Late at night, Wang Ting fell into silence.

Anuti held a rough brush and sprinkled it on the sheepskin. Small letters jumped on the sheepskin, and twenty-six letters were written.

Here are some initials, finals, etc.

I selected a hundred commonly used Chinese characters and marked them successfully with letters.

It took less than an hour to finish.

"Huh~"

After blowing the ink traces dry, Anuti took them up, then slowly rolled them together and put them in his arms.

It was windy today.

Anuti lifted the curtain, breathed a sigh of relief, quickly called a four-wheeled carriage, took it in, and drove to the distance.

Zhang Qian did not rest during this period of time.

He was also collecting the information he collected. The Great Yuezhi had made a decision. His mission here was basically over. He wanted to return to the Han Dynasty to report the situation to the emperor.

Ganfu sat down, helping him sort out some miscellaneous items.

"General Lang, it's time to close the mountain in the Pamir Mountains soon. We need to leave as soon as possible, otherwise we will have to wait for another half a year."

The Pamir Mountains do not span all year round. It is cold in winter and often has avalanches and other disasters, which are not suitable for walking.

Considering the way they came, they prepared to walk on the southern foot of the Tianshan Mountains, leave from the Pamirs, and cross the Qiang people's territory to return to the Han Dynasty to avoid the power of the Huns.

Zhang Qian stopped the brush in his hand and said, "Yeah, we need to prepare in advance and say goodbye to the Queen of the Great Yuezhi in a few days."

Ganfu stood up and said, "Lang Jiang, I'll give it to you."

Zhang Qian also leaned forward a little, took the sheepskin from Ganfu's hand, and said, "It's a pity that Anxue in the west has not been there yet. If you come again next time, you will definitely check it out."

This is a regrettable thing.

"Dangdangdangdangdangdang."

The two looked up, who is coming?

Zhang Qian signaled Gan Fu to see him, Gan Fu got up, opened the door, and a cold wind blew in, rustling.

Ganfu said in surprise: "Prince Anuti."

"Ganfu."

Anuti bowed.

Zhang Qian also stood up and said with a little curiosity: "Prince Anuti, please come in quickly."

Anuti took off her thick hat, chopped her feet, and complained: "The wind and sand are getting heavier and heavier."

To the west of the royal court, around the Guishui River, there are deserts and Gobi. Once the season comes, the strong winds are mixed with sand, and they are sweeping here.

Anuti spat and spit out some sand.

He patted the dust of his clothes, took off his long boots, and sat cross-legged on the blanket.

After scanning Anuti, he saw a roll of sheepskin, many of which had been tied, while others were filling in.

The Han Festival was placed in the most conspicuous place, and the color was restored again and it was completely renewed.

Anuti didn't say much nonsense, took out the written fur from her arms and stepped forward to hand it over to Zhang Qian.

Zhang Qian didn't know what Anuti had made, so he took it curiously.

"A tribe and country cannot have their own writings. My Great Yuezhi only has language, but no writings that can be written down. This has always troubled me. This is my imitation of your country's words and borrowed some Xia texts from the Greek letters. Please ask the Han envoy to see if you can give some advice."

Zhang Qian was interested and had a bright look in his eyes.

Ganfu helped Zhang Qian clean up the things on the table, and Zhang Qian slowly opened the sheepskin.

Square fonts came into view, and there was a line of strange letters on it, which was very strange.

Zhang Qian frowned and said, "Some of these characters lack strokes and beauty."

Many of the Chinese characters above are simplified Chinese, which of course is different from what Zhang Qian knows.

Anuti explained: "The people of the Great Yuezhi are vulgar and do not know words. They do not have the time and energy to learn complex fonts, so I took the initiative to save some strokes and reduce the trouble of learning."

Zhang Qian is not stubborn, and it makes sense to think about it this way.

"The handwriting is well written. If it is included in my Han Dynasty, it is considered a person who is proficient in brush and ink."

Zhang Qian opened the entire parchment scroll and praised Anuti's handwriting for good.

That was natural. After all, he had practiced it in his previous life. Although he was not as good as everyone else, he could write his handwriting in a regular manner. He also practiced it with Pang Zhonghua's copybook. As long as he wrote the horizontal and vertical writing, and then arranged the free distance of each person's font, it would be successful if he looked comfortable.

"What's this?"

Zhang Qian pointed to the symbol in the middle of the Chinese characters and asked, "He has never seen this before."

"This is the punctuation mark I created, namely comma, period, and question mark..." Anuti stepped forward and pointed to the symbols on the sheepskin introduction, and naturally took the credit to himself.

"When I learn your Chinese characters on weekdays, I often don't know where to break the sentences. Sometimes I misunderstand the meaning of the sentences, so I am very distressed. This time I created Xiawen, which is naturally simple. It can be done as conveniently, so that everyone can learn the words better."

"The Book of Rites·Study" records: "One year of view is separated from the classics and distinguishing the mind", that is, students must evaluate their ability to "distinguish the classics and distinguishing the mind" after entering school for one year. The so-called "disconnecting the classics" refers to the sentences of the scriptures, which is to break the sentences; the so-called "distinguishing the mind" refers to the content of the sentences of the text.

There was no punctuation mark in ancient times, which did not mean that there were no pronunciation sentences.

The ancients called the skill of breaking sentences when reading articles "sentence reading (dòu). When a private school teacher teaches students, he cuts sentences with red pens. After the students' level improves, they can read the article without reading sentences.

The basic principle of sentence reading is "The word is the sentence, and the word is the reading."

That is, the end of the tone is "sentence", which is marked with a circle; the sentence without ending is called "read", which is marked with a dot.

Zhang Qian's brows were frowning, and Anuti didn't know what he meant.

Suddenly, Zhang Qian slapped his forehead, looked at Anuti with a bright look, and said happily: "Your method is feasible. I have never thought of this before. It's just a sentence reading or something. It's easy, but if you think about it carefully, these are the ones that take the most time to study when you were a child."

"Every company uses different standards for the annotation and sentence pronunciation. If there is really a set of rules to promote it, it will be very beneficial to the learning of ordinary people, which is not bad."

Zhang Qian looked excited and his face turned red.

I just saw simplified Chinese characters, but his attitude was just disagreeing or not. After all, how can the text left by our ancestors be easily changed? After the changes, it lacks beauty.

However, this newly created punctuation mark is different, and it can be regarded as a major reform.

Since the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, each school has different standards, so those who are unfamiliar with it often misunderstand the meaning and read the dictionary incorrectly.

There are also punctuation points in ancient texts, which are generally two. Sentences are read, and are often expressed by dots or circles.

But everyone has different habits. One person thinks that the point is termination, the circle is pause, and the other thinks that the triangle is pause and the circle is termination.

Each has its own standards, and later generations will make mistakes when they read it.

ps: Thank you to the big boss "sebtao" for the reward of 1500 starting point coins. I originally wanted to write 2000 words, but I immediately felt energetic when I saw the reward.

This book recommends a one-round tour, but there are no recommendations in the future.

I lost my passion all of a sudden.
