The two met very late, the key is that Zhang Hanqing understands the self-esteem of literati, and there is no lack of respect for literati and elevating the status of literature in casual conversations, of course, he himself has a few brushes, after all, there is nearly a hundred years of literary development history as a reference.

The two talked about entering Hong Kong, and Qian Xuantong couldn't help but put his theory of abolishing Chinese characters on the desk again. Time has passed, and I don't know if this young marshal will stick to his ideas.

Zhang Hanqing couldn't cry or laugh, he really didn't eat or not, wasn't it enough to be scolded once before?

You can't blame him entirely when you think about it. As conscientious cultural people in this era, most of them are enthusiastic about the answers that may solve the root causes of China's poverty and weakness. The Chinese first learned the West and engaged in the "foreign affairs movement"; Then, after the excavation of Japan in a corner, China began to learn from the Orient, including Lu Xun, Cai Yi, Jiang Baili, Chiang Kai-shek, etc., a large number of historical celebrities are pioneers.

Since foreigners were so powerful, public opinion at that time devalued Chinese things to nothing, and Chinese characters were indispensable among them. The national foundation of the Chinese language has been inextricably contested: the promotion of Cantonese-based Mandarin with one more tone instead of the Beijing-based dialect we often speak, the National Assembly of the Republic of China, which has a majority of Cantonese nationals in history, has almost made it a reality, so that our children and grandchildren can learn to speak "Lei Hao, hen" as the standard sound. It was Mr. Sun, the father of the nation, who mediated in order to balance the feelings of the northerners, and chose the Beijing dialect by one vote, from this point of view, Sun Yat-sen is worthy of the name of the father of the nation, at least not to let the minority language become the public.

Regarding Chinese characters, many people think that they are out of step with the times. A group of Chinese character reformers led by Qian Xuantong believed that Chinese characters were difficult to recognize, remember, and write, which was not conducive to popularizing education, developing Chinese literature, and disseminating scientific and technological knowledge.

After Mr. Zhang Taiyan creatively proposed Zhuyin (this thing was still used in Taiwan before the crossing), now his disciple Qian Xuantong has proposed Pinyin, which is enough for Chinese to learn Chinese.

Seeing that Zhang Hanqing was even clear about these subtle details, Qian Xuantong expressed his great admiration. There is a way that is like a mountain, and Zhang Hanqing can use a "martial artist", Jier to dabble in literature, and can have such achievements in the inconspicuous Chinese, which is by no means explained by the title of young marshal alone.

Although the literati were accustomed to being inferior to each other, they also admired those who truly studied learning, and those who were equally knowledgeable. However, literati are characteristic, and no matter how much Qian Xuantong admires Zhang Hanqing, he is still very optimistic about the prospect of pinyin of his Chinese characters. Until then, he and his teachers had been advocating for the abolition of Chinese characters.

This is a bit overkill, but it is very marketable, and Zhang Hanqing feels that it is necessary to give them a clear opinion. He won't argue with Qian Xuantong---- no matter how reasonable he is, he can't argue with a great Confucian like someone who has been immersed in words for many years. After thinking about it for a while, he didn't say much, but just picked up a pen and wrote a line on the paper: "This thing is too loud and far-reaching, and I will go to the house to sit down and talk about it tomorrow after dinner."

Qian Xuantong only glanced at it, he thought that Zhang Hanqing was busy with official business, but he got up and said goodbye: "So I won't disturb the young marshal, we will meet again tomorrow." "This young marshal, he is from the heart.

I didn't want Zhang Hanqing to laugh and pull his arm and say, "It's a good talk, why do you want to leave?" ”

Qian Xuantong was confused, didn't you want to send off guests? He pointed to Zhang Hanqing's note suspiciously, but at this time, he saw Zhang Hanqing also pointing to the note and said, "Professor Qian has seen it clearly?" ”

Qian Xuantong looked at it again, and there was nothing wrong. After a closer look, I realized that Zhang Hanqing had written the order of the two words in reverse: "too much influence" became "too loud shadow", "breakfast" became "breakfast early", but it did not affect his judgment.

At this time, Zhang Hanqing smiled, and he said: "Professor Qian, you see, I wrote a sentence, you only need to glance at it to know the general idea, and even two mistakes do not affect your judgment, do you think you can achieve this effect with pinyin?" ”

A sentence that woke up the person in the dream, it turned out that the young marshal used this method to refute his own views. But, well refuted! An example is worth a thousand words and eloquence, and he was amazed by Zhang Hanqing's wit!

Then Zhang Hanqing said: "Chinese characters are the root of the Chinese, and a Chinese can read almost all the books as long as he knows about 2,000 Chinese characters, which no language can do." This is particularly important for the current popularization of literacy education in China.

Pinyin, which separates the associative attributes of Chinese characters, can only be used as a table and cannot be used as a native auxiliary Chinese character learning, otherwise the result will be reduced to a stupid language like English. You see that there are so many words in the English language, and they are constantly generating new words, trying to give a name to everything in the world. The universe is infinite, and the English vocabulary is infinite! It is simply impossible to bypass the analogy like the Chinese language. If we use pinyin instead of Chinese characters, it will be quite a burden for the vast majority of illiterate people in our country to get rid of illiteracy! ”

Qian Xuantong recognized this, and he realized that his academic views were not enough to compare with the young marshal's grand political vision. This is called real Chinese language research, and it has been thoroughly studied.

In this thatched shed, Zhang Hanqing talked with Qian Xuan barefoot, not caring about his young marshal at all. Sure enough, "the mountain is not high, and there are immortals; The water is not deep, but if there is a dragon, it will be spiritual". Although it is a burrow, because of Zhang Hanqing's vision and Wei and Jin demeanor, Qian Xuantong's admiration for Zhang Hanqing is like a continuous river...

As an influential cultural person during this period, Qian Xuantong's appreciation for Zhang Hanqing was brought into the campus of Peking University. The young marshal can care so much about Chinese culture with a martial artist, how can this make the proud sons of heaven in the ivory tower embarrassed? Students can only devote themselves to the tide of carrying forward Chinese culture with more enthusiasm, of course, it is inevitable to go to Fengtian and the Northeast to preach and teach and solve doubts when needed, which is a later story.

When we talk about the New Culture Movement in history, we can't help but mention this public case. Zhang Hanqing's "I Love This Land" is considered to be the originator of new poetry, and his "My Home is in the Northeast" is also regarded as a precedent for modern rap.

Scholars who study the history of modern literature later wanted him to be the banner of the New Culture Movement, but Zhang Hanqing modestly said that he did not dare to do so, and later instructed that the role of literary scholars should be highlighted. But how can historians with a sense of historical responsibility easily abandon their principles? The young marshal became the pioneer of the vernacular literary movement, which will forever be recorded in the annals of history.
