Mr. Kui to Mr. Wang, who do you want to honor your ancestors? So when Mr. Kui saw that other people were doing evil things and that his congenital defects were unnecessary, he couldn't squeeze in, so of course he was so jealous that his eyes turned red.
Mr. Kui let out a loud sigh of anger.Pointing his finger, he said: Let me ask you three questions.
First, what is the national policy of the Haisong Dynasty? Is it a country based on God? Is it the right path of Christian teachings, or is it the right path of your past sins that were tempted by Satan?
Second, does the emperor have three palaces and six courtyards?
Third, we are a new country, and those who control the government are all nobles who followed the Poseidon to conquer the world. Do they have concubines? Does the new industrial and commercial tycoon have a concubine? "
After a while, the two wealthy businessmen looked at each other and were speechless.
"Nowadays, many tycoons don't have concubines because they were poor when they were young" Li Jinren said reluctantly.
Fang Bingsheng immediately widened his eyes and looked like "the lost old hen is here". He also shrugged and spread his hands and added: "So, you are not asking for fairness, but you are showing off your wealth, showing off the wealth of the Qing Dynasty. Show off Satan's wealth. When you dare to take to the streets, not to mention the emperor, nobles and tycoons will smash you, ordinary people and reporters will stone you; this is called fighting the enemy (Satan)"
The restaurant became quiet, Li Jinren bit his lip, with a constipated expression on his face like a young man who had to endure being slapped in the face by an adult.
"Don't go. Whoever goes is finished." Fang Bingsheng finally made a firm conclusion. (To be continued)
