Chapter 107: Genes

It is not easy to answer this question directly, because the question is not right, the question is not level, and it is the wrong answer to say which one.

It's like a lot of questions that will be discussed in the future, where the argument can go on for a long time, and the answers are all the same, but the problem is still not solved.

The root cause is often that the question itself is wrong, and the person who asks the question either does not understand it or has ulterior motives.

Of course, Li Yiming felt that his father just didn't understand.

He thought about it seriously: "It's not just that this is the assessment, it also depends on the simplicity and convenience, and there must be a balance." Their letters are one-dimensional, just a line, and they are more abstract. Our square characters are two-dimensional, derived from paintings, more vivid, each with its own advantages and disadvantages......"

Li Yiming gestured to his father: "In fact, the best language should be the shape and sound of words, you must know how to read it when you read it, you will not make mistakes, and the meaning is clear."

Therefore, polyphony is the worst, which increases the difficulty of our learning, and it is not a glorious thing to know a little more different sounds, which can only be said to be unscientific. ”

"This... Isn't it scientific?" Li Jianguo was a little puzzled.

"That's right!" Li Yiming nodded, "Ambiguity, polysemy and alien shape are the traces formed in the evolution of written language, a bit like the genes in our bodies, to keep pace with the times, the same is true of cultural genes, many of them have weakened or even disappeared in the face of the times."

Strictly speaking, any complexity is the reason that prevents the popularization of writing, and you look at that Kongji, and I am proud to know that there are four ways to write fennel, what is the point? The more ways it is written, the worse it is for literacy. But it can't be said that it's completely useless... It depends. ”

"Culture also has genes, aren't genes in people's bodies?" Li Jianguo was very curious, his son could still talk about genes, culture also has genes?

Li Yiming nodded: "Genes are hung on DNA, and it is the unit of genetic material in living organisms,...... But what I'm talking about is a kind of referential cognition. Dad, you see, all of our people, society and civilization have inheritance, people have DNA, society also has it, and civilization also has it.

The double helix of society is the productive forces and production relations, and culture and science and technology are the DNA of civilization, and they are matched with each other and spiraling upward. If something goes wrong, then there will be mutations in this tissue, some mutations tend to be good, some changes tend to be bad, it depends on the environment!"

Li Jianguo was quite moved when he heard this, it turned out that the world was connected in this way, he felt that he had seen through everything, digested the new knowledge for a minute, and asked hesitantly: "These useless genes... What are they useful for?"

Li Yiming scratched his chin lightly, thought about it for a while, and found enough information: "Let's take the text as an example, we have so many fonts, usually we can use one type, but in art, you can use something else, calligraphy is art, in terms of speaking, dialects can be used to talk about cross talk, homophony... Say jokes that are inconvenient to tell or something. ”

Li Jianguo seemed to understand: "What should the language of science be? Is this English science?"

"Not quite. Li Yiming flipped through the dictionary, "Let's just say this English, there will be several pronunciations of the same letter here, so many times you have to use different pronunciations to pronounce it, which is unscientific." Good language that can be read at a glance. Hmph, some people are still proud of their accent and discriminate against others, which is a bit ignorant......"

The more Li Jianguo listened to these concepts, the more interesting they became, and he couldn't help asking, "What about ours?"

Li Yiming shook his head: "There is also this situation, on the surface, looking at the shape and sound of the word, it should be able to read the words, if you read it wrong, it is the problem of the word." ”

"This... It can't be said that it is a matter of words..."Li Jianguo shook his head with a wry smile, "The dictionary is so determined." ”

"Then you forgot that the dictionary is constantly changing, words have such a big relationship with education, generations are learning the same thing, and time is also a cost. To increase the difficulty is to increase the cost of education, and is there a completely different way of reading a row of words that look similar? ”

Li Yiming snorted lightly, put the dictionary in his hand, picked up another music textbook, flipped through a few pages lightly, and suddenly frowned.

"What's wrong?" Li Jianguo thought that the book he bought was wrong, "only this one." ”

"I think it's a bit unreasonable. Li Yiming looked at his father and spread out the book to show him, "The numbers 1 to 7 represent seven sounds, but in fact, the pronunciation is much worse, just like I said before, I can't remember the pronunciation when I look at this." ”

"Wouldn't it be nice to be more familiar? And isn't there a sound of Doremi's chattering?"

Li Jianguo took the music book and flipped through it, he also felt that it was difficult, it seemed that it had to be taught by a professional teacher, and singing was taught directly in the school, and music theory was not talked about much.

"Increasing the cost of learning time is not good. And this sound is not the same as the sound produced by the instrument, which makes beginners very confused. ”

Li Yiming shook his head, but he didn't have a good way, it seems that many people can sing the song, but the score is difficult to recognize, maybe it's a talent problem.

Did I open the genetic lock?

Since the first two days, he has found that his hearing has increased very quickly, a bit like the absolute sound of something mentioned in the story, and even much more sensitive.

In fact, not only his hearing, but also his other sensory organs have become sensitive, just like when he scolded those young people in the afternoon angrily, he could quickly refute it, and his words were also fast and clear, and his mouth was very flexible.

These seem to be good things at the moment, but although he used to be good, he was just a child's agility, and there was a gap between him and his current level.

This may also be some kind of golden finger, Li Yiming doesn't know what this has to do with so many online articles in his head.

There is a story that people who often read these novels usually have poor eyesight, and their hearing is definitely not good, and their thinking is probably relatively dull......

It is even said that if you watch too much popcorn Xiaobaiwen without brain flow, it will form a serious short-circuit and emotional overload, and you may not be able to save it without Professor Yang's therapy.

But so many little Bai Wens stuffed in their own heads, and they are so strong, is it because they look directly in their heads? No.

Gene locks can also be an explanation!
