I am the Empress Dowager!

Chapter 182 - The future No. 1 warrior
It's hard for Liu Long to imagine, and it's also hard to understand, as a normal person, how did this old gentleman think of writing a dictionary in decades!

Although there is no dictionary meaning now, Liu Long has no doubt that this is a dictionary!
Liu Long, who could only read books because he was bored since he was a child, knew very well what was written in them.

To say that the content of these bamboo slips is very simple is to say that it is really simple. It means to disassemble and compare each character, and then tell people how to write down the character.

There is no pinyin, but he just split these messy characters into radicals and made a systematic division.

Then, comparing the ancient Chinese and the Zhenwen, which is commonly known as the seal script, we made a systematic division of the more than [-] characters that are currently owned by the Han Dynasty, or the mainstream.

At the same time, tracing back to the origin of character creation, using shape as warp and meaning as latitude, I took the font apart and crushed it to tell people.

This is what Liu Long once thought about, why aristocratic families can grasp knowledge, because ordinary people cannot understand it even if they are given books.

They can't even read the words!
This is a huge project, even if it is explained, they can't explain it, all they can do is memorize it by rote.

That’s how it’s pronounced, that’s how it’s written, that’s what it means.
But those things just now can make Liu Long change his mind. As long as he memorizes the contents and follows the text, he can teach the people.

This is the foundation, the simplest and most important foundation!

And this is not just a basic explanatory font, but also an even more important thing, which is the joint meaning of classics.

Just after a rough reading, Liu Long discovered that it started from the characters, and there were many classics and things that extended out.

Liu Long saw no less than ten of the extended classics alone.

"Poetry", "Book", "Li" and "Yi" needless to say.

And the Confucian classic "Spring and Autumn" is even more important!
In addition to Confucianism, there are also "Lao Zi" of the Han Dynasty, "Mo Zi", "Han Fei Zi" of the Legalists, etc.
In addition, he seemed to have seen parts of "Guoyu", "Book of Yizhou", "Chu Ci" and "History". He even saw the ghosts and gods in "The Classic of Mountains and Seas"?

It seems that there are also "Sima Fa", "Taiyi Jing" and so on.

Looking at these extensions inside, Liu Long was really shocked. It was hard for him to imagine how much effort a person would have to put in to be able to have such a broad knowledge on his own.

And bring these things together and combine them together.
This project is so vast and complex that it cannot even be calculated in years.
In this, the old gentleman extended from the words to the works, and then from the works to the principles of the world.

The breadth of its coverage is staggering.

It involves the Tao between heaven and earth, and the mystery of ghosts and gods.

Dabbled in the dangers of mountains and rivers, the planning of vegetation, the complexity of birds and beasts, and the insidiousness of snakes and insects.

What he said is comparable to the classic works of the Za family, and what he said is strange is more exciting than all the ghost writings Liu Long has seen.

There is even the inheritance of the royal system, the etiquette of the Han Dynasty and even the pre-Zhou Dynasty, and so on.

Moreover, it also contains the genuine version of "Chunqiu Zuoshi Zhuan" that the Confucius family hid in the wall and was taken out by their great Han royal family after digging into the wall.

This should be the only family tradition spread in the world.

And this old gentleman was stunned to let this family biography really spread throughout the world, not just passed on to the aristocratic family in the world.

Liu Long can imagine that if this work is really completed, it will really start to spread in the world.

It may not be possible to make everyone in the world literate and sensible.

But even for ordinary people, if they are willing to pay, and try their best, there is still a possibility.

Even if this possibility is so small, so pitiful, and so dangerous.It can even be said that letting a medium-sized family do its best may not be able to make their children take a step forward in the end, and it may even be in vain, and the efforts of several generations will come to naught.

However, this is a hope after all, no matter how slim a hope is, it is still a hope.

One in ten thousand, one in one hundred thousand, even one in a million, as long as there is this hope, then the world can still be saved!

That's the greatness of this book.

It is also the reason why Liu Long saluted the old man in front of him, the reason why he gave a big salute.

What he left behind was not only a work or a classic, but also the hope of the world.

"Old gentleman." Liu Long respectfully put all the bamboo slips back to their original positions, and then saluted again to the old gentleman in front of him.

"Your Majesty can't do that."

"Mr.'s move can be said to be beneficial to the country and the people. I should treat it like this. Now I don't know if I can tell me the name of the old gentleman!"

"The old man's ancestral home is Zhaoling County, Runan County. In the 18th year of Emperor Xiaoming's Yongping, he was enlisted by the county as a meritorious officer in the county, and was later promoted by the county guard as Xiaolian for some reason!

Since then, the imperial court has attached great importance to it, so it was requisitioned into the imperial court in the eighth year of Emperor Xiaozhuang's founding, and served as Taiwei Nange's sacrificial wine.

Then he met his mentor Jia Gong, and he studied with him from then on.

At the beginning, the first emperor once called his mentor to revise the old texts, and the old man followed his mentor to do this at the beginning, but the mentor has been doing this for many years but has not completed it.

So before he died, he told Lao Chan about this matter, and since then, Lao Chan has been working on it.

It is only now that the draft has been completed. It coincides with the Empress Dowager’s conquest of celebrities all over the world. I feel deeply that if I continue to work behind closed doors, I am afraid that I will not be able to complete the next thing.

He also couldn't fulfill his teacher's last wish, so he came to the capital to pay a visit to the queen mother.

Now I can meet His Majesty and present this gift to His Majesty. I am so lucky! "

After introducing his own life first, the old man continued to bow to Liu Xie, and then slowly spoke his name.

"The old man's surname is Xu, his name is Shen, and his surname is Shuzhong!
I don’t dare to hear your majesty’s ears with my humble name, so please forgive me! "

Looking at such a humble old man, even though Liu Long had never heard the name of the old man here, he returned the gift very politely, and bowed his head very politely towards the other party.

And took the initiative to invite him to sit down and discussed with himself.

This is the first time for Liu Long to feel the hope of the future.

Since then, Liu Long no longer feels that the future is bleak, and he may really see hope for future changes.

Just persist!

"Mr. Shu Zhong!" After some conversation, Liu Long also called Xu Shen again, "I wonder if such a work is famous?"

"Forgive me, Your Majesty. I didn't think much about it at the beginning, but I just felt that since it is based on words, I wanted to call it
"Shuowen Jiezi"
