Why didn't ancient Chinese have punctuation marks?

Although there are no punctuation marks in ancient books and articles, there are "jv fights". Teachers in private schools will use red pen to break sentences when teaching students. After the students' level is improved, they can read through the article without reading sentence by sentence. Generally, people with a little culture have gradually adapted to this kind of reading. Even so, it did not affect the development of ancient culture, but was not conducive to popularization. For example, the article uses function words in classical Chinese to break sentences at the end of each sentence; Parallel prose relies on antithesis to break sentences; The rhyme of poetry depends on the rhyme and music at that time.

Before reading different versions of Tao Te Ching and other classic works, there were different sentence-breaking problems. At first, I didn't understand why this happened. Now I finally understand that ancient prose is the end, without punctuation. Note that it's not nothing, but nothing. "No" and "without it" are two different things. Why not? Because once the article is circled, the literary spirit is broken, just like the gas of the triple energizer is smooth, and it stops when it is broken. The article is alive, with eyes and breath. When the breath is broken, the meaning of the article becomes stiff and the article dies. You will never get tired of reading the Analects of Confucius all your life. Read it once a year and have an understanding every year. Every time I watch it, I have an experience every time. I read a sentence, and the whole meaning changes greatly, so I can't die.

The basic principle of sentence reading is "language is absolutely a sentence, and language is reading." The place where the tone ends is "sentence", marked with a circle, and the unfinished sentence is called "reading" and marked with a dot. The ancients often used the word "Excellence" to praise the achievements of a historical figure.

Reading wrong sentences often leads to jokes and ambiguity. For example, in the Confucius movement, the phrase "people can make it, but they don't know it" in The Analects of Confucius is often used to say that Confucius helped autocratic emperors and pursued the policy of ignorance. I also took Laozi to accompany me, because there is a saying in Laozi that "there is an empty heart, but there is a belly"; Weak knowledge, strong bones and muscles. "

Confucius was a great educator, and it was he who pushed education from the palace of nobility to the people, which led to social education in later generations, which was a great contribution of Confucius. Confucius didn't teach any class, he wanted to teach everyone. If he wants to be a "fool", who will he teach? It doesn't make sense.

But why is there such a misunderstanding? This sentence is wrong. Confucius means: the people can make it go with the flow; Don't do it, you know. Ordinary people understand the truth and let them go. Politicians should not go looking for trouble. If ordinary people don't understand reason, they should be educated, which is the responsibility of politicians. In the same way, children are obedient and parents should not be picky; If the child is disobedient, parents should educate him well.
