Chapter 468: Who is Bi? N?

"Please forgive the solitary consultant, and dare to ask who is this Mr. Bi Sheng? Could it be that the Confucianist who became famous only in the future?" Listening to the tone, Shen Long's respect for Bi Sheng is still above Kou Zhun, Ouyang Xiu, Fan Zhongyan, etc. But the name has never been heard by himself, Wang Anshi can only guess.
The reason for speculation is the Great Confucianism, because Shen Long said the word Bufu, and he can make a name for the history of the commoner. In Wang Anshi's imagination, there may be only a great Confucian who refused to enter the official circle.
"Not so, this Mr. Bi Sheng was born in the Song Dynasty Kaibao for three years and died in Huangyou for three years." Shen Long looked at the text on the glasses and said that Kaibao was Zhao Kuangyin's year number, and Huangyou was Song Renzong The year number used after the Chinese calendar is only seventeen or eight years away.
"This?" Wang Anshi and his son looked at each other. The characters who could be so admired by Shen Long hadn't even heard of them. The two of them are broad-minded. How could this happen?
"Mr. Bi Sheng is not a great Confucian scholar. There are many great Confucian scholars in the Northern Song Dynasty, such as Kansai Zhang Zai, Brother Cheng Yicheng Hao, Mr. Lianxi Zhou Dunyi, etc. Oh, I almost forgot that Jiefu can also be regarded as a contemporary great Confucian. His learning was not widely spread in later generations. It was the learning of the brothers of the Cheng family and their re-discipline Zhu Xi that unified China for hundreds of years. In the future, Zhu Xi also became the only non-Confucian personal disciple to enjoy the temple of Confucius and rank in the Great Hall Among the twelve philosophers. "
"Unfortunately, I don't like his knowledge, it's too tacky, but I like Zhang Zai's knowledge a little bit; Confucianism came to the end of Zhu Xi's place, although Wang Yangming, Gu Yanwu, Wang Fuzhi, Huang Zongxi and others tried to reform Confucianism in the future, It's a pity that it still can't shake Cheng Zhu's status. "
"Cheng Hao is too rigid to be flexible. Such a learning ..." Wang Anshi could not help but shook his head.
"Match the Confucian Temple, and rank among the twelve philosophers in the Dacheng Hall? Isn't it the four philosophies and the ten philosophers?" Wang Jiao asked. In the Song Dynasty, the fourteen people who enjoyed the incense in the Confucius Temple were the four philosophers: Fu Sheng Gong-Yan Yuan and Sheng Sheng Gong -Zi Si, Zong Sheng Gong-Zeng Sheng, Ya Sheng Gong-Meng Ke; Ten Philosophies: Min Lose, Ran Yong, Duan Muci, Zhong You, Bu Shang, Ran Geng, Zai Yu, Ran Qiu, Yan Yan and Zhu Sun .
The rest of the outstanding Confucians can only stay in the east and west, which is the house on the east and west sides of the Dacheng Hall, including Confucian disciples other than the four philosophers and the great Confucians, such as Zhang Zai, Cheng Yicheng Hao and Zhou Dunyi just mentioned by Shen Long As for Wang Anshi, do n’t look at the Confucianism that he will rely on to interpret the imperial examinations in the future. In the future, he wo n’t even be able to enter.
"In the future, Emperor Manyi will add Zhuxi, which you and I just said." This was all during the Qianlong period. Zhou Mingzhang pointed to the book collection of the Jingjing Department. "If you are interested, I can put Zhu Xi I'll show you the book, but it's estimated that you can't look down on it, it really doesn't mean much. "
Wang Anshi's knowledge of Cheng Hao is not very passable, so it goes without saying that his disciples are no longer necessary.
Wang Anshi thought that Shen Long said that the barbaric emperor and the barbaric man who replaced the Song Dynasty were all the way, and did not continue to ask. As for Zhu Xi, he can also get his book back to look at, so he continued to ask about Bi Sheng. , "Dare to ask Shen Daochang, what kind of person is this Bi Sheng? Why has he never heard of it in the next time?"
"Bi Sheng is neither a Confucianist nor an official, nor a literati, and you haven't heard of nature. It's nothing strange." Shen Long said with a lip, "This Mr. Bi Sheng is a character like Cai Hou."
Caihou? Cai Lun of the Eastern Han Dynasty? Could it be that Bi Sheng is a big mink in the palace? I would n’t know if it was a famous big mink stall? And how can eunuchs make a name for themselves?
"Jie Fu wanted to be skewed, Bi Sheng was not a eunuch, Cai Hou improved the papermaking technique, so that the world's students had cheaper writing materials, and Bi Sheng invented movable type printing, which improved the efficiency of printing books and reduced printing. The cost of books allows more people to buy books. This merit is far superior to those of Kou Zhun, Su Shi, etc., even Jiefu is not as good. "Seeing Wang Anshi and his sons seems to haven't figured out the truth yet, Shen Longren Can't help shaking his head.
Hey, you scholars, do n’t always pay attention to technology. Forget it. I ’ll tell you something.
Well, you may not understand it just by saying that. Wait a minute. I ’ll show you something interesting. ! "
Shen Long slipped under the mirror, and a board of unknown material fell from the air, blocking the water wall outside. The study slowly turned black; suddenly a light flashed from above the head and fell on the board, immediately A rectangular picture appeared on the board, on top of which was a Song man holding a wooden tray.
Look at his dress, it should be an ordinary craftsman. There are many words placed on the wooden plate. The Song man is taking out a block with the words and carefully checking it. Next to it are Bi Sheng and movable type printing.
There are too many stimuli today. Wang Anshi and his son are a little numb. They just looked at the picture seriously. I saw that the picture suddenly became active, and Bi Sheng ’s introduction appeared, telling his simple life experience, Bi Sheng. It was just a craftsman in a printing shop. The only thing he did was to invent movable type printing.
Then the picture changed again, the image of Bi Sheng in the painting gradually became clear, and it looked like a real person. Then he moved and began to demonstrate how he invented movable type printing, from carving blocks to typesetting, to ink printing. The process is very clear, and Wang Anshi and his son also understood it, but they have not been able to understand the meaning.
"Dare to ask Jiefu, how much would it cost to print a book in Song Dynasty?" Shen Long asked.
Wang Anshi also prints books frequently ~ EbookFREE.me ~ is no stranger to this. He thought about it and replied, "I printed six books a few days ago.
"Well, where is your price? Is it stereotyped?" Shen Long continued after seeing Wang Anshi nod. "The stereotype must be made of fine-grained wood, but also a master craftsman. The price will naturally be more expensive; After the printing of the movable type, the cost of engraving is eliminated, and the price of printing the same book may be reduced by at least half. "
"It's not easy for the underprivileged students to study. If the book price can be reduced by half, this is indeed a blessing." Wang Anshi nodded, but he still felt that this was not enough to qualify for the history of youth.
"Well, let me show you something again!" Otherwise, they might not even think about it. I saw that the picture on the wall flashed, and the style of the painting changed again, and a huge steel room appeared. .
I saw that a thick stack of white paper entered the steel cabinet, and when it was spit out from there, it was filled with text, and then the text entered the next iron cabinet. When it came out, it was cut down properly. When it came out of a cabinet, it became a book.
Almost instantly, hundreds of books were printed, and Wang Anshi and his son fell into shock again.
