Physician of the Song Dynasty: Zhang Kai and Li Qingzhao have a private life-long contract

It may be difficult to create a font, but simplified characters are reduced on the original basis, not to mention Fan Zheng, the basis of simplified characters in later generations, is even easier to come by.

At that moment, Fan Zheng and Yang Jie began to work hard, and the first thing they changed was the name of the medicinal materials.

Fan Zheng said solemnly: "If we want to simplify characters, we can't make them up randomly. The characters must also have the structure and beauty they should have. The simplified characters also take into account the radicals and structure, and follow the most basic rules of Chinese characters. What needs to be done It is to simplify it as much as possible. For example, the strokes of the Chinese character [yào], which is most commonly used by doctors, are extremely complicated, so we can call it traditional Chinese characters.”

Yang Jie frowned and said: "But the word medicine has its own meaning. The radical is grass, which means the medicine is the essence of the herb. Le (lè) is the sum of the five tones, which makes people happy. The meaning of the word medicine is that people will not be sick when they are sick. Be happy, you will feel better after taking the herbal medicine, then you will be happy.”

Yang Jie was born in a Confucian medical family. He was not only proficient in medicine, but also studied literature.

Fan Zheng shook his head and said: "We are doctors, and our biggest responsibility is to treat illnesses and save people, not just to mingle words. Simplifying the font can allow doctors to spend more time on practicing medicine instead of heavy medical records. For example, we and others The word medicine can be simplified to - medicine!"

At this moment, Fan Zheng picked up the pen and wrote a simplified medicine on the paper!

"medicine!"

Yang Jie's eyes narrowed. Compared with the normal writing of medicine in the Song Dynasty, the simplified medicine character only retains a cursive prefix, and the lower part of the word "yue" and "yao" have some similar sounds.

"Although this simplified character has half as many strokes as normal medicine, it has lost the original meaning of medicine. It is still unclear whether it will work." Yang Jie said hesitantly.

"As a doctor, would you rather write traditional Chinese characters or simplified Chinese characters?" Fan Zheng said loudly.

Yang Jie gave a wry smile. When writing medical records, traditional Chinese characters simply gave doctors a headache. If they all wrote simplified Chinese characters, I am afraid that the number of doctors who object to these medical records would be greatly reduced.

"Another example is orchid. We can abbreviate it as orchid. We can take a small part of the word "fly" and simplify it into the word "fly". …………."

As Fan Zheng simplified the traditional Chinese characters one by one, Yang Jie's eyes widened. Fan Zheng simplified too much. He actually simplified a character with more than ten strokes in just a few strokes.

"Is this feasible?" Yang Jie said hesitantly.

Fan Zheng waved his hand and said: "What's wrong? We are doctors and we don't need to take the exam. As long as our medical skills can cure diseases and save people, there is no difference between writing traditional Chinese characters and writing simplified Chinese characters."

"It seems right!" Yang Jie was vaguely convinced.

At other times, Yang Jie might have minded these simplified fonts, but today's doctors need to write a lot of medical records. If they write cumbersome simplified fonts again, I am afraid it will only cause the doctors to fall apart.

Moreover, Yang Jie also knows that writing medical records itself has great benefits and is a good solution to the current dilemma of doctors. In the future of doctors and the meaning of adhering to the font, as a doctor, he naturally knows how to choose.

"And this is not the most simplified. The most commonly used medicinal materials for doctors like us to prescribe are medicinal materials. We only need to use specific symbols so that doctors can understand them."

At that moment, Fan Zheng waved his hand and wrote a prescription on a medical prescription in flying colors, just like a ghost drawing a talisman.

However, what makes Yang Jie unbelievable is that he seems to be able to understand Fan Zheng's medical prescription.

"That's okay!" Yang Jie was dumbfounded.

He did not expect that Fan Zheng would be so crazy. He not only simplified the traditional Chinese characters, but also further simplified the simplified characters and directly used ghost characters to write medical prescriptions.

Fan Zheng spread his hands and said: "Why not? Medical records are written in simplified characters to avoid disputes and need to be accessible to the world. In hospitals, doctors and prescriptions are in the same room. They only need to be understood by doctors and pharmacies. It is an internal communication between doctors and me, so there is no need for any taboos, just do it as simple and convenient as possible."

Yang Jie nodded helplessly, Fan Zheng always made evil mistakes and left him speechless.

"I'm afraid that as soon as the simplified Chinese characters and Yi Fang Ti come out, the world will be in an uproar, and doctors will criticize them." Yang Jie shook his head and sighed.

Fan Zheng fearlessly said: "A doctor's greatest duty is to treat illnesses and save people, not these secular prejudices. Once we become a forensic doctor, we will break less of the secular world. As long as it is the right thing, doctors don't need to worry about the secular world!"

Yang Jie nodded solemnly.

Fan Zhengjian had already convinced Yang Jie and said with satisfaction: "Without further delay, you will be responsible for the medical prescription, and I will be responsible for simplifying the characters. The sooner the simplified characters are created, the sooner the turmoil among the doctors can be settled."

Yang Jie sighed helplessly, picked up the medical prescription and began to practice 'Ghost Drawing Talisman'. Of course, this is not a real ghost drawing talisman. Every medical prescription must not only be quick, but also accurately prescribe the medicinal materials, and even every symbol must be included. special meaning.

And Fan Zheng is not idle either. The number of Chinese characters is extremely huge, about nearly one hundred thousand, although there are only a few Chinese characters in daily life. However, this is still a huge project.

That night!

Li Qingzhao, who has become increasingly mellow, washed up early and prepared to wait for Fan Zheng to rest.

Now that her body has grown up, and the days are approaching when she is suitable for pregnancy, she has a feeling that she will be pregnant soon this time.

However, Li Qingzhao waited for Fan Zheng expectantly, but he still didn't see Fan Zheng.

Li Qingzhao had no choice but to put on his clothes and immediately got up and went to the study room, only to find that Fan Zheng was still writing furiously.

"Husband, this is an explosion of inspiration, and the inspiration for an eternal masterpiece?" Li Qingzhao asked in surprise.

In the past, she stayed up late writing poems and scripts, but now it was the other way around, and her husband actually started working hard under the lamp too.

Fan Zheng stood up and saw Li Qingzhao coming in. He shook his head and said, "The things you do for your husband are more important than the famous stories of the ages!"

Li Qingzhao was immediately surprised and hurriedly stepped forward and said, "I want to see what can be more important than the eternal masterpiece."

He was a master of poetry and highly respected the art of poetry, so naturally he was extremely unconvinced by what Fan Zheng said.

However, when Li Qingzhao saw Fan Zheng's masterpiece, he was stunned.

"What are you doing?"

Li Qingzhao was greatly puzzled. He saw Fan Zheng writing a normal character, and next to it he wrote an extremely strange and familiar character.

"How can you be so careless about the word love?"

Li Qingzhao pointed at the word love that Fan Zheng had just written and frowned.

Fan Zheng behaves like a child who has just started learning. He cannot write complicated words and deliberately misses some parts.

"This is a simplified Chinese character! The word love is careless, but it can save doctors all over the world half of their efforts. This is the true love." Fan Zheng said solemnly.

"Simplified Chinese!"

When Li Qingzhao learned about Fan Zheng's plan, he couldn't help but exclaimed.

You must know that calligraphy has been inherited since ancient times. Countless scholars have practiced it since childhood, and it can be said that it is engraved in their bones.

But now they are planning to change the Chinese characters of scholars all over the world and simplify them. It is conceivable that when this news comes out, people all over the world will be shocked.

"My husband is just asking the doctor to write medical records in simplified Chinese!" Fan Zhengdao said.

Li Qingzhao looked at Fan Zheng suspiciously. As the person who knew Fan Zheng best, she didn't believe what Fan Zheng said at all.
