Chapter 221 Dictionaries and Typography

The military camp is not all of Yang Qiao, but a small part of his life, and the training in this mainly depends on themselves, Yang Qiao is just a leader.

"Little friend!"

No, Kong Yingda, I'm here again.

"Master Confucius, what are you, and what's in this box you are carrying?"

"Ha, this is the first dictionary I've revised in a while, yes, it's a dictionary, that's what you said, right?"

"Dictionary, done?"

In fact, Yang Qiao has been looking forward to the birth of this dictionary, and the eldest sister has long since stopped appearing in front of Kong Yingda, why, the pinyin, and the approval of some words have almost been completed, but Yang Qiao can't urge Kong Yingda.

"After the enactment, the longer it takes to formulate, the more I know that this is a thing that can be done for a lifetime, and now, I have just formulated a simple dictionary that you said, that is, to make people able to read, some allusions or something, very little, and this word, there are not many, only more than 3,000 words, that is, the commonly used words you say."

Obviously, Kong Yingda is not modest, but very serious, but Yang Qiao thought about what he said to Kong Yingda, it seems that it is true, if it is according to the big dictionary, he really needs to spend his life studying.

However, if you want to say a simple dictionary, it seems that it shouldn't be, and it hasn't been developed so quickly.

"I, I know that Xiaoyou has some suspicions, in fact, it is slightly stronger than your thousand-character text, but, thousand-character text, I have not given up, but I have given it as an enlightenment dictionary, this word, only Zhuyin, Zhuyin learning, words, and nothing else, and this simple dictionary, more than 3,000 words, but there are more strokes of some commonly used words, and the others, are also phonetic, words, simple combinations, that's it."

Kong Yingda said a little cautiously, you know, this is his hard work, I am afraid that Yang Qiao will not approve.

"Well, I'll take a look first!"

"This thousand-word essay is the first version that has been approved?"

Yang Qiao was a little puzzled, this thousand-character text was the version that the eldest sister took back the fastest to show herself, that is, on the basis of what she had formulated at the beginning, she made some changes in the pronunciation of the characters, and then, it was completed.

"Then, this is easy to say, I have a plate there, and I can print it directly and publish the book."

"There's a plate, you actually know printing here?"

Suddenly, this Kong Yingda screamed.

"What, what's so strange about that?"

Yang Qiao was a little puzzled, for this, how could you be so strange, it seems that there are printed books in my collection!

Yang Qiao didn't even think about what kind of books were printed in his collection, that is, the yellow calendar as the saying goes, it turned out to be the most, and the other books seemed to be the ancestors of the past dynasties, as well as himself, that is, the books copied by himself before he came.

"This, I've only heard of it, but I haven't seen it, how it was printed, naturally, the almanac is printed, but it's only a few words."

Well, well, perhaps, I misunderstood it again, what I remember in my mind is that this engraving printing, during the Sui and Tang dynasties, was more popular, as if, this memory, something is wrong, or, the person who said this kind of thing, said it is not right.

So, now, I will really let it prevail, and even, the idea of movable type printing, can be delayed, now, only engraving printing on the line, you know, I just trained a group of engraving talents, naturally, can not be so wasted.

"Master Confucius, you see, originally, I thought you would revise it, so this version is available, but it is only used for workers to practice, and there is no mass printing, but you can rest assured, this edition, this ink, and this paper, that are all qualified products, and they are all self-made.

"Boy, this is a great thing for the benefit of the country and the people, why don't you give it away for free?"

The chatter opened his mouth again, according to Yang Qiao's previous urine nature, this kind of thing, why don't you hurry up and get free, so as to earn a reputation.

"Stick, stupid, this is knowledge, can it be free, don't have a high price, it's already good, and, you see if I give it away for free, how many people want to learn."

Yang Qiao was arguing with the talker, and he didn't delay the work in his hands, he quickly went to take out the dictionary he had printed.

"Confucius, you see, this dictionary, the use of single-sided printing, folding line, a paragraph per 100 words, there is a special pinyin study in front, and this orthography, using a brush to write an inch of small characters, and some notes, pinyin, is written with a quills pen half an inch of words, are written in block letters, engraving, in this way, will make every word, very clear, can make people very accurate to the word, to recognize."

There is also pinyin, Yang Qiao did not introduce, pinyin, Yang Qiao naturally used the way of letters to write, and there was no pretension to use another pinyin method in the previous life, just like the pinyin of the devil's words.

And the number, which was also the Arabic numeral that was most commonly used in previous lives.

"Well, okay, I don't know how you promote it?"

Seeing this dictionary, and there is this Kong Yingda's hard work in it, he was so happy that his eyes narrowed.

"This, because it is to be promoted by the public, so, I am going to see a study in the West Market, that is, to sell dictionaries, and sell some of my own printed classics, Buddhism, Taoism or something, and some folk miscellaneous things, and then, and then sell some ordinary four treasures of the study, perhaps, plus a dictionary, teach pinyin for free, what do you think?"

"Well, good, this method is good, especially the learning of this free teaching pinyin, obviously, this pinyin into the school, it will be very difficult, but, you teach for free, it is different, and the saint of the province is embarrassed in the court."

This Kong Yingda is not a complete nerd, he also knows that Li Er's embarrassment is that it will be very difficult to promote this new knowledge, but this kind of thing, that is a great thing, and even, it is not worse than the merits of his ancestors, which is why the eldest sister got a positive sixth grade so easily, and it was Li Er who was under pressure and resisted.

"That's it, you can look at another dictionary."

Kong Yingda was a little anxious, to say, this thousand-word dictionary can be regarded as an enlightenment in an enlightenment, then, the other, even if those people oppose it, they will secretly buy it back and enlighten the people at home, more than 3,000 words, it can be said that this dictionary, if it is released, will follow the master for a lifetime.

"Master Confucius, what is this?"

"That,I've divided it into several parts.,The first part,Naturally, it's the learning of pinyin.,The second part.,It's your thousand-character text.,You see,This is divided.,That is,This order hasn't changed.,And the third part.,It's the main text.,Naturally,It's still included in the thousand-character text.,However,It's out of order.,According to the order you said.,Revised again.,That's it.,And the last part.,It's called the appendix.,This is a part of the rare words.,It's revised from the text.,And, It's not pinyin.,It's directly the kind of annotation of the text.,That is,Use homophones.,Or two words,To mark the pronunciation of the word.,In this way,It's more than 3,000 words.,If you add the words of this appendix.,It seems,It's also more than 3,000.,It's just a few hundred words.,If you think it's appropriate.,I'll be on this basis.,Cancel this paragraph of the thousand-word text.,Then,Put each word,Interpretation,Phonetics,And form words.,There will be some allusions to explain.,You see.,But,This,It takes me a lifetime to do.。 ”

"Cheng, Master Confucius, you have a good idea, but you don't need to revise it all at once, you can revise every hundred words, just give it to me, I will print it, when all the revisions are completed, this dictionary, ah, can't be called a dictionary, what should it be called, slowly think about the name in the future, when people buy it completely, it will become an heirloom."

Yang Qiao happily tempted Kong Yingda, not to mention, he really thought so, he wanted to dedicate his life to this, if these things that he gave could become heirlooms, then, he, he couldn't think about it, perhaps, just for this reason, he should float a big white and have a good drink.
