Chapter 193: The Importance of Names
All of the above were realized after Park Jung-hyuk was reborn in South Korea, did PD, and began to get in touch with the cultural industry. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Changed to his identity as a small city manager in his previous life, he didn't have the ability or time to think about such a profound question.
In many countries around the world, culture and ideas are regarded as a sacred and undesecrated thing. So what they do the most is to work hard to maintain and persist.
But I don't know that in many cases, this kind of persistence and maintenance will slowly become a stumbling block to the development of the times.
The most obvious example of the contrast is the Three Gorges Water Conservancy Project in China and the Colosseum in Rome, Italy.
When the Sankyo was first built, many people were saddened by the fact that it would lead to the destruction of many cultural monuments in the area.
However, the Chinese government persisted, and the construction of the Three Gorges Water Conservancy Project played an important role.
Doesn't the Chinese government know that these monuments are so valuable?
Obviously, they are well aware.
However, compared with the development of the whole country and the needs of the people, the scales of these monuments will be tilted.
The Italians, on the other hand, attach great importance to the Colosseum as a spiritual totem.
As a result, in order to avoid possible damage to the Colosseum, the Roman subway could not be built.
It seems that only the subway cannot be built, but no one notices how much damage it will cause because of the inadequacy of public transportation.
Even the traditional characters that have been inherited for thousands of years have been changed to simplified characters after they were found to be in line with the trend of the times, so how can the Chinese have an end on the road of pragmatism?
If it weren't for this kind of thinking, how could China have made unprecedented progress in economic development and national growth in just 30 years?
It is precisely because of this understanding that Park Jung-hyuk understands that what seems to be the most important etiquette actually needs to be taught to Kim Tae-hee alone.
To make Kim Tae-hee enthusiastic about learning Chinese, you need to start with the simple aspects.
"So what are we going to learn first?" Kim Tae-hee asked sure enough.
Park Jung-hyuk smiled slightly and opened a notebook in front of the two.
"First of all, let's find out, who are you? Who are you in Chinese culture? In this way, if you understand your own positioning, you can better bring yourself into Chinese culture. ”
"What do you mean?"
Kim Tae-hee was a little dazed, completely lacking the intelligence of the lady of Seoul.
She found that what Park Jung-hyuk said felt very similar to Socrates' philosophy.
Obviously just learning Chinese, do you want to make it so mysterious?
Park Jung-hyuk was not annoyed or annoyed, and ordered: "In this way, Nuna, you take out your ID card." ”
It wasn't until Kim Tae-hee put her ID card on the table that Park Jung-hyuk explained.
"I mean, the first thing we have to do is to put you into the Chinese culture. Let the Chinese know who you are, what kind of person you are, and what kind of identity you have. In this way, your image in the eyes of the Chinese will be plump. ”
"What does that have to do with my ID?" Kim Tae-hee asked inexplicably as he turned his ballpoint pen.
Park Jung-hyuk was prepared.
"If you want the Chinese to know about you, you have to introduce yourself first, right?" Then let me ask you, what is your Chinese name? ”
This is not difficult for Kim Tae-hee, in fact, she has already learned about this.
I saw her pointing to her ID card and complaining: "Didn't you see it, my ID card has it." ”
Park Jung-hyuk picked up the pen and wrote the words "Kim Tae-hee" on the paper, and then asked, "Is this right?" ”
Although Kim Tae-hee does not know Chinese, his name is on the ID card, and I don't know how many times he has practiced, so of course he will not be mistaken.
"yes, that's it."
Just waiting for her here, Park Jung-hyuk said slightly and said something that surprised Kim Tae-hee.
"But Nuna, you know, your name is not good in Chinese."
"Why not?" Kim Tae-hee asked suspiciously.
Then she muttered.
"Isn't the name a code name for identity, as long as it's not a swear word or a derogatory term, it doesn't matter, right?"
Park Jung-hyuk shook his head and solemnly explained to Kim Tae-hee.
"In fact, in Chinese culture, a person's name and title have a very important position. Chinese have always believed in the saying that people with bad names will not have a good life. ”
Now Kim Tae-hee was surprised.
"Why? Whether a person can succeed or not depends on God's blessings and his own efforts. ”
Park Jung-hyuk smacked his lips, although he also thought it was incredible, but he still insisted on his opinion.
"It's a concept that's been passed down for thousands of years. In fact, there is a similar situation in our Korea, for example, when you hear names such as Bong-sook, Jeong-sook, Sam-soon, Hyuk-jae, etc., what kind of person do you think the other person is? ”
"This ......"
Kim Tae-hee hesitated for a moment before he said cautiously: "It's just an ordinary person." ”
Her upbringing did not allow her to say anything demeaning, but she meant it.
Park Jung-hyuk guided: "Na Nuna, imagine what it would be like if the president of our country was called Park Bong-sook? ”
"Puff ......"
This time Kim Tae-hee couldn't help it and laughed directly. In the end, he felt embarrassed and slapped Park Jung-hyuk in disgust.
This guy will be weird, how can there be a president with such a rustic name?
Seeing that Kim Tae-hee understood what he meant, Park Jung-hyuk spread his hands.
"It's the same in China, if a person's name is Li Erzhu, he may be a cattle herder, or a porter, or a fisherman. Only a handful of those with this name may be able to reach the level of a private president. But Nuna, think about it, if the president of China is called Li Erzhu, what will it be like? ”
Kim Tae-hee finally couldn't help it, hugged his stomach, and couldn't even bother to wipe his tears.
"How can anyone like you make fun of other people's names."
Park Jung-hyuk said: "Nuna, I'm not making fun of me, I'm telling a true truth." The name is often our first impression of a person, and if a person has a beautiful name, then it is likely to form a good initial impression in the minds of others. And many times, this factor is in the process of accumulation, becoming a person's success boost. Looking at the history of China, almost all those who have left traces in the vast history have a resounding name. For example, Cao Cao, such as Su Dongpo, such as Luo Guanzhong, etc. ”
After a slight pause, Park Jung-hyuk asked, "Nuna, can you imagine the situation when we talk about "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and then its author is called Wang Ergou?" ”
Well, maybe Park Jung-hyuk said it was too interesting.
Kim Tae-hee couldn't sit still this time, his body tilted, and he lay on Park Jung-hyuk's shoulder.
Xiang shrugged his shoulders, obviously not smiling enough.
Park Jung-hyuk stayed quietly, waited until Kim Tae-hee had laughed enough, and thoughtfully helped her wipe away her tears.
Feeling that he had lost his temper, Kim Tae-hee was disgusted.
"You, you, just teach well, clean up some useless."
Park Jung-hyuk is wronged.
"How can this be useless? The reason why I emphasize the importance of names is to tell Nuna how to say them when you want to introduce your name to Chinese people in order to be more beneficial to yourself. ”
Afraid that Kim Tae-hee would not believe it, he began to give examples again.
"Yun'er from Girls' Generation, do you know that slave?"
Of course I know that, Kim Tae-hee nodded.
"Well, the little girl is very beautiful, and her popularity is not low."
Park Jung-hyuk took Yoona as an example and patiently explained.
"Lin Yun'er's Chinese name, if it is written according to her ID card, it should be Lin Run'e. Lin is a surname, which is common in China and South Korea, and there is no way to change it. Among them, the spring rain comes into a dream, and the recovery of all things is for the run. E, on the other hand, refers to a beautiful aristocratic woman. So according to the literal understanding, Lin Run'e means a noble woman surnamed Lin who is very beautiful like spring rain. ”
Kim Tae-hee blinked, "Isn't that good, and it fits her image very well." ”
Park Jung-hyuk pouted, very disdainful.
"But the name Lin Run'e, in Chinese, has great drawbacks. First of all, in terms of strokes, the structure of Lin characters is simple and clear. The characters "Run" and "E" have complex strokes, layered on top of each other, like a mess. In this way, when the three words are combined, it becomes top-heavy and unbalanced. ”
Kim Tae-hee imitated the handwriting of the three words "Lim Yun-e" and found that it did not look very pleasing to the eye as Park Jung-hyuk said.
Park Jung-hyuk pointed out the second problem.
"What's more, Lin Run'e's reading method will look very rustic in China, and there is a feeling of a village girl. But you also know that Miss Lin Yun'er is a very fresh and beautiful girl, and she doesn't have that rural feeling at all. ”
Kim Tae-hee didn't quite understand this, but he still nodded and admitted that Park Jung-hyuk was right.
Lin Yun'er's appearance, no matter how you look at it, doesn't match rural women.
Park Jung-hyuk's explanations are endless.
"When Girls' Generation's fame first came to China, it formed a group of fans. However, they don't know the correct way to translate Korean names, and they can't see ID cards. So according to the pronunciation of Korean, her name was translated as Lin Yuna. ”
As he spoke, Park Jung-hyuk wrote these three words on the paper again.
"Huh?"
At this moment, Kim Tae-hee was completely stunned.
Even if she doesn't know Chinese, she can see that the difference between "Lin Run'e" and "Lin Yun'er" is simply sky-high.
Taking in her surprise, Park Jung-hyuk smirked.
"How's that, Nuna, see? But do you know the name behind this, what is the saying? ”
He didn't explain it all at once, but left Kim Tae-hee room to think.
He believes that a smart woman like Kim Tae-hee will definitely find out something.
And this kind of content that you take the initiative to discover is more conducive to people's learning.
I have to say that perhaps due to the influence of Dean Song in his previous life, Park Jung-hyuk has the talent of being a teacher in his bones. (To be continued.) )
