Chapter 22 All must speak Mandarin
This has to be made out of a pot!
After eating the fish, Han Cheng, who was holding a ball of snow dumplings pinched porcelain, sighed again.
Not to mention boiling fish soup to drink, just boil some hot water to drink, unlike now, every bite down, is from the mouth all the way to the stomach, the little heat that has finally accumulated, all taken away is not left, it is simply cold! The heart is not flying at all.
This has to be ......
In this primitive era, living in this tribe that made a living from fishing and hunting, Han Cheng wanted to make too many things!
However, the bitter cold outside and the unmelted snow and ice sealed many of his thoughts, and he could only hold back in the cave and do what he could.
With plenty of food, the tribe has become relaxed again, and Han Cheng now has one more thing to do, that is, to teach the people in the tribe to speak Mandarin while everyone is at leisure.
This was a decision that Han Cheng had made inspired by the "glove" before.
The language in the tribe has no system, it is extremely simple, only some everyday words, slightly more complex meanings, and you have to talk for a long time with analogies, which is not sure that the other party really understands what you mean.
In the past, Han Cheng's thinking has always been limited.
Because he subconsciously thinks that he is an outsider, and as an outsider, he needs to follow the local customs, and naturally he needs to learn the words of their tribe by himself.
It wasn't until the appearance of the "glove" that day that he had an epiphany.
Oh, yes!
I have a very rich knowledge of the language and the accompanying scripts, why not teach these languages and scripts to everyone, and instead retreat to learning the almost primitive, tribal language?
Especially after seeing Wu Xin lying on the stone slab and slowly recording things, in order to record the new practice of gloves and socks, as well as their functions and names, he meditated hard to create new words, and dragged off dozens of hairs that were not dense, which strengthened Han Cheng's idea of teaching people in the tribe to speak Mandarin and write Chinese characters.
The first thing he taught to Wu was the two Chinese characters "gloves".
Han Cheng took the stone pen in Wu's hand, and in Wu's surprised expression, on a blank stone slab, he wrote the word 'glove' stroke by stroke, then pointed to these two words, and then raised the glove in his left hand, and said, "Glove." ”
As a wise man in the tribe, Wu was indeed very smart, and he immediately understood what Han Cheng meant, knowing that these two boxy things were referring to gloves.
Although this pattern is extremely strange, very different from the words he usually writes, and there is no 'glove' on their body at all, but because this is a new thing like gloves, Wu does not find it so difficult to accept.
"Gloves."
He followed Han Cheng's voice and repeated a word in Mandarin.
Han Cheng handed the stone pen to Wu and motioned for Wu to write these two words.
Wu had never been exposed to this kind of strange writing before, but because he often wrote, it was still relatively decent.
Although at the beginning, the wrist was stiff compared to the gourd scoop, and the spacing between the strokes and the length of the horizontal and vertical strokes were incongruous, but I could indeed recognize that these two words were 'gloves'.
"Okay."
Han Cheng praised in the words of the tribe and gave Wu a thumbs up.
Wu looked at the two words written by Han Cheng, square and square, and then looked at the two words he wrote, crooked.
After hearing Han Cheng's praise, he couldn't help but smile and shook his head, then bent down again, learning from Han Cheng's example, writing carefully and seriously one stroke at a time.
People with cultural skills are different when they write, they have practiced about six or seven times, and the 'gloves' written by Wu are already decent, and they have been able to write silently without reading what Han Cheng wrote.
This made Han Cheng very pleasantly surprised.
From the process of receiving new knowledge very quickly, Han Cheng made up his mind that it was indeed a feasible thing to give the Chinese language and Chinese characters to the people of the tribe and spread them.
"Hands."
Seeing that Wu had already mastered the word 'glove', Han Cheng pointed to the word "hand" alone and read it, and then pointed to his own hand and told Wu that the word represented by this word was hand.
Wu was surprised by this, because in the language of the tribe, there is a pronunciation of 'hand', which is completely different from this.
He seemed hesitant, not knowing whether to learn the new word and pronunciation.
Because it conflicts with what the tribe already has.
Han Cheng probably understood some of Wu's thoughts, so he naturally pulled out the banner of the Heavenly God.
He pointed to the top, and then to the totem pole not far away, and said, "Celestial, say." ”
Wu was a little moved, he didn't expect that this was actually the language and writing of the gods!
After Han Cheng draped the brilliance of the gods on Chinese characters and Mandarin, Wu immediately couldn't resist it.
After all, this is the language of God and the word of God!
I have never received instructions from the gods in my life, and now that the gods have sent my son down to teach me the language and writing of the gods, how can I not study it well?
So Wu's enthusiasm for learning Chinese characters was mobilized.
On the first day, students not only learned to write 'gloves' and 'socks', but also learned to use Mandarin Chinese characters to read and write the most direct words such as 'feet', 'legs' and 'heads'.
Education should start with children.
Han Cheng, who has been educated since he was a baby and has been educated for more than ten years, will naturally not forget this sentence.
Not only did he not forget, but he put it into action.
In the name of the ethereal and ethereal god, after telling Wu that God said that he would hand over God's language and writing to the world, so that the world could speak God's words and use God's words, Wu, who had initially experienced the magic and simplicity of God's words and language, agreed with Han Cheng's words after a short period of thought.
Wu is a knowledgeable person, although he has only studied for three or four days, and he knows only a few dozen words of God, but he has already experienced the benefits of God's words and language.
In the past, there were things that he wanted to express but did not have the language, but now he can say them in the word of God.
In the past, many of the words he inherited and created did not have a corresponding pronunciation, and belonged to the kind that could only be understood but not spoken.
Such a thing is difficult to teach others, and sometimes only the creator knows what it means.
Now, with God's word and language, there is no need to worry about this, because God's word and language are standardized.
