Is it really wrong to write the word "Germany" on the plaque of Deyun Society, which has been making a lot of noise recently?

Deyun Society is becoming more and more famous, with plaques everywhere. A woman in front of Nanjing Deyun Society questioned that the word "Germany" was wrongly written on the plaque, which caused an uproar.

Is the word "de" on the plaque really misspelled? The word "de" in the copybook is generally horizontal. At that time, I felt very confused and didn't delve into it. The textual research is as follows: (1) The writing of the word "de" lacks one or more horizontal lines, which is not simple, but reflects the evolution of the word in the history of Chinese writing. Except Oracle Bone Inscriptions, it is hard to find. The earliest writing method of the word "De" can be found in the bronze ware "Mai Yi" in the Zhou Dynasty. "Double-sided" has the word "four" written on only one side, with no "ten" on it, no "one" on the bottom and no "heart". However, in the Zhou Dynasty's Shi San Pan, its writing is similar to that of later generations, but there is no horizontal word "de". From the pre-Qin Dynasty to the Han, Wei, Six Dynasties and then to the Sui and Early Tang Dynasties, the writing styles of Da Zhuan, Xiao Zhuan, bamboo slips, silk scripts and Han Li and Weibei's "De" remained unchanged. When Tang Gaozu Tang Gaozu was not an emperor, he once wrote an article "Pray for Men's Illness and Relief", in which the word "virtue" in "Family Planning and Family Property" was not horizontal. The rubbings of inscriptions have been recorded in the history of calligraphy in China.

Why is the "virtue" of Deyun Society wrong? Who is so stupid that he can't even write a Chinese character? If it was unintentional, didn't Lao Guo find it?

Why not change it?

There is a big article hidden inside, and the plaque of Deyun Society was written by Master Hou. When he wrote these three words, he put the second half of the word German on it. Hou is also a knowledgeable and literate person. How could he make such a mistake? So everyone put forward their own guesses.

One of them: Hou was used to writing typos since he was a child. Naturally, he thinks he is right. Another kind: Degang Guo found the typo, but it could not be corrected because of the traditional etiquette in China. At that time, Deyun Society had just been established and was not well known. It has to rely on celebrities like Mr. Hou to survive. Moreover, it is not wrong for a teacher to be a teacher for one day and a father for life.

There's another one: I made a mistake on purpose, and the typo is easier for people to remember. He once wrote couplets with typos "Zhang" and "Fu". When it comes to it, people will think of Ji Xiaolan. Old people may also want to tell themselves in this way.

But in fact, someone once asked the staff of Deyun Society about the word "De", and the staff replied, "These three words were written by Mr. Hou. If you are wrong, you are wrong. If you don't change it, you can't. " Compared with regular script, this German script has one more horizontal line above and one less horizontal line below. According to the standard font, it is indeed a typo. Therefore, there will be a dispute about "virtue", but it will not affect people's cognition, and it will also make people remember Hou and Deyun Society, which is beneficial and harmless.
