The Sage of Confucianism and Taoism

"I have to write an important article. You can play with Nunu." Fang Yun stood across the doorway.

"Abandon this dragon? Unkind and unjust! Are you just writing it for your descendants? Anyway, this dragon will see it sooner or later! By the way, write "Journey to the West" too. This dragon wants to see what the ape-man named Wukong can do in the end. You can't be a half-saint!" Ao Huang muttered a few words without disturbing Fang Yun.

Fang Yun returned to the house and took out three thick stacks of paper from Yin Jiangbei, each stack containing a thousand pages.

Fang Yun walked to the bookcase and looked through some articles he had written before, mainly "Fox on Rhyme", the others were not important.

"In Shengyuan Continent, articles can't be written just by writing. There is not enough talent and writing skills to support an heroic article. If I write that kind of famous article that contains special power, I am afraid it will cause the stars in the literary palace to fall. The literary courage is shaken and the literary palace is broken, and the gain outweighs the loss. But tools and enlightenment books like "Fox on Rhymes" are not a problem."

"I already have a certain understanding of Shengyuan Continent. The foundation of literature is characters. The meanings and shapes of human words basically do not need to be supplemented, but there are huge flaws in the pronunciation of the characters. The dictionaries of Shengyuan Continent still follow the ancient method and have been using straight words. Yin, not even the anti-cut method.”

"Zhiyin means using the same pronunciation for another character. For example, the phonetic pronunciation of the word '玎' is 'Yin'. But if both are rare characters, then there is something wrong with the Zhiyin method."

"The ancient Chinese people had the method of fanqie. Taking the word 'split' as an example, you can use '龙xieqie', which takes the initial consonant of dragon and the final rhyme of Xie. But fanqie also has shortcomings, and even some simple words require the use of complex fanqie."

"It was not until the Beiyang government in later generations that the phonetic symbols were promulgated. The phonetic symbols were taken from a part of the Chinese characters or simplified. The phonetic symbols were easier to learn than Zhiyin and Fanqie, and were a great progress in phonology. It can be said that the phonetic symbols and Chinese pinyin, etc. The more advanced phonetic notation method will make a huge contribution to improving the literacy rate. Once the phonetic notation symbols are used in Shengyuan Continent, it will reduce the literacy burden of Meng children and help them learn to read and write better. "

Fang Yun wrote "fanqie" and "phonetic symbols" on the paper, preparing to create a phonetic dictionary for the first time in Shengyuan Continent after the dictionary of word meanings and the dictionary of glyphs, imitating "Sheng Lei" and other books.

After that, Fang Yun wrote "Zengguang Xianwen", "Young Xue Qionglin" and "Twenty-Four Filial Piety Illustrations". These three books were famous for elementary school readings in later generations, and their status in ancient times was no less than that of the "Three Character Classic".

After that, Fang Yun wrote the word "medical book" but crossed it out. He had not gone through systematic study and practice, so it was inappropriate to write a medical book.

Fang Yun also wrote the four words "Confucian classics" and crossed them all out. The works of later great Confucians are full of the sound of the holy way. Maybe after writing a few dozen pages, his talent will be exhausted and become a human being.

"The art of war can be written. Integrate famous battle cases from later generations into novels, and then use the words of the people in the books to explain the art of war and create a 'historical novel'. It is better to use the history of the Tang Dynasty as the context and only write about the main historical events and main characters. It is enough to write it quickly and write some excellent but not too good poems..."

"It's better... just try to integrate the craftsmanship skills, medicine, chess, calligraphy, painting, art of war, poetry, famous sayings, etc. of later generations into one book as much as possible, and even suggest some Confucian concepts of later generations. However, a " "Datang" is difficult After finishing the writing, we still need to write down the Song Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty, including Li Shimin, Wu Zetian, Li Longji, Zhao Kuangyin, Zhu Yuanzhang and many other emperors in the three dynasties, as well as those famous historical ministers and celebrities. If it can be written into a book, I know what will happen.”

The more Fang Yun thought about it, the more excited he became, but in the end he found that the whole process was too complicated and impossible to complete by himself before the Moon Tree Divine Punishment. If he wanted to write it better, it would be difficult even for the Tang Dynasty to finish it.

"Well, the span of dynasties is too big, so why not use an emperor as a book to write about the events and people that happened in an era. Then, this book will be called..."

Fang Yun thought for a while, then picked up a pen and wrote three words on a piece of white paper.

The Emperor's Book.

The three words suddenly emitted a faint golden light, and then the words burned, and the entire paper burned to ashes. However, the flames did not affect the paper below, and the burned ashes disappeared without a trace, leaving no trace of paper ash.

Fang Yun reached out and wiped the sweat from his forehead, vaguely understanding the reason.

"Although I was nominally writing a novel called "Book of Emperors", in fact I wrote everything from the Tang Dynasty to the Ming and Qing Dynasties in the book. It was almost a miniature "Yongle Dadian" plus "Sikuquanshu". For the Holy Yuan Continent, it is equivalent to constructing a brand new world from scratch. In terms of value alone, it is no less than some of the Holy Classics, or even more.

If the paper cannot bear the title, then the whole book cannot be written.

While Fang Yun was thinking, the inkstone on the side poked his head out, his mouth wide open, and his two green bean-sized eyes widened, looking at Fang Yun in horror.

It is an inkstone turtle, better than humans at feeling the power from words and ink.

Just now, Yangui felt the power of the holy throne from the words!

That power is very light and fleeting, but after all it is the power of the holy throne!

Inkstone's eyes moved rapidly, and then he fell into deep thought.

Fang Yun thought for a while, solemnly took out a light golden holy page, then carefully rubbed the ink on the back of the inkstone, and took out the best Hanlin pen to write.

The inkstone's eyes began to move around again, and the turtle shell on its back suddenly leaked out traces of dark golden liquid, which silently blended into the ink. Fang Yun was lowering his head to think, and did not notice it.

The Inkstone Turtle smirked secretly.

After grinding the ink, Fang Yun dipped the brush in ink and wrote three words on the holy page again.

The Book of the Emperor.

This time, the three words burned again, forming a golden flame, but the holy page was extremely powerful and did not move at all, only the precious light on the surface flowed.

Not long after, the golden flame disappeared, and traces of flames appeared around "The Book of the Emperor".

The Golden Page with Black Letters.

Fang Yun breathed a sigh of relief.

The Inkstone Turtle smirked again, and pounced on the holy page with "The Book of the Emperor" at lightning speed, and was about to swallow the whole page.

However, at the moment when the Inkstone Turtle opened his mouth, the word "Book" in the three words suddenly twisted, then became blurred, and finally turned into a new word.

Classics.

The Classics of the Emperor.

The Inkstone Turtle laughed wildly and continued to bite the "The Classics of the Emperor", but when its mouth was half an inch away from the Classics of the Emperor, the holy page did not change at all, but the Inkstone Turtle was hit by a giant dragon, and its whole body flew backwards.

The inkstone turtle smashed through a layer of wall with a bang and landed in the next room.

Fang Yun turned his head and saw a big hole in the south wall, with countless cracks spreading in all directions.

Then, Fang Yun looked at the three big characters "Emperor's Canon", and two contradictory expressions of surprise and helplessness appeared on his face.

The surprise was because "Emperor's Book" turned into "Emperor's Canon", which meant that if the whole book was completed, it could at least become a semi-saint canon.

Unfortunately, Fang Yun faced the punishment of the Moon Tree God, and it was almost impossible for him to complete the whole book.
