(Today's three watches, ask for a guaranteed monthly pass at the beginning of the month)

For more than ten minutes, the Wenzhao Pavilion was quiet, and even the needles could be heard, whether it was Zhu Mingzhong or Gu Yanwu, they were all immersed in the highest realm pursued by the world's corporals at this time.

The world is the same!

What an exciting term, this is where the way of heaven lies, and it is also where the destiny of heaven lies!

Who dares to question!

Looking at His Majesty with his back to him, Gu Yanwu seemed to have seen how the scholars who wished to be the children of the Holy Gate celebrated when the imperial court intended to promote the great world with the division of feuds, and how they would be ecstatic to jump on the ship of the vassal king and give advice to the vassal king's sect to educate the Quartet and realize the great harmony of the world, the lifelong wish of this saint and the world's corporans.

Gu Yanwu, who was immersed in this vision, seemed to see the day when the world was in harmony, of course, he was not completely lost in it, but added on the side.

"Your Majesty, divide the countries to promote great harmony, but if you want to be the same in the future, although I have already written the same text in China, I must still speak the same language, otherwise, how will the people of the world communicate in the future? Just like the Liangguang officials, if they don't know the dialect of the two Guangzhou, they will not be able to communicate with the people, today they are divided into countries in Yidi, Yidi Yiyu is more than 10 million, when Mengyuan entered the Kou, it is less than a hundred years, that is, it has made the Han Yayin in the north of the Yangtze River out of right, and the Qing Dynasty has only been in the Kou for more than ten years, both so that the Beijing Hanyin is not correct, and the countries are divided into the land, if there is no homophony, he will definitely be in the right sound of the day, if so, what to talk about turning the razor into the summer, but it is to change the summer to the razor, so, in the view of the minister, the countries must read the same sound, so that the future of the world is the same! ”

Gu Yanwu's suggestion made Zhu Mingzhong stunned, and he almost instinctively thought that the official dialect based on Hongwu Zhengyun must be spoken in Qinghe Academy and officialdom now. In fact, originally in the Ming Dynasty based on the Tang and Song Dynasty rhymes, with reference to the Central Plains Yayin formulated "Hongwu Zhengyun", in the Ming Dynasty was not as "unpopular" as the Manchu literati slandered, in fact, "Hongwu Zhengyun" in the Ming Dynasty repeatedly engraved, great influence, has long become the official language of the Ming Dynasty, that is, reading Mandarin, and it is the efforts of the Ming Dynasty for nearly three hundred years that made the kind of Mongolian Yuan "Is there a Goryeo guest Li She who sells Mao Shibu in this shop?" ”；“ Huang Xingwei Li, Da Shui Xing half yellow and half life, there is "like Hu but not Hu, like Han and not Han" Han'er language, it was in the middle of the Ming Dynasty that it was completely extinct, thus forming a colloquial language based on "Hongwu Zhengyun". After the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the customs, the Ming Dynasty remnants respected the "Zhengyin" of the Ming Dynasty represented by "Hongwu Zhengyun", but they were doubly resistant to the non-standard spoken dialects.

Because of this, even Zhu Mingzhong himself, in the past few years, has studied "Hongwu Zhengyun" very seriously, but even so, sometimes there are still some mistakes, but people seem to understand this, after all, when he "wandered" to the people, in order to avoid revealing his identity, he could only speak dialects.

Gu Yanwu's reminder made Zhu Mingzhong immediately think of the English of later generations, because Britain has a huge colony in the world, so there are many variations of English. The main languages are American and Canadian English, Australian and New Zealand English, Indo-Pakistani English, and African English.

"Speech is the foundation of the foundation. Without the correct pronunciation, it is impossible to talk about the standard elegance of the intonation, and the pronunciation cannot be affected by the pronunciation, which is indeed necessary. ”

Zhu Mingzhong naturally will not object to the fait accompli, but once again strengthen the status of "Hongwu Zhengyun" with a holy decree, but dialects will inevitably still exist, unless one day, the spread of radio and television will make dialects die out little by little.

"However, there are still some deficiencies in the pronunciation of "Hongwu Zhengyun", and in my opinion, it can be ......"

Thinking of the Chinese pinyin of later generations, Zhu Mingzhong opened his mouth and said.

"Can you learn from the Western alphabet, the development of rhyme pinyin, with this pinyin, you can spell out every word, in the future can also write a dictionary, the pronunciation of each Chinese character, in this way, or learning or reading are more convenient, but the pronunciation is more standard."

Drawing on the pinyin he learned when he was a child, Zhu Mingzhong even temporarily compiled a few similar Chinese character pronunciations, of course, the later set of Mandarin pinyin based on Beijing dialect mixed with Jianghuai official dialect is obviously not suitable for marking "Hongwu Zhengyun", however, Zhu Mingzhong is not in a hurry about this.

"This, Your Majesty means to mark the word Zhuxia in Western characters?"

Gu Yanwu, who was originally excited about "dividing the Zhuxia, educating the Quartet, and becoming a great harmony", saw that His Majesty suddenly had the idea of marking "Hongwu Zhengyun" with Western letters, so he naturally resisted.

"After all, this is Western Yiwen!"

Gu Yanwu's reminder made Zhu Mingzhong laugh, knowing that the Ming people of this era may not reject foreign civilizations, but they still have a high degree of self-confidence, so they naturally disdain to mark Chinese with Latin letters, so they said with a smile.

"Today is the Western Yi, but who knows, hundreds of years later, they will become Zhuxia?"

Who can guarantee that?

Perhaps more than a hundred years later, by the time of his grandchildren, the division of the Ming Dynasty had already reached Europe, and by that time, the whole of Europe had completely surrendered to the indoctrination of the Zhuxia, and English, German, French, and Russian and all other languages were no longer elegant languages, but only an indigenous language that tended to disappear, and even the people there spoke a dialect based on Chinese. Perhaps, they would have spoken fluent Daming official dialect at that time.

"The reason why Zhuxia can achieve today's Chinese civilization is precisely because we are good at learning, good at discovering and learning the strengths of the surrounding tribes, and then eclectic, so that today's China is born."

Although this is a bit of a strong word, Zhu Mingzhong's stereotyped thoughts make Zhu Mingzhong prefer Hanyu Pinyin, which is based on the Latin alphabet.

"Of course, what is more important is education, the current sociology must be further strengthened, because in the future, those children who come out of the sociology, they also shoulder the responsibility, shoulder the responsibility of spreading civilization to the whole world, with such a set of pinyin, the books in the social science can be marked, the pronunciation can be unified, so that when they move overseas in the future, they will be able to bring the most elegant Yayan of our Han people to the world!"

"Yayan, Zhengyan."

As for this "Yayan", does it matter whether it is the "Yayan" of the Tang Dynasty thousands of years ago? It doesn't matter, the important thing is that the unity of language can bring about the unity of the world, just as the reason why the Indians of later generations are grateful to the British is that they are grateful to the English that the British brought to them, and English has made the unification of India a reality.

Thinking of India in later generations and magnifying India to the whole world, when Zhu Mingzhong looked at Gu Yanwu, his eyes flashed with appreciation, and the scholar who can be remembered by history really has his own merits, and he can see the key to it very keenly.

Language!

It is the basis of unity.

If there were no Yayan formulated by the Zhou Dynasty among the nobles and scholars of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, even if there was a book of Qin Shi Huang with the same text, it would not be able to change the linguistic division of the people, and the split would still be inevitable.

"Language is not only to express meaning, to convey ideas, but also to connect the society, a unified language, can cultivate a unified thought, and the division of empires, often from the language of the first division, just like the European countries, when the aristocracy began to speak their own language in their daily life, a unified Europe, can not appear in the world."

Why can't Europe be united?

The reason for this is probably the linguistic inconsistency, although Latin is the language of the aristocracy and the language of religion, but Latin has never reached the mouths of ordinary people.

Since the Qin and Han dynasties, the reason why China has been able to maintain unity is precisely because of language. And this is precisely after the Zhou Dynasty divided the princes, the most important thing in each country is precisely the teaching and dissemination of Yayan.

"Your Majesty, now that I think about it, the ancient sages have already affirmed that these such as "the ancient kings, the founding of the country, the people, teaching first", is to say that the princes of the feudal places must focus on teaching, and "if a gentleman wants to turn the people into customs, he must learn from them", and later generations always understand that if you want to educate the people and create good customs and habits, you must start with education. But in fact, perhaps the so-called "turning the people" refers to the education of the Chinese people outside the city, and they must start with education. You can't just crusade against ......"

Gu Yanwu's re-understanding of the sage scriptures made Zhu Mingzhong's eyes light up, and at this moment, he seemed to understand that some words in the so-called sage scriptures were contradictory to each other, because the environment was different. The Zhou Dynasty was divided into Chinese and savage, and they were naturally treated differently.

Just as during colonial rule, Western colonizers treated their own people and indigenous people differently, and the so-called "humanity" of Western countries at that time referred to their own "humanity", but what about barbarians? Nature cannot be treated in the manner of a civilized country.

And those words in the "Scriptures of the Sages" that treat the people diametrically opposed, or even conflict, are not also such conflicts?

"Your Majesty......"

And Gu Yanwu himself also realized at this moment that the misunderstanding of scholars for more than 2,000 years - they misunderstood the original meaning of "Zhou Li", "Rites" and "Book of Rites".

It seems that we have all misunderstood the root of the Zhou system, the so-called Zhou system, today's view, should be to rule the summer with etiquette, to control the razor, to teach the raze to the ceremony. And if you can't pay respects, these people should be wild people outside the city. It should be controlled by force first, and then given a courtesy, turning it into summer, and if it cannot be controlled by force, it should be courtesy......"

When Gu Yanwu's words came into his ears, Zhu Mingzhong, who realized that he had also read the wrong book, suddenly had a conflict that wanted to cry, what a force, the Chinese people actually read the wrong book for more than 2,000 years, this, what the hell is this pot...... No one thought of it!

"Ningren, I ...... I seem to have read a fake book! ”
